Following the disappointment of Spurs defeat at West Ham, the Gameweek resumes at the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City host Crystal Palace.

From a Fantasy perspective, there is one man under the microscope.

Brought in by 228,000+ ahead of this weekend – a key target for those dealing Wildcards – Gabriel Jesus goes into today’s game with a weight of expectation on his shoulders. He will lead the City attack in the absence of Sergio Aguero having scored four goals from six appearances and just five shots on target. Over 51,000 have also trusted Jesus with their Gameweek armband for this Palace clash.

Elsewhere, Leroy Sane is recalled to today’s City line-up with the backing of 41,000+ new FPL owners – the 7.7-priced winger remains a key differential, however: he’s still found in just 6.5% of squads.

Indeed, it’s Palace who boast the top owned players in today’s encounter, with both Wilfried Zaha (13.9%) and Christian Benteke (11.1%) still nursing high ownerships following their recent double Gameweek 34.

It remains to be seen if the Eagles pair can improve on the 1-point they both returned against Burnley last weekend. Certainly, the 38,000+ who acquired City keeper Willy Caballero for Gameweek 36 will be hoping they are kept quiet.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Looks like Jesus won't score. He's not fit enough.

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Scored last week didn't he? U mean u hope he doesn't score cause u don't have him?

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      True story, has to resort to prostitutes.

    3. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Are u going to brag about it if he doesn't and hide away if he does so nobody remembers u when u get a call wrong? Maybe better just to make your point once instead of repeating it over and over again do u understand what I'm saying to u right now?

  7. DR0GBA
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Why does Jesus look so slow? Even defenders are faster/equalling him for pace...

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Defenders can be quick too !

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Because it's not Fifa. 😉

      1. DR0GBA
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        To be fair, defenders are faster on Fifa than how they used to be on like Fifa 12/13

    3. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Schlupp and PVA are some of the fastest defenders in the league

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Compared to Schlupp and PvA, everyone looks slow

  8. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Why is it Jezuz and not Jesus

    1. Funkyav
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I think you will find its Hey Zoooos

    2. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Jezuz is Jezuz because you typed it like that

    3. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Because portugese speakers pronounce it like that as opposed to spanish Hesus.

    4. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I think it's something like /ʒezuːs/ as opposed to English /dʒiːzəs/, but I can't be bothered to look up Portuguese phonology, let alone Brazilian dialects.

  9. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Baby T-Rex should really be shooting there.

  10. Fowler23
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Silva bossing it right now

  11. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    More poor decision making from Sterling

    He really needs to improve in that department

  12. BERGKOP
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Silva is absolute class

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Incredible pass!

    2. faver
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      class is permanent. one of those players who can turn game around with one pass

  13. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    My word, Kompany doesn't defend very well

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Had 2 good seasons 4 or 5 years agoand people forget he's been rubbish every time he has played since theb

  14. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    It's like Sunday school in here. Jesus this, Jesus that.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      With a name like G(od).Jesus, you're destined to do well

  15. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    That ball from Sterling could have put Jesus back in the hospital.

  16. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling is the weak link of City's attack imo

    1. faver
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      make navas great again?

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He's only 22. For England's sake, I hope he improves.

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        He played better at Liverpool

      2. Clump
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        From a Welsh, Liverpool fans perspective, I hope he doesn't.

  17. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Palace looking like acoring? I benched Cab for De Gea as i didnt want to double up on citys defense with Kompany

    1. faver
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      no, they are not looking that good. but ddg will have problems with keeping cs.

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Hmm...

    2. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years

      Top lad

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      he's a dink

  19. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    With Silva in this form, City have the top 4 spot secure.

    United need Liverpool to slip up...

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      They need Gerrard to slip up

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'm glad someone picked up on that assist. Was hoping for a better finish though 😀

        1. makaveli123
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years

      Why would he be?

      1. DR0GBA
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Because he's Jesus

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You're not very good at winding people up

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

  27. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Are you all avoiding United for the double?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      There are no stand out options with Zlatan gone. And they're all tired.

  28. Hybrid.power

    1. Lizard Lips

      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sane will get a late goal or assist. Jesus nothing. Bookmark this.

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
