Sergio Aguero

We complete our combined XI with the Argentine striker. A partnership between Lukaku and Aguero could result in many goal records being broken. Arguably two of the top strikers in the Premier League, neither could be relegated to the bench. Playing both would allow one or the other to drop deeper and still put pressure on the backline. Any team to hold this striker force to a clean sheet would be well earned.
