Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Crystal Palace

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.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        He and Silva are my two favorites as a neutral.

        1. BERGKOP
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Agreed. Top players and no BS men

    4. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      That feeling when a team hauls 5 goals and you're striker gets 1 assist

    5. HurriKane
      • 11 Years

      Yes or No ?

      Sane --> KDB (-4)

      1. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Knee jerk.

      3. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        If you think KDB is worth the 3.0m plus difference, then sure

    6. Jafooli

      Sane owner, like myself, just seeing the score and knowing he started, would be like......oh 5 goals, will be amongst that.

      1. 32chickens

      Hasn't Caballero scored either?

    10. LakhaneeFC

      When a team scores 5 goals, and the striker decides he's better of playing deeper for the team...

      I'd like to reiterate that KDB IS NOT a captaincy option because it shows a lack of ambition. Thanks Admin.

          Did you do it? I had Silva and KdB in my team at that point, but sold both in the end 🙁

          1. Digital-Real
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            I was referring to DGW37, guess KDB peaked earlier than i thought!

            1. Deulofail

              (C) locked for next week though I bet

                7 years, 4 days ago

                Two home games going for CL spot, he's on set pieces and has found some form. Just needs two assists and a goal and it would be a successful TC chip choice.

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        They know something we don't

      What's the record for most assists in a season?

      1. UnitedFan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        19 I think

        1. BERGKOP
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Was that Ozil last year?

          1. UnitedFan
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Him and Henry are holding it together. Not completely sure on this though, just going off the top of my head. I heard something about Fabregas

      2. El-Kloppico
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        T.Henry..

      3. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        20 maybe

      4. Harper (No more Penandes)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        well if its 20, de bruyne will surely best that

    19. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      So of all the City players to choose, Sane and Jesus failed to score

    20. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Best 4.6m defender for GW37? 🙂

    21. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Sterling to Sane on a wildcard sums up this season. 😆

      1. Hakuho FPL
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 days ago

        Lanzini to Oriol Romeu also.

        1. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          I needed to get Romeu in order to afford Jesus (19 points) instead of Gabbiadini (0 points). If you're gonna commentate on my every move, at least look at the bigger picture.

          1. Hakuho FPL
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            you are so easy hahaha

              You are so weirdly obsessed.

              1. Hakuho FPL

                6 years, 11 months ago

                I see you are trying hard at this game. I thought you 'gave up' a while ago trying you amazing captain picks?

                Your rank is moving up, keep trying never give up a bit a luck goes a long way also. LOL @ Forza a Tool.

                1. Forza

                  I said I'd given up on caring about the results of my decisions, not the methods behind the decisions themselves. You should have noticed that, but awareness of nuance goes out of the window when one has a petty agenda.

                  1. Hakuho FPL
                    • 13 Years
                    6 years, 11 months ago

                    you really are too easy haha

                      You are really are so weirdly obsessed. Déjà vu!

    22. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years

      Jesus+Sané+Willy = 14
      Kdb = 16

      Clearly went for the right city assets 🙁
