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

    What's the link for DGW37?

    Trying to find a cheap 5th mid with a double

    1. Crow
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Ward prowse should be your guy

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      It's not announced yet. Even WBA have a DGW.

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

      Most likely jwp

    4. Morph - Unbelievable Geoff
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Southampton, Leicester, Watford or WBA are probably your best bets.

      Other teams are likely to be: Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd, Spurs & Sunderland.

      (Basically add in all the remaining postponed fixtures except Southampton vs Arsenal).

    Should I do mane pedro lanzini -> sanchez zaha coutinho for -8??

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Keep Pedro

    2. Jönny
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Depends a bit on the rest of your team, but I like those moves in theory.

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

      -8 seems a bit much

    4. Slip it like Stevie
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Will moses be available this week so pedro can move to the front 3?

  9. Moens
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Is Walcott an option? or shall I spend cash on Sanchez? how did they both look today?

    1. Crow
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Good but the team is clearly falling apart

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        will still score goals though

      2. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        They looked much better today and should be on the way up in the next few fixtures at least, such thiking will cost you points 🙂

    2. Donhush
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Sanchez. Don't trust Walcott mate

      Tekkers

    2. Whazza

      well one of them is injured

  12. Jönny
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Evening all. Not a bad weekend in the end: back in the top 10k for the first time since GW8. Few issues to sort in my squad, though...

    Foster Pickford
    Valencia Davies Maguire McAuley Pieters
    Mane Coutinho Siggy Barkley Lanzini
    Aguero Lukaku Llorente

    Think I will make the move tonight, the question is, how many moves...?

    (a) Mane to Alli
    (b) Mane & Lanzini to Sanchez & Zaha (4 point hit)
    (c) Mane, Aguero & Lanzini to Sanchez, Benteke & Alli (8 point hit)

    1. FPL Mentor
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      sanchez alli and vardy if possible?

      if not. just sanchez and alli.

      1. Jönny
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Can't quite afford it, sadly - I have 9.6 for the striker spot if I'm getting Sanchez and Alli, and do need to spend 8 points to do so.

  13. BALOOO

    Worst GW ever.

  14. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Shameless repost

    Who is a priority for this week?
    A. Sanchez
    B. Alli (have no spurs cover)
    C. Both for a -8

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Both, but depends who you'd play if not.

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        A. Mane to Alli for free
        B. Mane to Sanchez for free
        C. Kun+Mane+Deroon to gabbiadini/Barnes + alli + Sanchez for -8

    2. Fred54

    3. Rian23

      sam problem for me

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Kinda depends on who you're taking out - Sanchez looks nice captain material this week.

    5. Jönny
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      A few of us in that boat, it seems... Very tempted by the -8 but it does mean losing Aguero, for me.

  15. Crow
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 days ago

    WC

    Boruc (Valdes)

    Walker Valencia Bertrand (Stephens Holgate)

    Alli Coutinho Sanchez Walcott Sane

    Vardy Ibra (Barnes)

    Gtg? Or siggy in for wally? Any input much appreciated. Cheers

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Why boruc? Pickford or jaku better value. Not keen on Walcott but rest looks good

      1. Crow
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Those two combine to get a perfect plan until the end of season

        1. Morph - Unbelievable Geoff
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          Pickford & Valdes rotate well too, and you'd have a GK for each of the DGWs.

  16. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Play one
    A) Brunt (wat)
    B) Holebas (WBA)
    C) Lanzini (ars)

    1. Sweetboi

      B

  17. Pat Bonner

    0.2 short of mane to Sanchez. Best way to fund it

    A aguero to ibra
    B siggy to sane
    C son to zaha
    D lovren/Evans to yoshida/Stephens

    1. KUNingas

    What do you think, guys, about Negredo? Will he score a goal or two in the next games?

    1. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Doubtful

    2. Sweetboi

      Boro attack is a terrible investment.

        welp, i'm looking for a budget replacement for costa.

        1. Sweetboi

    3. Rainer

    Would you use AOA is you had this starting defence ?

    Alonso (MCI)
    Baines (mci)
    Mawson (TOT)

    Benched forward is Gray (STK)

    1. suddenorgan
      • 15 Years

      Baines in (mun), but yes seems as good a time as any

  24. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years

    Big moves for a -8?

    Lukaku --->>> Ibrahimovic
    Mane --->>> Sanchez
    King --->>> Son

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Looks decent

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

      The last 2 only imo.

    3. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      I'd want to hold Lukaku with his two plum home games coming up. Mane --> Sanchez is fine. Not sure I'd be replacing an issue with another potential issue in Son...

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Better midfielder upto 8 Million? Already got Sigurdsson.

        1. Lawrø
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          Sane and Walcott could be really great diffs... even Fabregas although I don't think he's as nailed as some other do

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Not sure on losing lukaku. And son is only a short term move? Have you got wc planned

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Going to WC 34/35

        Any other alternatives to Son?

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 days ago

          Yeah slim pickings in that price range. Might get 2 or 3 games from son, or go zaha/sane/one of the saints mids maybe

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 days ago

      I only like the middle one tbh, if it can be done alone.

    6. FPL Mentor

    Choose 1 to play this week AND also 1st sub if playing llorente

    a) Llorente (I know he's a doubt) (H)
    b) Baines vs ManU (A)
    c) Morrison vs Wat (A)

  27. lasmons

    Heaton
    Evans - Alonso - Valencia
    Sterling - Alli - Siggy - San(C)hez
    Costa - Kaku - Carroll

    Robinson - Pieters - T.Carroll - Fernandez

    Costa -> Ibra worth a hit? Need to get him in sooner or later.

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 days ago

        In great form. Guess Barnes would fill in the weeks he's dropped
