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.

    This here is a mastercase on how Pope racks up those save points.

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

      By catching all the back passes from city and missing the one half decent shot?

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

    Son to Alli if he enables me Saiss >Doherty?

    1. Cak Juris
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Difficult choice, but yes....

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

      WC ?
      if no then it's sideways to use 2 Fts on that

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

        WC yes. Forgot to mention that it would also include converting Salah to Mane

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

          I don't like Alli tbh
          Would rather get Bergwin or Pulisic or Martial in that bracket

    3. FPL Diet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

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

      No.

      Find the money for Doherty and Son.

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

        Other option is Rashford > Ings, but im not so sold on that

  3. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Doesn’t help that Kun is playing with half the reserves tonight

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

      All the ones that love a long range shot 🙁

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

      It is not the reserves that it is the issue. It is the desire. They look like they are saving themselves for Chelsea. But they ain't going to force themselves into the team for Chelsea playing like this.

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

    Is Aurier nailed?

    1. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Like Spartacus’s army

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

      Tanganga injury helps but Jose could do anything. Aurier could too.

    3. Cak Juris
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, mourinho said it... no competitor...

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

      Mourinho: "The only position where we don't have [competition] is right-back because we have only Serge [Aurier] and nobody else. The other options, Tanganga and Foyth, they are both out."

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Should be
      He's in my wc team

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

      Unless he gets sent off again!

    7. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      With current injuries yes.

  5. T.Henry14
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    WC team, first try:

    Pope, Martinez
    TAA, Lascelles, Saiss, Stevens, Aurier
    Mane, KDB, Bruno, Bergwijn, Cantwell
    Vardy, Jimenez, Ings

    0.6 itb

    1. T.Henry14
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      . itb, sorry

      1. T.Henry14
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        0.1*

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

      Needs Doherty

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

      I dig it, very similar to my current one tbh. I have 3.9 over Martinez (Pope set and forget), Doherty over Saiss, Ward over Stevens, Saka over Cantwell Rashford over Vardy (but unsure) and DCL over Ings

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

      And 0.9 ITB

    5. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy to rash

      Berg to son

      Stevens to Fernandez

      Cant to Saka

      Those would be my changes but it’s only an opinion.

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Consider doherty also

        Him and taa were my 2 first picks

  6. HollywoodXI
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I used FH to get triple City. My original team has smashed my FH team unless captain Aguero and Mahrez score big. Any time you like lads...

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

      Surely you know by now. Wasting your FH chip is a classic FFS move. Makes you a pro on here.

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

      Now?

  7. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Probably the last few minutes of me ever owning Aguero.

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I was just thinking that too.

      It's been... eventful.

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

    Zinchenko is a opportunity killer, should be playing for low team

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