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

      Sane?

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        don't trust Pep

    4. dunas_dog

      Sane

      1. Lone Wolf
        • 9 Years

        it looks like a no brainer

  2. dunas_dog

    If Mane out for a few weeks is getting Origi for Costa a bad idea to fund Mane to Sanchez if I also have Hazard ?

    1. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      A good idea

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Could be a shrewd move.

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Do you have Vardy? I had Origi and was disappointed. Pool may struggle without Lallana's attack and Mane's pace.

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Thanks but yes got Vardy.

  3. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Alonso > Bertrand
    Sterling/Siggy > Coutinho
    Costa/Lukaku > Ibra

    Which ones for -4

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      None maybe

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Sterling to Coutinho if you have Sanchez + Spurs mid. If not then Costa to Ibra.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Have Sanchez and Son

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Son... I'd do Sterling to Alli if it was me.

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Move Sterling

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I wasn't very clear all them moves are for -4 I have 2ft's

  4. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Koscielny was Arsenal's captain today. Guess who wore the armband when he was subbed off?

    That's exactly what's wrong with Arsenal. 😆

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Theo? 😛

    2. fedolefan

        Welbeck

    3. dunas_dog

      9 years, 4 days ago

      A 1

  7. Paddyburns
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    A: Mane, Llorente -> Sanchez, Origi
    B: Mane, Siggi-> Sanchez, Alli
    C Mane, Llorente-> Sanchez, Negredo
    D: Something different? And what? I'm getting in ibra for Costa in GW 32

    1. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Can you afford Mane -> Sanchez and Llorente -> Gabbi if fit?

      1. Paddyburns
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Yes, have 4,0 ITB.

        1. Ëð
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Definitely do Mane to Sanchez then await news on the fitness of Llorente.

    2. aleksios
      • 10 Years

      B

  8. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Siggy + mane > zaha + sanchez (-4)? Got exact funds...

    1. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Would have to see the rest of the team.

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Foster, jaku
        Cahill, walker, baines, bert, Robertson
        Mane, alli, eriksen, siggy, grosicki
        Lukaku, costa, llorente

        Wc still intact and will probably use pre gw32/33

        1. Ëð
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          I'd say siggy isn't a priority to get out currently. Await news on Llorente,

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Will 51 be good enough to qualify for Frequent Posters Cup?

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Sorry Post Fail***

  9. Dreams
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Best differential for 31?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Fuchs, grosicki

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Kun

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Origi.

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Perhaps Origi v Bournemouth? Or Gabbiadini v Palace if fit

    5. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Oh that'll be Origi

    6. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Kun. Most will sell him for Ibra
      9 goals and 3 assists in 14 matches vs Chelsea.
      Chelsea have started to concede goals and Kun is slowly getting back to his best.

      If you want ownership wise, probably Origi

  10. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Current lot:
    Heaton (Jaku)
    Walker Alonso Valencia (Pieters Evans)
    Siggy J. King Mane* Antonio* (Capoue)
    Costa Aguero Lukaku

    A. Kun+Mane* > Ibra+Sanchez

    B. WC to something like:
    Hennessey • Jaku
    Walker • Valencia • Alonso • Fabio • Yoshida
    Sanchez • Alli • Coutinho • Sane • De Roon
    Ibrahimovic • Lukaku • Gabbiadini

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      A is -4 🙁

    2. Ëð
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I think A looks good. Could you afford to lose Costa instead of Aguero?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Sadly not! Kun takes up far to much cash for 1 goal a game though

  11. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Pick one:

    a) Sanchez + Vardy

    b) Alli + Ibra

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      B

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Sanchez >>>

    3. Zebras
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      A for sure

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

    Heaton
    Alonso Fuchs Baines
    King Siggy Mane Alli
    Lukaku Costa (V)ardy

    Subs: Grant, Lanzini, Mawson, Olsson

    Other proposed moves
    A) Olsson to Gibson -4 (bench Baines/Alonso)
    B) Lanzini to Coutinho/Firmino -4 (bench Mane)
    C) Mane to Coutinho/Firmino -4

  13. Foozeball
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    What to do with this team?

    Jaku
    Walkers - Bailly - Alonso
    Alli - Sigurdsson - Zaha - King - Mahrez
    Lukaku - Costa

    Mannone, Llorente, Robertson, Brunt
    0 FT, 3.9 ITB

    Thinking of transferring Siggy -> Sanchez (-4)

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Not sure how essential sanchez is anymore

      1. Whazza

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

    (Pickford / Brunt / Fletcher / Amat)

    A) Mane -> Sanchez

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Yeah what if Mane is fit which means Origi is benched.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        That's why I want to wait till tomorrow...hopefully hear some mane news by then...

    Vardy(C) Costa Lukaku
    Heaton King TCarrroll Daniels
    1.1 itb FT used
    (1)Easy captain choice for me this week- any arguments?

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years

      Looking to Get Ibra for Costa next week maybe

  19. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years

    Start
    A) Alonso (MCI)
    B) Pieters (bur)

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      B

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years

      Very tough one but I would say Alonso since they are at home

  20. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Will 51 be good enough to qualify for Frequent Posters Cup?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Should be... Sigurdsson and Sanchez blank helps

      Llorente was popular, so depends on bench player I guess

  21. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    So I need 1 Kun BP to tie my head to head league...

    Win, lose or draw?

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      ? He's on 3

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Not final yet is it? Kun normally loses loads post game.

        1. Whazza
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Oh, think you're safe. Been a while since the game ended

    2. John t penguin

  22. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Very few players showing essential credentials at the moment.

    Don't know which way to look 😕

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Down

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Might poke me in the eye......

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      No one is essential, just have to play the fixture and form at this stage, short term moves and all... 😮

  23. kayss
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    DDG
    Valencia Alonso Davies Maguire
    Siggy Son Mane
    Lukaku Kun Carroll

    Randolph Mane Lanzini Chambers £0.7M 1FT

    £0.1M short to do Mane->Sanchez and Lanzini->JWP :'( What's my best alternative?

    1. kayss
      • 10 Years

      King my other midfielder. Oops.

    2. Jinswick

      1. kayss
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

  26. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Siggy to Sane anyone?

  27. KUNingas
