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.

        You also brought Wilson in for a hit though didn't you?

  2. Fantasy Gold
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Saw quite a few people say that Josh King would score a brace now everybody is buying Wilson 🙂

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Saw quite a few people selling King for Wilson 🙂

      Yeah, was always gonna happen eh? Ffs

    7 years, 5 months ago

    Top10k: 15 (-2.5) 5 played
    Overall: 6.5 (-1) 2 played

    Servers have been dodgy all day, so mightn't be 100% accurate.

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      How many players do the top 10k have in total

      1. Rainer
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Thats a question for Ragabolly!

        Expect it to be 9-11 while 22% have used their FH this week.

      2. fr3d
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Probably close to 10.0

    2. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Do we know average hits taken by top10k?

    3. Jay_

      Cheers mate

  4. dunas_dog

    Did Maddison pick up injury?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Collided with Chilwell and went off shortly after.

  5. jtreble
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Do we have an idea of what the average score is so far this week?

    1. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Never mind: FPL Discovery back on line.

  6. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Any reason not to activate FH now? Will be nice to see crap like Felipe and Pereira out my team for a bit

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      City losing might change your plans.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You still won't be getting rid Felipe and Pereira for good however. Have you considered WC32, FH33, BB35 or TC35 ?

      1. JoeJitzu +42
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Had planned FH32 but you make a good point.

        Get rid of the dross earlier and FH slightly better dross for GW 33

        Interesting alright...

      2. HD7
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        The drawback is you might have accumulated injuries before BB 35

        1. FantaCity
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          ... but the advantage is that any injuries accumulated during the International Break can be dealt with on the WC

      3. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Hmmh not bad at all this route ...

  7. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    If I play the free hit now can I make transfers all week (like a wildcard)?

    1. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yup.

    2. grumpyman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes. But careful if activating it now as many of the popular free hit picks may actually drop in price tonight. Might be better to wait until tomorrow.

      1. SomeoneKnows
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Why would they drop in price, I don't get it? People are bringing them in, not selling them

        1. JoeJitzu +42
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Flip statistics has a few dropping this evening due to transfers today.
          If the FHitters wait they’ll get some 0.1 less

          1. JoeJitzu +42
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            *FPL

        2. grumpyman
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          People were selling them in droves this morning. Some (Pogba, Doherty etc) predicted to fall right now on FPL Stats.

    Stupid Slabhead ruined the Vardy party.

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Burnley low block was never going to cater the Vardy party. Fulham were so naive last GW vs him.

      Maddison & McNeil may swap.

      1. THE Wild Rover

        Wrong answer 🙁

          McNeil was great, was close to more, which costs him the BAP in the end.

    King and maddison on the bench. That shows what a casual i really am. Feel stupid tbh.

    Considering who is most likely to play a DGW next week, who would you consider essential? I'm looking at 3 Citeh for sore, Kun, Sterling and Laporte. Pogba and Lukaku are firmly on my radar, too.

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      If Brighton beat Millwall, Kane will also have a DGW32, with Palace being Spurs first opponents in the new stadium.

    2. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      3 Chelsea, Man C, Man U and 2 Soton should do the trick

  14. HD7
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Rival is without FH and WC. I have all the chips. Expected him to play the TC in GW 32 - Aguero or Sterling... however he played it like me Salah (TC) this GW...
    Very impulisve and short sighted I might say.
    In our money league we also have money award every 4 GWs before the General one in the end of season. He was 100 pts behind me, after last GW he was only 9pts behind me. Clearly short sighted though. Expect after my FH GW 32 I will again have a nice lead 🙂

  15. bitm2007

    It will be interesting to see who much, if any FH'ers have gained so far this GW.

    18 from 6, no FH here.

    1. ppv
      • 15 Years

      10 from 6 FH

      1. DeathoftheParty

    Mo, punishment SVP.

    1. Positive vibes

      This

  18. TheDragon

    Do we know what Salahs effective ownership is in top 10k and do we have any mane update

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      174% and Scotty didn't spot him on a train

  19. threeputt

    Last 10 of ML LMS, gonna boil down to my Mane (c) v the rest who all have Salah (c)

    1. HurriKane

      Mane out it seems . Whos ur vice?

      1. Regin
        • 9 Years

        why is mane out?

      2. threeputt
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Higuain
        Reckon Mane will be fine

  20. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    So that was abysmal.

  21. Regin
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    all those last minute goals cost me 4 points, 2 for ake & 2 for taylor, they lost their 1 bp & conceded 2 goals. this is a gw where 4 or 5 points can make a big difference,

  22. Chester Pepperpot

    How many players are in the top 10k?

    1. The Tinkerman

      erm... 10,000?

      1. XabiAlonso
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        About 10999 according to some

  23. The Tinkerman
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    GW32 then.... Assuming City win,

    Triple City, triple Chelsea nailed on

    Maybe triple United.

    Jiminez and maybe Doherty also.

    Southampton a potential filler team for one final spot. Palace an outside bet if they double with that HUD fixture. Not a lot else...

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Agree

  24. fr3d

    Sane close

    Why/why not?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 11 Years

      I'll tell you when we know the fixtures.

    2. 'Broadsword Calling Da…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Good question to ask and debate, just thinking the same option. First instinct is that, you'd lose out on Liverpool assets and Man U blank week after, but i have only barely scratched the surface. I think the consensus for the near term is to find out who's actually playing first, and then debate from there..makes sense.

  27. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Imagine being a Huddersfield fan and being so close to seeing them win for the fourth(!) time this season.

  28. The Tinkerman
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hoping for a Milwall win tomorrow to maximise the DGWs in GW35.

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Nope
      We need triple dgw's for Brighton 😉

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        3 dgw's*

      2. The Tinkerman
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        No way am I holding triple Brighton for a DGW after WC. Who would you even get? Attackers rotate too much.

        I'd rather have more choice for WC looking at BB35.

  29. tricpic
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    12 from 7, utter waste of Free Hit.
    Need Mo to save this GW.
    Maddison on bench, anyone else now hoping those mane rumours are true?
