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.

    Would’ve been Mahrez! 🙁

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yep, but we had him so never was gonna happen

  2. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Wowzers....goals galore for this gameweek incoming

  3. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    The pen save points are redic, this mug hasn’t stopped anything, gives up an easy rebound for the 3rd goal and he’s on for 8 freaking points

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Carson hasn't done anything different to Ederson. Other than save the pen.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      The points are fine, the BPS is the issue.

  4. Steve McCroskey
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Is it a Cancelo assist if it comes off the post?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I guess it is

      1. Steve McCroskey
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        My ML rival has him. Game over if so

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Game over

  5. ZimZalabim
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    what is this game

  6. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Guess Mahrez isn't coming on then...

    Several on here suggested Torres was a safer pick through the week. Should have listened

  7. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Not sure Cancelo gets an assist for that. It wasn’t saved.

    1. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes he would

  8. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Mahrez (c) Salah (vc) here 🙁

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      he could stay on the bench now. so you might be ok 🙂

      1. DAZZ
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Hope so!! Salah is a good captaincy option

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    We need a 2nd leg of this game!

  10. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Imagine if Mahrez started lol easy double digits

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Or he would've been MIA like in many games.

      1. JJeyy
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Don’t own him but he’s easily score against these lot

  11. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Torres over Mahrez was the shrewd move for the brave

  12. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    There's going to be an FPL player with 42 syllables in their name, hailing from the armpit of nowhere...with the TC on Torres.

  13. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    So unlucky as an ASM owner, differential too 🙁

    1. Will Kane
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah you would have thought with Newcastle managing 7 goals v Leicester and City he might have been involved in at least one! 🙁

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Had him for Leicester and city. Done nothing. Incredible really. Will never get one of our players again!
