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.

    What need to happen to Chelsea have DGW 32?

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

      It's happened already 🙂
      Now it's in PL's hands to declare the fixture

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      It's guaranteed.

    mahrez subbed, pathetic performance

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Was Sane injured, to come off earlier?

      • Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        He might be sold - they already have 3 other class wingers

    2. Team Cruel

      Kun on, DGWs saved!

    3. HD7

      Okay Titanic is going down...

      what are the best tactica to still optimise the chips?

      WC32 FH33 BB35?

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Depends what shape your team is in...

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Game's not finished yet

      3. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        If it stays as it is
        Yes

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      30 minutes to score at least 3 unanswered goals against Swansea. Easily doable.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        i'd settle for 2 and then pens

      2. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Odds are 5/1.

        7/4 for city to do it after ET, which is actually kinda tempting.

      3. Speédy
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        2 and extra time works too

    5. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      I think we can be sure about one thing. Jesus ain't keeping Kun out this season.

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

        🙂

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Passed eye test 😉

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

        He's bloody fast 😮

    7. RAFA THE GAFFA

      Still got all my chips, if City get beat do I:

      A. Rage quit
      B. Rage quit
      C. Rage quit

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        D 😉

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 15 days ago

          Rage quit and then kick the dog? Harsh

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

        Get drunk
        Activate WC
        Do some drunk transfer's
        😀

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years

      • 7 Years

      Really not sure what to do now. May stick to same but bring in Sterling or Aguero for 33 and TC

    10. Flynny
      • 11 Years

      Hi....if city lose this, what will the strategy be for those with all chips remaining??

      Thanks

      1. Ginkapo FPL

        7 years, 15 days ago

        nothing changes... only that 1 gw won't have city dgw which means more money for others

        and 33 they will play- so bring in or hold them

      3. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Many variations.

        Timing

    16. Baked baines
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 15 days ago

      Man City lose this game and it’s completely changes the FH next GW.
      Would be a waste as I’ve sold Aguero.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 15 days ago

        Why a waste? Still prefer City's fixture to Pools and Chelsea/United dgw?

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
