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 use my transfer before I activate my FH, will I keep the player that I have transferred in prior?

    Or do I get the opportunity to do this prior to the next game week? As in reverts back to original team and I can use the transfer.

    Thank you

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

    2. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Yep its all purely Mahrez top analysis Milhouse

    Ederson
    Luiz - Lindelof - Bednarek
    Sterling - Hazard - Pogba - Deulofeu
    Aguero - Higuain - Rashford

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      No City double currently, 3 sells straight away

    2. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      If Southampton play two games I would pick Valery.

    3. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      I'm going for double chelsea def i think, rather than Hig.

    if MCI win, will they be playing a DGW in GW 32? I'm sure I read that somewhere..... I'm confused.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      If City win, yes.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      crikey, I didn't know this. Is this 100%? I'm going to FH but I thought only Wolves & Man Utd were the DGW teams. :-/

        A lot of this gameweek might come down to Salah(c) vs Mane (c).
