Guardiola rotation hits new unpredictable levels as Carson replaces Ederson

Pep Guardiola has found new levels of unpredictable rotation in his Blank Gameweek 36 team sheet.

Even Ederson (£6.1m) has lost his place this week, with Scott Carson (£ rewarded for his off-the-field service with a first Premier League start in 10 years.

Ruben Dias (£6.0m), John Stones (£5.1m) and Aymeric Laporte (£6.0m) all miss out too with João Cancelo (£5.8m), Nathan Aké (£5.4m), Eric Garcia (£4.7m) and Kyle Walker (£6.1m) named in the back-four.

Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) and Sergio Aguero (£10.3m) are “not fully fit” for the game, according to a Manchester City press release so Ilkay Gündogan (£5.6m), Rodrigo (£5.3m) and Bernardo Silva (£7.4m) are the central midfield trio behind Raheem Sterling (£11.0m), Gabriel Jesus (£9.1m) and Ferran Torres (£6.9m).

Despite recent Premier League rests, Riyad Mahrez (£8.0m) and Phil Foden (£6.0m) still do not start, each of them named on the bench for the Friday-night trip to Newcastle.

The Magpies are in 5-3-2 shape this evening featuring Joelinton (£5.7m) up-front alongside Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.1m) while Callum Wilson (£6.5m) sits out the remaining matches of the season.

Blank Gameweek 36 Line-ups

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka; Ritchie, Dummett, Fernández, Krafth, Murphy; Almirón, Shelvey, Willock; Joelinton, Saint-Maximin.

Manchester City XI: Carson; Cancelo, Ake, Garcia, Walker; Gündogan, Rodrigo, B Silva; Sterling, Jesus, Torres.

          he is focused on his 4 kids lately

      Can you imagine the Newcastle team talk... They disrespect you so much that they’re playing Scott Carson in goal.

      Team talk sorted.

        2 years, 11 months ago

        Newcastle play Joe Linton every week - that’s pretty disrespectful to the opposition too

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years

          true 😀

      Ederson coming on at half time?

      1. BeWater

        He's at home.

        What has Carson done wrong?

    • g40steve

      Nearly 2-0

      Voldemort with a deadly strike.

      Sterling has been pants

        I need him to be Foden

        Since this season started largely.

        Ask Lateriser...

    • Mweene
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Why are people getting Man City players? Surely they are the 1 team to avoid. No sympathy for anyone to who got Mahrez, Foden etc

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        The theory goes that if you pick the ones that start against weak opposition you could get a mega differential haul

        In practice however…

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Indeed.

        And Manchester United now too.

      3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Still the best team in the game I guess with highest celing

      4. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Someone’s good at reading the room

      5. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        They need to practice for CL final.

      6. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Anyone ask for sympathy. This game is about choices. City players are handy differentials. Everyone understands the risks.

      7. Rassi
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Some are probably gambling because of very high upside.

      8. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Well there goes my rooting for you to get back into the top 100 then!

      9. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        High upside because of chasing and the fact it made logical sense Pep would at least have to pick his best team in 2 of the remaining 3 fixtures to keep up performance levels going into the CL final.

      10. Eh, just one more thing ...
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I only have sympathy for Ederson owners really .... that was completely left field ..... nothing to do with the fact I’m an Ederson owner of course ...

        So replacing one of the best attacking players last 5 seasons with a player Who cant cope with the intensity of the Pl. There is a reason he never goes to England, he is mot suited. Also injury prone. Every time i walk in this site when City plays Sterling gets this sort of criticism. The level of football knowledge sometimes just amazez me.

    • Hazz
