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.

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He and Silva are my two favorites as a neutral.

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

        Agreed. Top players and no BS men

  12. UnitedFan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    That feeling when a team hauls 5 goals and you're striker gets 1 assist

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

    Yes or No ?

    Sane --> KDB (-4)

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

      Knee jerk.

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

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If you think KDB is worth the 3.0m plus difference, then sure

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

    Sane owner, like myself, just seeing the score and knowing he started, would be like......oh 5 goals, will be amongst that.

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Team game

  15. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sane owes me about 15 Gabriel jesus points

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Big Sam the tactical genius getting hammered

    1. 32chickens

      Job over for season

  17. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Hasn't Caballero scored either?

  18. LakhaneeFC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    When a team scores 5 goals, and the striker decides he's better of playing deeper for the team...

  19. Deulofail

    9 years, 2 months ago

    I'd like to reiterate that KDB IS NOT a captaincy option because it shows a lack of ambition. Thanks Admin.

        9 years, 2 months ago

        Did you do it? I had Silva and KdB in my team at that point, but sold both in the end 🙁

        1. Digital-Real
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I was referring to DGW37, guess KDB peaked earlier than i thought!

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

            (C) locked for next week though I bet

            1. Digital-Real
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Two home games going for CL spot, he's on set pieces and has found some form. Just needs two assists and a goal and it would be a successful TC chip choice.

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      They know something we don't

    2. Alnair

  23. Bruno Bruno!!

    Clichy and Willy Carbonara BOY

  26. Harper_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 2 months ago

    What's the record for most assists in a season?

    1. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      19 I think

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

        Was that Ozil last year?

        1. UnitedFan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Him and Henry are holding it together. Not completely sure on this though, just going off the top of my head. I heard something about Fabregas

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      T.Henry..

    3. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      20 maybe

    4. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      well if its 20, de bruyne will surely best that

  27. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    So of all the City players to choose, Sane and Jesus failed to score

  28. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Best 4.6m defender for GW37? 🙂

  29. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling to Sane on a wildcard sums up this season. 😆

    1. Hakuho FPL
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lanzini to Oriol Romeu also.

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I needed to get Romeu in order to afford Jesus (19 points) instead of Gabbiadini (0 points). If you're gonna commentate on my every move, at least look at the bigger picture.

        1. Hakuho FPL
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          you are so easy hahaha

          1. Forza
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            You are so weirdly obsessed.

            1. Hakuho FPL
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I see you are trying hard at this game. I thought you 'gave up' a while ago trying you amazing captain picks?

              Your rank is moving up, keep trying never give up a bit a luck goes a long way also. LOL @ Forza a Tool.

              1. Forza
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                9 years, 1 month ago

                I said I'd given up on caring about the results of my decisions, not the methods behind the decisions themselves. You should have noticed that, but awareness of nuance goes out of the window when one has a petty agenda.

                1. Hakuho FPL
                  • 15 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  you really are too easy haha

                  1. Forza
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 11 Years
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    You are really are so weirdly obsessed. Déjà vu!

    Jesus+Sané+Willy = 14
