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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Sad to say but this could be Kun's last start for City.

    What moves would you make here guys? Two fts, no wildcard. Bench boost and all out attack left

    I'm now thinking valencia to Gabriel and barnes to Adobe?

    Pickford Valdes
    Alonso valencia holgate yoshida Olsson
    Sanchez alli eriksen coutinho zaha
    Lukaku barnes Kane

    Is Marcus Rashford (c) going to pay off today?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hope so, not confident 🙂

  21. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    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. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      2nd in the overall rankings has him tho

  22. Fuchs Mane Kante
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

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

  23. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    With Sagna injured is Zabaleta nailed?

    Or is Navas lurking?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Could put anyone there. It's Pep

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sagna on bench tonight

      Zaba is behind both Navas and Sagna

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

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

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          no

  24. Rainer

    Myky playing as striker 😯

  27. Rainer

    8 years, 7 months ago

    Rashford RWB 😛

  28. diesel001

    8 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months 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
        8 years, 7 months 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

  29. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    please united CS Valencia and DDG here

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Lets be honest it's never going to happen

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        never say never

      2. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

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

    An Aguero hatty tonight will ruin my WC.

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