The thought of "Pep roulette" may put millions of managers off captaining a Manchester City star in Fantasy Premier League for Gameweek 6 but the experts say one player is safe from rotation.

Pep Guardiola shocked Kevin De Bruyne's (£9.8m) 35.7 per cent owners by benching him at Norwich City last weekend and there are fears of a repeat at home to Watford on Saturday.

Raheem Sterling (£12.3m) and De Bruyne each played the majority of Wednesday's UEFA Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk but Sergio Aguero (£12.1m) was an unused substitute and looks a sure bet for FPL managers.

"It's an absolute no-brainer this week," says FPL expert Mark McGettigan on the latest FPL Show. "You can just give Aguero the armband and you'll probably get two or three goals out of him."

McGettigan also says many may even consider ditching Sterling for Aguero, who is owned by only 27.3 per cent of teams despite being the game's second-highest points scorer.

"A lot of people are going to be tempted, especially if they have two free transfers, to lose Sterling and get Aguero just to give him that armband because of the fear of rotation," he says.
