We head to the Liberty Stadium for the first of two Sunday afternoon encounters as Swansea City entertain Middlesbrough in the 1.30pm kick-off.

Having served up returns in eight of his ten league outings since the appointment of Paul Clement, Gylfi Sigurdsson has been handed the armband by just over 62,000 Fantasy Premier League managers.

Tellingly, though, the Icelandic international was the most captained player of the top 100 heading into Gameweek 30, with 20 of those managers placing their faith in him.

All three of Sigurdsson’s double-figure hauls have arrived at home, though in spite of that consistency, he has managed just one 10+ points haul under the new head coach.

Up top for the hosts, Fernando Llorente – who was drafted in by over 84,000 FPL managers for Gameweek 30 – misses out with an ankle problem, allowing Jordan Ayew the chance of a rare start.

With a double Gameweek 34 – against Bournemouth and Sunderland – on their upcoming agenda, many will be running the rule over the likes of Gaston Ramirez and Alvaro Negredo as short-term picks for the run-in.

Yet with just a single goal in their last seven away matches, the Teesside team face a tough task to convince us that they are worthy of investment.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter
