A lacklustre Double Gameweek 34 limps to its conclusion this Thursday evening with the small matter of a Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium.

Marcus Rashford returns to the starting XI in the second match of United’s Double Gameweek as they look for a win that would allow them to leapfrog Pep Guardiola’s men in the race for a Champions League spot.

Drafted in by a massive 457,000+ FPL managers last week and captained by 6.3%, the teenager served up a single point against Burnley on Sunday after being afforded a late role off the bench.

Antonio Valencia is also named on Jose Mourinho’s teamsheet, much to the relief of his 17.5% owners – the Ecuadorian was rested for three of his side’s previous four league fixtures.

The Red Devils’ arrive on the back of a fine defensive record, conceding just once in their last five.

Yet they face a man in form in Sergio Aguero, who is looking to score for a sixth successive league appearance – his most consistent streak of the season.

The Argentine has recovered from the knock that forced him off against Arsenal at Wembley on Sunday and carries the captaincy hopes of 8.2% FPL managers tonight.

With a trip to Middlesbrough up next this weekend and a pair of home fixtures in Double Gameweek 37, the likes of Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne could also play their way into consideration if they can overcome their resilient visitors.

We’re also keeping an eye on the pitch time of Gabriel Jesus as he looks to reclaim the lone striker role from Aguero.

The Brazilian – who bagged 24 points in his first two league starts – is fit enough to be named amongst the subs after recovering from the foot injury that forced him off against Bournemouth back in Gameweek 25.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

  8. GoonerByron

    Looks like City are another team where no defensive option is safe from a rest..

    Was hoping on going Clichy in my WC team this week 🙁

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No I'll need to complain about Valencia a few more times

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not me, expecting a couple of goal celebrations 😀

  10. Fuchs Mane Kante

    No Pog points. Got Rashy in the mirror game need a brace.

  11. Jafooli

    With Sagna injured is Zabaleta nailed?

    Or is Navas lurking?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Could put anyone there. It's Pep

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years

      Sagna on bench tonight

      Zaba is behind both Navas and Sagna

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Oh ffs....is Stones on the bench?

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          no

    Rashford RWB 😛

  16. diesel001

    Martial playing left wing and Rashford right wing with Mkhi up top - interesting

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it
      It could be another tactical master class from Jose

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I still think both Martial and Rashford are better when they play as strikers. The way I see it is as kids they were bought up playing up front and scoring goals so why are they being asked to do something different now? If Utd need wingers then play Valencia and Young

  17. Bruno Bruno!!

    please united CS Valencia and DDG here

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years

        Hope not, lots of people doubling up on that defence, I've only got Valencia.

  18. Jafooli

    An Aguero hatty tonight will ruin my WC.

    Also a nailed on Ake would save a world of WC hurt.

    What kind of stupid camera angle was that.

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years

    What's with the camera angles on corners?

  26. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I thought Aguero was told he has to stay in the box? Or is Pep just telling him to say that?

  27. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane - Lukaku - Negredo

    Going for some 1-week replacement in Negredo's place before I WC for GW36.
