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, 4 days ago

      Yes?

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        hes awful when put out wide

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          West Ham the definition of awful right now

    2. Ibralicious
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days 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 :/

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Is this a joke?

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

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

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 days 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, 4 days ago

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

  2. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Q: Can Walcott cover Sanchez?

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      :lol here we go again!!

      1. Frank Koscielny
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        This

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Mustafi can cover Walcott

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

      Yes

    2. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Yes?

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

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

      1. Ibralicious
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        This ^

    4. KJT123
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

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

    5. Colonel Klink
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Happens all the time.

  4. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 days 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, 4 days ago

      Bendtner>aguero

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Bellerin has been horrific this season.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Easy to forget how young he still is.

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days 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
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

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

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Who then?

  5. AA33
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Aguero bossing the baps

    • Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Aguero(c) delivers

      Now where's my Sterling and Sanchez involvement?

    • SirStevieG
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Why didn't I captain Kun over Siggy 🙁

          No chance.

        2. Aiden Mcgeady 😆

          Sounds more like Fplvirgin

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

      8. Arn De Gothia

        welcome, i might fall out of it 🙁

    • ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Sane to run riot vs Chelsea

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Sounds essential.

      2. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Azpi will do much better than Belle end against him

    • Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days 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, 4 days ago

        No second thoughts because I never planned on getting him

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Fair enough. Most seem or seemed to be

      2. BadgersBoys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

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

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          I'd always rather see the form first

          1. BadgersBoys
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 days ago

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

      3. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 days 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.

    • Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Son to sane??

      1. Hooky
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        I'd imagine Son will start midweek

    • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 days 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, 4 days ago

        Yup he's a goner. Waste of space.

      2. Rhodes your boat
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

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

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 days 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
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

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

        1. boredjames
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          out wide playing for a team he wants to leave

      4. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        No chance you'll sell him before Ham.

      5. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

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

    • Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

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

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Is Kane back soon?!

        1. Rhodes your boat
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Not sure when but for rest of the season

      2. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Kane Ibra

    • Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 days 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

    • Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

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

    • Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Are folk benching Alonso this GW?

    • Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 days 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, 4 days ago

        Lukaku?

    • gorilla
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      seriously how crap is özil

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

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

    • ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

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

    • Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 days 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, 4 days ago

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

    • dark91
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

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

      1. gorilla
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

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

        1. dark91
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          So you are in favour of Liverpool or Spurs ? 😀

    • The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Need to replace brunt, mane and maybe llorente

      Budget 23.4. have FT

      Suggestions please

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Anyone?
        One is sanchez


        Need other two

    • Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      No way we can sell Aguero

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        I sold him ages ago

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Unlucky

      2. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        We were selling Aguero??

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Aye. Lots doing Aguero to Ibra

          Lukaku to I take for me now.

      3. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 days 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, 4 days ago

          Good luck

      4. dark91
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

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

    • ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Sane has 5 goals in his last eight appearances

      1. Aiden Mcgeady 😆
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

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

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Just backing up the facts with the facts 🙂

          1. Yank Revolution
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 4 days ago

            Hated to ditch him after his DGW...

    • F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Sanchez -> Sane for a -4?

    • Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Aguero to Ibra -4?
      No thanks

      1. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

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

    • ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

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

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        he my captain midweek for sure!

      2. BadgersBoys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Same.

      3. MTPockets
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Same

      4. KUNingas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        What happens in FFS cup if both have same score?

        1. dark91
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          OR tiebreaker

        2. MTPockets
            9 years, 4 days ago

            think it's rank

        3. Zlatan Time
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 days 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
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 days ago

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

            1. Zlatan Time
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 4 days ago

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

          2. gorilla
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 days ago

            total crap

            1. Zlatan Time
              • 9 Years

              Thanks for the constructive comment

        4. F4L
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

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

          1. Whats the Huth
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 days ago

            Not sure
