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.

    Raheem and Kun will come on and fix this. But damn that City lineup is probably worth 1000% more than Swanseas.

  13. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    do any games get rearranged depending on city's score?

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

      City would play in 33 and only have 1 game in 32.

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        if city win or lose?

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

          lose

        2. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          City loss

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

        Okay, not bad ... bringing in Sterling for Anderson will feel great!

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

          GW33 it is

  14. Tsparkes10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Surely not one of those games

  15. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Well this puts a spanner in the GW32 works

  16. Niho992
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    If City lose are you going to use FH next GW?

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

      Probably won't use a chip.

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

        Hmm I ditched Wolves already, still have Pogba but no Rashford...

      2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Have sterling and kun on the bench?

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

      I'll wait for one of the clever people to say what the best option is

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Would wait for fixtures rather than activating straight away.

      If there are still some decent games the double players will be less commonly owned.

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      No but I have 0 city and want kun and sterling for Fulham only.Will wc if they lose

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

      Will take few hits probably

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    jesus down

  18. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Whatever the result it's great for the fa cup to have a game like this.

  19. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Why WC32 all of a sudden? Man city loses doesnt change anything. Am I missing something?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes you are

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

      City would play in 33.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      If Man City lose today, they play GW33.

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

      Most would build wk 32freehit team around 3 city players with two great looking games. Doesn’t really seem worth it otherwise.

    5. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I, see. But could just take a hit in 33, you can still FH city players/other DGWers in 32?

  20. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    This is turning out to be a cracking game.

  21. Party time
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I was just about to activate the free hit chip before I heard the commentator screaming "Swansea 2 nil up"

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

    This is freakish stuff, City missing sitters.

    Fabulous goal by Swansea. One of those games?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      looks like it.

  23. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    This is awful for FH32'ers. We want as much carnage in GW33 as possible.

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

      Yea total bs

  24. Avo24
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I am a united fans and it feels weird to pray for city win.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I have a FH planned, but I'm still hoping City lose.

  25. Niho992
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Even when is the game of fa cup Fraudiola find the way to screw me on fantasy

  26. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Even if City have only one game in GW32, I still want to bring in Sterling against Fulham

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

      I'm going to triple up on attack 😉
      Differential as they say

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      This.

    3. Niho992
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Mane to Sterling...

    4. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      This

  27. onceuponatyne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Right then folks, I should know this...

    Gonna use FH later.
    My weekly transfer won't be carried on yeah?
    So I might as well use that first, for value/33 positioning, then FH??

    Thoughts?

  28. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    If city lose I think il still FH in 32. Then WC in 33, just can’t get 15 BB for 35

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      just take a hit to get city players, why waste WC when you already planned for 33? make no sense to me

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Good idea

  29. Rash
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Who'd have thought fanny would be my top points scorer so far.

  30. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    If City lose this one then everything changes for GW33.

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

      Nah, not for me.
      But I still want them to win.
      At 2:2 it goes to a rematch, ET or pens?

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

        ET
