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.

    Not sure if it is just Jesus being man marked well so he isn't in space to get a touch or if none of the city players are willing to pass to him but he is rarely touching the ball

    Sterling best Palace player on the pitch

      Not sure if serious

        Read again 😉

          I had to read again too! Hah thanks for the tip

    Palace kicking lumps out of KDB

  4. MrZ
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Dont like this.... Lack of teamwork, slow on passes.... Should have been playing counter attack rather than boring passings...

    Then again, it's pep team 🙁

    1. Digital-Real
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      City play good football, nothing boring about their style of football

      1. MrZ
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Too slow in buildup mate, while so many chances for counter attack 🙁

        You can see that they tend to dribble rather than quick passing upfront.. So much represent pep's style

  5. Viper

    8 years, 7 months ago

    Jesus isn't creating an angle for a pull back at all, he keeps moving in on top of the keeper, he's had a few chances to receive the pull back and has turned it down

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

      He was in the right place when Sterling gave him the horrible ball between him in the defender

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

      He wants it on a Silva platter

      1. Viper
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        And hopefully Silva will give it to him on a platter!

  7. Cruz88

    Bottomed, how nailed is Gabriel (Arsenal) at the moment guys?

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not as nailed as the real Jesus

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

      Liar, I was bottomed.

      1. Cruz88
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Multiple bottoms

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

          😮 brb

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Wenger said Mustafi was 2 weeks away

      Then he says he just started full training.

      This could still mean he's 2 weeks away from match fitness. Lot of people reading it different

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

    What is more worrying than the lack of points so far for me as a jesus owner is the inevitable benching in the next game if he remains inefffeticve

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

    City's lone strikers hardly get to see the ball and then often come very deep as they want to touch the ball. So much goes through Silva KDB and then the two wingers and the lone striker is then marked heavily by the two centre backs and often there use is just to keep defenders away from the wingers and Silva KDB/

    1. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Very slow in the buildup, so many chances to conter attack..... Palace are defending high

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Too much play on the wing..
      Jesus is not a great header of a player.

    3. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      If Jesus is just gong to stand in the middle then he looks weaker than Kun
      Just can't see Sterling or Sane crossing the ball

  10. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    No Sane goal yet?

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No but he's looked the most likely. Relieved as a non owner!

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

    Another late challenge that Michael Oliver totally ignores

  12. MrZ
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hope in the 2nd half another jesus play, really need proper crossings

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Did you mean Christ himself?

  13. Sim Simma

    FPL essential?

  16. WVA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sane needs to work on his finishing! Shoots straight at keeper everytime.
    Kompany got me no points last week, looking good for that again this week.
    12 yellow cards in last couple of gameweeks, wtf!

  17. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Shipped Sané and Benteke to get Son and Jesus!
    Gonna regret it dire, right?

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sane looks far more dangerous than Jesus that's for sure!

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Was playing as ½dead man when I owned him 🙁

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years

        Hopefully Jesus gets me something, after the Kane fail

      1. JustPark
        • 9 Years

      8 years, 7 months ago

      got 'lashed' for saying it was a success when the game was only 20 mins in.......... unsurprising
      also didnt get 'lashed' at all .....

      i love these sort of posts

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

        someone's been rubbed up the wrong way by my post.

        let's wait and see, but going by the proceedings, g.Jesus blank is confirmed.

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          You're looking a little silly right now.

  25. GreenArrows

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Just needs to find his shooting boots as off target couple of times but looks lively

    2. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Lively but little end product ... bit like Sterling but capable of running in a straight line

      KDB looking good

  26. money face bandwagon

    I'm not liking Kompany's yellows collection.
    He better get me an assist or something to make up for it

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

      May as well concede

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I benched Kompany and played Willy only

    3. HashAttack

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Could get a cheeky goal if he manages to stay onside against a tired back line

  29. The special 5
