Following the disappointment of Spurs defeat at West Ham, the Gameweek resumes at the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City host Crystal Palace.

From a Fantasy perspective, there is one man under the microscope.

Brought in by 228,000+ ahead of this weekend – a key target for those dealing Wildcards – Gabriel Jesus goes into today’s game with a weight of expectation on his shoulders. He will lead the City attack in the absence of Sergio Aguero having scored four goals from six appearances and just five shots on target. Over 51,000 have also trusted Jesus with their Gameweek armband for this Palace clash.

Elsewhere, Leroy Sane is recalled to today’s City line-up with the backing of 41,000+ new FPL owners – the 7.7-priced winger remains a key differential, however: he’s still found in just 6.5% of squads.

Indeed, it’s Palace who boast the top owned players in today’s encounter, with both Wilfried Zaha (13.9%) and Christian Benteke (11.1%) still nursing high ownerships following their recent double Gameweek 34.

It remains to be seen if the Eagles pair can improve on the 1-point they both returned against Burnley last weekend. Certainly, the 38,000+ who acquired City keeper Willy Caballero for Gameweek 36 will be hoping they are kept quiet.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Has Willy a save point yet?

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      1 more save needed, I thinks

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      He's firmly placed on my bench.

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      No needs another save

  2. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 26 days ago

    Save point for Willy?

    1. nkhoughton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Nope

    2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Needs another save

  3. nkhoughton
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 26 days ago

    0.2 shy of going Coutiniho to KDB

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Blessing in disguise

  4. Dr. Mantis Toboggan

      Reply fail, was going to say he scored so I would just take Kompany's 6, but then again I do think the BPS system can be unfair sometimes

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Nah KDB was stealing BAPS anyway!

    4. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years

      I can't believe you're complaining about BAPs when your defender has scored 😯

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 26 days ago

          Doesn't matter, he's splendid behind the striker as well.

    2. tm245
      • 14 Years

      No players for the rest of the day.

    3. Piggs Boson

    4. Ligdon

        Morrison benched.

      • Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        That Sunderland team, it's hard to grasp how they've managed to create such a Championship level squad with so much money!

      • Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        Whoever is in charge of player recruitment at Sunderland, if I was the boss I would have fired him long since.

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 26 days ago

          On a second thought, maybe they already did that and the current guy is not to be blamed for their misery.

      • FP El Wonky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        Nice work!

      West Ham did this early in the season against City. Five guys swirling around Aguero, and the mids ran riot. They basically accepted they had no chance of winning so they tried not to lose 6-0.

      Same tactics here it seems, frustrating as a Jesus owner.

      1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        As did Stoke, iirc it was 4-1 with no Kun involvement. Nolito and KdB had a field day and I flipped a table.

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 26 days ago

          Yep, hard to predict when it will happen.

      2. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        Love that strategy. Deal with it. 😎

    10. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years

    11. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Whelan starts!

    12. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Sane you goose

    13. JJO
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Oh my Sane

    14. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      2. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        Will the game end at 75min?

      3. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        😀

    15. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Sane's been woeful

    16. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Please Brunt do something good today!

    17. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years

      Anichebe Goal would be great

    18. Ryan Naysmith
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Sane good at everything except shooting

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        and passing
        and decision making
        ...

    19. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Spencer in with a shout.

    20. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Sané shifting from Hero to Zero in the space of 30min.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        Gerrard slipped.

    21. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Well my differential in going for Gray in the scout picks failed

    22. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

    23. niko mate
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      The wrong people scored the goals. Sane and Jesus are so bad.

    24. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      So most of us with BB left for 37 WC this week 36.
      If we were able to WC & BB at the same time what changes would you make for next week?
      Would you keep your spurs players? sanchez?

    25. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Top 10k average up 5 already today off 1 player. Bloody annoying

    26. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Man City going through the motions now. No urgency

    27. Syd.
      • 16 Years
