Following the disappointment of Spurs defeat at West Ham, the Gameweek resumes at the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City host Crystal Palace.
From a Fantasy perspective, there is one man under the microscope.
Brought in by 228,000+ ahead of this weekend – a key target for those dealing Wildcards – Gabriel Jesus goes into today’s game with a weight of expectation on his shoulders. He will lead the City attack in the absence of Sergio Aguero having scored four goals from six appearances and just five shots on target. Over 51,000 have also trusted Jesus with their Gameweek armband for this Palace clash.
Elsewhere, Leroy Sane is recalled to today’s City line-up with the backing of 41,000+ new FPL owners – the 7.7-priced winger remains a key differential, however: he’s still found in just 6.5% of squads.
Indeed, it’s Palace who boast the top owned players in today’s encounter, with both Wilfried Zaha (13.9%) and Christian Benteke (11.1%) still nursing high ownerships following their recent double Gameweek 34.
It remains to be seen if the Eagles pair can improve on the 1-point they both returned against Burnley last weekend. Certainly, the 38,000+ who acquired City keeper Willy Caballero for Gameweek 36 will be hoping they are kept quiet.
