Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Burnley vs Man City

And so it begins. Gameweek 13 gains momentum with an early kick-off at Turf Moor as Manchester City drop in on Burnley.

The build-up to this match was laced with uncertainty and the teamsheets reflect that, although perhaps not in the way we envisaged.

Sergio Aguero starts for City but Pep Guardiola builds his notoriety among Fantasy Football managers by leaving Kevin De Bruyne on his bench and omitting both Ilkay Gundogan and John Stones from the squad. Yaya Toure’s start in midfield was at least expected and, with David Silva also benched, the Ivorian looks set to be deployed in the number ten role.

Burnley also spring an unpleasant surprise with their selection, as the “essential” Tom Heaton misses out with a calf injury. Veteran Paul Robinson starts between the sticks and is charged with repelling Aguero and the City attack.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Sane made that play, but the two burnley defenders kicking the ball at the same time, and missing, and knocking each other down, giving the ball to man city, was comical

    Still Kane is better isnt he?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah, the 2.2m is too valuable... Kane should match Kun for points (ish) + upgrade somebody mid price to elite somewhere else = profit

      I mean seriously, Aguero dropped in price this week. Before Burnley. Absolutely ridiculous.

      Aguero(c) to Mane(c) last night

      1. ChristoBisto
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Still owning is good enough ๐Ÿ™‚ 13 points potentially is a good start to the weekend.

    • Numb
      • 9 Years

      Mark's mindgames worked! Spent the whole podcast persuading everyone to sell Aguero to create himself a differential!! ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Jay_
          7 years, 10 months ago

          He should be in parliament

      2. Del Griffith
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Think I'll keep Aguero after all now. Lukaku to Kane it is next GW

      3. Moose™
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Omg. Gave to Firmino for (C) on the very last minutes. Still glad keeping Kun. Big differential for this week in my ML.

        Thanks for the points Kun.

        If you've got Firmino(C) it's going to be a great day.

        I swear to the FFS gods, this happens every year...his price will always be questioned, but time and time again he proves that you simply can't go without him.
