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

    2. Whats the Huth

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

  17. Vinyl78LP
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    armband was set for Sanchez in midweek - now been handed over to Ibra after this showing. Has he been inside the box yet?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years

      Good luck

        As for lukaku. My oul nan is better than that man away from home

      Sanchez gone missing

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        He's on the pitch.

      2. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        How can Arsenal not build through him is what's shocking. Every attack is down the right and he's chilling on the left passing to Monreal.

    7. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Coutinho captain for me midweek I think:) Anyone else?

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Sanchez

      4. Hakchak
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Start as other fires to fight.

        Probably Sanchez and Erik Sen in for mane and Antonio

      5. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Sell.

      6. Debauchy

      LMAO @SANCHEZATEMYHEART and his poor form:

      http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2017/03/31/the-community-round-up-189/?hc_page=2#hc_comment_15313842

      Confidence without cause. Is that you, Arsene?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        He's a full on idiot (previously known as It was Written)

    10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Sanchez will only pass to Monreal today?

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        He's the only one who's talked to him during training this week

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Wonder if the ArsenalFanTv crew will pick up on that.

        I'm genuinely intrigued now.

        1. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Small things.........

    11. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Have Eriksen, who to get for Sterling?

      A) Alli
      B) Coutinho
      C) Firmino
      D) Other

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        ABC

        Can't be sure Cout will play more than 120 mins over the next 2, can we? But I'd probably choose him over Firmino for long-term

    12. King Kohli
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Worth a -8?

      Mane + Siggy + Costa>Sanchez + Alli + Defoe
      Have exact funds

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

        Defoe as part of the plan is not worth it.

        1. King Kohli
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Best striker upto 7.8?

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 12 days ago

            Origi/Welbeck/Anichebe/Gabbi

          2. Team Bobcat
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 12 days ago

            Not many in that category. Very difficult to pick which one is on their day which is why I would consider barnes and put the funds elsewhere.

            Deeney Llorente were the bees knees coming into this weekend. Saw what happened. Caroll seems a decent shout but he is injury prone also. Benteke OMG, Rondon the same....

            1. Team Bobcat
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 12 days ago

              Origi may be a decent shout depending on how long mane is out.

              Fixtures are nice

      2. Team Bobcat
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Could you bring in sanchez and alli only.

        Defoe may be a gamble too far. Barnes has as good a chance as him of scoring the way Sunderland are playing of late

    13. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Don't do that Sergio

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

        He's okay

    14. C_G
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Is Manolo going to be back for the next GW?

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

        No

        1. Tansey
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          manono

      2. Smoky Johnson
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        No, confirmed out.

    15. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Who is the best Mid (for less than 6.0M) to bring for the next 3 games? ( pre DGW, as i'm wildcarding for GW34)

      i'm looking at one of Albrighton, Grosicki and Zaha, but can't decide who.

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        The cheapest one then and put funds elsewhere.

        Wilcarding soon anyway so bench fodder until then
