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.

    Are Smalling owners keeping for double game week and do you expect him to play both games?

    1. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      it seems like if you have him keep, if you bring in, be wary... I reckon could be fine though. that goal may have cemented his place for it

    2. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Keeping because more pressing matters but naturally wary of his security

    3. Pinky Blinders

      Ok they were playing City, but he looked pretty bad all game aside from the goal he got on the free kick. If Jones is available, I would think Mou would prefer him with Bailly

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Jones was available today

        1. Tiki-Taka
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          wouldn't he have been on the bench? unless i'm missing something

          1. HamezMace
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Lindtdof was on the bench, doesn’t need two centre backs

            1. Tiki-Taka
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              surely Jones is above Rojo and Lind in the ranks

              1. HamezMace
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                Well as Lindelof was on the bench, and came on, and Jones wasn’t, I’m going to say he’s not.

                Rojo was not fit today. But Jones was.

                1. Tiki-Taka
                  • 15 Years
                  8 years, 2 months ago

                  Lind came on 94min as a timewaster/protect the lead lol, just can't see Jones being below him and Rojo given his performances earlier in the season? Rojo was on the bench so surely fit

                  1. HamezMace
                    • 11 Years
                    8 years, 2 months ago

                    I’m just going on what was officially reported by United.
                    Jones was available, but not selected in the 18. Rojo is training but wasn’t match fit.

      2. Clintymints
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yea he looked terrible tbh. But got the baps

    4. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      Bally looked nervous.

  2. red forever

    This so called greatest ever PL side is about to lose 3 on the bounce 😆

    1. Lloyd Xmas

      Media hype says they are great.

  3. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Crazy to swap Kaku to Kane and Salah to Sanchez?

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If it is for a -8 then yes

    2. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…

      not at all

  4. Man Getting Hit By Football

    8 years, 2 months ago

    Was at the Watford vs Burnley game today, as a Barnes owner I am slightly concerned after Vokes scored with his first touch & Barnes was shifted onto the left wing. For the price he is good value but I would say stretch to Wood if you are looking at a Burnley attacker and can afford it, he looked more threatening. I would also avoid Watford for now.

    1. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      damn was gonna triple up on watford given their form and fixtures

      1. Man Getting Hit By Football
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        There home form was good before today, but their goal was a rebound and they never looked like equalising when they went behind. Maybe it was because it was Burnley. If you are looking at Watford maybe Mariappa as he is the kindest price, good luck for the run in.

        1. Tiki-Taka
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Sorry mate I was being sarcastic (no DGWs and no options imo) but now I feel bad, appreciate the points on Burnley though - good luck for the run in also!

          1. Man Getting Hit By Football
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Haha delayed trains getting home playing with my emotions, should've realised. All the best!

  5. lordkippe
    • 9 Years

    Clearly a Kane goal.

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

      Ye his last goal against Palace was pretty clear.

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

      you can argue he did move the air around the ball

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

      nope

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

      Kane said he felt it touch his shoulder.

      salty comment

      1. lordkippe
        • 9 Years

        its not salty! its a fact 🙂

  6. Prøfeßör …
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    How did Lingard play?

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Well

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. He's one of the players I'm considering for GW 34.

  7. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Foster
    Baines Ake Alonso
    Walcott Shaqiri Eriksen Hazard
    Aubamayang Deeney Lukaku (c)

    Elliot VLP TAA Schindler

    Which option is better for DGW34?

    A Elliot, VLP & Aubamayang > Ryan, Lingard & Kane - use BB
    B Baines, Deeney & Aubamayang > Lowton, Barnes & Vardy - use TC

  8. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Salah and Stephens -> Eriksen & Smalling for -4

    Yay or Nay ?

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

    Aubameyang and Son to Kane and Arnautovic? Can’t find a midfielder with a DGW under 7m worth having and Arnie has Stoke at home...

  10. BucketHead
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Lukaku and gudmundsonn or Sanchez and a 5.5 forward??

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

      the latter with barnes

    2. Tommo1888
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Exactly what I’m thinking . The only thing detering me is I was going to change Lukaku to Kane after gw 34!

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Aent sanchez already. Differential capo next week.

    4. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      Sanchez!

  11. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    WTF. my captain doesnt get his goal. this is corrupt. seriously. Why isnt there more complaints about this ?

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

      Kane?

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

      You are 4 hours late.

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Timekeeping and eyesight a problem, then.

        1. Bunk Moreland
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Soft eyes...

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

            it is a fact he touched the ball. so Cant really understand the feedback here

    3. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Mark didnt bring him in.

  12. Clintymints
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Ok I need to drop Son to get in Kane... So would you rather Cork/Kenedy?

