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.

    When Arsenal lose to Burnley, will that be the biggest bottle job in history?

      One of many for the wax doll from Alicante

      I recall Dortmund bottling the Bundesliga big time on the final day a few seasons back. Bare with me I'll find the circumstances but I remember they failed to win and missed a pen in the game

      1. Sir Michael Taker

        1 hour, 14 mins ago

        Drew a game with Mainz 2-2 who everyone thought were on the beach in mid-table. Sebastian Haller of West Ham mega money flop fame missed a pen that would have won them the league. Bayern snuck in on the final day.... obviously

    I wonder if managers know the fpl rules and just deliberately make pre 60th minute subs to annoy people lol

  11. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    1 hour, 52 mins ago

    Semenyo still on!

  12. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        1 hour, 26 mins ago

        1. BeaversWithAttitude
          • 7 Years

          Makes no difference.

            If you get subbed after 30 seconds you haven’t gone off on the 0th minute lol

    My ML rival that has Doku and only 1 CP probably beats my TC this week. I would've scored 15pts more with a BB including a 0

  14. Cheeky Reijnders

    2 BPs for Seme and CS for Donna would do nicely. Not being greedy.

      -4 to rejig Semenyo to O’Reilly while holding onto Cherki Asha’s backfired spectacularly on me this week, as it was bound to have done!
