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 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

      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 🙂

        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

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

      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

        No Sem will kill you

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

      Double Arsenal defence vs Burnley or get Gyokeres?

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        1 hour, 6 mins ago

        I think this really depends on your rank goals

          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

            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

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

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

    13. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      1 hour, 39 mins 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 hour, 3 mins 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

    14. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      1 hour, 36 mins 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?

    15. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      1 hour, 31 mins ago

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

      1. I have no Wirtz
          1 hour, 16 mins ago

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

        • Pep's Money Laundry
          • 10 Years
          1 hour, 14 mins ago

          30 points is easily doable.

          Really tough between KDH and Szoboszlai, probably Szoboszlai

        • Atimis

          Cheers guys!

      2. I have no Wirtz
          1 hour, 29 mins ago

          Who should make space:

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

          1. Atimis
            • 9 Years
            1 hour, 11 mins ago

            Still A makes most sense on paper…

          2ft 4.2m 6k OR

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

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

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

            86 and 22k, that Cherki assist saved my gameweek

        • Supersonic_
          • 4 Years
          1 hour, 24 mins 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

          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

            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.

          4. DALEDOBACK
            • 6 Years
            57 mins 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
            56 mins 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
            41 mins ago

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

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

          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

            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

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

            • 7 Years
            53 mins 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
              7 mins ago

              Saka captain isn’t a proper differential

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

          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.

            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.
