The final pieces of this season’s ‘Pep Roulette’ puzzle are falling into place thanks to Manchester City’s latest line-up.

The Citizens boss has left Riyad Mahrez (£8.6m) and David Silva (£7.4m) on the bench for the Gameweek 37+ trip to Watford, heightening their chances of a Gameweek 38+ outing against Norwich.

For now, owners of the other big names will be much happier with the Tuesday evening team sheet.

It features Raheem Sterling (£11.9m) and Bernardo Silva (£7.6m) either side of Gabriel Jesus (£9.9m) in the front-three, consigning Phil Foden (£5.5m) to a central midfield role.

The Englishman is joined there by Kevin De Bruyne (£10.7m) and Rodrigo (£5.3m).

Joao Cancelo (£5.1m) and Kyle Walker (£5.6m) are the full-backs with Aymeric Laporte (£6.3m) and Eric Garcia (£4.5m) handed the centre-back berths.

There is next to no remaining Fantasy interest in the Watford side, with the possible exception of ever-present goalkeeper Ben Foster (£4.9m) or Kiko Femenía (£4.2m) who is, tonight, deployed at left-back.

In their first match without recently sacked manager Nigel Pearson, the Hornets have gone with a 4-3-3 shape featuring Roberto Pereyra (£5.6m) and Ismaïla Sarr (£5.9m) either side of Troy Deeney (£6.2m).

Watford XI: Foster; Femenía, Dawson, Kabasele, Mariappa; Hughes, Doucouré, Cleverley; Pereyra, Deeney, Sarr.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Cancelo, Laporte, Garcia, Walker; De Bruyne, Rodrigo, Foden; B Silva, Jesus, Sterling.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I beg

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Him not taking the penalty means Sterling is going for the golden boot

  3. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Which assist was ruined for the penalty?

    1. Amey

    2. The_Fish

        • 16 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        So if KDB took it would have been better for us owners of KDB and Sterling combo. Thanks lads

    4. The Train Driver

      Sterling's own. However, if he had scored before that would have been Foden assist.

      1. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Umm, nope?

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Raz... imagine if he had scored... missed 3 points for the assist, 2 for the penalty and possible baps as well. Owners robbed

    The last time Sterling scored a brace and also missed a penalty, City were leading 2-0 and went on to lose 2-3.

      • 11 Years

  21. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    3 digit rank possible now if Salah hauls and United assets don't(apart from Greenwood). 20 Points difference.

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I'm on 20 points lol

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Always thought this was misleading because its a moving target, no?

  22. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    A team that treated Pearson the way they did deserves to go down.
    I want Watford to go down.

  23. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Gabriel Jesus needs at least 1.0xG to score a single goal. What a useless turd...

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      **2.0 omg..

  24. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    WTF Jesus. You're pathetic!

  25. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus would get exposed if he played for Watford.

    • 10 Years
