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.

    Problem is I'm worried sterling gets rested next game. It's Sane's turn

      Isn't B Silva more likely to make way?

      1. FPL Scoop

        8 years, 2 days ago

        Surely...

    Ref must be a Sterling(C) .. was miffed by him being subbed to stop a D Silva Assist, Jesus Goal

    Lol everyone trying to score so what could be 8-0 will be 4-0 (or 4-1)

    1. Albrightondknight

      Please I need Danilo to lose a few BAPS

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Swansea goal & another save from Fab means he'll probably get 3 BAPs 😆

    1. A Betting Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Just one more save will probably do that...

      1. A Betting Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        There you go, set for max currently, though will probably drop down.

      Rival got Ederson so i'd be ecstatic for one swans goal

    1. -SB-
      • 9 Years

      Nah he just had a lot of energy. He doesnt even have that lately.

    4. Bada Bing
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Seems like a lifetime ago. He's been a complete waste of space today. His only saving grace is Kun's injury.

    Mendy likes drilling low shots.. Good news for Jesus

  13. Sun Jihai

    Sane and Sterling to be switched for the next game?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

    Big ML season difining moment Sane or Silva, I chose Sane, millimetres

  16. FPL Scoop

    Jesus folding under the pressure of all of us bringing him in...

    Better sort it out and score next week, and in 37

  17. Somalion
    • 16 Years

    Mendy + baps

  18. The Left Duke #3

    Downgraded Barnes to Crouch to fund my Monreal to Bellerin move. Crouch 1st in bench and coming in for Sane. What a complete disaster

    Please just pass to Jesus so he can get his confidence back.

    Folks criticising Mendy after 6 or 7 minutes.
    Get a grip guys, truly pathetic.

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years

      But he was only out for 6 months with a broken leg

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Unsurprisingly with so many on here having had extensive EPL playing careers only to be expected.
