The day’s events end at the Etihad Stadium for an encounter which could decide the fate of the Premier League title.

Manchester City host rivals United requiring a victory and three points to seal the deal.

From a Fantasy perspective, this is a rather bizarre match-up, with modest Gameweek investment in City assets and little expected of our United players.

David Silva was the most popular City target heading into today’s deadline, claiming 74,000 new owners following three goals and three assists in his last four Gameweeks.

Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku goes into this contest with four goals and two assists from his previous six Gameweek starts but having been sold by 146,000 ahead of today’s deadline, the fourth most sold overall. Some 81,000 of those managers swapped for Kane who produced just a single point today.

David De Gea is perhaps the key man for United. He is the third most owned player as part of 44.3% of squads, though he is kept in reserve by 335,000 of his owners today, making him the fourth most benched player in the Gameweek.

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

    Is that right that even a win vs spurs won't win city the title?

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Depends what United do

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes - 6 pt swing towards Utd today.

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    4. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not just that alone

    5. Miro
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      It is if Utd win their game

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

      Not if United win

    7. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I mean city won't win it then if they beat spurs, but will if utd lose the next day

    Keep Mourhino in a job for another year

    What a turnaround, fair play to United.

    Mou can be so classy. Shame its only when he wins.

      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's not gonna play a lacsidasical city team every week

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

    Pretty decent result for those with no players in that game

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years

      Absolutely great result.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Yep. Ryan > De Gea this week

    City to save the title party till GW35 at home to Swansea so

    If Sterling had taken one of those chances before HT city could have gone on to win by 4 or 5. Such small margins.

    1. Dokdok666

      or 9. or 11?!

  10. ★Kuntheman★

    This season is gonna fall really flat if we don't get the job done against Liverpool

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      What do you think are the chances of a turnaround?
      Kun back looks massive and he always does well vs Liverpool, but 3 seems a big ask

  11. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    City look deflated. Tuesday is the biggest game of their season now. You get the feeling they're either going to turn up with class or get another beating.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Biggest game in their history.

      Players don't take well to pressure if today is anything to go by.

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      The latter imo. They ran out of steam

    3. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      You've nailed it on the head Berbs. I don't know what to expect now, I was very confident about it even before this derby but now I'm concerned.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I think you guys will start like a house on fire but once we score, it'll be similar to today. Your players lose their head too quickly.

    Pogba essential

  13. Zilla

      1. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        nah not really, you're last your entire history then if you believe what you are saying 😉

  14. Kaptenen

    Does the free hit chip work like a oneweek wildcard? Can I do how many transfers I want until the next deadline?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yep

      1. Kaptenen
        • 10 Years

        cheers

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    3. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, one week wc (unlimited transfers) that then reverts back to the team you had before, so no other permanent transfers can be done before the FH that week (they get cancelled as soon as you play FH). The week after the FH you have one free transfer.

    Liverpool dropping points away to Everton today makes me feel sick now knowing we could have closed the gap on Man City 😐

  17. jonny77
    • 13 Years

    Feel like I deserved more from Aguero and Sterling today :/

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      You should get minus points for Sterling.

      1. Regin
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        really Sterlin should get -5 for his idiotic performance today! And he is in my team!

      2. jonny77
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        sterling should have bagged at least about 3 or 4

  18. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Title winning game against Swans now, right? Could be a bloodbath.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      They might have already won it

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      They play Spurs before Swansea.

    What a massive comeback! Good result for fpl side as well. Hope they keep scoring for fun in gw37.

    Can the Kane ‘goal’ be reviewed or are we done
    He’s convinced he touched it

    1. Davido989

      He's an embarrassment.

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I haven’t seen, is it pretty clear cut he was nowhere near it ?

      2. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        and you're a Liverpool fan 😉

      3. BIGREDDOG
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Harsh. I've been in situations as a striker where you feel contact with the ball and no one thinks it touches you. I believe he felt contact and if there's contact then its his goal. (I'm happy it wasn't his goal as I don't have him) but that's my opinion. Also his positioning is why the keeper has to let it go - he expects the touch off Kane so he doesn't just sit tight and catch Eriksen's cross.

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Don't worry. Kane filing a lawsuit. Should be overturned

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      It really is pathetic what he is doing

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Greedy striker. Can't ask for more - what striker doesn't want goals?

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years

      Good god this is embarrassing

    6. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      So does he touch the ball or not? Or will the goal being review again?

    7. Regin
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      definitely no touch by Kane.

  22. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    You know it is a crap GW when the Top 10k avearge is 19pts from 7.5 players (out of 12 - captain counts double) played.

    Half time: Man United 0 shots.
    Full time: Man United score 3 goals with 4 shots in 23 minutes.
    1st time ever a Pep team has lost back to back conceding 3 or more goals...

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years

      Also the first time since December 2013 that Pep loses after leading by 2 goals.
      Happened when he lost with Bayern against Man City

  26. FPL Maldini

    Which transfer is better?

    A) Gudmondsen and Alonso —> Sanchez (c) and Naughton

    B) Gudmondson and Ibe —> Pogba and Lingard (but captain Kane).

    1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 14 Years

      Sanchez because of captaincy. Thank me after gw 34.

    Sterling struggling to finish his dinner again I see

  28. JustPark
    • 10 Years

    Wish I could redo my WC. Sanchez and Vardy instead of Kaku and Mahrez.

  29. HamezMace

    After these last two City games it’s amazing more teams haven’t tried to attack them. So poor defensively.
