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.

    Mustafi/Stones/Yoshida/Stephens was this weeks defence for me lol.. Think I should be allowed a bonus point

    And the funny thing is I had Rojo too, had to get in Bailly...

    Can see Mou switching out Rash early to not risk him.

    Bottom of last page...

    Anyone have thoughts on the best GK available from now until the end of the season?

    With Bravo getting his third match in a row tonight, I'm pretty tempted to take a punt on him. Don't really see what better options are out there. Forster has terrible fixtures and Cech is expensive...

      • 9 Years

      Truly horrendous.

    Spidercam should only ever be used for replays.

    Rashford taking pages from Aguero play book with injury scare.

    Zero players in this game... sold Aguero on a 4pt hit... serious behind the sofa time! 😀

      Yep, you will def need a non-Aguero city goal to ruin the cleanies

    Nothing much into feet for Rashford. United looking to play it down the channels for him for a straight "race" against Otamendi or Kompany.

    Mourinho knows his stuff.

  18. La Roja

    Bailly is a solid defender

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Blind is a solid defender

  19. Rainer

    United in a good place if they keep Bailly in the coming years!
