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, 9 days ago

      Ozil's descent into irrelevancy has really surprised me

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Agreed.

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

      Ozil has always looked like a man on something!!

    3. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

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

  12. boc610
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

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

  13. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 9 days 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, 9 days ago

        Same. Useless

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

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

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

      Typical Yaya - limping ON to the field.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years

        Pure swag.

    • THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Sterling ur gone

    • Weasel51
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I hate Pep

    • Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Though that was Fernandinho's second yellow. Got excited

    • ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

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

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        *resting him for Chelsea

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

        This is pep we're talking about

      3. @persecuted_by_mods
          9 years, 9 days ago

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

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 days ago

            I don't think either of those statements are true

      4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

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

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

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

      5. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Awful from Aguero 🙁

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          Bad pass by Kevin imo

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

          Eh?

      6. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Mane >> Coutinho or Firmino?

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

          None an option? Firmino out of those

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

          Not Sterling

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

          Maybe after Chelsea game

          1. okan58
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 days ago

            Ok, thanks.

        3. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          Both have bad fixture. Siggy more influential. Keep Siggy

        4. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 days 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, 9 days ago

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

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          "Tactical" for Sterling

      9. MOZIL
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Will Son start instead of Jannsen next game?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          He deserves to

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

          Son will start.

      10. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Aguero misses huge header chance 🙁

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

        Arsenal can't touch the ball right now.

      12. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

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

      13. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        KUN NOOOO

        Didn't expect a decent cross from Navas tbf

      14. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

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

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

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