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.

      This

      Kompany OG or Cabaye G

  2. ★Kuntheman★

    Kevin still firmly beating Pogba in the woodwork contest this season

    City are better off without Aguero they play more like a team

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      more like they are better with Silva.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        This. Without a shadow of a doubt. Silva is the most integral part to Man City's team.

  4. Bruno Bruno!!

    Half the people cheering on Kompany probably dont even have him on their team

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It was a good goal to be fair

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Do you have to have a player on your team to have some good will for him?

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm in the half that do

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

      I think everyone can get behind a great bloke who's been fighting injuries forever and is scoring on his return

  5. FALCAO & MOU

    This is the week I drop from 20K to 40K.

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

      Chill,This week depends on Sanchez,Not on such small things

  6. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Not able to watch the game - is Silva or KDB more tempting to bring in for next week?

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Silva

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

      Silva but only because he's cheaper. I want both back in my WC

      1. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Money ain't a problem thankfully

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

    Jesus looks awful

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

      lone striker at city always starved of chances.

  8. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hopefully with this scoreline Jesus can come off for an early rest.

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

    Who's joining me in putting the TC chip on KDB next week?

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

    Jesus not even going to touch the ball in the box at this rate.

  11. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Kompanys shot looked off target to me

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

    Seriously, no one is marking Silva. No palace player is within 2 miles of him. I'm just watching him atm 🙂

    Zonal marking is great and all, but surely you can spare one midfielder to man-mark?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      They have like 5 men on jesus

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

        They all rush into the box. So pretty much 😆

    2. Smarty Pants
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      They saw the orange flag on FPL and didn't expect him to play.

  13. Feloh
    • 8 Years

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

  15. Fowler23
    • 9 Years

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    How has Sane looked?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Has pummelled Hennessey with his dreadful shooting.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Ah ok. At least he's shooting I suppose 😉

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Jesus making runs for others to get in

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

    Sane ugh cross for Jesussss

  23. JJO
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

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

    Sane has had 4 good chances so far, Jesus nothing, this sytem does not suit lone striker over class winger.

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

    F**K Sané.. Why don't he ever pass to Jesus!!!!!

  26. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    So frustrating as a Sane and Jesus owner 😐

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