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.

    Offside goal. 2 of Citys goals should've been disallowed.

    linesman played free hit chip. Didn't see the swansea touch for pen given and didn't see offside

    Bernado Silva is top class. What a player.

    Now sure how to feel about this as a FH32er and a Man United fan

    Shouldn't have been a penalty, then the penalty is missed but goes in off the back of the keeper, then an offside winner. When your name is on it...

  18. Tsparkes10

    Mahrez and Sane must feel great hahaha

    No VAR in fa cup?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Only in the Premier League grounds... Makes no sense really.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years

      Some had VAR some didnt. Don't know why they don't do it across the board or just scrap it if some grounds are up to standard to have it

    Told you that 3 goals in 30 mins was easy. This is Man City.

    Best 3rd City player to own in dgw32?
    Bilva, Laporte?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years

      lappy

    2. One More Hit
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bilva I’m thinking, though he doesn’t usually bring home the points. Seems no point getting any defenders or Ederson

    Up the free hitters

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    is it certain city play double in gw32? I assume it is almost certain?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Guaranteed

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  27. Royal5

    No var in the fa?...

  29. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Dam Swansea hard done by with the lack of VAR in this one - not a peno, and an offside goal, mars a thrilling encounter

    Casuals would be crying.. if they're even aware wtf is going on.
