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

    3 BAPS for kun?

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      2 would be my guess

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

      won't keep them imho

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

      Probably not, he always loses points post game

    4. Urchin
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      looks like it...9 points for captain is not a bad return, even 8 would do 🙂

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

    Dropped out FFS cup because captained Alonso.. 1 point difference would have been enough..

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I dropped out due to Gibson getting 2 baps 😯

      1. KUNingas

    Why does Navas start ahead of Nolito?

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Nolito is not much better

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

    Who would have taken the penalty? Yaya or Kun?

    Also, anyone know why Charlie Daniels never takes a pen anymore?

  7. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    6 points today....whoop whoop

  8. Lumberjack
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Mane to Sanchez still a good move after this performance? Or go to Hazard instead?

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

    Mane to Cout and Redmond to Zaha .. Good moves ?

  10. Yank Revolution
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I'm happy with 21 pts today *if Kun's 3 Cap Baps stick*....57 pts (-4)

  11. Jafooli
    • 14 Years

    2. TorresMagic™

      • 16 Years

      Lots of deductions to go.

  13. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years

    Any hope for kun getting the 3 baparoonies.

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

      No

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

      I don't think there's very much to deduct in terms of negative BPS. I was keeping on tabs with it...

  14. Evasivo

    What happened to Sanchez today?

    1. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      ...superglued to the touchline for 2nd match running - no goal threat whatsoever.

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

        Oooooooo God. Hopefully a one off, and not signs of things to come

  15. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Good to go for next week?

    Jaku
    Alonso Valencia Davies
    Sanchez (C) Alli Coutinho Siggy King
    Lukaku Aguero

    Subs: Valdes Pieters Olsson Crouch

  16. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Mane, Lanzini, Llorente > Alli, Coutinho, Vardy -8 ?

    1. Jay_
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Good moves if you leave money for Vardy to Ibra in the bank

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Costa > Ibra after anther week

    2. Jay_
        9 years, 2 months ago

        -----------------DDG-------------------
        ----Alonso Valencia Davies-------
        Sanchez Alli Eriksen Siggy JWP
        -------------Lukaku Vardy------------
        ---------------------------------------------
        Cabellero Negredo Yoshida Mustafi

        1 FT, 2.1m ITB. Just wildcarded, plan was to save then Vardy to Ibra in 32, Siggy to Zaha in 33.

        A) Save FT, stick to plan
        B) JWP > Zaha
        C) Negredo > Origi
        D) Siggy > Sane
        E) Something else (any upgrade can only be by 0.6 to leave funds for Vardy to Ibra)

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Save and play Negredo over JWP this week. That's what I'm doing.

          1. Jay_
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Boro were terrible today though and Hull solid at home. Wish we could have had a Palace/Benteke like change of form. We've put ourselves in a bit of a dodgy position with JWP and Negredo mate!

              1. Jazz!
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                Yeah, I do have a gut feeling about Negredo though! Play him over JWP son.

                1. Jay_
                    9 years, 2 months ago

                    Yeah I think I will. They need to go more attacking now, let's hope Rudy starts

            • KUNingas
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              A

              1. Jay_
                  9 years, 2 months ago

                  Cheers mate

              • 13 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Alexis never had a sniff today, was playing so deep. To people who are put off bringing him in please consider he will be alot more aggressive in his positions against west ham and is the best FPL player in the game...

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

                Was set on Mane>Sanchez yesterday, but now considering Mane>Coutinho instead tbh

            • JJO
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Aguero captainers they are just f with us
              Giving him bps for nothing so we think he will get 9 points and then he will loseat least 2,maybe all 3 baps in 10-15mins

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

                Nah , 2 min, hope

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

                exactly. 0 or 1 bonus points probably. just imagine he score those 2 headers and we would be looking at 30 point return and big boost of ranks!

            • adey70
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Considering wildcard - is it crazy timing?
              Current squad: Grant, Jaku / Stones, Koscielny, Macauley, Valencia, Walker / Walcott, Alli, Siggy, Coutinho, Davies / Lukaku, Costa, Llorente...

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

                McAuley**

                  9 years, 2 months ago

                  Ha, thanks BigAndy. Spelled his name wrong on purpose, to punish him for being my third sub this week, so I got a point apiece from Stones & Davies.

            • F4L
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Anyone shipping Siggy for a hit?

              1. TorresMagic™

                • 16 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                Tempting, owning Llorente isn't helping.

            • HuttonDressedasLahm
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Navas in the baps without any returns!!

            • Jimmy Boy
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Coleman to Mustafi or Coleman to Baines?

              1. Revival
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                Mustafi looks a good shout

                1. Alan_T
                  • 9 Years
                  9 years, 2 months ago

                  Really? With Koscielny out?

            • purple.emu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Augero C outscores a would be -4 Vardy C. Boom!

              Do I keep him for the next game now???

              1. Whats the Huth
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                Keep Aguero?

                Yes

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

                Would fancy City to score. Hull at home immediately after...

            • Oven Glover
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              I need 1 lousy bonus point from Kun to win my members cup tie. Should be safe, right?

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

                Yep

                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 2 months ago

                  There were loads taken off him during the course of the game, though, TM...

            • Elijah's Wood
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Looks like Aguero will be staying in my team for a fourth week in a row, Mane -> Sanchez, and then bring in Ibra next week i guess.

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

              I was planning on doing Kun + Mane > Ibra + Sanchez but now I'm not so sure; I assume a lot of people are in the same boat.

              1. Whats the Huth
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                Get Sanchez.

                Keep kun

                  Don't have the spare cash for it as it stands.

              • 9 Years

              Best defenders for next 4 weeks?

              I've got Spurs, Utd and Chelsea players.

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

              Sane or Siggy > Sanchez?

              I am through to the next round of FFS Cup if kun gets 3 baps.otherwise am out 🙁 2 won't be enough
