We’re treated to two final showdowns before the curtains are drawn on Gameweek 31. The Manchester clubs clash at the Etihad as the battle for the Champions League places intensifies, while title-chasing Tottenham Hotspur are visited by a Bournemouth side that’s recorded three successive wins.

Both City and United have flattered to deceive from an attacking perspective across their last four matches: United netted five goals and accrued the joint-fourth-fewest attempts (40), while the Sky Blues placed in the bottom seven for shot-conversion rate (8.3%). At the other end of the pitch, City allowed the fewest shots inside the box (11) of any side but still retrieved the ball from the net on as many occasions (five) as United.

Spurs tallied 16 more attempts (88) and 10 more shots on target (36) than any team across their previous quartet of league encounters, yet they suffered from a 6.8% shot-conversion rate. In contrast, Bournemouth produced some clinical finishing over their last four and subsequently placed joint-third for shot-conversion (16.7%). The Cherries have also shown improved defensive form with just three goals conceded in their last five road trips. However, Tottenham can perhaps take comfort from the fact that only Norwich City have conceded more big chances away from home than Eddie Howe’s side.

      Kane captain in UFPL Wakey?

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Oh yes.

      2. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Quite a few may have stuck with their GW1 captains.

        Wijnaldum assist was a bit of a blow though.

  6. Dušan Citizen

    Number of people with Kane (C)?

    I've seen this movie before.

    United will make it 2-0, then 3-0.

    Then Aguero will score in the 86th min for a 3-1 final.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Oh good. Who got the assist for Aguero's goal?

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sagna I think.

        1. Dr Dream

    kane v that liverpool defence next week, i like it

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years

      (c)

    2. kijsberg
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That Liverpool defence is pretty good without Skrtel. Surely he wont't play next GW.

    3. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's Kane or Willian if I get him.

    4. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Skrtel won't play

      1. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        berbs you heard about the sule rumours sounds promising him or tah would be good

  10. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    50 points yesterday with Siggy captain so still a good week overall despite not captaining Kane

  11. Bun Rab
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So with Rashford's pen and Benteke's pen, if a VAR (Video assistant ref) is introduced, how will they call these? Is contact enough? I thought it was a contact sport.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Strikers, defenders and referees are pathetic. 🙂

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You'd probably have to go with contact or not. It won't fix the problem where there is slight contact and they dive, but it will still be an improvement.

      1. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It just seems a highly expensive idea for something that will still leave it up to the refs call.

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          They already have the cameras, refs already have the earpiece. All they need is someone on the sidelines with a TV. It should cost basically nothing.

          And improvement which doesn't create total improvement is still worth the effort.

      The rules are pants and the on pitch decisions are just plain weird atm.

      If you scuff the polish on a boot it's a pen, if you haul a guy to the ground pulling his shirt off in the process it isn't.

  12. Beatle

    Kun capt gamble looks to be backfiring 🙁

  18. HVT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I'd sell Aguero before I sell Kane.

  19. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is there absolutely nobody that can play instead of Demichelis?

  20. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hart wants to come off becuase of that back pass.

    1. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago
