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.

    Come on Jesus goal. No United in my defence so this will sting if Utd get a cleansheet

    Is Costa and Pedro adequate cover for not owning Hazard?

    I would have to do Zaha > Hazard (No WC), and it's very difficult to afford without multiple hits. I think I'd rather gamble on Costa than Jesus.

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

      Yes, I would fancy Costa to at least equal Hazard's points over the DGW

    2. Pinky Blinders
