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.

      You're okay I'm still alive.

    You just never trust City to hold a CS

  5. tm245

    Palace consolation goal is all that's left to hope for.

    Brilliant. Lots on here talking up Sane & Jesus previously and now all of a sudden they become rubbish players. What a joke.

      Cruel world

        this place is like the daily mail comments section sometimes

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Nah the busdriver is the physical manifestation of that comment section

    2. Lone Wolf
      • 9 Years

      not true at all

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Have you been hiding under a stone ?

    3. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Attacking returns for Jesus and a little rest for the next game. I'm content..

    4. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Doubt anyone will be moving him out

  7. ChampChomp
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Bournemouth team looks quite weak. Could affect King's prospects

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nah means they'll be feeding him more

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Why weak? Only one chanage no? Afobe out.

      1. ChampChomp
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Cook, Pugh, Mousset. Don't rate any of them too highly. Missing Wilshere and Surman from midfield as well. They are playing Stoke though

  8. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    €5 on King & Vardy first goalscorer returns €140.

    Just saying 😉

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Where are you getting those odds from?

  9. BERGKOP
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Will Kun hang around if he isn't favoured by Pep?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Doubt it

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Probably get 50 - 60 million plus for him. At some point City are going to run out of things to sponsor and will need to get money in from transfers to afford their buys.

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Haha.

    3. 32chickens
      • 15 Years

      He's going

  10. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Yeah there's the weekly goal for the player I got rid of. Fairly typical.

  11. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years

    1. Holmes

      Saving for DGW

  12. The Polymath

    Well done Jesus. Keeping yourself quiet to stop further sales so that you can EXPLODE for all us owners in the DGW week, 🙂

  13. SirStevieG
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez needs to score two hat-tricks to save my game-week.

  14. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I wouldn't be surprised if Nacho scored. Has one of the best minutes to goals ratio this season 😉 http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/7159/

  15. Jönny
    • 17 Years

    Clawed back 30 points on my league leader over the last 3-4 weeks. Today, he has Kompany and KDB. More or less back where I started 🙁

    1. Sergeant Garcia

    Nice Company on my bench.

    1. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Why???

  21. JJO
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    How frustrating this game can be
    FFS just a little bit of luck is all Im asking for
    Again my main rival outscoring me Kompany and Aguero
    And I have Sane and Jesus
    And every faking gw is like this

    1. Jönny
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I feel ya..

    2. JJO
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I swear he has like 25+ goals from defenders every season

  22. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sane & Jesus are rubbish.

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No they're not

    2. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      You need to see the match mate.... Not rubbish but selfish (sane) & lack of support (jesus)

  23. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    It could be worse the guy coming 5th in the world captained Jesus

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Points on the board at least.

  24. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Benched willy for jaku at the last minute last week and we know what happened.
    Played jaku this week so no clean sheet there.

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I benched Willy for De Gea. I realy thought Palace would score, so i didnt want to double up with Kompany

  25. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    King Hattrick incoming, you heard it here first.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not really. I think I've heard it before 😉

  26. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    My team - 9 points, Kompany in bench - 11 points.

    1. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      *on

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      You. Benched. Kompany. At. Home. To. Palace. Omg.

      1. FALCAO & MOU
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        They conceded 2 to Boro, and I am playing AOA this week.

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Why would you bench Kompany 🙁

    4. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      You can only blame yourself. Why would anybody bench Kompany at home against Palace?

  27. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    KDB not a captaincy option because it shows a lack of ambition

    http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2017/05/04/the-scoutcast-episode-224-maths/?hc_page=16#hc_comment_15613741

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      All DGW players have a higher ceiling than KdB because they play more minutes

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        'Points ceiling' does not mean guaranteed points

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Hope this is educational for y'all
