Fantasy experts Holly Shand and Wes Prickett on who they are targeting from Pep Guardiola’s side

Although Manchester City have a favourable Double Gameweek 36 in Fantasy Premier League, identifying the players who start twice could prove troublesome.

Pep Guardiola’s side played 120 minutes in their UEFA Champions League defeat to Real Madrid on Wednesday ahead of matches against Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

But Fantasy expert Holly Shand believes some of the early substitutions in midweek may have provided vital clues.

“Based on minutes midweek, I think Mahrez has to have the advantage now,” Holly explains on the latest episode of the FPL Show.

“He’s on penalties, he’s explosive, he is more of the fun pick. So I think if you had to buy one this week, Mahrez would be the one, but there are still so many question marks over rotation.”

Meanwhile, fellow expert Wes Prickett is looking to target the City defence, who kept clean sheets in the reverse fixtures against their DGW36 opponents.

“I’m looking to bring in a defender this week, maybe Laporte or Cancelo, depending on budget,” he says.
