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

    do we keep Sanchez?

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

      Yes?

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        hes awful when put out wide

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          West Ham the definition of awful right now

    2. Ibralicious
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He has a double GW coming up. Him alone against 11 players day and day out might seem a slight stretch of expectations though :/

    3. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Is this a joke?

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Also - awful out wide? Not sure which Sanchez you've been watching for the last few years.

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          not awful as a player, but awful in FPL terms, a bit like hazard

          1. tm370
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            But he has scored so many points from out-wide...

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

    Q: Can Walcott cover Sanchez?

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      :lol here we go again!!

      1. Frank Koscielny
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        This

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Mustafi can cover Walcott

  3. KJT123
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is it possible to get a straight red card, even if you're on a yellow?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes?

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

      Yes but refs sometime seem to avoid the option to avoid controversy

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

        This ^

    4. KJT123
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      In FPL, lose points for yellow and the eventual red?

    5. Colonel Klink
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Happens all the time.

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

    Best Arsenal/City combined team?

    Cech
    Kolorov, Kos, Otamendi
    Bellerin, De bruyne, Fernandinho, Sane
    Jesus Aguero Sanchez

    Subs: Cazorla, Toure, Mustafi, Silva, Hart, Milner, Bentner

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Bendtner>aguero

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

      Bellerin has been horrific this season.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Easy to forget how young he still is.

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

        Henry on Bellerin: you have to be fast with your brain, not just your legs.

        It's not worked out for him, but that's coz Arsenal, not just Bellerin

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

      Cech and Bellerin's form is awful of late...they wouldn't make that team

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

        Who then?

  5. AA33
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero bossing the baps

  6. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero(c) delivers

    Now where's my Sterling and Sanchez involvement?

  7. SirStevieG
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Why didn't I captain Kun over Siggy 🙁

  8. TorresMagic™

        • Has Moderation Rights

        No chance.

        • 9 Years

        Sounds more like Fplvirgin

    5. Lawrø

      1. barracuda

        Not many of us liked that greenish thing .. well done

    8. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      welcome, i might fall out of it 🙁

  9. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sane to run riot vs Chelsea

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sounds essential.

    2. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Azpi will do much better than Belle end against him

  10. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    OK let me rephrase

    Any non-Sanchez owners having second thoughts about getting and/or captaining him for midweek?

    And if you don't captain him, is he even worth the price?

    1. Aiden Mcgeady 😆
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No second thoughts because I never planned on getting him

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

        Fair enough. Most seem or seemed to be

    2. BadgersBoys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm hoping he will be a different Alexis vs Wham

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

        I'd always rather see the form first

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

          True. Sorry, read that wrong. I have him already.

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes...It would take a -4 or losing Kun to get Sanchez in, Ive gone through many permutations and like Aguero, Sanchez requires either surgery or a big hit to make room for.

      I always liked Walcott as a mini-Alexis, so my eye is turned back to him.

  11. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Son to sane??

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

      I'd imagine Son will start midweek

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I'm going to sell sanchez i think

    He's not on it anymore and arsenal are completely terrible. On the wing and mostly out of the game

    He will do one thing right and then his useless team mate will mess it up

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

      Yup he's a goner. Waste of space.

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed but I'm worried he could explod at any time

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Plenty of cheaper options doing well

        Explosive yes but team looks terrible. He was exploding earlier this season as a striker

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

      Sanchez's next 4 games are against West Ham, Palace, Boro and Leicester.....good luck with that

      1. boredjames
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        out wide playing for a team he wants to leave

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

      No chance you'll sell him before Ham.

    5. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He will score 2 goals in the second half and you will get back to yourself 🙂

  13. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Pick two: aguero, costa, Kane, kaku, vardy, ibra

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Is Kane back soon?!

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure when but for rest of the season

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kane Ibra

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

    Knew Kun would have to punish me for selling him this week, at least I captained his replacement Vardy and the extra funds allowed me to get Alli

  15. Arn De Gothia
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mane and Costa to Cout/Zaha and Ibrahim? -4

  16. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Are folk benching Alonso this GW?

  17. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Romeu is on 9 x YCs.

    Glad I looked, think I'll wait out before getting him in..................

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Lukaku?

  18. gorilla
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    seriously how crap is özil

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      My possible transfer in & armband choice for this coming GW... :S

  19. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sane burned past Bellerin in that foot race for the goal. Absolute fire.

  20. Vinyl78LP
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is it my imagination or were Arsenal doing miles better this season when Sanchez was solo up front - why is he stuck out on the wing so rigidly?

    Swap Welbeck/Sanchez around, pace out wide - craft up front - there you go sack Wenger and employ me - i'll accept just half of his wages also.

    1. gorilla
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      he was playing the same way he does now when he was up front. watch some games then yo know

  21. dark91
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Would you rather double up on Spurs (Eriksen) or Liverpool (Coutinho)?
    (have Firmino and Alli)

    1. gorilla
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      yes, two home games comig up v bmouth and wford nd pool have major injury problems

      1. dark91
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        So you are in favour of Liverpool or Spurs ? 😀

  22. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Need to replace brunt, mane and maybe llorente

    Budget 23.4. have FT

    Suggestions please

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone?
      One is sanchez


      Need other two

  23. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    No way we can sell Aguero

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I sold him ages ago

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Unlucky

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      We were selling Aguero??

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Aye. Lots doing Aguero to Ibra

        Lukaku to I take for me now.

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Will be selling as soon as Kane returns... 1 goal for a 13m guy is not good enough for me

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Good luck

    4. dark91
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You can't sell Aguero if you don't own him in the 1st place 😉

  24. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sane has 5 goals in his last eight appearances

    1. Aiden Mcgeady 😆
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      OK calm down now. We get it. Sane is good

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Just backing up the facts with the facts 🙂

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Hated to ditch him after his DGW...

  25. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez -> Sane for a -4?

  26. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero to Ibra -4?
    No thanks

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He is staying no doubt. Sterling might require a hit though, painful to watch him play in current form.

  27. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Y'all are selling Sanchez, I'm probably going to captain him.

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

      he my captain midweek for sure!

    2. BadgersBoys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Same.

    3. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Same

  28. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What happens in FFS cup if both have same score?

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      OR tiebreaker

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      think it's rank

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

    Thougts on Wc?

    Jaku - Pickford
    Walker - Valencia - Sakho - Gibson - Yoshida
    Alexis - Alli - Coutinho - Tadic - Ndidi
    Ibrahimovic - Vardy - Gabiadini

    Many thanks

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

      do you have room to upgrade Vardy to Kane when he is fit?

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

        No, but could easily downgrade Walker to vertonghen to do so

    2. gorilla
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      total crap

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

        Thanks for the constructive comment

  30. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I think Ibra has to be a better choice than Sanchez for midweek captaincy

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure
