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

  1. The Yorkshire Pirlo

    9 years, 9 days ago

    Did Sane to Mane a couple of weeks back, look good enough to just reverse the transfer? Or is a Liverpool player more needed

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I'd rather do Mane > Coutinho

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

    Mane and Kun to Sanchez and Ibra all good to go?

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

      Yep

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      What's your Front 3 ?

  3. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Sanchez is a problem...

    1. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Hazard is now tempting me.

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

      I know. Difficult to squeeze him in.
      Thank goodness I already have him 🙂

    3. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      In what way?

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Don't you know that if a player blanks once they're no longer a good option?

  4. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Llorente -> Vardy today?

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Looking at that myself..is Llorente expected out for a while?

  5. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Costa > Ibra (-4)?

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

      No

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      No

  6. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    if you were to choose between Coutinho or Origi, which one will you go short term to long term?

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Cout

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

      Coutinho for long term

  7. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    As someone who didnt have a player in this game this went quite well considering there were 4 goals scored.

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

      No Aguero would've hurt

  8. Alan_T
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Best defenders for next 4 weeks or so?

    I've got Spurs, Utd and Chelsea players.

    1. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Get a Boro def for the double

  9. Hochoki
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    am i the only one who thinks hazard is a better option than sanchez ??

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

      Yes

  10. Bring the Cavalry
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    0.1 short for Costa to Ibra, desperately want to get rid of Defoe for Gabbi.
    Chances of Gabbi being fit for Tuesday?

    1. Bring the Cavalry
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Could also do King to Zaha then Costa to Ibra. 2FT

  11. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Having seen that, I'm cancelling my Sanchez plans. Looks like his mind was gone

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

      Good luck

  12. Live Lad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Kun didn't miss easy scoring chances, not many offsides, his passes are mostly completed. Created scoring chances for KDB and Sane though not in good positions (chances nonetheless).

    I hope he will keep all 3 based on the above.

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

      Yeah. He was deducted BPS for losing the ball and offsides in play, too...

  13. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Any good estimate on the average number of points today including autosubs? (Top 10k)

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

      around 36

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

        sorry 44, 36 all

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Think fffix includes autosubs, and 47 top 1k.

    3. Big_Bear
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      47 All in FFS Members Cup. What's the tie breaker?

    4. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Sanchez very average today

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

        i guess its the traveling fatigue and all

    5. Chucky
      • 12 Years

      Will mustafi lose bps as well?

    6. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      How the hell is Kun on max bonus and KdB not even on 1 bap??

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Bonus point system is massively skewed towards strikers

          The sky is blue, but that's also a different answer to the question asked

        • JJJ

          38 for me.

        • thunder_mike
          • 13 Years

          70 (- 4)

      5. Captain Blanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Was all set on Sanchez before watching that, not so sure now. Anyone else fell the same?

        1. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          Yup he looked uninterested for long periods

          1. Captain Blanks
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 9 days ago

            Spent half his time near left back second half 🙁

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

          If don't already have him I would think twice. Arsenal have no urgency and Sanchez stuck to sidelines for 2 games in this new "system"

          1. I Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 days ago

            That was Arsenal's best performance in ages...

      6. I Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Okay to pull the trigger on Mane -> Sanchez now?

        1. boredjames
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          why would you get sanchez in after that?

          1. I Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 days ago

            Do you buy and sell players based on one performance? He's the best player in the league, the FPL top points scorer, has great fixtures and two DGWs. Can't fathom why anyone wouldn't get him.

            1. boredjames
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 9 days ago

              He is playing on the wing and doesn't want to play for the club or manager. i might get him for DGW but dont think he is that important at all at the moment

      7. Lav
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        If Aguero holds bps I have 65 🙂

        How did you do?

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years

          Congrats on 65 bps

            56, looks good for a green arrow.

          • Point-one short

          What's the best move guys?

          Costa out to Vardy
          Siggy out to Son?

          Both to but alli instead on - 4?

        7. Pariße
          • 11 Years

          Any chance Arsenal have a DGW before GW34?

        8. Ëð
          • 10 Years

          Any advice on this squad?

          Heaton, Jaku
          Luiz, Valencia, Evans, Pieters, Amat
          Sanchez, Alli, Mane, Siggy, De Roon
          Costa, Lukaku, Llorente

          1FT, £1.7m ITB.

          Would quite like to get Ibra in, and Mane out... What do you think? Thanks!

          1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 9 days ago

            Mane > Zaha
            Llorente > Ibra

            I'm looking at the doing the exact same

            1. Ëð
              • 10 Years

            I think C just gives benching headaches plus don't forget de roon has a double coming up. I'd go with B.
