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.

    City need Bony target man

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

      Or Benteke

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

        Or Michu

  2. Piggs Boson

    Jesus is heavily marked but he is doing something today. He's pulling defenders away to create space for his teammates. Bad for us, good for City.

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

      Or is he just hiding behind the DEF.

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

      Lack of supply to him.... So many spaces but so slow in passing

    3. Unsuccessful
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Good for a match-kit Aguero

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

        Match fit*

    Already talk on here about shipping Jesus. If the ball bounces off his backside and into the net in the next 45mins he'll become essential.

      Fickle game

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

      It's always been like that. One quiet game and the knees are a'jerking.

    Quick congrats to Hennessey ... more saves this morning than the 3 gw that I had him for ... (but that was only 1 save in total)

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

      True that, him and Jakupovic have been trolling me since I got them on WC... Never performs as expected 😳

    This is a fail week, I can feel it.

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

      Lukaku will save it

      1. FALCAO & MOU
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        That is the last thing I want.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I take comfort in the fact that Mark is also on 7 pts from 4 at the moment.

  6. Legomane
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Kane Alli > Aguero Sané (-4)...

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

      Nooooo

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

      For free, I'd consider it

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      ...Aguero's injured...

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

      Yep thats what im talking about.... So many chances to counter, but so slow in passing

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        They are boring. He needs to adapt to the Prem, else next year he'll be trophyless again. Best coach in the world, you know!!!!!

  8. Piggs Boson

    8 years, 7 months ago

    Palace are giving Silva waaay too much time on the ball!

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

      Agreed. Palaces CDM need to start getting involved.

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

    2nd half... Defenses are tired.... Cmon jesus & sane !!

  10. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else with absolutely no players today, other than King?

    Starting at a (temporary, hopefully) big red arrow, I think!

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

      Only Anichebe (3rd sub)

  11. Alan_T
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I really want to punt on Fabregas - thoughts?

    Or Son a better punt?

    I want to kick it up a bit now the season is coming to an end.

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'd punt on Fabregas between the two. Son is so unpredictable - you never know if he's going to be anonymous or score a hat-trick. (but maybe that's the appeal of a punt)

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    1. Pirlø's Pen
