After Gylfi Sigurdsson disappointed during Swansea’s goalless draw with Middlesbrough at the Liberty, Gameweek 30 comes to its conclusion with the small matter of a 4pm showdown between Arsenal and Man City at the Emirates Stadium.

Two of the top five captained players in this round of fixtures go head-to-head now, with Sergio Aguero and Alexis Sanchez handed the armband by 8.8% and 5.7% of Fantasy Premier League managers respectively.

Sanchez, certainly, is the most reliable of the pair, serving up a goal or assist in 13 of his last 15 league outings to clinch a place at the top of the FPL leaderboard.

Aguero has upped his output in recent weeks, though, with two goals and an assist in his previous four appearances.

Up against a defence that’s been breached three times in three of their last four league fixtures, the Argentine goes in search of a fifth double-figure away haul.

With Arsenal playing ten times in the remaining eight Gameweeks and City boasting nine fixtures over that stretch, the likes of Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, Mesut Ozil and Danny Welbeck also have a chance to impress, with the latter handed a third straight start by Arsene Wenger.

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

      Yup
      And Gabriel for Kosc.

  11. tm245

    Koscielny and Ozil have been quite disappointing this season - I would have considered them two of the most essential players in the team in August.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ozil's descent into irrelevancy has really surprised me

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Agreed.

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ozil has always looked like a man on something!!

    3. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah. Kos a great player being made to look mediocre by those around him

  12. boc610
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    the kos/ gabriel double act: you do a half, il do a half

  13. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Why do I even have Sterling? I can't stand the guy and think he's a fart of a player

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Same. Useless

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        ABSOLUTELY. I made the same mistake. He really, REALLY frustrates.

    • Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Typical Yaya - limping ON to the field.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years

        Pure swag.

    • THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling ur gone

    • Weasel51
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I hate Pep

    • Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Though that was Fernandinho's second yellow. Got excited

    • ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      They must be resting him for Sterling. There's no other way to justify it.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        *resting him for Chelsea

      2. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        This is pep we're talking about

      3. @persecuted_by_mods
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Taking off a bad player who is playing very bad doesn't need much justification

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            I don't think either of those statements are true

      4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Come on alexis, my season rests on your shoulders my son

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Seemed to have developed 'My Son' tourettes this GW...

      5. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Awful from Aguero 🙁

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Bad pass by Kevin imo

        2. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Eh?

      6. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Mane >> Coutinho or Firmino?

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          None an option? Firmino out of those

        2. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I know Liverpool did well yesterday but with no Lallana or Mane I don't see a Liverpool mid as essential.

      7. okan58
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Sigurdsson out Sane/Sterling in? I've been thinking about it for a couple of weeks. Should I do that?

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Not Sterling

        2. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Maybe after Chelsea game

          1. okan58
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Ok, thanks.

        3. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Both have bad fixture. Siggy more influential. Keep Siggy

        4. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Getting rid of highly owned players for diffs will work spectacularly well or spectacularly badly.

          But personally I've reached that gamble stage of the season.

      8. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Not able to watch the game. Were the Kos and Sterling subs injury related or tactical?

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          "Tactical" for Sterling

      9. MOZIL
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Will Son start instead of Jannsen next game?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          He deserves to

        2. okan58
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Son will start.

      10. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Aguero misses huge header chance 🙁

      11. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Arsenal can't touch the ball right now.

      12. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Kun so shocked that Navas' cross didn't hit the first defender he wound up missing

      13. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        KUN NOOOO

        Didn't expect a decent cross from Navas tbf

      14. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Need 4 more points from Kun n Sanchez(c) to beat my FFS CUP rival 🙁

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Kun with get couple of BPs atleast, Sanchez will get 1 more point for playing 60mins, should be fine

      15. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        And there is the annual successful cross from Navas. As you were.
