    Jesus must be the most frustrating player in the league. Stifles all creativity in the most attacking team.

    Don't know what to say. Thought the brave move on wc was getting Aguero in for this fixture despite his blank in 28. Funny thing is if I hadn't got Kun I would have captained KDB. Beyond fed up after that.

    64 all in. Main rival had Aguero captained so delighted with his blank.

    A bang average 56.

    Small red arrows but managed to scrape a H2H win thanks to combo of KDB haul and Aguerooooo blank

    Yeah solely on the fact it got rearranged this game week. Not the fact we have them.

    I had De Bruyne captain and I don't feel one bit lucky. There was a call to be made between him or Aguero for captaincy this week, and thankfully I got the tight call right for once!

    Tbf there's no luck in having a game played in a gameweek it was scheduled to be played in originally.

    Was on 47 (-4) going into this game but looks like I'll finish on 75 (-4) thanks to captain KDB.

    Soyuncu on the bench as first sub is annoying, but overall well pleased with that.

    So after a gw that feels like it lasted as long as the season and 61 points I'm predicted to drop about 800 places. At least we've only to wait till saturday now for more torture

    I don't get why people are annoyed that he blanked, he's not going to return big scores every time he plays, he scored a hattrick, followed by a brace and then got a goal when came on as a Sub. He could go and score 2 against Leicester - you just got to weather the storm.

    A lot would have got him in after the 5 goals in 2 games and have ended up with 8 pts from 3 games. He now has a tough game against Leicester that you couldn't be certain he will play followed by a blank.

    To be honest I'm a firm believer in 'due a blank'

    If a player scores like that people have to accept they missed the haul. Chasing last weeks points. How frequently do players score 3,2,2,2,1 etc? That form is sproadic. Aguero isn't known for his assists either so you're wanting him to get 2+ every game you have him

    He was odds on to score tonight. Your the guy with the oddsonfpl site aren't you? 😂

    Ageuro to be rested against Leicester now after his 90 mins tonite is very likely with Madrid game up next

    Yup one of them! Although not doing it this year.

    I just mean from an FPL perspective for example

    -

    Aguero 3 2 2 Goals
    Aubam 3 2 0 Goals.

    If both had easy fixtures I would want Aubam more as I feel Aguero is more likely to blank as that form is not going to be maintained (generally speaking)

    It's a 100% viable option, I just think people chase last week's points.

    The 2 hauls he got were amazing for owners as all the other major captains options scored poorly when he hauled. It was a huge boost for them close to a 50 pt gain over 2 weeks. Villa he was always going to start as he got benched for the carabao cup game against utd, but the palace game he was a risky pick. Its hard not to get caught up in going for him after that has happened and especially as he is a Cult hero on here. However you have Salah 7.3 KDB 7 Mane 6.6 Vardy 6.4 aguero 6.2 PPG. Then if you look at Overall score he is only the 15th highest scorer KDB 175, Salah 168, Vardy 154, mane 152, Aguero 123.

    Hmmm not sure about that one. It sounds similar to betting on red in roulette because black has come up 5 times in a row.

    57 points. 1 more than average sees a slight red arrow. Captain Aguero the big let down of the GW. Bringing him in a few GW's ago has certainly not worked out.

    60 points and red arrows all around, thought it was a decent score until this morning. Salah captain costing me in a few leagues, surprised so many went with KDB
