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.

    A) Patricio, Justin, Robertson, Mahrez, Cantwell

    B) Foster, Masina, Holgate, Mané, Guendouzi

    Has to be A right?

    Silva wasting KDB assist

  4. Brosstan

    Bernardo wasting KDB assist

  5. Davido989

    Jesus makes Drmic look world class

    1. MITHRRANDIRR
      • 13 Years

      He's so bad.

  6. KGFC

    6 years, 1 month ago

    City is just wasting time... Get the ball to KDB!!!

  7. how now brown cow

    Burnley with attacking injuries, and the 4 players going out of contract is a worry when it comes to picking Pope.

    Reckon they pick themselves up?

    1. An Púca
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm thinking the same about Pope. Got him in last night on a wildcard. Getting rid of him now

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        who for though?

        1. Zenith UK
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Patricio!

    2. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Considering taking him out on my WC now

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

    KDB DGW fail all things considered.

    1. Lev Yashin
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Considering you could have had Kun or Sterling as Captain

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah. Foden TC was the obvious way to go.

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

      Not really. Better than aguero, a bit worse than Mahrez and nobody was talking about Foden

  9. Ed
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on the below WC?

    De Gea Button
    Aurier TAA Lascelles Taylor Boly
    Mane Son KDB Fernandes Saka
    DCL Jiminez Jota

    1. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think Jimi and Jota upfront is too much. I think you be better going Jota to Nketiah and Boly to Doherty if that works prize wise.

  10. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Another reason to hate mondays...

  11. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this WC template:

    Pope (Button)

    TAA, Doherty, Ritchie, (Taylor, Robinson)
    KDB, Mane, Barnes, Bruno, Son
    Jimenez, DCL (Nketiah)

    0.1 ITB.

  12. Mike82
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pick 1 of;
    Ings
    DCL
    Vardy

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy

  13. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Team for GW31+...back from a FH disaster GW...

    Pope (Hendo)
    TAA Lascelles Taylor Saiss (Egan)
    Mane Salah KDB (Saka Dendoncker)
    Jimi(c) Vardy Ings
    0.6m ITB

    A Save FT ?
    B Vardy to Rashford
    C Mane to Fernandes
    D Salah to Fernandes
    E Ings to DCL

  14. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    De Gea over Pope, considering I have Taylor, or keep the 0.4 for future?

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

      Think Utd have a lot cs incoming. I'm getting on it

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

    Burnley should be embarrassed

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The embarrassment of a 5-0 hammering and then knowing you've got to face a Dyche rollicking when they get off the pitch.

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

    Anyone who didnt cap Foden has had a DGW fail...

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

    Is there any talk of Arsenal signing a GK on an emergency loan?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Joe Hart

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Joe Hart on a free would be fun

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Should have been granted an emergency CB loan after Luiz performance.

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

      David Seaman?

    5. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Joe Hart...

  18. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    RMFHT

    Alisson
    Doherty - Maguire - Ritchie
    Mane - KDB - Son - Fernandes - Richarlison

    Can get TAA + DDG + Saiss for Doherty + Alisson + Ritchie

    Thoughts please? Really undecided. 🙁

    1. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I have got the same team with Sais in for Maguire
      Pope + Button combo
      Mahrez in for Mane.
      No Pool
      Ings, Holgate 1st and 2nd sub, 3.9 def last spot.

    2. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Think you need a couple of strikers in there. I suggest Jimenez + DCL

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Lol

        Those are the two in there

  20. dbeck

    Egan suspended one or two games?

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

      1.

    2. Albert_Luque
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Tbh, would just avoid Shef as they didn’t look good the past few games

    3. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      One

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      FPL site says one.

  21. Albert_Luque
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Final WC draft, think it’s as good as it can be now (hopefully)

    McCarthy-Button
    TAA-Doherty-McGuire-Lascelles-Holgate
    Salah-KDB-Son-Bruno-Sarr
    Jim-DCL-Greenwood

  22. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ederson has literally done nothing except knockout Garcia for the last two games and has scored 12 points.

    1. Lev Yashin
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I call that a job well done

    2. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hendo even with conceding 3 goals has outscored him 😛

    3. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      And completed more passes than the entire Burnley squad

  23. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero & Nketiah > Jiminez & Ings (-4)

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

      1. Zenith UK

    Thoughts on WC?

    DDG Martin
    TAA Doh Lascelles Holgate Kiko
    Salah KDB Son Fernandes Douzi
    DCL Rash Jimi

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

    Ederson with zero saves over the Double Gameweek - the easiest 12 points ever

  29. Clucas

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nope, best to use it now imo

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 13 Years

  30. Big Mac 24
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else surprised with the TEN clean sheets out of a possible 24 in this opening round of closed door post extended break fixtures?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. They are basically preseason games
