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

    4. Debauchy

  8. Jafooli
    • 14 Years

    Mane and Llorente to Alexis and Vardy seem impossible with no spare money! Well done to the big bank builders!

  12. Sweetboi

    Sterling > Eriksen (-4)?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      I'd spend 20 points to get that nob out my team. I'd spend 20 mil for somone to assinate pep

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Possibly.

      1. Ginola14
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Need him to get 3 to go through in the cup!

  14. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Thoughts about Benteke as a Llorente replacement?

    - Team in red hot form and Benteke finally found the net again.
    - Soton coming up and their defence is not impressing me.
    - Also has a double in 34

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Think Zaha is the better pick

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Agreed but got no room for him atm

    2. MTPockets
        8 years, 12 months ago

        No way

        1. Hurricane Gilbert
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 12 months ago

          Why not Benteke?

    3. wolves_simmo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      I've got the exact money to do this for a -4 before tonight's price rises.....Yes or no?

      Out: Mane & Siggy
      In: Zaha & Sanchez

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Just Mane -> Sanchez if you can afford.

        1. wolves_simmo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 12 months ago

          I can't, need the Siggy money to fund Sanchez

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 12 months ago

            Go for it!

      2. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Yup

      3. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Yes

    4. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Please pick, Thanks.

      A - mane/Alonso > Sanchez/Yohsi (exact cash)
      B - Mane/striker > Sanchez/Origi
      C - Mane/Striker > Sanchez/Gabby (wba)

      * strikers are Lukaku/Aguero/Costa and which one?

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        A

        1. HVT
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 12 months ago

          Thanks that move is certainly tempting...

      2. We ain't got no histor…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        only mane-cout sounds good

        1. HVT
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 12 months ago

          Has crossed my mind..

      3. Bojan ye gud ting
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        A

    5. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Lukaku + Mane+ Defoe > Sanchez + Ibra + Okazaki(-8) done

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Okazaki was a bad move

    6. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Captaincy for me this week is either
      A) Alli (swa)
      B) Sanchez (WHM)

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        B

      2. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        I'll probably go with B.

      3. Kevin Twine
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        B

    7. PlayPercentage
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Llorente -> Origi could be a decent move for the next few games. Especially if the Mane injury is not a short-term knock.

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Or Llorente to Barnes and change to 3-5-2

    8. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Henessey
      Yoshida - Valencia - Holgate - Alonso
      Fletcher - Alli - Pedro - Siggy
      Costa - Kaku
      ( Jak - Gabbi - Mane - Coleman) 1 FT and 3.9 ITB

      What changes to make to this team for the next GW? Really confused here and would appreciate some replies.

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Ignored smh 🙁

    9. We ain't got no histor…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Alright guys, used my wc this week but managed only 50

      Pickford Valdes
      Alonso Walker Valencia Fabio Holgate
      Sterling Tadic Sanchez King Alli
      Luk Vardy Llorente

      What to do:
      A) Sterling+Llorente- Cout+ Origi for a hit
      B) Alonso + Llorente- Bellerin+Origi
      C) Llorente-Origi
      D) Save

      Cheers

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        C if Mane is likely to be out for several weeks.

        I'm like a broken record

    10. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Fabregas nailed?

      1. Kevin Twine
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        No

    11. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      To do Mane to Sanchez, I need either Siggy to Zaha or Llorente to Borini ( or some other attacker up to 5.9 max!)
      What to do?

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Zaha all day

      2. Sweetboi
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        S > Z

    12. tisza

      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Sitting at airport and missed Arsenal game. ( been at wembley PUSB 🙂 )
      How did Sanchez play? his stats in the members section look rubbish.
      Is he still the best Mane replacement?

      1. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Yeah not good.Looked isolated mostly.

      2. Football Weekender
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        I wouldn't read too much into today. Sánchez rarely sets the world alight against other top 6 teams, he's a flat-track bully. We should see a return against West Ham.

      3. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Depends on the rest of your team. I'm avoiding this week. Perhaps getting next week. He was fairly invisible. Showed his best skills on the ball nearest his own corner flag. He's only worth the price if the rest of the team play their part too, and today they did not, they got lucky.

        Coutinho, Spurs mids, And City mids (for the weekend) are better options atm. Could change with the comeing good fixtures, but Palace and Boro could park the bus, which Arsenal often struggle to break down. I don't have faith.

    13. Ballistics
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Kaku Costa Kun

      Need 1 out for Sanchez and Alli

      I think Sane is massive value at his price so I'm considering Kun.

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Changes every day really.

    14. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Best captain this week?

      A - Sanchez
      B - Vardy
      C - Alli

      1. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        B

    15. Lone Wolf
      • 9 Years

    16. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Mane to Alli done last night.
      Llorente to Ibra -4?

      Heaton
      Alonso, Valencia, Holebas
      Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, King
      Lukaku, Carroll, Llorente

      Pickford, Evans, Fletcher, Mawson... 0FT, 6m ITB

    17. Clifford☯

      Mane, Baines and King to Sanchez, Holgate and Zaha (-4).
      Good moves? Or should I keep King and not do a -4

        Keep King

          fixtures are so bad though, think zaha will outscore him plus he has the double and by that point his price could be 5.5/5.9

        Im keeping King, not sure it's a good move , but gut prevails

          faces 3 of the current top 4 in his next 3 and then no double
          zaha has soton Leicester arsenal and a double
          surely he will get the 4 pts back, he looks on fire atm
