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.

  8. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years

    Worth downgrading Valencia > Blind to fund Tadic > Hazard and Negredo > Gabbi?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How many hits? But I'd say yes, definitely.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years

        -8. No Wild card

    Is Rashford due?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe next season.

  10. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which combo for the WC?

    A) Sanchez and King

    B) Ozil and Coutinho

    1. nkhoughton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B but I'd find a way to have King Alexis and couts

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

  11. The Tinkerman

    I really have nothing against Bravo, but if that injury would rule him out until after the DGW it would really help with my transfer headaches. Saves me 0.6 over Cech, enabling Hazard.

    Ref lost this match in the first half

    Excellent from Aguero, he accelerates and closes the last couple inches, essentially bouncing himself off Fellaini head to get that red.
