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, 13 days 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
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      join the club

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

    3. Regin
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

      Alonso or Mahrez

    2. BRFC1883
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      YOUR choice

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Duffy to Schelotto?

      1. mookie
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        +1

    4. All Bäcks
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Alonso -> Azpi

    5. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Son to Pogba

    6. NWA
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

      Duffy, no question.

    8. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Bailly to a nailed on defender.

    9. Ryan_P27
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

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

    10. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Duffy or Grob

  4. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

      Maybe

    2. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

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

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Same Spurs that Stoke managed to score against? City backlash

  5. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

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

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

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

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

          I wouldnt

  6. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

      yes
      ki?

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        He hasn't DGW34.

    2. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Yes, Lingard

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

      Not sure about losing Son.

      1. Gentle_Turks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        But if you do it, maybe Millivojevic?

      2. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

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

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

            Exactly like the WC it seems.

            1. Whats the Huth
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 13 days 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

      • shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

          Not the question I asked buddy

          1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

              Cheers pal

    2. Henning
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Salah Aubameyang Adrian out for
      Eriksen Lukaku de Gea??

      Using FH gw 35

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        Great moves

      2. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

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

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

        FH35 party time!

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

        haha sure

    4. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days 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, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

            could work, risky though

      2. Jekori
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

          He was awesome in the second half.

      3. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        Who are you sacrificing to get him?

        1. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

            kane will take auba spot

    5. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

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

      2. Rash
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

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

    6. EMERGING STAR
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

        Same.Two frees are nice.

    8. Lombardo86
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

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

    9. Infamy, Infamy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

        Is it?

    10. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

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

      1. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

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

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

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

        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, 13 days ago

          Did you wildcard?

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 13 days 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

    13. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

        Mariappa to Kiko?

        1. Rash
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 13 days ago

          Thanks worth considering with his oop status

    14. km79
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      How on earth is that Shaqiri assist still there.

    15. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

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

      3. Goonsquad245
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

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

    16. Stimps

      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*

      • 13 Years

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

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years

    18. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

    19. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Mustafi and Auba to Smalling and Kane for a hit?
