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.

    Kaku to start both games next week regardless of the cup? Sanchez more of a risk? Can't see Jose taking focus off 2nd regardless of the cup tbh but could Sanchez be prime for rotation?

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

      Lukaku always plays 90 minutes. He is a lion. Unfortunately he never scores more than 1 goal.

    13pts here with Mustafi, Alonso, Willian and Auba(c) to go...

    🙁

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      join the club

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Same players to come here except I am a point less on 12

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

      27 (-4) with 4 players to go incl. Auba (c). But I just cant over the fact that Sterling denied Otamendi s goal. I have both of them in myteam!

    This question WILL divide opinion!
    Out of this lot, who would YOU downgrade to get £0.2m to be able to get Kane in?

    De Gea ,Ryan
    Duffy, Lowton, Alonso, Bailly, Morgan
    Salah, Mahrez, Groß, Son, Willian
    Vardy, Barnes

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

      Alonso or Mahrez

    2. BRFC1883
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      YOUR choice

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

      Duffy to Schelotto?

      1. mookie
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        +1

    4. All Bäcks
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Alonso -> Azpi

    5. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Son to Pogba

    6. NWA
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Am giving Alonso a last game. If no return this GW am downgrading him and firmino to get Kane

    7. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Duffy, no question.

    8. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Bailly to a nailed on defender.

    9. Ryan_P27
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Lowton to Long if Mee is out injured still which seems likely

    10. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Duffy or Grob

  4. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    If liverpool and united manage to score 3 past city in last 2 games spurs will be licking their lips.

    Kane (C) is tempting. could inflict more misery to a wounded city team who will be likely out of cl midweek. (alongside tasty brighton game).

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe

    2. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Kane takes time to get going. Not in form, avoid.

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Same Spurs that Stoke managed to score against? City backlash

  5. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    is vert worth a -4 (monreal out)? I dont think it is....

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I took out Monreal because i needed the money, it depends

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        dont need the money its just a sgw vs dgw thing ....though for -4
        plus id only want monreal back after for the run in and 37

        1. Jeremy Corbyn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I wouldnt

  6. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Son, Auba > 6.1M, Kane for free

    Yay or Nay?

    PS: The midfielder can't be Gross.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      yes
      ki?

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        He hasn't DGW34.

    2. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, Lingard

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Don't like him, but the 6.1M max mid pool isn't that good...

        So may get him, yes.

    3. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure about losing Son.

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

        But if you do it, maybe Millivojevic?

      2. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        All he did for 33,34 is 1 assist. What a performances!

        Will think about it later...

  7. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    In a free hit.
    If I was to remove Salah at the value I can sell him at (I've a lot of value tied up in him).

    Then later in the week I deceided to bring him back in. Would I have to pay his full price. Or wouldn't I get him back at the value I sold him for.

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Full price. Will come back next gw as if nothing happened.

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          That's a bit rubbish

          Will have to be cautious who I transfer out with a Free Hit

          1. Legomané
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Exactly like the WC it seems.

            1. Whats the Huth
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Yeah, just tried this out on Mee to Lowton

              Cant get Mee back for 4.7, would have to pay 4.9

              I best keep Salah till end of the week to be on safe side

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        whatever your team is before the week before you hit free hit you revert back to including any price changes in that time

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Not the question I asked buddy

          1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            aaah I get you now, ye just like WC, but don’t forget you can load your bench full of 3.9ers to get some extra cash

            1. Whats the Huth
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Cheers pal

    2. Henning
      • 11 Years

      Salah Aubameyang Adrian out for
      Eriksen Lukaku de Gea??

      Using FH gw 35

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Great moves

      2. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I'd be worried to sell Salah, but it does make sense in your case

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      City's lead is down to 13, so title will still be alive in blank GW35 provide United don't loss both DGW34 games. Bonus.

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

        FH35 party time!

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          two extra live GW's for City and United, we should all be celebrating.

      2. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        haha sure

    4. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I want sanchez in my team so much, i am willing to go without kane.

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I thought the same, but I'd be too anxious not to own

        1. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I think there might be a way for me to get them in both but it will involve a -8 to get mili and mariapa for gudmund and mustafi.... dont think i can resist

          1. Jeremy Corbyn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            could work, risky though

      2. Jekori
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Did he play great the second half? Will wait for MOTD but i'm thinking Salah > Sanchez as a nice differential, need to do Auba > Vardy but he's been on fire recently so not to worried.

        1. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          He was awesome in the second half.

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

        Who are you sacrificing to get him?

