Aguero and Sterling rested as Man City visit Swansea

Sergio Aguero (£11.8m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) have both been handed rests by Pep Guardiola in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Manchester City are visiting Swansea City to compete for a place in the semi-finals, and to potentially confirm a Blank in Gameweek 33.

If they do, that would mean a third Double Gameweek for the defending champions this season, having faced Arsenal and Everton in Gameweek 25 and already confirmed to be playing twice in Gameweek 35.

That later Double Gameweek is booked out with matches against Tottenham (home) and Manchester United (away), which means Manchester City’s Blank Gameweek 33 home meeting with Cardiff would probably move to Double Gameweek 32 if they leave south Wales with a win tonight.

That would set up a hugely appealing Double Gameweek with Fulham (away) and the Bluebirds (home) their two opponents.

For that reason, Fantasy managers, especially those looking to Free Hit in Double Gameweek 32, will be hoping that Manchester City win today.

Watford already confirmed that they and Fulham would not play in Gameweek 33 with their win over Crystal Palace earlier today.

Apart from the rests for Aguero and Sterling, it is a relatively strong line-up named by Guardiola to take on Championship opposition.

Ederson (£5.6m) keeps his place in goal and plays behind a back-four consisting of Fabian Delph (£5.3m), Aymeric Laporte (£5.9m), Nicolas Otamendi (£6.0m) and Kyle Walker (£6.4m).

David Silva (£8.5m), Bernardo Silva (£7.5m) and Ilkay Gündogan (£5.4m) are the central midfield trio with a three-man attack consisting of Leroy Sané (£9.3m), Riyad Mahrez (£8.2m) and Gabriel Jesus (£9.9m).

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Delph, Gundogan, D Silva, B Silva, Sane, Mahrez, Jesus.

      if you hit fh hit now, can you still change team up till next k.o?
      price rises/drops still happen?
      any answer appreciated!

          Yes. Your old team will still operate as normal in the background, just forget that, nothing you can do about it.

        Can't wait to FH

        Anyone keeping Pool assets in their FH teams - can't see why need that cash for double game players

            Won’t have any room if Chelsea and City get DGW’s too.

            Probably sell but i have a feeling some SGW players will haul and punish sellers.

            TOT isn't a juicy fixture for SGW.

              Salah © won't do any good imo.

                Figuring you don’t have to beat many. Bet there were enough Wilson and Vardy captainers that salah haul would be enough to survive.

                5 years, 1 month ago

                Sorry in advance, think I already know the answer:

                If my FH team loses value, do I lose TV? presumably not?

                Interesting though, say I bought Pogba tonight and he dropped as predicted, can I sell him again and rebuy him to get that 0.1m back whilst the FH is still active?

                1. TorresMagic™
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  If your GW31 team loses value, you get that value for 33.

                  1. The Tinkerman
                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    Thats not really what I mean. I presume when I activate FH chip I can use my present sell value at that moment to make a new team.

                    Say I activate the chip now and buy pogba for 8.9m.

                    He drops to 8.8 tonight.

                    I guess I have lost 0.1m of the value I could use to build my FH team for that GW, but after the GW my value goes back to that determined by my previous team since Pogba doesn't impact my actual TV (since I down own him, I'm just loaning him essentially). I would only lose money for the FH week.
