Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Swansea

Gameweek 35 rolls on with another big fixture for Fantasy managers as champions Manchester City host relegation-threatened Swansea at the Etihad Stadium.

The home side features the two most signed players ahead of Saturday’s deadline, with both Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus named in their strong starting line-up.

Sterling was acquired by over 327,000 managers having delivered two goals and three assists from is last four Gameweek starts.

But striker Jesus has proved even more popular. The injury to Sergio Aguero has paved the way for the Brazilian to command a regular starting role over Man City’s remaining five fixtures, continuing today. He was snapped up by 375,000+ ahead of Gameweek 35 and is also captained by 272,000+ (4.6%).

Around that pair, City have a number of explosive assets capable of delivering big scores.

Kevin De Bruyne, as part of 22.3% of squads, has the ability to play a significant role in this match and Gameweek 35, though the Belgian is without a goal in his last eight Gameweek appearances (7 starts), which have produced four assists and just two bonus points.

Meanwhile, David Silva was brought in by 84,000+ but is owned by a relatively modest 12.3%, he has three goals and three assists from his last six Gameweek appearances. Winger Leroy Sane has an identical ownership but finds himself dropped to the bench today, ending a run of six successive starts.

That isn’t the only teamsheet tweak to annoy Fantasy managers. Both Kyle Walker and Nicolas Otemendi also start in reserve, boasting a combined ownership of 2.4 million managers.

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

    Is Sterling assist 100 % confirmed? Been on the wrong end of so many points that have been given and then taken away lately.

    1. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years

      Yes, Mark said so 🙂

    Ffs.

  14. FantasyNik123
    • 10 Years

    Can anyone think of players in recent memory worse than Salah and Sterling, in terms of getting bonus points?

  15. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    DDG

    Fernandez, VVD, Jagielka

    Lingard, Sterling, Salah, Willian

    Kane(C), Wood, Aubemayang

    Elliot, Shaqiri, Ogbonna, Mbemba

    Deeply sad, changed captaincy from stelring to salah but thats not it, prefered pickford belerin ota mane ozil with fodders in the bench over butland baines ota(long would have came on) ramsey arnie

  19. Jafooli
    • 12 Years

  20. eazy
    • 8 Years

    Anyone else hoping they wouldn't have to revert back to their original team after free hit 😀 Would rather have Sterling, Silva etc than Mahrez, Willian

    1. Nightf0x
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.

      That's exactly where FH fails.

      1. Reuser
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Unless you played FH in 34. Delighted to have my original team back.

        (Full disclosure - FH earned me a mighty 7 extra points in 34, so it's not all roses)

    3. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Haha, exactly

  21. DAZZ

    What is considered a failure on a FH? What are your score checks currently? Im on 47 No FH from 10 players.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      On a FH. 49 including Laca bonus. Got Sterling and Jesus still playing. Have assumed 0 bonus for both.

    2. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      51

    3. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Getting less than your non-free hit team would have scored.

    4. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Less than 30 now?
      On FH and 50 now here.

    5. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      53 incl. bonus, Baines left.

    6. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      44 from 9. Sterling Jesus and hopefully Sane in this one - Baines and Tosun to come. Ramsey and butland to get some bonus along with Sterling prob.

      The score is contextual - personally I got 96 in the Salah 4 goals week and confident this, 50-60 week and 97 from bb last week proves this strategy right. But obviously wanted and expected more

      If you planned for 34 & 37 DGWs and GW35 FH, then can you really judge success/failure until you’ve seen them all the way through? Maybe you can if you have an amazing or atrocious FH, but anything in between requires a big picture view. I’m on 69 with Baines to go. How I feel about 34, 35, and 37 will depend on how I perform across all three in total and my rank after GW37 compared to after GW33.

    I was chasing a 30 lead and brought in Bellerin, Walker, sane, Ozil, welbeck while my rival brought Monreal, Ramsay, Lacazette and sterling captain! Season over

      Wow, very unlucky. Hard to justify Sane over Sterling and Welbeck over Lacazette, but still unlucky.

      Unlucky but betting on sane welbz over sterling laca is asking for trouble

  23. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would you stick with Arnautovic on WC, or switch to Lingard to free up £1m?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      arnie all the day long

    2. Powers106
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Arnie pretty consistent but not sure about the run in

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lingard i reckon. He has become a mourinho favorite

    4. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lingard

    4. Rainer

      Don't think Jesus will be on the pitch in the 85th.

    5. George Sillett
      • 8 Years

      Is that in the same club as Jonty & FPL Virgin ?

  26. TheCurseOfRaheem

    This week was close to being a great escape. Bloody Laca and his 5 minute brace.

    Chances of Sane getting on ? I need Barnes to come on for a jammy 7 pts

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years

      Will surely get his cameo

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years

        Why surely?

        1. El-Kloppico
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Cant see neither Sterling nor Jesus making 90

    2. JustPark

      Highly likely.

    3. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Highly likely - I don't see why he wouldn't tbh. Esp as this is a little title celebration. But maybe he will score and the Barnes points won't matter

    4. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.. Highly likely 😉

    It was a huge mistake to sell Sterling before GW30.

    I bought him for 7.9m, I now have to buy him back this week for 8.9m for a hit.

    In that time he's gotten 36 points (with a half to go) while the DGW replacements (Mahrez, Willian etc) have blanked consistently.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sold in GW33. He has got 14 pts in that time. Mahrez (his replacement) has got 7pts. So net 7pts down.

      Thankfully got him this week on my free hit.
