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.

    Gundogan in the prem and in FPL is INFURIATING.

    1. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      It's Gundogan...

        8 years, 3 months ago

        He can score 3 in UCL but can't even get involved against this woeful Arsenal defence.

      2. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Am I missing something here?

        8 years, 3 months ago

        I mean he is cheap, so its not like i splashed much on him

            false, i thought he could be a decent option giving silva's troubles and such.

    What to do with Vertongen and Sterling?

  3. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Do Sterling to Mahrez now or wait? Have exact funds as it is.

  4. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling to sane or ramsey?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Seriously?

  5. Yozzer
    • 8 Years

    KDB blank is almost sensual

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Truly lovely.

  6. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I thought to sell Sterling or Alonso but actually it is Mkhi that needs to go.

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

      Give him the next 2. Great fixtures. That’s my plan anyway and if he does nothing he’s gone for gw31 player

  7. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Victor Moses > Sanchez done. Double spurs defence now with Davies!

  8. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    All of a sudden people realise that Sane is a good player...

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Rondonesque.

    2. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Best proper winger in the league

  9. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Fabianski, Ellliot
    Alonso, VVD, Ogbonna, Mariappa, Holgate
    Salah, Sterling, Hazard, Walcott, Milvo
    Kane, Firmino, Ayew

    a) Mili -> Shaq
    b) Sterling -> Shaq

  10. Jay_
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Was leaning towards selling Sterling but don’t fancy being without a City attacker for the big TV game Sunday, then MNF in gw30. If they played earlier both weeks, I’d happily sell him.

    • RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      This City side almost as good as the LFC 88/89 one 😉

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years

        Having to go back 30 years to find a good Liverpool team. My condolences 🙁

      2. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Think you mean the 87/88 team. The 88/89 bottled it at Anfield against Arsenal.

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          oops oh yeah

    • FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      How much of a differential is captaining Kane?

      Captain Poll is much closer than I expected. Not sure if it's worth the punt.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        He is a great choice.

      2. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Come now. Must be Kane this week

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

          Barely 10% between him and Salah. No point risking it.

      3. Thiga
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Punt or not a hattie awaits 😉

      4. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Can't be much if Salah doesn't blank. And he hardly ever does.

      5. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Go with the one you think will score the highest.

    • LSP
      • 8 Years

      My rival traded sterling for Sane(c)

          Ozil getting 350k a week for that is a crime. He's a con artist.
