The final match in Gameweek 35 gets underway at the Etihad shortly as City prepare to entertain West Brom. Having taken a single point from last week’s pair of matches, Manuel Pellegrini’s side now sit nine points behind league leaders Liverpool, albeit with a couple of games in hand, whilst the Baggies are hoping to extend their three-match unbeaten run and boost their prospects of beating the drop, with Pepe Mel’s men only three points clear of safety:

Both sides also have an upcoming double Gameweek 37 on their respective agendas to catch Fantasy managers’ attention.

Yaya Toure is again ruled out for the hosts tonight, though the big news is that David Silva has recovered from an ankle problem and returns to the starting XI. Samir Nasri will be hoping to continue the form which has seen him score in each of his last two home games, whilst a big performance from Sergio Aguero will surely quicken up the bandwagon.

For West Brom, form players are few and far between, though Morgan Amalfitano, priced at just 4.2 and with two goals and an assist in his last three, could potentially play his way into some managers’ plans if he continues in the same vein.

                  Silva injury doubt and likely not to play the double. Nasri on set pieces cheaper and more attacking. Nasri has looked much more dangerous than Silva, so still happy I did the transfer.

                  Aguero passed it, it bounced back to him off the defender and then he scored.

                I'm 0.1 short to do Lukaku, Terry to Rooney, Demi,

                But I have just enough to do Lukaku, Terry, Snod to Rooney, Smalling, Ramsey for -8.
                Hit it or quit it?

                how is the 2nd assist for nasri any different from aguero trying to nutmeg a defender and it hitting the defenders leg and coming back to aguero for him to score

                in that case it would def be a nasri asssit.. so how is this different?

                I'm considering Eriksen -> Ramsey this week. What do you think?

                Midfield at the moment:

                Eriksen Mata Nasri Silva Puncheon

                Don't think there is anyone else I could get rid of. And don't really want to take a hit and take Cahill out and change puncheon to Ramsey. As then I would have problems picking who to play.

                Just realized I have 19 points on the bench..who would have taught both Ward and Coleman would massively outscore Terry and half my outfield players...

                    wow, thats bad 🙁 I think a lot of people got burnt on Chelsea this GW, or actually the last several.

                    I have Baines and Zabaleta as my other defenders, so couldn't really fit them in, just sad to see so many points on the bench.

                    I'd actually be curious how many people played Ward. I had Speroni in goal , so felt it was far too risky to play Ward as well, specially with Zabaleta , Terry and Coleman/Baines the other options.