    DdG Ryan
    Alonso Mustafi Robertson Morgan Lowton
    Salah Marhrez Son Willian Gudmundsson
    Vardy Auba Kane

    4.8 to spend if I drop son. Don't fancy dropping the others! 2 Burnley mids seems a lot though. But double game over Kenedy could be good.

    1. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez > 5.4 or Son > 4.8 Is the changes I can do...

      grim choices.

  13. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years

    Oh my goodness what a game. Some many options just cant choose now for dgw34

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

      I want Sanchez... but going Lukaku vs weaker teams

  14. SG1
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    FH activated!

    DDG

    Morgan, Lowton, Christiansen

    Mahrez, Alli, Lingard, Willian

    Kane, Lukaku, Vardy

    Poor bench, but includes Dunk & Cork.

    GTG?

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

      you vs me:

      you: lowton, Christiansen mahrez & lingard
      me: Maguire, Alonso, Gross & Pogba

      I've no idea which is better!

      1. SG1
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        You must have more ITB. Would take all your options over mine, except Mahrez!

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

          I've a terrible bench! try it. also owner Maguire for ages

    2. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Why do you need bench?

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

        ^this!

        1. SG1
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Only in case players don't play!

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

            they'll surely play 1 of the 2 games? worth the risk imo

  15. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Playing BB:

    Would you do Auba+Salah+Gross to Kane+Sanchez+King for -4?

    1. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yep I'd do that

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      yes

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

      Not if you’re stuck with them for 35!

  16. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Cant decide whether to WC or FH
    Is it safe to transfer in the players i want first? Then later just click the FH/WC button

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

      FH for me but i'm ok for 35... how you set for 35?

  17. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Lads any thoughts/help/opinions/slags more than welcome!!! chasing in a cash league

    FH 34 1st attempt
    DDG
    Maguire, Alonso, Morgan
    Alli, Pogba, Willian, Gross
    Kane, Lukaku, Vardy

    3.9, 4.2, 3.9, 3.9

  18. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Question about the free hit chip. Can i gain team value on the players i have on free hit? For example if Kanes value goes up 0.2 do i get 0.1itb next gw?
    Sorry if been asked before, didnt find an answer in the rules.

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No. If Kane goes up 0.2 you can use the 0.1. during the free hit week but on next deadline your team will revert back to what it was at the start of the gameweek at current prices.

      1. Pukki Party
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks for clearing that up. How about the other way around, if i transfer a player out tonight on fh, and his value goes up, do i get the rise?

        1. Pasqualinho
          • 17 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Yep. And if his value goes down, you suffer the fall.

          1. Pukki Party
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            All clear, thank you!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          no just back to first team

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

            sorry just re-read your question. so if you have lukaku for example and transfer to kane, if kane goes up 0.2 you can use that extra 0.1 in the FH week but next week you go back to lukaku, if he has dropped (for examples sake) you get him at that price

            1. Pukki Party
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Thanks!

    2. MTPockets
        8 years, 2 months ago

        No, but if you hypothetically made 0.1m on buying/selling within the week not sure if you keep that.

    3. Snikii
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Auba,Son and Willian to Kane, Sanchez and Fraser -8?

    4. sinik

        He's lying 🙂

          Still as a capping owner I trust him. 😉

          Crikey he's persistent.

        What a match!

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

          Yes! Much better than feared.

        2. Forever In Our Shadow
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          It certainly was for utd. Pep woond up the pog.

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

        Christensen to Azpi (-4) worth it for BB in DGW34?

        1. Tiki-Taka
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Not at all

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

            Just worried Christ won't play both games, the same in DGW37

            1. Tiki-Taka
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Of course we don't know but I reckon he's safe in the XI as a CB and Conte seems to like him. Don't think that small risk is worth a -4 and also the funds you're losing going Azpi over Christensen

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

        Playing the FreeHit!

        I guess 3 players each from Chelsea, Leicester and United should be the priorities.

        Apart from him which 2 players should be included?

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

          Them*

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

          a spurs mid probably. and don’t be blinded by teams just because they don’t have a DGW, e.g. Southampton and Bournemouth defenders may have a DGW and be cheap, but with their fixtures a SGW cheapie may outperform them

      7. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Wow. What a low scoring week so far. Massively underwhelming.

        Auba (c) to save the week?

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

        If you had to, who would you triple captain on GW34?

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

          Sanchez or Lukaku. Kane an option too.

        2. Tiki-Taka
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Lukaku or Kane, tough decision to decide between those 2 imo

        3. Forever In Our Shadow
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Sanchez

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

          Sanchez

      9. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years

        is ki not favoured any more at swans?

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

        Willian or Lingaard on a FH?
