Live FPL updates from Crystal Palace vs Manchester City

Pep Guardiola has once again gone heavy with rotation as Manchester City take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Sergio Aguero (£10.3m) makes his first start in eight games, with Guardiola making eight changes from the Citizens’ 2-1 win at Paris-Saint Germain on Wednesday.

Ruben Dias (£6.1m), Kyle Walker (£6.1m), Ilkay Gundogan (£5.7m), Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m), Bernardo Silva (£7.4m), Phil Foden (£6.0m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.0m) all move to the bench for City.

John Stones (£5.1m), who also started the Champions League semi-final first leg against PSG, is serving the second match of a three-game ban.

Only Ederson (£6.1m), Joao Cancelo (£5.9m) and Rodrigo (£5.3m) keep their places from the victory in Paris, as Guardiola gives a host of key players a breather ahead of the second leg next Tuesday.

For Crystal Palace, the big FPL news is that Tyrick Mitchell (£3.8m) earns a first start since Gameweek 25.

The young left-back replaces Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m), while Roy Hodgson’s other change from the GW33 defeat at Leicester sees Andros Townsend (£5.5m) preferred to Jordan Ayew (£5.6m).

With Double Gameweek 35 confirmed, Eagles attacker Wilfried Zaha (£7.1m) will be blipping on the Fantasy radar. Hodgson’s team travel to both Sheffield United and Southampton in DGW35.

With no updates on social media this weekend, we will bring you live updates on all goals and assists from Selhurst Park, which you can follow below.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Mitchell, Dann, Kouyaté, Ward; Townsend, Riedewald, Milivojevic, Eze; Zaha, Benteke.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Mendy, Laporte, Ake, Cancelo; Fernandinho, Rodri; Gabriel Jesus, Sterling, Torres; Aguero.

        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Looks fine for a BB

        2. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I'm 10 as well on BB. Looks good to go.

  2. El Presidente
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Great balls of fire

  3. ZAMUNDA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Assessing Crystal Palace players for the DGW, who's on your watch list?

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      None, just going to roll with Marty, Bruno, Rudiger and Nacho

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Also gives me 10 players for the blank week

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Zaha only.

    3. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Zaha & maybe guaita

    4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      None. All useless. Plus will need an FT to transfer out.

    5. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Zaha, their best player and on pens

    6. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Mitchell starting is interesting, not interested in anyone else

    7. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Big zero from me.

  4. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    So many melier and dallas owners

    Really need Brighton to scuff one in today

    1. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yup. And a Bamford brace wouldn't got amiss.

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yep, it's been a while

  5. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Palace to win this

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Zaha hatty

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Hopefully

  6. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    The game got so much easier this season once pep became predictable. Leaving off his big players for league games meant you didn't actually need city at all and could concentrate on other things. Old predictable Pep. Who would have thought.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Aye. Leave them well alone for now.

      1. The Son-dance Kid
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        On the assumption city go through in CL, what do we think of Pro's squad for GW 36 and 37? new and bri

        1. The Son-dance Kid
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          *Pep's squad

  7. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Come on Palace.

  8. tbos83
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Definitely reached the 'decision fatigue' stage of the season. These new dgw/blank gws not helping!

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Just ride the wave with couple of punts, only few decisions left

  9. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Just going to echo everyone’s season fatigue

    I’ve just done son to Rodriguez 😀

    1. Wee Jinky
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I'm thinking of the same move, but Son has good fixtures

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Why didn't you wait for Rodriguez to at least play today. What if he gets injured?

  10. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Who'll be your captain next week?

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nacho

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bruno probably

  11. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    So looks like Rudiger is back for the double at least

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Keeping then I assume?

      Tempted to sell with owning both Azpi and Mendy too, and blank after AND of course missing this week apparently now

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Hope so, just seen on main site it says he’s due back 8th May

        1. Skonto Rigga
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Aye, Tuchel thinks he'll even be back for Madrid in midweek.

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Is he? Will be brilliant if he is.

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Check timetable with the cup - rotation central I imagine.

    4. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Got a link? Wanted him on a W/C but gone Dave, but the extra cash allows me to get Salah back more easily.

  12. A. PRISE
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Would Ferran Torres be in the starting line up of Cheltenham if he played there?

  13. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Afternoon crew. How about this for a first draft for DGW35

    Sanchez, Pickford*
    TAA, Rudiger*, Shaw*, Holding*, Coady
    Salah, Jota, Fernandes*, Zaha*, Lingard
    Kane, Nacho*, DCL*

    Playing BB and Double Game Players marked with *
    Costs a -8

  14. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Mitchell to the rescue

  15. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Hi

    Really not sure on the DGW and if it is worth brining in players as fixtures are not great and also a BGW following.

