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

    Team for next week looks soo bad. Need Ibra and Alexis for Mane and LLorente but no money in the bank lol!

  2. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    In order to get cash for mane to sanchez.

    1. Lose Alonso to robertson (having valencia, walker, olsson and holgate)

    2. Lose walker to 4.2 def

    3. Lose kun to ibra

    1. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      3 for me

    2. Darklord_bg
      • 9 Years

      3

  3. Magic Bean
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    52 all in. Grand

  4. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Ibra (-4) or Vardy in for Llorente? Or punt for Origi?

  5. Foozeball
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    wtf happened to Llorente? Will he back for Wednesday? I don't want to burn a transfer on him or play Lukaku... -_-

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Just play Lukaku

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Good chance he will be back

    3. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Why would you not want to play Lukaku

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Utd hard to score against I'd say

        1. andymck
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          But why would you bench the top goalscorer in the league.

      2. Foozeball
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Because Lukaku was awful against Pool, continuing his terrible record against top sides, and thus I seriously doubt he'll perform against ManU

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

          Scored against City (twice) and Spurs so he's shown that he's capable. Wouldn't bench him.

  6. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    How does this look for next game week? Gtg? Plan for now is that once Gabbi will be Vardy and Lukaku will be Kane and one of Spurs midfielders Sane

    Jakupovic
    Valencia Davies Alonso
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Eriksen
    Lukaku Vardy Origi

    Pickford King Yoshida Mawson

    1. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Nice Origi punt!

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      * once Gabbi/Kane fit. Ibra an alternative for Kane depends on form

  7. bentekesrightfoot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Mane & Siggy > Sanchez & Zaha
    orr
    Mane & Aguero > Sanchez & Ibra

    for a -4 what y'all reckon

    1. weaver93
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      i'm doing same..
      Mane & Kun to go..

  8. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Will lose value on Coleman when he drops next, should I..

    A - Play Nyom, keep Coleman on the bench losing value (No playing sub defender)

    B - -4 for a replacement - Prob Davies, Mustafi/Monreal or Bertrand.., bench Nyom

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      B - your call on whom ...

  9. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    A) Mane + Sterling >> Zaha + Sanchez (-4)
    B) Mane + Aguero + McCauley >> Sanchez + Ibra + Yoshida (-8)

    Thoughts guys?

  10. NorwichCityLad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    For -4

    Sanchez > Alli

    Costa > Aguero

    Yes or no

    1. Distinctly Average
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Put down whatever you've been smoking bro...

    2. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      No.

  11. Distinctly Average
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Awful game week with 37 in total. Red arrow incoming and rival gained points on me. At a loose end with what to do for next GW, any help would go down a storm!

    Jaku
    Alonso, Baines, Valencia
    Sanchez, Alli, Mane, Siggy, King
    Costa, Lukaku,

    Pickford, gabbi, holgate, Amat

    1FT 1.3 Itb

    Want to pull the trigger on mane out but it'll be affected by whether gabbi is fit or not.

    Thoughts?

  12. Qubit
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Aguero captain all week but changed it last few mins. Reminder of an FPL rule - dont make changes last minute - rarely works out.

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Works about 50% of the times so not a rule imo 🙂

      1. Qubit
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Not for me! lol 🙂

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

  17. ☻ Jon Snow ☻
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Who would you bring in next GW

    Coutinho
    or
    Sanchez?

    And for whom; Sterling or Mané?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Sanchy for Mane if definitely injured... which he is right?

  18. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    I am too scared to check the baps.please tell me that Kun still has all 3 baps.. My members cup tie depends on it 🙁

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Shhh! Nobody say a word.

    2. McQueen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Yup still leading by one.

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Wow you made my day 😀 baps final right??

        1. McQueen
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          Nowhere near final. Disposessions still to come. Don't know if big chances missed are already calculated..

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      I have news...

      1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Surely will lose them after deductions for all the missed chances

    4. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      He still has the 3 for now, but for me those 4 dispossessions are going to bite soon. You need to put your energy into hoping he still gets 2.

  19. Tabbara
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Who to bench for GW 31:
    A:Zaha (Away vs Southampton)
    B:Robertson(Home vs Middlesborough) (Jakupovic is in goal)
    C:Andy Caroll(Away vs Arsenal)
    Thanks

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      C

    2. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      You don't rate Jakupovic?

      1. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Oh I assume you have him aswell. I thought you meant robertson was less good of an option because it was Jaku who was in goal

      2. Tabbara
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        yes i do, but always when i double up on a team in defense they always concede haha

    Heaton
    Davies Valencia Brunt Maguire

      If you are benching King then you know the answer.

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Cheers TM . I'm top of my ML but the guy in 2nd just won't go away . Sanchez needs to do the business against West Ham!
        Would you be happy with who's benched?

    2. d3bug
      • 9 Years

    Robertson my highest scoring player. Haha

  23. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Agree with this starting 11 and bench order?

    Jaku
    Valencia, Brunt, Robertson, Bavies
    Sanchez, Eriksen, Firmino, King
    Aguero, Lukaku

    Grant, Barnes, Snoddy, Stones
    Bank 0.0m, 1FT

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Snodgrass last on bench, otherwise good to go

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years

      Yes

  24. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Who's keeping Agueroy McAguero Face?

    1. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      I think I am

    2. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      He's probably coming in for me once the Chelsea game is over. Not sure I'd be selling him now if I already had him.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Really could do with the cash......maybe one week punt on Vardy, then to Ibra/Kane?

        1. Sgt. Schultz
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          ditto

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

      Depends when Kane is back

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      other fires to put out

    5. Harper_