        1. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          will be Salah. i can also get kane in if i do gudmund+mustafi to mariappa+milivojevic

          1. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            kane will take auba spot

    5. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      this is my BB team (-4)

      DDG, Ryan,
      Alonso, Lowton, Morgan, Ward, Chilwell
      Salah, Gross, Son, Wilian, Mahrez
      Kane, Lu(K)aku, Barnes

      I'm open to discussions on where to place the armband

      1. Bunk Moreland
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Lukaku for me. Best fixtures, nailed on, flat track bully and in form.

        1. Jeremy Corbyn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah but he's not scoring lots, Kane would be the obvious alternative, or even Mahrez. I'm on Lukaku atm

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

        Leaves armband where it is.. although the way city are defending it may not be a bad fixture for Kane

      3. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Kane all day bud.Have you seen Kaku play recently?

    6. EMERGING STAR
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Sad that i decided against Pogba since he was playing in a defensive position. Went with Alli and then mili for a possible willian slot otherwise. So cant complain much though

    7. mookie
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      So glad i saved my FT and didn't sell Salah for Alli. Keept my options open, can bring in one of Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen or Pogba along with Kane.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Same.Two frees are nice.

    8. Lombardo86
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Whos Rotating in Jose Backline in DGW? Baily and Smalling the main partnership?

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

      Instead of Kane or Lukaku in for Aubameyang, it’s seriously tempting to downgrade to Joshua King and turn Matic into Alli.

      1. Adams6
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Is it?

    10. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      WHAT A GAME!!! On a side note... Lukaku was absolutely horrible!!!!

      1. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        He was last week also.Touch of a baby elephant.

    11. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Only just noticed that Kane got 1 point today. After all the furore about getting him in. Priceless.

      1. Volley127

        Easy to say after the event 🙂 visions of hatties last night...sadly I've gone too early on a few picks this season, while rivals seem to time their acquisition perfectly 😯

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Did you wildcard?

          1. Legomané
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Yup 😯
            Took a -8 for Kane Mahrez and Zaha then just went full dullard.
            Owning Firmino Salah Stanislas was a bit of a worry, turns out it was a bit of a low scoring affair all round in any case.

      3. HamezMace
        • 11 Years

        And he’ll go up in price tonight

      😆

    13. Rash
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Best use of 2 FT here with no FH left?

      DDG pope
      Alonso smalling lowton Mustafi mariappa
      Salah son willian Mahrez Kennedy
      Kaku Auba Barnes

      .2 itb

      Thinking maybe make 1 move and carry 2 into 35?

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Mariappa to Kiko?

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

          Thanks worth considering with his oop status

    14. km79
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      How on earth is that Shaqiri assist still there.

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

      I'm a vardy and auba and had been set to turn that into Kane and lukaku (c) for the dgw.

      Seem like a mistake to remove vardy.

      Anyone in similar boat looking at sanchez instead of lukaku??

      Thanks

      1. Bunk Moreland
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Gotta keep Vardy. 🙂 happy sanchez owner here, went him over Lukaku as I just think he's a better player. But both are good options, Lukaku loves playing bad teams.

      2. Jekori
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Auba > Vardy and Salah > Sanchez very much on the table here

      3. Goonsquad245
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I have the same issue - for me it's either Eriksen + Lukaku (plus a lot of change) or Kane + Sanchez with a Groß downgrade (-4)

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

        vardy keeps on getting consolation goals from 1 yard. Frustrating for those who dont own him like me.

    16. Stimps
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Hi to all.. Any ideas how to fit Kane in here? Only have 1FT, 0.9itb. Note downgrading Mustafi only leaves me with 4.2 defender

      DDG Ryan
      Alonso Mustafi Morgan Tarkowski Stephens
      Son Alli Mahrez Gross Willian
      Auba Lukaku Barnes

      1. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        West Ham have dgw 37 also Dummett

    17. Mikeharbrw
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      This makes city pretty appealing for the Swansea game in 35- that could well be the title game

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        So easy to triple up with FH too

    18. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Thinking of doing Sane/Mounie > Pogba/Barnes for a hit

    19. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Mustafi and Auba to Smalling and Kane for a hit?

      A) Salah, Auba, Son ➡ Sánchez, Kane, Mili (-4)
      B) Salah, Auba, Dummett ➡ Pogba, Kane, Tarkowski (-4)
      C) Auba, Son, Dummett ➡ Lingard, Kane, Tarkowski (-4)

      The team:

      DDG Ryan

      Hazard Salah Mahrez Son Kenedy
      Kane Vardy Barnes

      Cheers 🙂

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years

        Auba instead of Kane obviously 😛

      2. Goonsquad245
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago
