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.

  7. LosBlancos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    If City lose, they will have dgw 32 or dgw 35?

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      35

      1. LosBlancos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Odd

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          35 is odd, 32 is even.

          1. LosBlancos
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

    2. LSK
      • 8 Years

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

    It's not even a weak line-up.

  12. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    City always like to lose in style in the FA Cup

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

    So, who already activated FH then?

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

      Not me. Smarter than that

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

    George RR Martin couldn’t make this up

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years

    Should I be happy being that I played my free hit this week and City are losing?

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

      No FH looks a waste this week

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Put King, Ahearne Grant, Robson, Ogbonna and Ake in with it though?

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years

    2. Ramboros
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It just makes WC GW32 FH GW33 more valuable.

    3. Party time
      7 years, 5 months ago

      No. You shouldn't!

  19. THE Wild Rover
