Saturday’s events end at St Mary’s with Manchester City the visitors to Southampton.

From a Fantasy perspective, it will be the Saints under scrutiny given that they offer us a pair of double Gameweeks to come.

Manolo Gabbiadini’s display will be the main focus with the Italian striker making his return from a groin problem after missing the last three Gameweek outings. Gabbiadini has scored four goals in his first three outings prior to the setback at Spurs in Gameweek 29.

The likes of Dusan Tadic and Nathan Redmond will also be assessed, while Maya Yoshida and Jack Stephens are also set to be key transfer targets in the coming weeks ahead of the first double-header in Gameweek 36.

For City, Sergio Aguero goes into this evening’s contest backed by 417,000 (9.4%) with the armband having scored in his last four Gameweek starts. John Stones misses out the visitors with Pep Guardiola confirming an injury pre-match.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Kun will smash it.

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sold him so probably.

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years

      I hope so!

    3. Jazz!
      • 11 Years

      Smashing several shots off target so far, yeah.

    4. Magic Bean

      Missed few opportunities already

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

      Score so far?

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

    Zaha or Townsend?

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

      Zaha imo

    2. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Toss a coin. Zaha the better player I think but for FPL points I think they're even.

    After 5 straight greens goinf from 350k to 94k I am on course for my 3rd straight red. Currently at 115k.

    Cant catch a break 🙁

  5. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    -8 for triple Palace?

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

      Nah

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

        Big Sam has got them playing like Brazil 1970, no?

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

          Yeah but i guess it depends on who you are getting

          I don't see any C's so you are looking at the attackers

          I'd say one is enough, 2 is pushing it

    2. YankeeDoodleDandy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Benteke and Zaha imo. No chance they keep a cleanie.

    3. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not for me. Points spread thinly between Zaha, Cabaye, Townsend and Benteke, with a fifth mid on pens. Bit of a lottery to be spending 8 points on for me.

  6. Rainer

    Nice preview ahead of DGW36 vs Arsenal. Team and system will be very similar, baring injuries.

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      this. v good way to looks at it

  7. umerlfc
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    C'mon Tadic!

  8. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    i think its so bad that because of his price, we forget how good this guy aguero is. when he's up for it, hes as unplayable as most of the PL Striking greats

    looks up for it today

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Pep has pretty much ruined him as an FPL player. His price tag just isn't worth it anymore.

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

        Is Pep making him miss these chances too?

        1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          his chance conversion rate is good. always had been. he just isn't allowed to hang about in the box anymore due to guardiola 🙁

      2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        agreed

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

    Green arrow so far but squeaky bum time with no City, Pool, Arse or Chelsea attackers.

  10. matiakez
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So Lukaku to ibra? Anyone else just not fancy it?

    West ham we are know are toilet and I might be wrong but doesn't Lukaku have a super record against them?

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not doing it. Will keep Lukaku as he's on form. I don't trust United in team selection or performance at the moment.

    2. HD7
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I was gonna do it. But now think Siggy... though he has a nice fixture too

  11. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    A decent week after two red arrows. 58 with Sanchez and Alonso to play.

    Not feeling it's worth taking hits for DGW players next week, too much rotation in ManU, Middlesbrough crap and Palace points spread about.

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

      Boro 10 clean sheets this season so far, worth a shot.

      1. Hect.OR 98th
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I'll get Valdes in for Foster and that's it for me. Already have Valencia and Zaha.

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

          Similar, I'll get Gibson for Brunt, have Valencia and Zaha too. Ibrahimovic is coming in as well though.

          1. Hect.OR 98th
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            For whom? Daring to get rid of Lukaku?

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

              I still have Costa lol

  12. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What to do with Siggy? Initially keeping for the (STK) game but has blanked in the last 5 gameweeks. Ditch for Townsend/Zaha?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Rid asap

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      keep. really dont trust any of the dgws in 34. they gotta come up with something. relegation battle

    3. henryleeds
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'd get rid for Zaha

  13. Ramboros
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku or Ibrahimovic (-4)?

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

      For GW34 & GW35, I'll WC GW36.

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'll probably be doing that for free. Not sure about for a hit.

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

        I think Byram and Noble being suspended while Cresswell and Reid still remains doubtful/unfit keeps me from doing it.

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

    43 after baps with Alonso Valencia Sanchez Ibra Origi left any good or red arrow?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

  15. Ógie

    Aguero trying his best to keep his place god bless him now that Jesus is nearing a return

  16. Sergeant Garcia
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez & Carroll > Townsend & Ibra? 🙂

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

      Sanchez at Home against Leicester
      So don't know about that

      1. Sergeant Garcia
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, tricky... I'll assess after monday probably.

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  17. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Kane upto 76% on FPL Stats already - maybe double rise this week again ? ... fill your boots before he becomes too expensive

  18. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero looks really on it today 🙂

  19. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Unnecessary rotation aside, is it that hard to say that Kun himself has been wasteful this season? He's in the games, started the last 2 months too. No-one can finish for him.

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

      Yep. Pretty sure his conversion rate is sub 15% in the PL.

      Very poor. And poor in the big games especially. Missed chances in both games against Chelsea.

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

        Yep. I remember the first Chelsea game, could have had a brace or hatty before Chelsea countered.

        Even in CL, he missed enough chances to win that Monaco tie. The player himself has to be blamed.

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

    Anyone going double Middlesbrough defence?

    Even one CS will give 8pts hopefully.....

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Just Valdes for me

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Just Gibson

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I've been seriously considering a triple up, could end badly.

    4. YankeeDoodleDandy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah I am. Brought in Barragan and Bernado with Zaha. Took -8. Worth it imo.

    5. Zebras
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Already on Gibson but might add Valdez if Grant isn't nailed, pending butlands return

  21. thericeking
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    are man city in any competitions apart from prem?

    why rest sterling

  22. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Two massive chances Aguero, misses them both. Not going to be for me this season. Well played others.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 17 Years

      What's your rank now?

  23. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Siggy ->
    a)zaha?
    B) someone else?
    I have 9.1 mill to spend, rest of mf is:
    Sanchez, alli, King, carroll

    1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'd be thinking 3 options assuming you still have WC and are chasing ML

      a) Eriksen (sneaking points)
      b) palace player >> townsend,zaha,cabaye for DGW and gw35
      c) Mkhi (good diff potential with dgw

      Then WC35 or 36

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
