Furious fantasy football managers bemoan their luck after Agüero charge

Manchester City could be without their top scorer for the Manchester Derby - and a few games after that - after Sergio Agüero was hit with an FA charge for an alleged elbow on Winston Reid.

But what about the real victims of the situation? That's right, those of us with Agüero as our fantasy football captain.

Is it really worth replacing Agüero with Zlatan Ibrahimović when Manchester United have City, Leicester, Liverpool and Chelsea in their next six games? We don't have all the answers, but we do know one thing. You probably want to wait until after the international break before doing anything. After all, you don't want to replace a suspended striker only to end up with an injured one in his place. Read more
