Just three Gameweeks now stand between Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers and the long, dark teatime of the soul that is the summer break.

Yet with mini-league titles still to settle and another Double Gameweek on the horizon, difficult line-up decisions continue to present themselves. After a pair of red-hot Gameweeks across which his Man City side have racked up an impressive eight goals, Gabriel Jesus has firmly inserted himself into the Fantasy conversation and summarily dismantled the Wildcard template frontline of a Harry Kane – Romelu Lukaku/Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – Jamie Vardy triumvirate.

With goals in each of his last three starts, should Jesus displace one of his fellow heavy-hitters within our frontlines? And how much should we consider sacrificing to ensure we have the Brazilian on board?

In this latest Monitor article for members, we will be breaking down the striker’s season, recent form, and evaluating his potential over the final handful of games versus altnernative targets in the Man City squad.

    Did Dyche say anything about Mee in his press conference?

      Confirmed out.

    A - Who would you play out of smalling, lowton, long, Morgan?

    B - is Alonso to Davies worth it given that defence, and who else would you bench?

    C - who would you play out of groß and Barnes?

      Im doing alonso to vert

    2. Legohair

      A) Long
      B) Yes
      C) Barnes

      A-
      Clean sheet odds:
      MNU 2.10 48%
      BUR 2.30 43%
      LEI 4.50 22%

    5. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A) smalling
      B) No one knows (but I found owning alonsa painful this year)
      C) Barnes

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

      Smalling - form and a weak Arsenal side.

      Not Davies - Nailed?

      Groß - Midfielder potential for CS and more points for goals.

  3. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    0.4 ITB. Anything worth a hit?

    Foster
    Lowton - Kompany - Baines
    Walcott - Lingard - Eriksen - Sterling
    Kane - Jesus - Barnes

    Elliot - Shaqiri - TAA - Alonso

    1. fridge
      • 14 Years

      I'd be happy with that I think...

  4. Colonel Klink
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Have to ditch Mahrez or Salah for Sterling. Not a great choice.

    1. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If I could do Mahrez to Sterling for free it'd be one of the easiest transfers I've ever made

  5. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Monitor? This time of the season?

    Strike while the irons hot, imo.

  6. Woy of the Wovers
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A - Smalls
    B - For free perhaps
    C - Not knowing their opponents, Barnes

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Oh the shame...

  7. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What needs to be done here folks?

    De Gea
    Cedric Lowton Morgan
    Salah Mahrez Willian Lingard
    Kane Lukaku Barnes

    Ryan Alonso King Naughton

    1. I Member

      Lukaku -> Jesus or Mahrez -> Sterling if free. Wouldn't do anything for a hit. Nice team.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for the input. May wait a week on those moves.

        Thoughts on Alonso > Vertonghen?

  8. The Head-Ake
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    DDG
    Smalling Mustafi Chilwell Christensen
    Salah Sterling Eriksen Willian
    Auba Kane(c)

    (Mariappa - Crouch - Romeu - Henessey) (-4, no chips left). Is this good enough of a WC team? Would love your inputs

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Obv haven't done yet but might.

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        If a WC team, prefer Kane Jesus and Ayew up front
        Defence not to my liking , not going into detail but would get Vert or Davies in, or even my punt Trippier

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why Auba over Jesus?

      Not so sure about Christensen. Looks good otherwise.

    3. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don't like Christensen, Chilwell, Willian or Auba

      Would prefer Davies, VDH, Arnie and Jesus

      • 11 Years

      I would defo save till gw37. Dbgw and you would have 2 fts. Anyone could get injured and lots more potential points on offer. Plus Lukaku could do well against 2nd string Arsenal.

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years

        This

          Cheers.

          The more I think about it, the more sensible this is...

          Hadn't particularly considered saving til now. .

    Last week was tough seeing all the FH rmt as a non owner..

    Can’t lie im enjoying seeing all the scrambling for City assets this week though

    Swings n roundabouts as they say

    1. reekster
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yup.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Couldn't agree more.

