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.

    It's great seeing Henry and Wenger reunited 🙂

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It feels so good

  2. MFC86
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Thankfully no one has KDB in my league !!

  3. Pacer.
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    As someone who left Zaha and Townsend in by mistake due to Friday night (now 6 combined performances without return), I'm pretty grateful that Jesus and Sane flunked.

    My captain is still on Gabby. Really anything could happen here

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Jesus got an assist?

      1. Pacer.
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        5 goals and a single assist?

        That's a pretty major flunk

  4. Mickey Tyrion™
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Knew I should've went for KDB as a differential.. but fell for the template instead. Damn.

    1. Moose™
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Same. Would catch my ML leader if I had KdB. Move on.

    2. Mortal.Swinbat
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I took him out this week for a -4 to afford the hype train Jesus. Should have stuck with my gut, KDB has been playing well lately

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      If you knew then why didn't you do it ?

  5. barracuda
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    What has happened to Caballero?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      MOTM

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He was an incredible shot-stopper at Malaga. I've been going to their games for years (every time I visit family over there), and he was a legend there. Everyone loved him.

    3. YTUMAMMA
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kompany!

      ...he should def have a save point as well!...saved 3 or 4.

    4. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I mean, why has he only played 83 mins?

      1. david31058
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        He played the full 90

        1. barracuda
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Ah, ok. Thanks, livescore had it differently. Thanks

      2. RedLightning
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        He played 90 minutes.

  6. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    The form this season is so hard to predict. I really though Palace would do well today

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Think losing a couple of their best defenders through injury hasn't helped.

  7. Ange Ball
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I think im jinx how can you have De Jesus and Sane not one them scored. I've had 3 bad gws

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

    If a player wins a FK, but in the process is injured and has to be subbed of before it's taken, and it then results in a goal, once he's off the pitch - does he get the assist, if he's been replaced?

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

      He should.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Whoa, great point... two rules contradict there.

      I assume he would!

    3. Somalion
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm fairly sure they do but can't think of a specific example.

  9. vectorman
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I wouldn't be to worried by that game as a Sane owner. The guy played pretty well didn't he? you were mighty unlucky.

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

      People need to stop whining like a lil biatch. Im getting sick of this place recently.. lol

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Where else would we do it. No one in real life's cares ...they don't even understand

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

          😆

      2. Pacer.
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        You only have yourself to blame for coming here in a match day. You're basically putting yourself in the company of compulsive gamblers in the throws of their habit. Ecstacy (gloating) and despair (tantrums). It's absolutely one of the ugliest places to be on the internet during play. Hateful. I try to stop myself coming here, but I'm also an addict and it updates quicker than bbc

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

          😀

      3. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Too right. Some of it is ridiculous. Perspective is a foreign concept to many.

    2. MTPockets
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I sold him. Feeling quite lucky.

        1. vectorman
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Think the word you were looking for is smug.. And that would be fair enough 😀

          1. MTPockets
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Not until Hazard/King play.

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

          I thought he was wasteful

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

            still looked miore dangerous than sterling

        3. TOPCAT1960
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          you watched the game no ?

        4. *sigh*
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yup not tempted at all to change Sane or Jesus.Feel people tend to chase last weeks points to much.They have plum dgw fixtures coming up and may even captain Jesus now he is established in team.

          1. vectorman
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Might get him in myself (sane) for one of my Spurs mids.

        5. MrZ
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Just need to pass more and work on his shot
          Lots of chances for him....

      • Alnair
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Kdb is on pens too right?

        1. Garlana
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Nah yaya

        2. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Unless Yaya is on field like today. But I can't see them going with this attacking team in harder matches, Yaya to make way for Fernandinho starting from next match again and KDB on pens. 😎

        3. MrZ
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yaya is

        4. Alnair
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Ah forgot about uncle Yaya...

      • Arteta
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Benched Caballero for Cech. 6+ points and I'm happy

        1. sminkypinky
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Same

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

        In the article pic, Pep is saying "One goal or assist, was that really too much to ask"?

      • Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Whenever Aguero does not start...KDB Excels

      • Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Well Zaha has been tremendous for me since I got him in a month ago...

      • Paganoi
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Glad I kept the faith with Sterling.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          It was a great finish. Glad to see the quality is there, somewhere.

      • Rolls-Royce
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Sane could've had a hattick if it wasn't for his wayward finish

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

          see below

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

          And three assist for Jesus goals if he wasn't so selfish

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            This. Terrible teamwork, but insané dribbling.

        3. Arteta
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Shame 😐

      • HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        All city starters apart from Yaya Fernandinho and Sane got on the points

        Thing is he had 3-4 nice goal scoring chances. Really Dissapointed as a Sane owner 🙁

      • money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years

          Depends on how Arsenal play this DGW. Both have decent fixtures...

      • Individual
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Stones owners: keeping or getting rid? Looking at taking a -8 to replace with Kompany....

        1. Mark-O
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I got him on a WC for the Southampton match and he suddenly got a knock out of nowhere and deprived my CS points

          Unsure 🙁

      • VFORVANDETA

      • Fred54
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        WC moves , will I regret them we shall see.

        Went with Tadic over King to 'honour' the DGW, don't have Gabbi.
        Costa over Kane.
        Unfortunately spent extra money replacing Jags with Vert.
        Pickford over Willy, although near of them would have started for me.

      • tm245
        • 14 Years

        Sanchez Ozil Hazard KDB Redmond
        Kane Gabbiadini Jesus
