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.

    4+ players joint on 2 BAPS lol

    Chasing 80 in ML took TC on Nico... always next year...

    4 players tied on 2 baps. Bet it doesn’t stay that way.

    No idea how Sem is on 2 baps the amount of times he lost the ball

    Glad I swerved Palace players

      Yep, I tried to advice this. Especially with this gameweek. 3 games in 7 days with our small squad was always going to be a stretch. Hopefully we play our great Premiership Cup winning u18s v Arsenal last game of season 🙂

      1. Funkyav
        • 17 Years

        the defence wasnt rotated. But could have done with a clean on one game really to make it worthwhile

      I’m happy enough with my Sarr 8 pointer. Lacroix 4 pointer less enjoyable

  6. wowo

    Triple Cry defs and Tc Haarland against Leeds 2pointer and this Dwg. Seasons finished.

  7. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years

    Thiago for Welbeck will be the move for the weekend so

  8. DALEDOBACK

    Bit of a weird FPL night. Haaland O'Reilly Cherki Lacroix Munoz Henderson owner (don't ask)

    9 points from the lot tonight, no chip active.

    Around the 6k mark, I honestly have no idea if I'll drop or gain after that.

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

      No Sem will kill you

    2. bitm2007

      Drop probably. 5 points from 6 here. Dropped from 7k to 10k.

      1. DALEDOBACK
        • 6 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Oh dear

  9. Twisted Saltergater

    Double Arsenal defence vs Burnley or get Gyokeres?

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I think this really depends on your rank goals

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

        Most points lol. I was 7k in GW29 but it’s been downhill ever since and I’m now just inside 100k.

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          I mean, if I was in top10k I’d just buy Saliba

          But because I’m chasing and trying to break into the top100k, I am thinking to captain Gyokeres if I get him

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

            I might go Eze with the Palace game in mind also.

    Pep stitching up Haaland triple cappers. Cheers Pep! 🙁

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

    Donnaruma up to 27baps

  12. DeSelby
    • 3 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

  13. Eightball
    • 5 Years

    Done with this season. Roll on the next one.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years

      Behind the eight ball

  14. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Munoz to gabriel no brainer?

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

      yup

      1. Stranger Mings

        Cool will do it on friday

    2. NZREDS

        Cheers

  15. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years

    Is Richarlison a good Pick for last two GWS ?
    YAAY
    Nope

  16. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Have Gab & Saka, who would you go as 3rd attacker?

    A Saliba
    B Gyokeres (slender ML lead, block rival)

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I have the same two and edging towards A but that's mainly because I have 2ft's and I want to replace Welbeck with either Thiago or Beto

  17. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    1FT 2.9m ITB

    Raya
    O'Reilly Gabriel Van Hecke
    Cherki Eze Bruno Hinshelwood
    Haaland Welbeck DCL

    Henderson- Munoz Rogers Lacroix

    Eze to Saka or DCL to Thiago?

  18. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Probably impossible to chase 30 points?
    Would you rather go KDH or Szobo while trying it?

    1. I have no Wirtz
        1 month, 15 days ago

        You got two gameweeks. 30 points still possible. Don’t give up.

      • Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        30 points is easily doable.

        Really tough between KDH and Szoboszlai, probably Szoboszlai

      • Atimis
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Cheers guys!

    2. I have no Wirtz
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Who should make space:

        A)DCL->Gyokeres
        B)Thiago->Gyokeres
        C)Haaland->Gyokeres

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Still A makes most sense on paper…

      • Cheeky Reijnders
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        94pts, 16K OR. Best ever at the end of a GW for me, so far. Happy days. Onwards........GL all.

        1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
          • 7 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Good work

      • No Professionals
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Verbruggen
        Gabriel O’Reilly Senesi
        Saka Bruno Semenyo Gross
        Haaland Welbeck DCL

        Darlow Hill Tavernier Strujk
        2ft 4.2m 6k OR

        Not sure what the play is here…
        A) DCL to Gyokeres and roll other ft
        B)

      • The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        88pts. 46k overall. Would be extremely surprised if anybody could best this!