  13. Red Rock
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Priority transfer?

    A)Mahrez > Sterling
    B) Lukaku > Jesus

    Will be doing the other next week anyway, just know I’ll remove the one that finally scores after keeping them in the doubke

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      None a priority imo , watch wait and hope

  14. Fantasydreamer
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What’s best going in to the double?

    A. Vardy, sterling, Willian, Mahrez (+4)
    B. Jesus, sterling, Willian, mahrez
    C. Vardy, sterling, dilva/sane, mahrez
    D. Vardy, sterling, Willian, dilva/sane?

    1. Zareos
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Fantasydreamer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks for the reply - I was thinking that as also helps block my main rival who’s on my tail. Like the consistent game time of Vardy but worried what going without Jesus could do!

  15. Zareos
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which duo for a DGW37 bench boost (behind in ML by 22 and both rivals have Vardy & Son).

    A. King and Vardy,
    B. Eriksen and Ayew?

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      B all say

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      B is a lot more expensive, and a better choice.

  16. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Can't afford Sterling already own Sane worth doing Mahrez > Dilva for free?

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would.

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think it is sound

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years

      Solid team, but not enough City for me..

  18. Plagued by indecision
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Was all set to save the transfer but now feeling anxious about lack of Sterling and Eriksen. Any thoughts? 1 FT and 1.7m in the bank. Also, starting XI correct?

    De Gea
    Tarkowski / Otamendi / Robertson
    Salah / Son / Willian / Zaha
    Barnes / Kane / Jesus

    Subs: Hennessey / Kenedy / Lowton / Morgan

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I just took a hit. I'll be priced out next week so...

      Robertson probably won't play, I'd rather just start Lowton

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not quite enough for Willian -> Sterling yeah? I'd save.

  19. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Just me or does Jesus look like an emoji?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That’s it! Knew I recognised him

    2. PocketZola
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes this one....(*_*)

  20. I Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A) Play Morgan (cry)
    B) Kiko Femenia -> Davies (WAT) -4 and bench Morgan

    1. PocketZola
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A, he may get a cs!

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Or he might not play but yeah I'm leaning towards that.

        1. PocketZola
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Who are your subs?

  21. Midlands Saint73
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Just noticed Kane is Monday night football which is putting me off Kane (C) a little (not sure why but it does). Anyone else thinking Giroud may be a great differential pick?

    1. PocketZola
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ballsy but do you take a hit for him?

      1. Midlands Saint73
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It would be Kaku to Giroud for a hit so prolly wait as Kaku may deliver.

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      supersub

    3. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He would be a brilliant diffential if your chasing in your ML then i would I'm gonna get him in this week or next DGW not decided yet though

      1. Midlands Saint73
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I am too far behind, despite green arrows last 3 in all other leagues the top 2 have pulled away by 100 points so time to go maverick.

        1. Lecky Legs FC
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah you have to go all out now but it's not impossible fantasy football has plenty of twists and turns best of luck though

  22. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What are thoughts on Tadic as good differential for double week 37?

    1. PocketZola
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Just say no. And dont look again.

  23. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Glad to see Cazorla training even if it wasn't a full one once again.

    1. PocketZola
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He needs to play the last game under wenger, even if its on crutchea

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket

        Crutchea ligament

  24. Mince n Tatties
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Going with a frontline of Kane, Jesus & Abuameyang

    To get Kane in - leaves me with a £5.5M Midfield pick

    With the DGW in mind - who would you bring in out of

    A. Gundogan
    B. Fernandinho
    C. Albrighton

    Cheers

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      A 100%

      1. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Fernandinho will be back

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Iwobi? Ward-Prowse?

      But single week Milivojevic may still be best bet

    3. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd rather Jordan Ayew over Auba and have a 10m+ midfielder

      1. Mince n Tatties
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I gotcha - it's Ayew I'm taking out - which 10M+ mid would be top of your list?
        If we get the Anfield Express leak and Salah is rested - Who would be first?

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Sterling/Eriksen/Sané, take your pick

    4. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would get Ritchie. A.

      1. PocketZola

  25. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I don't love the Jesus pick but I'm kinda liking the idea of Jesus and Gundogan for Murray and Salah if he doesn't play..

    A) Do that (-8)
    B) Just get Erikson (-4) and bench Murry permanantly

  26. PocketZola
