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.

    I remember when Aston villa were by far the worst team in the prem and just targeted their fixture every week towards the end of the season and it paid dividends.. Thinking of doing the same with baggies.. thoughts?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Sounds like a plan, might do the same with Arsenal

      • 8 Years

      Depends on New manager

      Their defence isn't as bad as villas was.

  2. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Son will start vs Juve right... And even if starts vs Bou he averages 2.1 points away from home.

    Get rid for Sane/Dilva?

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I think Lamela will start against Juve, he started the first leg and has experience playing in Italy

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        I think so was withdrawn early to keep him fresh to start juve.

        And that he will then be rotated v Bournemouth

    2. TheRealDog
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Thinking Son->Sané but will hold transfer to Friday/Saturday. Have six players for GW31 + 2FTs so should be better than bringing in a GW31 2-pointer

  3. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    For week 31 (pre WC 32)

    A Butland, Pickford or Lossl
    B Van La Parra or Choupo-Moting

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Butland, Parra

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Butland seems to have found the way to do well in FPL points, but I'd prefer Lossl.
      Not sure if I'd like any of VLP or CM.

  4. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Thoughts on these moves?

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Just looking at a starting player for GW31 is all on my current budget ....

        Probly do Sanchez & Ayew to Shaq and King for a hit then on GW31

        1. Rash
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Considered losing Sanchez this week?

      1. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years

        Are the points gained from free transfers or the hits?

    My team is utter rubbish. What would you do here? 1 FT, 0.2 itb.

    Foster Elliot
    Otamendi Coleman Alonso Dunk Mee
    Salah Mané Choupo Walcott Mili
    Kane Firmino Wilson

    Really struggling. I’m thinking maybe Wilson > Murray as it looks like he could be dropped?

    1. OldBenKenobi

      Ur team is not rubbish!

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      WC 32 and keep Wilson.

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

          Foster to Lossl - I know it’s sideways in the sense that both play GW31 but WBA are in free fall. Roll the other just in case

          1. Fantasy Gold
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 3 days ago

            Cheers but I only have one free transfer

              • 9 Years
              8 years, 3 days ago

              Oops.
              I’d still look to remove Foster

  11. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years

    Don’t get me wrong I’m grateful for my 6 points of the bench from Bauer but this Sterling thing is a real conundrum! Could really do without it ๐Ÿ™

      It’s a killer... value tied up in him... will he play v Stoke, the blank... but could score in any fixture and haul v Stoke...

          I sold before his 0.3 drops so for me Iv only lost out on 0.2 IF I bring him back in and for me Mahrez is the way to go for the foreseeable

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I went sterling to eriksen and ended up with Bauer 1st sub!

      Would have loved sterling + 2ft + 3 extra points.

  12. Tmel
    • 15 Years

    I have Robertson, Salah, Firmino, Shaqiri and Walcott for GW31 - worth using FH or should I save for GW35?

    1. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      35 imo

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      You've more than enough there with one or two more transfers

  13. Boom Xhaka-Laca

    Pope Adrian
    Alonso Maguire Robertson Duffy Smalling
    Salah Sterling Walcott Chupo Mahrez
    Kane Firmino Crouch
    2FT 0.1ITB

    Thinking Crouch and Smalling to Mounie and Zanka (.1 off Schindler) this week then next week use FT to get one more GW31 player.

    Thoughts?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Wouldn't be fussed about that. Probably very little difference between how Zanka & Schindler perform, sounds good

      1. Boom Xhaka-Laca
        • 8 Years

        Alright thanks

    2. @fpl_phenom

  14. We Will Klopp you

    Been absolutely roasted by a rival with Butland, TAA, Mane and Aubameyang this gw. Annoyed with Eriksen, Arnie & Vardy, Fab also seems to have stopped making saves...

    Fabianski (Hennessey)
    Davies Smalling Robertson (Lowton Simpson)
    Salah Eriksen Arnie Mahrez (Carroll)
    Kane Firmino Vardy

    I have 2.2m itb and think I'll bring Alonso in for smalling this gw unless anyone sees something better?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Do you not think risk Alonso rested for Palace game pre CL game v Barca?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Hmm, doubt it, Conte doesn't have the luxuary, they need as many points on the board as possible

    2. Boom Xhaka-Laca
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Looks good, I will probably captain Alonso so got to agree with you on the move

    45 after autosubs with DDG to play (so let's call it 60 all out)

    Thanks for waiting lads. Had business to attend to. If you could pass this onto anyone that was waiting but no longer online, that'd be appreciated.

    Good news story of the day! This is all true BTW - Top player so far this week is a Azamat Amangeldiyev.

    Team = Aza's Invincibles
    - Score 111- its his first GW ever and the sly dog only bench boosted.
    -He is now up to 5,126 in Kazakhstan league & 5,757,127 OR
    - as yet never made a transfer / 0.2 ITB
    - worst player = 1 point from Mustafi today ๐Ÿ™‚
    - 442 with Mane / Mahrez / Mo (c) / Son

  18. My Mums Athletic

    If I carry my transfer over from GW30 to 31 (ie 2 FT into 31), but Free Hit in 31....do I still have 2 FT into 32?

    Or said simply, does a free hit wipe any carried over transfers??

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      No only 1

        Stitch up....

  19. PlayPercentage
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    B. Silva is only 1.1% ownership. That makes him a gold-plated differential.
    Despite competition from Sterling, I think he is a favourite of Pep's and will get plenty of game time.
    Think about it. A Man City attacking midfielder who scores goals, with very very low ownership.

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Would rather Arnie. Massive rotation risk.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years

    2. Dannyb
      • 8 Years

      Wc 32, bb 34 fh 35 tc 37

    3. Vlad Tepes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Hmm okey looks good. I guess you want to use WC 32 because you are stacked on gw 31 players?

    4. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Personally
      Wildcard 32 to remove the Everton players
      Assumption of B.B. in 34
      Free hit 35
      Two free transfers and triple cap in 37,where Kane is chasing golden boot and spurs need 4th place

  27. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Simple question:
    What would you do?

    DDG
    Alonso, Otamendi, VVD
    Salah(v), Sterling*, Walcott, Shaqiri
    Kane(c), Firmino, Wilson

    Elliot, Ibe*, Dummett, Ibe*, Bauer