        1. Cheeky Reijnders
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Take a bow, before me, young man 🙂

        2. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          88pts also and 82k. My Jeffrey archers have you in sight!

        3. TheBrazilianRonaldo
          • 7 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          83 points. Just inside 17k overall. Playing for best finish to date. Good luck!

        4. snow pea in repose
          • 5 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          86 and 22k, that Cherki assist saved my gameweek

      • Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        So. I finish 27 points ahead of ML rival.

        Take -4 to get and captain Gykores or Saka? Been debating this all flipping week.

        Palmer or Pedro to make way. I have a feeling one of them will return even though both, especially palmer have been shocking. ML rival has triple Arsenal defence vs my Saliba and Gab

        1 month, 15 days ago

        With just 2 game weeks to go
        How is everyone looking for rank v previous seasons
        I'm currently ranked 17,178 & on target for my 3rd highest finish
        Would need a big score to beat my second highest season of7,745 rank

        1. chilli con kone
          • 12 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Green arrow up to 4.2m

          Flying

        2. Cheeky Reijnders
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Best previous OR was 79K. Currently at 16k OR. Would like to get into top 10K but at this stage unlikely. Happy if I stay around where I am.

        3. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Standby for all the good ranks

        4. DALEDOBACK
          • 6 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          15th (and possibly last) season, currently on 6k rank.

          895 the highest I've finished with a 5k and a 17k.

          Will be happy with top 10k this season

        5. Buck The Trent
          • 14 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Best OR were top 1K twice from many years ago! Last 3 seasons werent great at top 200k but currently at 40K so I call that an improvement!

        6. TheBrazilianRonaldo
          • 7 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          16,791. Playing to try and finish top 10k. Wildcard to go. Will either fly or drop like a stone.

          1. Cheeky Reijnders
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            1 month, 15 days ago

            Very near each other. I'm 16,013. Your WC should get you under the 10K. GL.

        7. snow pea in repose
          • 5 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Best previous finish, 266k. Currently 22k

      • GE
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Bring in Trossard or Gyoekeres?

        All of my rivals 30 points ahead in my ML have Gyoekeres.
        Or just go him and hope Hinselwood and Richarlison is enough diffs?

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          You’re not making 30 points up with Hinshelwood and Richarlison

          If your goal is to beat them, buy a player they don’t own and captain him

      • panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        I am in need of a differential to propel me into the upper echelons of FPL society.

        1. keefy59
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Saka & captain him v Burnley at home
          If you can get him in without taking any hits
          Or KDH only 6.8% ownership but not captain material .

          1. Qaiss
            • 10 Years
            1 month, 15 days ago

            Saka captain isn’t a proper differential

            1. keefy59
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              1 month, 15 days ago

              Depends on his rank
              I'm assuming he's at a rank where Saka could be a differential .
              Only engaged managers would own him .

        2. TheBrazilianRonaldo
          • 7 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Eze

      • 1justlookin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Watkins & Eze to Gykores & KDH?

      • grooveymatt65
        • 12 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Hi people.

        So my arsenal players are Raya, Gabriel and Eze.

        Im unsure on Eze because of minutes and can swap him to Saka for free, do people reckon it's worth doing?

        If not I can swap Rogers to KDH/Bruno G.

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

          similar position. I have 2 free transfers & i think I'm going to bring in saka & flemming for eze & watkins. I'll also captain Saka.

      • hazza44
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Morning all,
        Suggested transfers for this week? Any must have players for the final few weeks? 1FT £2.9

        Raya
        Gabriel Saliba NOR
        Bruno Wilson Cherki KDH
        Thiago Bowen Haaland
        (Dub Rogers Alderete Hill) 1FT £2.9

      • Stevie B
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Best midfielder (no Arsenal or City) for the next two game weeks?

        Thanks and good luck!
