Sergio Aguero (£11.8m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) have both been handed rests by Pep Guardiola in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Manchester City are visiting Swansea City to compete for a place in the semi-finals, and to potentially confirm a Blank in Gameweek 33.

If they do, that would mean a third Double Gameweek for the defending champions this season, having faced Arsenal and Everton in Gameweek 25 and already confirmed to be playing twice in Gameweek 35.

That later Double Gameweek is booked out with matches against Tottenham (home) and Manchester United (away), which means Manchester City’s Blank Gameweek 33 home meeting with Cardiff would probably move to Double Gameweek 32 if they leave south Wales with a win tonight.

That would set up a hugely appealing Double Gameweek with Fulham (away) and the Bluebirds (home) their two opponents.

For that reason, Fantasy managers, especially those looking to Free Hit in Double Gameweek 32, will be hoping that Manchester City win today.

Watford already confirmed that they and Fulham would not play in Gameweek 33 with their win over Crystal Palace earlier today.

Apart from the rests for Aguero and Sterling, it is a relatively strong line-up named by Guardiola to take on Championship opposition.

Ederson (£5.6m) keeps his place in goal and plays behind a back-four consisting of Fabian Delph (£5.3m), Aymeric Laporte (£5.9m), Nicolas Otamendi (£6.0m) and Kyle Walker (£6.4m).

David Silva (£8.5m), Bernardo Silva (£7.5m) and Ilkay Gündogan (£5.4m) are the central midfield trio with a three-man attack consisting of Leroy Sané (£9.3m), Riyad Mahrez (£8.2m) and Gabriel Jesus (£9.9m).

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Delph, Gundogan, D Silva, B Silva, Sane, Mahrez, Jesus.

    If I play my FH now and confirm my transfer can I make more transfers before the deadline (for free)?

      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Yes

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Don't care about it.
      Chelsea will have dgw in 32

    Folks who watched the BOU game:

    How were Fraser and Wilson? Salty new owner who brought em both in for hits here, lol 🙂

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      same question, for the same reason

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Both a bit meh. Did create much. Wilson nearly scored though.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        Well hopefully will be better in 33

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 days ago

          Yep

    3. JJO
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Fraser hit post
      Wilsons shot cleaned exactly from goal line
      So they could have easly had 2 goal each

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        Encouraging at least, even if a big let down today. Good to know, thanks JJO!

        1. JJO
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 days ago

          no problem
          * 1 goal each

      2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        Lolwut

  4. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Well played Swansea I feel for you

    But at least Wales won the Grand Slam if that is any consolation..... Have a great night

  5. Mweene
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    If I sell Doherty now to avoid price drop, then free hit later on this GW - will the Doherty transfer count as part of my FH and therefore still be in my team for the following week?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      yes

      1. Mweene
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        But then what will happen in terms of team value?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 days ago

          If he drops, he drops when you get GW33 team back.

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        He may well not drop. DGW next week, so can imagine lot of nett transfer-ins this evening.

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Sell him if you are sure you don't want to play him this gw.

  6. onceuponatyne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Right... so we're FHing - but not until the fixtures are announced??

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      probably just to be sure?

    2. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      just do it now - before price rises

    3. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Guessing that’s the plan

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      MUN vs WAT wol
      WOL vs bur MUN
      MCI vs ful CAR
      CAR vs CHE mci
      BHA vs SOU che

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        Those United fixtures aren't that great

        Watford and Wolves are 2 decent teams

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 days ago

          CHE vs car BHA

      2. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        is that 100%?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 days ago

  7. jaybradlights
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    GW Rank - 9,048, Crikey.

    Very fortunate that the players I would have got rid of on a FH (King, Anderson, maybe Rondon) pulled through. Bring on triple Liverpool and Hazard tomorrow!

  8. EMBOLOFAN
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    club double gameweek hits are free
    kun and ilkay there's enough for everyone

  9. Danstoke82

    Anyone hitting the free hit button tonight?

    1. Ross From Friends
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Yes but wait for price changes...looks like Rashford and Pogba are dropping and Mane and Fab rising...that's a gain! woohoo

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Not until the fixtures are confirmed

  10. EMERGING STAR
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    I will have Pogba, Rashford, Sterling, BernardoSilva , Aguero and Hazard for next week with a single hit. Worth doing FH ? Or TC a better option?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      TC better option

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years

          • Has Moderation Rights

          You can make transfers then use WC/FH depending.
