Gameweek 28 finally comes to its conclusion as Arsenal and Manchester City square up at the Emirates Stadium this evening.

After claiming the Carabao Cup with a 3-0 win over their hosts on Sunday, the visitors could have a significant say on the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) standings with another victory tonight.

City boast two of the top six captains for Gameweek 28, with Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne backed by 458,000+ and 159,000+ respectively.

Yet both have toiled on their travels of late.

Although Aguero has struck eight times in his previous four league outings, you have to go back to Gameweek 17 – at Swansea – for his last goal on the road. De Bruyne, meanwhile, has just one assist in his previous four away appearances.

Elsewhere for Pep Guardiola’s side, Raheem Sterling misses out with a muscle problem.

The most sold player (268,000) for Gameweek 28, he also leads the way for transfers out ahead of Saturday’s deadline – with City entertaining Chelsea this weekend, a further 81,000 owners have parted company.

We’ll be looking to the Gunners, meanwhile, for signs of form ahead of a very kind upcoming run-in that could prove conducive to Fantasy investment.

After tonight, Arsene Wenger’s side travel to Brighton and host Watford before a Gameweek 31 blank precedes home encounters with Stoke and Southampton.

Priced at 6.9, Aaron Ramsey looks one to keep an eye on, with the Welshman’s average of 5.8 points per match ranked fifth among FPL midfielders.

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

    4. Patch
      • 8 Years
