A busy Sunday comes to its conclusion at the Etihad now as Manchester City and Liverpool go head-to-head at 4.30pm.

Two of the top eight captains for Gameweek 29 take to the pitch now, with Sergio Aguero and Sadio Mane handed the armband by 8.33% and 2.12% respectively.

Owned by 21.6% of FPL managers, the Argentinian has found the net just twice in his last ten Gameweek appearances but history is on his side, having scored in all four of his home league appearances against the Merseysiders.

Both Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane boast far better form than the South American as Pep Guardiola’s side look to recover from their midweek Champions League exit in Monaco.

The former has produced returns in nine of his last 11 league outings, while Sane has finally settled after a frustrating first few months after arriving from Schalke last summer – the German wide man has racked up six goals and four assists in his last 11 starts across all competitions.

Residing in over 23% of squads, Mane has delivered double-figures against Spurs and Arsenal in the last four Gameweeks to emerge as Liverpool’s most reliable FPL performer.

Sold by over 118,000 FPL managers last week, Roberto Firmino recovers from a minor groin problem to return to the Reds’ XI.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    That assist should make this NOT my worst GW ever. At least 29 points I hope!

                      (You're on the spreadsheet!)

    6. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Turns out he doesn't like Pep-talks.

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        😎

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Mane will get one on the break!

  7. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Man City 1 SOT 😐

    1. Fergies fledgling
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      The new Arsenal

  8. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    What a joy this Coutinho + Mane double up has been...

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      imagine having raheem and aguero as well. 🙁

    2. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      I'm in the same boat hoping for points this half.

  9. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Pep really has ruined Aguero as a striker.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Ian ate all my Nachos coming on.

  10. HD7
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    I was considering Gabbiadini for the next 2 weeks before this Gameweek. But now I am contemplating Vardy?
    By the way I love Big Rom, but he is the one to be out for the next 2 weeks and then coming back for the home comfort again 🙂

    1. HD7
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      The other strikers are Costa and Llorente.

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Coutinho makes it to 60

  12. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    I don't know about others, but Pep is not good enough for this job for me, he just hasn't got the players confidence.

  13. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Nacho?

  14. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Yaya coming off.

    Kun on penalties then

  15. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Some help would be appreciated guys.

    2 FT and no cash ITB.

    I'm thinking Kun > Vardy but which other transfer should I make? Sanchez > Haz if the former has ligament damage or maybe get Spurs mid? I was going to do Carroll > Gabbi until today's injury.

    Heaton - Pickford
    Brunt - McAuley - Coleman - Mawson - Amat
    Sanchez - Siggie - Mane - King - Phillips
    Lukaku - Kun - Carroll

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      You need spurs midfield.

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Ali or Eriksen? Wait for news of Sanchez injury first though right?

        I just short to be able to do Kun & Phillips > Vardy & Ali/Erilk. Could do Son but not sure after today

      2. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Phillips to Eriksen and Kun to Vardy

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Teams fine. Would hold transfers until Intls are over in case of injuries.

  16. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Coutinho to Firmino close.

  17. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    FFS Bobby 🙁

  18. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    OMG, Bobby wasted Coutinho assist.

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Own both of them. Painful!

  19. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Who's on Pens when Toure's off?

    Milner?

    1. MTPockets
        9 years, 27 days ago

        uhuh

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 27 days ago

          Shame, I don't own him

    2. Sonic Huth
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      If Aguero comes off with a blank

      Ill win a head to head match going with Alli + 2 versus Kun + Walker + Son!!

    3. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Why are they booing Milner? Great servant to City - won titles with them and wanted to stay.

      1. Football Weekender
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Because he wanted to play more football and was willing to be paid less money to do so. Disgraceful attitude from Milner 😉

    4. funnyoldgame
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Are Firmino and Gok Wan brothers?

    5. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

          • 9 Years

    11. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 27 days ago

      The end of KDB? Has looked shocking. Needs to retire.

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Or go back to Wolfsburg

    12. Ógie
