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.

    I was 8 points off my ML rival. 30 off the lead. I wanted to go big.

    I did Semenyo -> Cherki
    I put moved TC from Haaland -> Cherki last minute.

    I lost 30 points on them this week.

      Always the risk but you had to take it. big chance it would go badly going against the player with the highest ceiling in the game

        Wise words!

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      (Given the fact it was for Marmoush)

  4. Drop Dead Tsimikas

    The tiniest of greens for me, then, on 91(-8). Could really do with a Doku contribution here.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Safety scores 82?

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas

    Of course Cherki assist

  14. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    I'll take that Cherki assist (and it's worth 10 in Challenge, as well).

  15. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

  18. Scapegoat Salah

  19. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Cherki A, still two games to go vs Semenyo.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Sem nailed unfortunately

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        He started in B-team today.

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          As did Donna, Guehi, Nunes, Bilva etc

        2. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

    I'm really surprised Carrick rotated last match.
    Bruno going for the record, I bet he's fuming. 2 matches to go, is he even going to equal the record? Not a certainty. Home to forest, good defensively, and then away to Brighton, not easy

    Haaland benching has probably cost me my chance of winning mini league.

    Thanks Pep

    1. rrcmc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Lols. Yup. Same boat here. Been chasing hard and had my TC up my sleeve - Any pt for Haaland tonight was a point up against the mini league leader!

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Same 🙁

  22. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    What might have been if Cherki got 60 plus

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      What might have been for Haaland, bet he’s fuming!

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      He got 55+ in last match

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Against a strong Everton side not this limp lot

  23. Effe
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

  24. WVA
    • 9 Years

    • 12 Years

  26. Scapegoat Salah

  27. WVA
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    I might get a red arrow this game week having played my triple captain on Haaland, being outscored by mini league rivals who haven’t even played their triple captain FFS
