Pep Guardiola has rung the changes for the final match of Double Gameweek 30+, which kicks off at the Etihad at 20:00 BST.

Burnley are the visitors to Eastlands, where Manchester City defeated Arsenal five days ago.

There are only three surviving members of Guardiola’s starting XI from that 3-0 win over the Gunners, with Ederson (£6.0m), David Silva (£7.3m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) keeping their places.

That means that Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) are both rotated out of the side, with the two premium Fantasy Premier League midfielders only among the substitutes.

Sergio Aguero (£11.8m) gets his chance up front, meanwhile, with Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m) making way.

Aymeric Laporte (£6.3m), Kyle Walker (£5.6m), Benjamin Mendy (£5.5m), Ilkay Gundogan (£5.2m) and Eric Garcia (£4.5m) are the other City starters from midweek who drop out of the City line-up, with all bar the concussed Garcia on the bench.

Guardiola has changed his entire back four, with Joao Cancelo (£5.1m), Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.2m), Fernandinho (£5.1m) and Nicolas Otamendi (£4.9m) tasked with keeping Burnley at bay.

Phil Foden (£5.1m), Bernardo Silva (£7.7m) and Rodri (£5.5m) are also recalled further forward.

Sean Dyche’s side are missing the sidelined Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes (both £6.1m), so Matej Vydra (£5.3m) and Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m) are paired together in attack for the visitors.

Josh Brownhill (£4.8m) makes his first Premier League start, while Matthew Lowton (£4.2m) returns from an enforced lay-off at right-back.

Not only are Burnley hit by injury, they are also without four players whose contracts are due to expire at the end of the month: Joe Hart (£4.2m), Jeff Hendrick (£5.4m), Aaron Lennon (£4.6m) and Phil Bardsley (£4.3m) are not even among the substitutes as doubts linger over their futures.

Four academy products make it onto Dyche’s under-strength bench as a result, with two goalkeepers among the seven substitutes that the Burnley boss has named.

De Bruyne is the most-captained player of Double Gameweek 30+ both overall and within the top 10k.

Over half of the managers inside the top 10,000 handed the armband to the Belgian.

Aguero was captained by 26.74% of those elite managers, meanwhile.


Manchester City XI: Ederson, Cancelo, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Zinchenko, Rodrigo, D Silva, Foden, Bernardo, Mahrez, Aguero.

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Brownhill, Westwood, Cork, McNeil, Rodriguez, Vydra.

    Currently got Soyuncu 4.9 in my wc draf team but I've not seem him mentioned by others, am I missing something ?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. Good price, good fixtures, good team.

    2. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Justin at 4.7m the desirable.

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, Attacking threat elsewhere. More clean sheets elsewhere. Better fixtures elsewhere

    4. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      They don't keep many cleansheets.

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Only 2 clean sheets in 15 games puts me off

        ouch I hadnt realised, surprised tbh

    Which would you prefer on a WC? Thanks

    A) Pope, Martial & Greenwood
    B) Martinez, Rashford & Guenduizi

    1. FPL_Devil
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

  3. HNI
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I have seen veey few Vardys in WC/RMT picks. Arent they completely in for top 4 fight with draw vs watford? Plus Vardy has great record vs next 3 Bha eve ars and is nailed 100% as well

    1. HNI

        See my post on last page. Lol

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I've got him. Bit disappointed he blanked but am keeping the faith.

    3. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’ve considered, but Rashford Kane Jimenez is too strong to find space for Vardy.

    4. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I've got him too.

  4. Bruce Lee
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I'm not trying to be funny or anything but I saw the link up when they shake hands, and I actually thought Zinc was KDB

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thats how Pep has been getting by with a stretched squad. Half the time he only plays with ten men but KDB covers two positions.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He's always looked like Kev's younger brother.

  5. TheTinman

    Berbinho I gave you a more detailed response on Ritchie.

    Ginkapo, Andy Social - lighten up fellas.

  9. Davido989

    Non Aguero owners, we've survived the first 2 minutes. Small steps!

    1. Amey

      Thanks

      I'm terryfied watching this without him

  10. HNI
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Just saw Burnley lineup! What the fk is that! Have they got players injured inspite of 3month rest or they given up this season already?!

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Read the article

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        No one reads those pre match articles

        1. HNI
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Oh my apologies..I mostly focus on stats and fixtures articles. Thanks!

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Fair point. I read 'em though

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Both their strikers are crocked.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      5 players out of contract on June 30th so as no new contract agreed they are not playing. Hart and Bardsley may have even left the club.

  11. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Flipping heck!! The Etihad is louder than usual, they been giving away cheap tickets?!

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Turned the dial up to 11.

    2. FPL_Devil
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The Etihad is the only stadium which has a better atmosphere with fake crowd noise

  12. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    As an Aguero owner but non capper. Do I want points ?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You do.

  13. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Keep it tight Burnleybois

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    KDB needed here.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, Pep has had his little joke. 5 minutes without KDB is enough.

  15. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Fairly template. Have plenty of other options I'm considering -- e.g. Sarr, Martial, Rash, Tammy, AWB -- but this is the current WC draft. How's is look?

    Pope
    TAA, Doherty, Saiss, Lascelles
    Salah, KDB, Son, Bruno
    DCL, Jimenez
    (Martin; Holgate, Saka, Nketiah)

  16. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Trying to squeeze vardy into wc, A worth it over B?

    A) vardy boly holgate (+0.5itb)
    B) rashford Doherty kiko (0.0itb)

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No

      Lowton over Kiko

  17. Shakshuka
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Any idea who's on pens now for everton?

    1. FPL_DON
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      holgate hopefully 😉

      1. Shakshuka
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        hah, i'd take that!

  18. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    No goals before KDB and Sterling Will be subbed in

  19. FPL_DON
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Haven't posted any WC drafts, my first (and hopefully last) RMT! Any thoughts would be hugely appreciated. 0.2m itb

    De Gea (fodder)
    TAA Doherty Aurier (Lascelles Holgate)
    Son KDB Fernandes Mane (Guendozi)
    Jiminez DCL Rashford

  20. HNI
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who to get from Mane and Salah?
    Although Mane played full 90 so is rotation risk, wont Salah be little rusty? Probably will do Son C but still. Currently on Mane as he will be sharp

    1. Manani
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      will be coin flip, but Salah may do pens, so him

    2. Shakshuka
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe neither...

    3. FPL_DON
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mane was recommended on scoutcast and i agree

  21. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Didn’t think KDB was playing but keep seeing him over on the left wing!

  22. Manani
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    remaining 2 attackers for WC
    Ings + Saka
    or
    Nekitah + Sarr

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ings + Saka for me

  23. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Very slow start by Man City.

  24. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Man I really hate Pep. That bench is stronger than all their counterparts on the field imo other than GK.

    What’s he playing at? From a very disgruntled KDB Laporte owner. At least Kun starts

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn’t need Laporte again that Burnley line up

  25. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    City absolutely useless without kdb so far

    1. Karhumies
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      MCity lost to Norwich when KDB didn't start.

  26. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A) Patricio + Taylor
    B) Pope + Saiss

    Saiss and Taylor both times would be 5th best defender. Other defenders are VVD, TAA, Doherty, Maguire

  27. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Foden limping around. KDB time already?

  28. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lol agueros been watching too much kane

  29. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero coming deep to get the ball, City missing KDB's creativity

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Foden, Mahrez, Zinchenko, Cancelo don't move the ball quickly enough. That is why there is a lot of sideways passing

  30. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Any chance KDB will come in as a sub today
