It’s the final match of Double Gameweek 36 as Manchester City face Crystal Palace.

Kick-off at the Etihad is at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Pep Guardiola hinted that he would rotate tonight – and he hasn’t disappointed. Or rather, he has disappointed a lot of Fantasy managers.

The City boss has made six changes to the side that beat Brentford on Saturday.

Well-owned FPL picks Erling Haaland, Rayan Cherki and Jeremy Doku are among the players dropping to the bench.

Nathan Ake and Tijjani Reijnders also move down to substitute duty, while Nico O’Reilly isn’t even in the squad.

Omar Marmoush, Phil Foden, Savinho, Abdukodir Khusanov and Rayan Ait-Nouri all come into the side.

And, for the first time since early January, so too does Josko Gvardiol.

Rodri is still on the sidelines.

Oliver Glasner has also tinkered, making four changes from the draw with Everton.

Jean Philippe-Mateta, Yeremy Pino, Will Hughes and Jefferson Lerma all return to the starting XI.

Jorgen Strand Larsen, Ismaila Sarr, Daichi Kamada and Adam Wharton drop to the bench.

LINE-UPS

Manchester City XI: Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, Gvardiol, Ait-Nouri, Silva, Foden, Semenyo, Savinho, Marmoush.

Subs: Trafford, Dias, Stones, Aké, Reijnders, Kovačić, Cherki, Haaland, Doku.

Crystal Palace XI: Henderson, Munoz, Lacroix, Richards, Canvot, Mitchell, Lerma, Pino, Hughes, Johnson, Mateta.

Subs: Benítez, Clyne, Riad, Kamada, Wharton, Devenny, Cardines, Sarr, Strand Larsen.

      In the stands?

      Surely he's safe on the bench

      Even in Manchester

    Might go down to final day, Palace vs Arsenal will be a cracker especially if at Selhurst park!

    1. Imagine Palace holding Arsenal to a draw on the final day. Wow.

      It will be horrible, lots of Arsenal tourists in our end. Really hope its settled before our game, we need to rest our players with only 3 days to the EUFA Conference final

    Nearly 3

  10. To think I almost sold Guehi to O’Reilly and Semenyo to Cherki for a hit.

    Instead, bought Henderson for a hit 😆

    Nearly Foden hat trick

    1. Scapegoat Salah

      I was *this* close to buying Foden and TC him

      But then realised it wasn't 2024 anymore

    No points tonight then.

    Cannot see Haaland & Cherki risked.

    1. I wouldn’t worry about this……because I own Semenyoooooooo!

    I kept semenyo,into top 100k no hits and lots of patience,might be how to play nowadays,years of 50 hits and crap ranking consigned to history

    1. same. Patience has rewarded this season (every season?). Only a gamble and go all out on DGW33 was worth it.

    I don’t get that Semenyo thing, he was a clear sell…

    1. Wasn’t worth a sideways -4

        For free

        1. I’d have probably done it for free.

          Funny that a game heavily based on luck, comes down to luck.

    Negative points from 5 players tonight is going to be something special

    Good thing about thing is it's okay to keep Arsenal & Man City for now.

    Gvardiol comes back when the City CB's are solid so NOR is essential to sub optimal
