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

    Got exact cash for mane and llorente to sanchez and origi for a hit.

    Mane may drop again tonight.

    Do I do it tonight before I know how long mane out for....if I wait till tomorrow could be priced out....

    Thanks

      I did Mane-> Sanchez last night - seems a oneway bet

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'd do it. Be surprised if he even plays vs Stoke.

      Not the best team to be coming up against with a dodgy ankle.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Good point....

        Will keep eye on fpl stats...

        Hopefully mane won't drop again

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

      If the rest of your team looks okay, do it. Otherwise, perhaps the FTs are more valuable

  2. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    How does this look like??
    Have 1FT. Brunt to Bertrand maybe ?

    Heaton (Jaku)
    Maguire/Alonso/Babies/Brunt
    Sanchez(c)/Alli/Firmino/Siggy(Tarroll)
    Costa/Lukaku(Llorente)

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Babies is a good dribbler

  3. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I removed Walcott and Aguero this week, obviously they both had to score 🙂
    I've been cursed by someone, this has been recurring since Christmas.

    1. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Can you just let us know who you're buying next 🙂

      What's your next transfer?

  4. RAFA THE GAFFA

    9 years, 2 months ago

    Out the cup cos of a walker no show!

    Lost my big head to head I needed to win!

    Dropped double my rank!

    Bad bad week!

    Time to WC?

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

    1. Prokoptas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      That's a tough week, but don't compound the problem with a panic WC Rafa.

      Just do Mane to Eriksen/Alli and Antonio to whoever your budget will stretch to.

    2. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Mane + Ant > Sanchez + Zaha?

      1. thunder_mike
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        If you can't afford Sanchez get one of Alli/Eriksen/Haz/Coutinho

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

      same here
      no show from walker and llorente. And 1pt cameo from sterling.out of ffs cup in first round

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I can do Kun+Mane > Ibra+Sanchez for a -4 and pray Antonio is fit?

      Sick of having no Alli/Eriksen and King/Costa/Siggy aren't great picks now.

    5. Morph - Unbelievable Geoff
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'd wildcard. You could change all your MF and GKs so it would be worth it.

      I used mine this week and got a respectable 55pts from this lot + I'm set for the DGWs:

      Pickford
      Alonso - Valencia - Yoshida
      Sanchez - Hazard - Mane [now Coutinho] - Alli - Sane
      Lukaku - Long [Gabbiadini placeholder]

      Valdes - Walker - Chambers - Anichebe

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Thoughts on this Morph? 🙂

        Hennessey • Jaku
        Walker • Valencia • Alonso • Fabio • Yoshida
        Sanchez • Alli • Coutinho • Sane • De Roon
        Ibrahimovic • Lukaku • Gabbiadini

        1. Morph - Unbelievable Geoff
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Nice.

          Ibra > Kane after DGW34?

          If you are planning to BB in GW37, you might be better off changing De Roon to someone with a double then. Not many good options in that bracket though; I was considering Kante before I went 3-5-2.

          Hennessey & Jaku is a bit light but I guess that's to raise money for elsewhere.

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Jaku I got at 3.9! Hennessey is for funds yeah and don't want Pickford. We have a rule of no Sunderland players in my main league 🙂

        2. Morph - Unbelievable Geoff
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Jaku > Pickford? He has a DGW37.

  5. Bojan ye gud ting
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Mane & Llorente to

    A: Sanchez & Benteke
    B: Zaha & Ibra

    1. My Name Is Prince

        Cheers

    3. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lol, why are you getting carried away by one good attacking performance by Palace? That game against Chelsea was just a one off case. It's still the Palace defence if you want to punt on them, stay away from their attack IMO. Cheers!

      1. Bojan ye gud ting
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        They have won their last 4 games. Zaha has 2 goals and 2 assists in last 3. Also, still not out of trouble so they need results and unlikely to keep clean sheets with upcoming fixtures (recent CS were V Watford, WBA, Mid & Stoke)

  6. The Hindu Monkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 2 months ago

    bottomed

    is snodgrass to Son too risky?

    no spurs cover for next two and can do straight swap

    did janssen go off injured?

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I replied

    2. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I think Son will start. Jannsen only played because Son had been away in Asia for his internationals

  7. djpete
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    No Lallana, probably no Mane, and people are bringing in Coutinho?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Liverpool do have other players you know

      1. djpete
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Just think that missing both of those two might have a bit of an impact.

