After Brighton claimed a vital win over Arsenal at the Amex Stadium, Sunday’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 Sane’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 – he’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.

    Something fishy happening at Leicester City... Puel isn't a bad manager, for the life of me I can't see why he would drop Dragovic for Morgan where Drag was performing brilliant and fits Puels philosophies perfectly. Morgan must be bulging his way into the team... something happening behind the scenes surely.

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Who's captain? Wasn't it Morgan when they won it and last season?

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Morgan is captain. The captain is usually a popular and respected player in the dressing room, and you cant just drop him completely without taking a risk with losing part of the dressing room. Theres human psychology at play here, this isnt FIFA Ultimate Team.

      Dragovic will probably gradually get a bigger role in the team.

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I guess that's fair enough, but it seems strange to play with a substandard team to keep a segment of players happy - doesn't send a good message to the rest of the squad to drop a thriving player for a clearly worse one just because he's popular.

    3. DJ1000
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Don’t think the problem is Morgan. Thought silva very poor. Need Okazaki back

    What a contrast today was to City Chelsea last season at the Etihad

  3. @fpl_phenom
    • 10 Years

    Does Holgate come back in place of Williams during his 3 match suspension?

    1. dark91
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Could be Jagielka, not sure though

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Any Everton fans out there that could hazard a guess?

  4. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Schindler (CRY) or Francis/Cook (WBA) for GW31?

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Schindler

    2. Lecky Legs FC
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Cook

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 9 Years

      Francis/Cook. West Brom is a sunken ship.

    4. DJ1000
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I would go ake. More assist goal potential

      1. Coaly
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Can’t afford

    5. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years

      The odds suggest Francis/Cook

  5. Viper
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Has the comparison tool ever thrown anyone else completely?

    Arnautovic killed Mahrez on the comparison tool but ultimately killed me this gwk 😆

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Yep. It told me that Pedro can complete a pass.

      1. Viper
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Wow, must be something up with it

        1. Pasqualinho
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Or something up with Pedro.

    2. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Did you take into account home and away/ the fixture?

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I don't use the comparison and don't recommend it. I have no idea how to distil that many numbers into something genuinely useful.

  6. Stimps

    What to do with Sterling?

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I'd probably keep at this stage

    2. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I'm thinking of selling but I got him at 8.8. Stoke away he might not even play if he is chosen to play vs Basel and then a blank week followed by rough fixtures (City also only need 4 more wins...)

  7. @fpl_phenom

    What’s the Huddersfield back line guys... I’m confused by the mind played in their highest scoring defenders...

      Schindler (bonus) or Zanka

    Are all the Serie A matches postponed due to weather conditions or because of the death of Davide Astori?

            I am sure there are many more wrong things that they can fix to save money before considering this thing a waste of money 🙂

              Saving money by reducing bribes is false economy.

    I've got 40 points with De Gea to play with Milivojevic first coming off the bench in front of Duffy's 5pts. My prediction for tomorrow, De Gea conceding to woeful Benteke and Milivojevic penalty into row z.

    2 free transfers and.1 m in bank. (7 week 31 players plus Kenny )

    A Pope to Lossl this week and carry or
    B Pope to Lossl, Eriksen to DSilva for Stoke away Monday night and keep in week 32 WC. Gives cash to bring in couple of players for 31
    C Any suggestions?

    Current team

    Pope
    Hegazi Van Dijk Alonso
    Salah Eriksen Mahrez Walcott
    Kane (c) Firmino Wilson

    Adrián Ogbonna Choupo-Moting Kenny

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years

      Maybe for the WC, although Murray looks the best attacking option

  13. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    So many people said to drop Otamendi rather than Azpi. Since then, Ota has 11 points to Azpi's 3. Should have listened to my gut.

    1. Patch

      Dunk scored but Brightons fixtures are awful and West ham is home to Burnley who just recently secured their spot in top flight, that one screams 1-0 to West Ham.

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

        Burnley had very good attacking threat and cant expect a side shipping 4 goals vs swansea get a cleanie.

    Which move this week?

    A) Jones Hun> 2 Hudds Defenders
    B) Jones Delo> Hudds def plus Walcott

    If I don't do A this week then I get in another Hudds def take out Hun for Brighton and Kane for Mounie I would love to swap Wilson to Mounie this week.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah I've considered this. I'm thinking about ditching Son despite his haul, he's done nothing away and I have no value tied up in him. Ideally want a Huddersfield mid for the next 2 home games but Mahrez or Ramsey for a 1 week punt is very tempting.

        1. Karan_G14
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Son could still do well against Bournemouth. Spurs love thrashing them.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            VLP, maybe Pritchard if he recovers from his knock, or Mooy.

  28. Rik Waller

    Thinking of bringing in double Everton... Coleman and Walcott... madness?

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Coleman is probably the best defender to own in 31. Wouldn't bother with Walcott though. Everton horrific away and Stoke have tightened up as of late.

        Not much high hopes but can't think of anyone much better. Already have Salah, Mane, Shaq and Mili. Stanislas is the only other option

          I'd rather get Stanislas than Walcott

            Over the next 2 fixtures?

              yep

      Dont fall into the GW31 trap...everton are poor away & cant keep CS

      1. Rik Waller
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Have to pay attention to GW31 now though, surely?

        1. Shultan
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah 3 liverpool, shaqiri & stanislas/king & a hudderfield defender is what im aiming for

          1. Rik Waller
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            I've got 9 spots to fill

      He could but it would be the first time Son does something away from home in a long time.

    Pope
    Alonso • Otamendi • Dawson
    Salah • Sterling • Son • Walcott • CM
    Kane • Firmino

    0.1m & 2 ft

    A) Pope ➡️ Lossl
    B) Otamendi ➡️ Schindler/Zanka
    C) Sterling ➡️ Mahrez
    D) Sterling ➡️ Shaqiri
    E) Any 2 of the above or anything else?

      Only A- thinking same - see below

    2. Speédy

      Thinking A too. Butland the better pick maybe?

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Don’t have enough money for him sadly.

        1. Speédy
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          I am in exactly same situation,no money for Butland. Only other option selling Sterling. Lossl looks like the way to go,banking the other transfer.

          1. Karan_G14
            • 9 Years

            Don’t want to sell Sterling this week but he could be benched. Although if starts he will punish us.

    Goalies are Adrián and Pope. Would you

    A Play Adrián (BUR)
    B Play Pope (whu)
    C Transfer Pope to Lossl using 1 of 2 free transfers and play weeks 30 and 31 pre WC

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      My only worry is Pope can always come up with a double digit haul.

      I have the same combo. Leaning towards Adrian atm purely because Burnley will be approaching on the beach season and West Ham need to start grinding out results sooner rather than later.
