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
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.

FPL pods to get a ton of patreons this week. No one has a clue anymore.
