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

    With this lot?
    Foster
    Walker/Valencia/Maguire/Brunt
    Eriksen/Sigurdsson/Mané*/Alli
    Costa/Lukaku
    [Pickford/Deeney/King/Mawson]

    Would you:
    Mane, Costa, Siggy > Ibra, Sanchez, Can/De Roon -8

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Id just mane + siggy > sanchez + zaha

      1. FPL Wisdom
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        What and no Ibra (or Vardy?) why?

  2. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    A)
    Sanchez, Alli, Siggy, Zaha, King.
    Ibra, Lukaku.

    B)
    Sanchez, Alli, Coutinho, Zaha, King.
    Vardy, Lukaku.

    Basically Siggy+Ibra or Cout+Vardy?

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy and Ibra for me.

      Coutinho is nice for next GW but Lallana and Mane out could affect him, and Bournemouth have kept 2 CS in a row.

      Vardy only has 1 more good fixture before 4 tough away games.

      1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers mate, think that's the one I was edging towards

    2. Pique boo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy Ibarra

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

      A

  3. Sanguinista
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How long do we reckon Kos would be out for with his Achilles injury? Does Gabriel look like a safe bet?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not really a matter of how long. He's managed his achilles injury for a few years now.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Don't wanna go near with the way they're defending.

    3. Pique boo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Arsenal defesne just got worse I wouldn't consider getting him

  4. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    A) Mane, Kun & Llorente > Sanchez, Ibra & Origi (-8)?
    C) Mane, Siggy & Llorente > Sanchez, Zaha & Origi (-8)?
    B) Mane & Kun > Sanchez & Ibra (-4)?

    1. FPL Wisdom
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      B (your third option) no contest

      1. YoungPretender
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Haha, didn't realise I'd done that. But thanks anyway!

  5. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mane / Llorente -> Eriksen / Origi -4?. cheers

    Heaton / Pickford
    Walker / Alonso / Yoshi / Baines /Amat
    Sanchez / Mane / Alli / Siggy / King
    Llorente Lukaku / Costa

  6. RubberDucky
    9 years, 3 months ago

    First time I have been really lost all season.
    If I sell Mane & Lorente I have 19.2 in the bank.
    Who do i buy or keep?
    I have Alli,Has
    And Costa Lukaku.

    All ideas welcome.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ibra and Walcott?

      1. RubberDucky
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Is Walcott going to be a regular?

        1. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          You can also look at sane, tadic or zaha.

          1. RubberDucky
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Sane is tempting me, the cfc fixture is a put off tho

  7. Zlatan Time
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Tadic or Sane?

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sane

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

    What do we think of this wc team?

    Valdes, pickford
    Walker, valencia, Bertrand, barragan, Robertson
    Sanchez, alli, eriksen, zaha, grosicki
    Ibra, lukaku, gabbiadini

    0itb, grosicki and Robertson would be changed at some point to allow zaha upgrade after his double. Could also get origi as gabbiadini place holder this week and bench lukaku.

  9. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Do we know when Mane is having his scan?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Tomorrow I think

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years

        Thanks

    2. FPL Wisdom
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Going down in price tonight mind

  10. FPLAdmiral
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is Mane + Llorente > Zaha + Ibra worth a -4 chaps?

    2.5m ITB, 1FT. Open to other suggestions!

    Jakup
    Valencia, Brunt, Baines
    Mane*, Sanchez (c), Alli, Siggy
    Lukaku, Carroll, Llorente

    (Heaton)(Alonso, Snoddy, M.Wilson)

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, would give you a very solid team this week.

  11. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Which one of these three should I get rid of for Zaha?

    A) Antonio
    B) Barkley
    C) Siggy

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A cos of injury. Get rid of B too cos he's useless.

      1. fedolefan
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        A will be back next GW and he has a cracking run at least. B is useless but C is annoying me. Their team is just so bad.

  12. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mane to Sanchez
    Alonso to Robertson
    -4
    Leaves me with cash itb to do Costa to Kane(when fit) or Ibra in 32.

    Appreciate any help. Ta.

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Or I could hold Alonso and ship Siggy for Zaha as the 2nd transfer.

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sounds a top plan

  13. Red or Dead
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is Sigurdsson to Coutinho worth it for a -4??

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nope

  14. Jakarta
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Strong dislike for Vardy, so here for some unbiased opinions.... Vardy in a 3-4-3 or Eriksen in a 3-5-2? 3.5 itb, current team below. Thanks

    Pick/Grant
    Alonso/Walker/Valencia/Brunt/Holgate
    Sanchez/Alli/Pedro/Siggy/Carroll*
    Costa/Lukaku/Llorente*

    Thanks

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Eriksen 3-5-2

  15. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    GW 31 - 1FT - 6.0ITB

    Heaton
    Alonso - Baines - McAuley
    Mane - Sigurdsson - Alli - King
    Aguero - Lukaku - A.Carroll

    Robinson - T.Carroll - Robertson - Ake

    Thinking of taking a hit for Sanchez and Ibrahimovic, maybe even a -8

    1. ChristoBisto
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Very similar team to me. I've just done Baines + Mane > Davies + Sanchez, but the herd is definitely doing Kun > Ibra instead. Just think Aguero will be even more of a differential worth everyone selling and had good fixtures after Chelsea. Ibra wasn't doing great before he got banned, Utd have mixed fixtures and going to be fatigued / rotated. That's my logic anyway

  16. Ratatouille
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Quick help please. Would you rather get Sanchez or Zlatan for GW31? Thanks

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez

  17. Zlatan Time
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Best defender under 5m (Not Gibson or Yosh)

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Bavies or Robertson imo

  18. RubberDucky

    There is a movie on Film 4 which is making me starving

  19. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Repost
    A) Costa + Snodgrass + Llorente - > Vardy + De Roon + Ibra (-8)
    B) Llorente + Snodgrass + Brunt -> Holgate + De Roon + Ibra (-8)

  20. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So a crap GW, but a 5 place rise up to 73rd

    Slowly slowly catchy monkey

    Team looks poor for Tuesday though

  21. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is it too risky to get Firmino over Cout?

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No but it's a bit lame. Firmino has been pretty disappointing most of this season from a fantasy returns perspective

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Firm has served me well
      The way it's gone this season too, it's probably his turn to score when we all get Coutinho

    3. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm just doing a 'go for the cheapest one and call it a day' and that's Coutinho

  22. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is a Lukaku to Zlatan for -4 worth it or a waste this week?

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Will you captain him?

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Nah Sanchez

  23. Swanny18
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero + Mane > Sanchez +Vardy for a -4

    Yay or nay?

    1. Ratatouille
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Probably keep Aguero

  24. Hasselbaink Forever
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Which Sanchez route do you prefer?

    Pickford / Foster
    Alonso / Valencia / BDavies / Pieters / Brunt
    Coutinho / Eriksen / Mane* / Siggy / Grosicki
    Aguero / Lukaku / Carroll

    0.3 ITB, 1FT

    A) Alonso & Mane > 4.4 (Yoshida/Fabio) & Sanchez

    B) Mane & Aguero > Sanchez & 7m striker (Leave cash to do Grosicki > Alli GW31)

    Cheers