    Only ones I am possibly considering are Everton players. Below is my team

    Mendy | Forster

    Veltman | Shaw | TAA | Dallas | Holding

    Son | Maddison | Jota | Salah | Lingard

    Iheanacho | Kane | Vydra

    2.6M ITB

    Who would you bring in, struggling to find decent options!

    Thanks

  16. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Would you get Sterling next year if he's 8.5m which he should be?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Depends on his performance

      Think I'll take a punt on mahrez instead if he is 8.5

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 11 months ago

        No, he doesn't even start regularly anymore pep has finally had enough

      • DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I will prefer Reidewald. Would not pretend to be in my 11 every week pulling my team down.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Mahrez will be 9.5 or 10

      • SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Will be 10m

      • Limbo
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        No. Sterling, Marhez both way to prone to rotation. The game is hard enough without the hassle of Guess Who.

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      As expected

      Ederson on more saves than Guaita

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        As expected...

      2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Transferred Ederson in 🙂

      3. Tasty Jerk
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Did you see our U18s just beat Brighton to stay top of U18 league? 🙂 Rak-Sakyi and Omilabu cracking players, going to need to push some of our young players through to be around the first team squad with all our old out of contract players next season, hopefully get a few games end of season.

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Nope didn't watch but saw the result and smiled

          Sadly think we may be a couple of seasons out in blooding the under 18s for serious minutes. Huge amount depends on who the manager is of course.

    4. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Is 7 dgw players enough? Or take a hit for 8?

      1. A. PRISE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        More than enough

      2. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Blimey I’m sat here thinking 4 is enough

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Own team bias

      3. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        10 for me. Big or bust.

      4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Depends

        Fixtures are poor for me. I actually prefer some of the single gw fixtures

    5. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Which striker for the double?

      A) Benteke
      B) Ayew
      C) Adams

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Or D) Keep Bamford

      2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        D

      3. OLD Rafiki
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Probably go with D

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks all

      4. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Teke if you must

      5. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        D

    6. OLD Rafiki
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Will chiwell play?

    7. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Are these 4 DGW players enough? Anyone notable missing?

      Bruno
      Martinez
      Rudiger
      Iheanacho

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Maybe Shaw

      2. OLD Rafiki
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Watkins

      3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I am playing those 4 + Konsa + Digne

      4. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I have a hunch about Greenwood and Richarlison

    8. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Zaha looking angry and interested in this game. He maybe is indeed playing for a transfer

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He will retire from Palace

      2. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He’s always like that, every game, I’ve never seen a bigger moaner bar Suarez in the game.

    9. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lingard Dias and Bamford to Adams Zaha and Digne -4?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Selling Messi for a hit ?

      2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Why Lingard?

        1. Champions League Varane
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Two tough games coming up while Zaha has 3 favourable ones.?

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Everton has been conceding. Plus I am looking more long term - till the end of the season. Its Zaha and Palace with nothing left to play vs Lingard and West Ham aiming for Europe.

          2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            I totally get this but West Ham are fighting for something and obviously the better team whilst palace have been atrocious

            Not saying don’t do it. I was considering it earlier then I looked at it and thought differently

          3. bitm2007
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            What tough games ? EVE aren't great defensively and the other 4 fixtures (bur, bha, wba, SOU) on the season ticker are blue.

            1. Champions League Varane
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Thanks guys I’ll look elsewhere! 🙂

    10. OLD Rafiki
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Almost an assist from cancelo

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        His season has been an "almost"

    11. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Pickford or Guaita for the DGW? Have MartineZ, playing BB.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Guaita

    12. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Townsend, time for another screamer.

    13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Jesus goal disallowed

      1. OLD Rafiki
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Off

    14. BigBillyBass
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      How’s this looking for next week’s bench boost?

      Pickford (Guaita)
      TAA Castagne Shaw
      Salah Son Greenwood Lingard Zaha (c)
      Kane Iheanacho

      Bench: Watkins Konsa Ward

      1. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Don't captain Zaha

    15. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      James or Keane?

    16. g40steve

          Seems to be making my page jump around a bit. Losing my place scrolling through comments.

          1. Nightcrawler

            Yes been happening since last week. Atrocious

        Yup it's poor especially when the article has the comments section. you need to refresh the comments and it turns the live blog back on every refresh.

        Needs fixing or done away with.
