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.

    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, 3 months ago

      I'd rather do Mane > Coutinho

  2. Kevtheotter
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      What's your Front 3 ?

  3. Shifty
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez is a problem...

    1. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard is now tempting me.

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

    3. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years

      In what way?

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

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

  4. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Llorente -> Vardy today?

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

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

  5. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Costa > Ibra (-4)?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No

  6. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Cout

    2. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Coutinho for long term

  7. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      No Aguero would've hurt

  8. Alan_T
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Best defenders for next 4 weeks or so?

    I've got Spurs, Utd and Chelsea players.

    1. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Get a Boro def for the double

  9. Hochoki
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  10. Bring the Cavalry
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

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

  11. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Good luck

  12. Live Lad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

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

  13. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      around 36

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        sorry 44, 36 all

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Think fffix includes autosubs, and 47 top 1k.

  14. Big_Bear
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. TorresMagic™

      1. Big_Bear
        • 11 Years

  15. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez very average today

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      i guess its the traveling fatigue and all

  16. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Will mustafi lose bps as well?

  17. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Goal

    2. drughi

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

      Bonus point system is massively skewed towards strikers

  18. d3bug

    Average Score?

    1. Ninja Škrtel
      • 12 Years

      i'm on 60

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

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

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      35 before autosubs.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        41 after autosubs

        1. d3bug
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          that was quick... thanks TM!

      2. Jazz!

      3. d3bug
        • 9 Years

        Expecting lots of WBA and SOU def coming as autosubs

    3. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Mid 40s

    4. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      About 40

    5. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm on 53 now

    6. JJJ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      38 for me.

    7. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      70 (- 4)

  19. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Yup he looked uninterested for long periods

      1. Captain Blanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Spent half his time near left back second half 🙁

    2. Shifty
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

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

  20. I Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. boredjames
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      why would you get sanchez in after that?

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months 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

  21. Lav
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    If Aguero holds bps I have 65 🙂

    How did you do?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Congrats on 65 bps

    2. Hochoki
      • 12 Years

      1. WE ARE RANGERS
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        lucky with 20 odd bench points

    4. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      55

    5. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years

      56

    6. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure, probably in 40s

    7. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      56, looks good for a green arrow.

    8. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      57 all out.

  22. Smoky Johnson
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling, Mané, Aguero > Firmino/Alli, Sanchez, Ibra (-4) ?

    Have Eriksen.

    1. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good, I'd go with Alli.

  23. nkhoughton
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What's the best move guys?

    Costa out to Vardy
    Siggy out to Son?

    Both to but alli instead on - 4?

  24. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Any chance Arsenal have a DGW before GW34?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Unlikely

  25. Ëð
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    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
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Mane > Zaha
      Llorente > Ibra

      I'm looking at the doing the exact same

      1. Ëð
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Looks very nice actually!

  26. Hochoki
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    when will be the 2nd round fixtures out ??

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not today.

  27. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Jaku Grant
    Walker Alonso Valencia Evans Amat
    Mane* Lanzini King Siggy Deroon
    Aguero Costa Lukaku
    1ft 2.3 itb

    A. Mane to Alli for free
    B. Mane to Sanchez for free
    C. Kun+Mane+Deroon to gabbiadini/Barnes + alli + Sanchez for -8

    Cheers

    1. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

  28. purple.emu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez Erikson Courtinio

    Whos most important? Do we need Sanchez?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Only 1 player in there that is spelled correctly so him

      1. purple.emu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        You've spelt your name wrong Jack

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Jack is not my name, so that makes no sense 😀

  29. John wick
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Siggy to coutinho for free....
    Front 8
    Sanchez firmino Alli king siggy
    Ibra kaku llorente

    1. joersherman
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Llorente may be a more pressing issue?

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Why sell siggy?

  30. Alan_T
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Navas on 32 BPS despite a yellow and no goal or assist

    Crazy

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Big chances, crosses.
