After Brighton claimed a vital win over Arsenal at the Amex Stadium, Sundayโ€™s second and final fixture sees Manchester City entertain Chelsea in the 4pm kick-off.

The league leaders boast two of the top six captain picks for Gameweek 29 in Sergio Aguero (6.8%) and Kevin De Bruyne (2.5%).

Over their last four home matches, Aguero has nine goals and 50 points in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), while De Bruyne has three sets of double-digits and 45 points.

Leroy Saneโ€™s goal and assist at the Emirates on Thursday evening has had a significant impact on the FPL transfer market. The most bought player (235,000+) for Gameweek 29, the German international goes in search of a sixth 10+ points haul in front of his own fans.

Meanwhile, sales of Raheem Sterling look set to escalate as he misses out again. The most sold player in each of the last two Gameweeks, he was transferred out by a hefty 746,000+ during that period.

For the visitors, Eden Hazard arrives on the back of fine recent away output โ€“ heโ€™s racked up 40 points in his previous four on the road, thanks to four goals and an assist.

The Belgian looks set to start as a “false 9” today, with Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud named among the Chelsea subs.

Both Pedro and Willian start alongside Hazard, with the Brazilian, in particular, boasting fine form. Willian was bought by over 95,000 FPL managers for Gameweek 29, with last week’s opener at Old Trafford taking his tally to four strikes in the last three matches across all competitions.

    That Conte interview was emotional. Marcos Alonso was an ex teammate of Astori too. Must be really hard to play on the same day of hearing such tragic news.

      Really sad ๐Ÿ™

    2. Greenbackbøøg…

      They should have let him talk in Italian and then translated

      1. markmcr
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        They should do this for all foreign managers from time to time. Would be able to express themselves much easier

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Would end up about the same for us anyway

    More bps should be given to defenders who score a goal IMO. 6 isn't enough. Should be 8 at least

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      As a jammy Dunk owner 100% agree for the time being

    2. Brosstan

      ๐Ÿ˜†

    3. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They already get a 50% bonus in actual points over a forward, I reckon that’s enough.

    4. tm245
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think the word Bonus is a bit misleading — I used to think that someone doing something above and beyond their positional expectations should get an extra reward, but others explained that the system actually rewards doing your job exceptionally well.

    5. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      The bps system is in dire need of a tweak

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        People always at this but what exactly do you propose? Man in the stand can never work because of subjectivity, and if you have any set points based system based on certain criteria like what exists now, then it will always favour certain players given different playing styles.

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          always say this*

        2. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          This. I prefer man in the stands, but as a stats based system there isn't much wrong with it how it is.

    6. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They get extra points for the goal.

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

      6 points is ample 'reward'.

    8. Ramboros
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      So you want to decrease the BPS that they get from 12 to 8?

  3. Oven Glover
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Should be goals in this without Kante & Fernandinho.

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

      Where is Kante?

      1. Oven Glover

        Illness

    Kante "lying down in the team bus" with illness according to the commentator. You would think a multimillionaire could find a hotel room to stay comfortable.

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I bet that the team bus of a top team, owned by a Russian billionaire is comfortable enough.

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Much more comfortable than chasing shadows for 90 mins.

    2. Louis Cypher
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The illness was meant for Hazard but Kante intercepted it ๐Ÿ™‚

        I can live with that.

  9. Rainer

    Sane vs Moses will be a good battle.

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

      Sane should destroy him although Moses hasn't got enough credit lately

  10. Revival

    Got no City now without Sterling. Need something from Hazard and Alonso here.

    Haha, I had missed that Dunk comment: "Now I'm on minus three goals so I'm on the right track."

  14. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years

    Seem to rely on Hazard to save me at the end of every single week

    1. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Same and more often than not he actually does save me

    2. diesel001

      But he is playing false 9 today.....

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Still managed to score against Watford

        Although that may have been after Giroud came on...

  15. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Minute in which City will score their first goal?

    I'm going for 19...