        1. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Agree

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      i'm not

    3. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, a fair point, although it could go both ways, could mean Coutinho will now get a bigger percentage of Liverpool points, and if they continue scoring... But will they, that's the question, right?...

    4. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I was thinking of it - but also is Henderson missing this week?

      1. djpete
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I believe so

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

    Pick one please:

    a) Mané + Aguero > Sanchez + Vardy (-4)

    b) Mané + Aguero > Alli + Ibra (-4)

    c) Mané + Sterling + Aguero > Sanchez + Vardy + Eriksen (-8)

    1. Earn your Spurs

      a>

  9. Ninja Škrtel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    how about Mane>Mahrez?

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Great differential and stats

  10. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I am such an idiot. Got in Rosted for -4 and should have got Omoijfahdsd in Norway's fantasy.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

      Hit on first gameweek?

      How to check this?

      1. borat
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        check your ffs cup opponent from the article when the draws were made.

        1. T444
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Looks like I didn't get added. Ah well

  12. ANON.
    • 12 Years

  13. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years

      red

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years

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

      Yep , Nice Pop , Kun Cap also 60 pts if 3 baps , 58 cool too

  14. Deulofail
    • 10 Years

    If this is my midweek team, what moves for the weekend team (GW32)?

    Jak
    Valencia, Maguire, Brunt
    Eriksen, Firmino, Coutinho, Siggy
    Kun, Defoe, Origi
    Grant | Snoddy, Mawson, Rose

    Snoddy + Defoe >
    A) Alli + Gabbi
    B) Sane + Gabbi/Welbeck/Giroud
    C) Sanchez + Anichebe

  15. tambourineman
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    BPS update:
    3 - Navas, Mustafi (32)
    1 - Agüero (31)

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      🙁 out of the Cup

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      serious?

      1. McQueen
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        True.

    3. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Oh dear....

    4. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Good lord Kun lost 5 after game

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        So he was offside 5 times, or what? 😀

    5. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I think they need to tweak the bonus points system so the 3 points goes to the best player.

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        The problem with such a mathematical calculation is that it doesn't take quality into account...

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

        So Sane should have got 3 baps?

    6. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nooooooooo

  16. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Split Navas & Mustafi FFS and give just the 1 BAP.

  17. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Navas 3 bonus! Aguero 1

    1. Ninja Škrtel
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      ridiculous!!!!!

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Ridiculous! But I only needed one to win in the members cup so can't really complain.

    2. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      That should mean they need to start giving bonus points like in Sky, MoM and so on, the mathematical calculations obviously fail because it doesn't take quality into account...

  18. bulbuf
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    play

    a) siggy v spurs
    b)sterling v chelsea?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A. He's the boss and Swansea look reasonably confident, just unlucky today. Okay it's Spurs, but there's still the Siggy-Mawson set-piece combo

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Never bench Sigurdson, plus Sterling was piss poor today.

  19. Ninja Škrtel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    1 baps for Kun it is. how Navas got more is beyond me.

  20. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

    Thoughts guys???

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Navas 3 baps LOL

  22. The Head-Ake
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Please do not ignore this

    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.

  23. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Decided against binning Kun/Walcott for now. New plan for Sanchez:

    Smith/Siggy > Holgate/Sanchez (-4)

    Should I be worried about losing Siggy?

  24. kayss
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Ndidi a good differential for this GW? Thinking of Lanzini -> Ndidi

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Very

  25. Aiden Mcgeady 😆
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Foking Navas...

  26. JJO
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    F off
    Just give them all 3
    I saud this will happen

  27. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Navas getting 2 more baps then Kun...just when you thought the baps system couldn't get worse.

  28. The Butch
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Couthino or Firmino ?

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Firmino, gets 90

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Coutinho.

      Firmino going to be pushed out wide with Origi.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Fearing this could be another 0-0. Have no Spurs cover, but need to replace Mané with a captain option for this GW. Contemplated Özil.

        Or do I lose Lukaku for Ibra....??

  29. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Baines & Aguero to Valencia & (V)ardy for -4 is off to a good start 😛

  30. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sergio Aguero scored A hattrick at Chelsea Last season. Just saying
