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

  9. WVA

    Sane is so much better than Sterling

  10. panda07

  12. Rainer

    Did Arsenal not travel because of the snow?

  13. HNI
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Auba must be thinking what the hell I was thinking coming to this club

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He might be happier when Ozil starts playing again.

    2. FantasyNik123
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think it's gotten so bad I feel bad for Welbeck for joining abt 3 years ago.

  14. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Nothing from KDB yet :/

  15. HonestBlatter

    This actually feels like barca vs arsenal.
    Would be great to see mancity vs barca in UCL

    Love being an Arsenal fan. It's a win-win situation really

    If we win, it's great. If we lose, we have ArsenalFanTV

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You are an Arsenal fan?

      Explains alot really.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Specifically?

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Your confusing Kane stance and your general sense of soft bitterness, as oppose to hard bitterness say of a Liverpool fan.

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Nothing confusing, Kane is just overhyped for a striker that isn't clinical. His shot conversion rate is just 15% this season - less than Salah, Aguero, and even Firmino all of whom have over 20.

            No bitterness. I troll half the time and impart wisdom the other half the time. Only the wise can spot it.

  18. Rik Waller

    Do Arsenal players think Sane has the lergy?

  19. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How much fuel does the "Wenger out" fire need?

    You would think it's enough already 😛

  20. Punty McPuntface

    Sane looking good...very good

  21. WVA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Monreal > ?

    1. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mustafi?

  22. Lord Flashheart

    If wenger survives this week, he will survive a nuclear war

  23. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Feel sorry for Wenger, he’s been a legend and he’s a proud man who wants to leave on a high, but the longer he hangs on the more his status dwindles

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Deluded. 7 years ahead of the curve, 7 years on the curve, 7 years and counting behind the curve

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ruining his own legacy 🙁

    3. UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He could have left on a high after 2 FA Cup wins

    4. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Unfortunately he has filled his team with spineless players with no ambition.

      It's gotten so bad that the ones who want to win things, like Sanchez, are seen as toxic to the club.

      Not sure another manager will do much better with this side unless they get to spend freely.

    5. how now brown cow

      Might yet scrape the Europa league

  24. RashFraud
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Sane the go to Man City man after this?

  25. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Don’t you dare Ramsey!

  26. CRO KLOPP
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Only Ramsey looks good

  27. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    With the price of Silva & Sane, Sterling wont even be considered on WC 😉

    Time to sell!

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking the same

  28. FPL Scoop
