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.

    For all their technical superiority, City have been pretty wasteful in the final third.

  2. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sané to Silva ?

  3. Digital-Real
    • 8 Years

  4. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

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

      Nice to have a job paying a few million £ a year and not have to do anything for it

  5. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sané and Jesus close

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

      Jesus hasn't had a shot on goal or even a touch in the box.

  6. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Why did I buy Jesus? He has zero goal threat.

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years

      The wheels on the bus go round and round and round and round and round

      He just came back from injury so obviously not match fit

      1. Grounderz
        • 14 Years

        He doesn't have to tell you anything.

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

    Sane close

  15. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sane looking very dangerous.

  16. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sane is clearly the best City option.

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

      The wheels on the bus go round and round and round and round

      1. ★Kuntheman★

  17. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

    Kompany on a YC is bad news..He likes going forwards and not quick enough when retracting and could easily get a second yellow card

  27. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Willy *-*

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

    Sane really unlucky to not have scored thus far

  29. Gooner97
    • 12 Years

    Good match

  30. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years

    This is why Willy was so popular at Malaga. Quality keeper.
