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

      who to get instead on Mane? I think his absense is a chance for Firmino to shine

      48-4.

      Got away with it big time this week.

      Should have been 52-4 if I was paying attention.

      1. Fred54

        53-4. Can't even add up now.

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

    Who to get rid of first

    A) Llorente
    B) Defoe

    Whyyyyyy?

    1. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Llorente, he is injured

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

        When will he be back though. I could always bench the one I don't sell and Defoe is more expensive

  3. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Such a disappointing end to the GW. 50 all out. Sanchez(c) could have been so much better.

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

      Not really. He didn't have a whiff.

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        I know. That's the disappointment really. Didn't put it across well, but disappointed that after no really successful captaincy pick this week, a Sanchez(c) explosion would have meant an immense jump.

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

          Same. Really gutting end to the gw. Could have been out of sight in ML

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

      47 here. Best week for a while for me. It's not going badly if you're that disappointed

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Yeah, doing well overall, so wanted some more to leap higher.

  4. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    People with Lanzini are you starting him vs Arsenal or benching, if you don't have him would you start him? (I really don't want to lose Mane as he's the best Liverpool mid.

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

      No point in keeping a player if he is injured... Even if its Messi/Ronaldo

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

        What if he's back for the weekend?

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

          Looks unlikely... If he is expected to return this weekend, then keep

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

      50/50. Starting him or Brunt

    3. BremerHB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Starting. It's him or T. Carroll.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        I may just bench Mane and start Lanzini if Mane's injured short term, Coutinho is very inconsistent and Firmino doesn't get many returns with Origi in the team so not really interested in another Liverpool mid.

        He has the harder fixtures, less nailed, not on set pieces....but is much more exciting to watch and I'm tempted to keep...

      B

  11. Alan_T

      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      What are people doing with Pedro? RWB yesterday and gametime threatened by Willian and also Fabregas to a certain extent. Fixtures don't look great either. I'm tempted to bring Zaha in for him.

      Thoughts?

        B seems a bit punty and A allows me to get Eriksen and Ibra in eventually.

            I don't understand people here who calls Sanchez for "uninterested"?!?! He was everywhere on the pitch but was playing in a more creative role. Link up play with Monreal was excelley. He was also tracking back and helping the defenders several times. As usual he wants to win and I think he really showed that today.

              Disagree. He was standing with his hands on his hips near the touch line a fair few times. Very different to what I have seen of him in other gamesX

            Are Kun owners going to captain him v Hull next weekend?

            Or are you concerned pep may bench him for nacho...

              Pep doesn't even play Nacho when Aguero is banned. I'm pretty sure he'll be well captained.

                I'm worried he'll get rested soon, he has been playing a lot lately

              who to get instead on Mane? I think his absence is a chance for Firmino to shine....

                Tactical I think? To allow Fernandinho to stay back and cover defence more with Yaya playing
