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

    Neville does speak some rubbish sometimes

      I'd swear it's because he doesn't want to run.

    B.) Coutinho
    C.) Vardy

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years

      Tricky

  9. fedolefan

    Isn't Sanchez just gesturing after every move? It's not like Arsenal have been that bad honestly.

  10. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Get Ainsley Maitland-Niles on.

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    Step it up Alexis ffs

    Sanchez definitely isn't worth 11.6m stuck out there is he? I was going to bring him in for Mane but I think I'll bring Alli back in instead even though I've got Eriksen. He offers much more bang for your buck at 8.9m...

    Coutinho was excellent on Saturday and Liverpool have eye-catching upcoming fixtures but every time he's scored > 10 points this season he's flopped the following GW.

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Firmino as false 9 tempting

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

        ...but then there's Origi.

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

      The only reason I want Sanchez is for a TC option. Not even worried about covering ownership. Without him I'll have to TC Ibra GW34. I suppose that's okay though since I have the same confidence level in both.

      I still think he'll get returns in the next 4, but there are at least 5 better value picks that allow you to spend bigger up top, even without Mane.

      I'll probably end up TCing Kane in a single GW

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

        Also Arsenal notoriously bad against top teams and unlocking lower team defences when the bus is parked. They're very good at the other teams/styles in the middle.

        Palace and Boro in the next 4 will certainly be bus parking.

    Llorente > Ibra
    Mané > Eriksen

    ... for a hit?

  14. Sim Simma

    Caballero defending better than both of our CBs

  18. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Ozil such a bitch.

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

    Did I see that right? Caballero kicks it out and Ozil doesn't even appeal for a corner?

    anyone else think Navas has been the weakest link for city today, awful passing and no brain as to what should be the best pass to make

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      You sounded like Ian Wright

      1. seanie3

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          He always states the obvious

          1. seanie3
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            oh sorry, I thought this was a forum, didn't realise I shouldn't be making any comments that weren't obvious

            imagine if that was enforced then there would be probably tens of thousands of posts removed over the last few years..

            1. seanie3
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              looking at your posts, your right you don't state the obvious but to be honest you don't state anything with any real substance or relevance

  22. ★Kuntheman★
