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.

            I tried something with cinnamon from Jim Beam a few mths ago and went unconscious. Was drinking from the bottle directly as I thought my form was picking up- just like Harry's..oh well.

    My -8 paying off
    Maguire > Tomkins;
    Mahrez > Sterling;
    Lukaku > Jesus;
    No FH or WC so had to take 10 hits since GW30 to keep up with rivals with their chips left

      Really? Kane looks seriously under cooked at the moment.

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

        He has 8 days to heal. Due penalty for sure. Who is your C guy young man?

        1. Old Man
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Good question - I will probably chicken out and captain Harry too, but I might go Salah if I can be sure he'd play.

    So is Burnley Long done now or will he stay in the starting lineup?

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

      Depends on Mee.

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

      Depend on Mee availability

      1. Powers106
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        So clearly not enough to supplant another defender right?

        1. Sif
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          No other recognised CBs
          Long is in while Mee is out, which could be rest of the season.

  16. Rash

    Jesus should be gambling there instead of stood surrounded by 3 defenders

  22. Sánchez
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I once read a man city match report that said "yaya toure looked all of his 32 years" insinuating he was past it.

    He's 1 week younger than me (34 now, nearly 35). Reading that comment and realising I was therefore past it too was one of life's low points.

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

      Probably past it to be a PL footballer. But most top business execs are in their late 40s and 50s

      1. Sánchez
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I mean physically past it.
        Those guys are only capable of playing golf

    3. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      34, in a holding role yaya has a big presence, he could definitely still start in a CDM role in the prem at a few clubs. Wages the big issue, i see him going US for some more dollar.

      1. Sánchez
        • 11 Years

        I'll say he does something like that. China maybe
