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.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Not, 6 players plenty for gw31.

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

        Ok then.maybe one extra transfer for a hit?

  4. Vlad Tepes

    When is the best time to use the chips? What is your plan?

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      WC 32
      BB/TC 34
      FH 35
      BB/TC 37

      That's my plan

    2. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Wc 32, bb 34 fh 35 tc 37

    3. Vlad Tepes
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months 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
      7 years, 9 months ago

      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

  5. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Do you think Aguero will play against stk?

    Should I keep him or sell?

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      See what happens in th champions league, if he plays the full game I would be worried

  6. Rash
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    10th red in 12 confirmed 🙁 anyone with worse form?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah pretty much the same here

    2. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on the reds.

      One red dropping you 300k is worse then 12 diddy ones

      1. Rash
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Well in that time I've dropped over 400k

  7. Pompel
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Sold DDG for Begovic this GW. Anyone done a more stupid transfer ever?
    Don't know what I was thinking, and I wasn't even drunk ....

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      That is an odd one.

      1. Pompel
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Part of a -4 to get Kane. Was really set on shipping Alonso to Bauer....

    2. Rash
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Sold Kane to miss both hattricks and kept morata.. think that beats yours 😎

      1. Pompel
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        yeah. at least I got those to hat tricks, captained the second. Guess that was part of what drove me to take a hit to get him back in

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      That’s just.... wow

      1. Pompel
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        If not for bl**dy, Mahrez, couldv'e worked out though 🙂

    4. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      That’s rogue, or 31 blindness in a nutshell

    5. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Maybe you were not drunk but on drugs

      1. Pompel
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        ajh, that explains it, thise funny little pills 😉

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      In real life yes, fantasy would be the dream

  9. Horlicks esq.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    I should know better really but......

    If I save transfer this week, and Free Hit next week, do I get 2 FT's week after? Or is it like wildcarding and lose the FT. Im thinking the latter....

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Please note that when playing either a Wildcard or your Free Hit chip, any saved free transfers will be lost. You will be back to the usual 1 free transfer the following Gameweek.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        7 years, 9 months ago

        As I suspected. (also as it says on the website FAQ's no doubt) Honestly, the laziness of kids today eh.....Always grateful though, TM.

  10. I Member

    Play VvD (mun) or Mee (whu)?

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Whichever you think has more clean sheet or goal threat.

      Tricky. I’m playing VVD as I think he could get something either way.

  11. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    So who are the budget, bottom of the barrel players people are thinking of?

    I’m looking at a 4.5 goalkeeper like Losll or begovic, and a 5.1 or less mid, like ibe or Fraser.

    Told you bottom of the barrel

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Lossl is 4.6 but I'm probably getting

  12. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Any Bournemouth or Huddersfield players worth a go for gameweek 31?

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

      yes

    2. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Yep.

      Which ones is a tricky thing.

      Looking at Bournemouth as Albion are tragic and they have to try and win so could be open

  13. Regin
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    If I am planning to use Free hit in GW34 (wc already used) & dont make any transfer in gw33, then for GW35, i should have 2 free transfers, right?

    1. Spike ⚽️
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Look at TMs post above

  14. Horlicks esq.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Man City with the 18 point gap to currently match the largest total end of season difference between 1st and 2nd in Prem history. (Man United 1999/2000 Season)

    Scarily I think they may even get better! Which is hard to believe..bloody citeh!

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Imagine how they are next season, despite spending out their arse they’ve bought young talent so could be this dominant for the next 3/4 years.

  15. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    2FT and off the back of a decent week, where to use 1 ft?

    DDG
    Alonso VVD Lowton Dunk Kenny
    Son Salah Mahrez Arnie Allen
    Kane Firmino niasse

    If son isn’t nailed after champs league, move to siggy or Walcott or hudds mid?

    Wc in 32

  16. HD7
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    GW30:
    A) Save and play Wilson
    B) Play Ogbona, bench Wilson
    C) Ogbona to Schindler and bench Wilson
    D) Wilson to Mounie

  17. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Was going to post last night hope Dunk scores goal in the right net but didn't want to jinx it

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years

      Ha, me too. Might get sane in for next week.

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

      Me too, hasn't done anything away from home, feels strange ditching him after such a good return though, may hang on for 1 more.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Seems strange to me as with home form should play home v Juve and get rested away to Bournemouth

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

    Way things stand who would your ideal starting 11 be for GW31 ?

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      The Liverpool 11

    2. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Butland

      Robertson Bauer Coleman

      Salah Van Le Parre Doucoure Walcott

      Firmino Josh King Deeney

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

        Decent line up, no Mane or Shaqiri ? Id probably have a Hudds defender to enable Mane but Robertson has been looking very good lately.

      2. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        How many hits?

      3. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Schindler over Coleman and Shaqiri over Doucouré

  21. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    What would you do with this lot?

    Adrian Foster
    VVD Mee Jones Dunk Morgan
    salah Erikson Mahrez Shaqiri Walcott
    Kane Firmino Quaner
    1.0 itb 1 ft

    Thinking Jones to Christensen or maybe Dunk to Fernandez...
    boring stuff. Any thoughts?

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

      Sell Jones

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers. Held him too long first time he got injured should have learnt by now...

  22. JurgenRodgers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Sane has really impressed me last two, blank or not he will be coming in for the Stoke game!!

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

      Still not in the same league as Rashford

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Thinking same about David Silva

  23. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Which high owned players scored well today to get a rank drop? The have Otamendi. 22>25k drop. Was expecting a little rise

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I have Otamendi*

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

        Yeah it is odd

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        You probably got done by appearance points. KDB = 3pts, Aguero = 2pts, Murray = goal. All those small things add up. The average went up 9 pts today. So if you even got 1pt less than that I would expect a fall.

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I dropped 80k so count yourself lucky

  24. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Adrian
    Schindler Otamendi Alonso
    Walcott Shaqiri Eriksen Salah
    Deeney Kane Firmino

    Elliot Ibe Duffy TAA

    0.1 ITB & 1 FT
    Which one of these should I do with GW31 in mind?

    A Adrian > Foster
    B Duffy > Hegazi
    C Duffy > Daniels
    D Ibe > Van Le Para
    E Ibe > Milijoevic
    F Save FT

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I like D

  25. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    I really need Palace to score tomorrow to beat my HTH rival. Not likely really, is it?

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Nope, especially as I have De Gea,

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Hope not! DDG owner here

    3. Tazah
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      milivejovic scoring would be perfect

  26. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    How was Kun and Alonso today?

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

      Chelsea played a 22 man defence so there was no space for Aguero

      Alonso was at fault for the goal and pretty piss poor but so was every other Chelsea player

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers. Think I’ll need to ship Alonso soon

      2. Tazah
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        wouldnt say alonso was at fault, if courtois simply just stayed up would be an easy save..... alonso did his best to put off silva

  27. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    martial a good pick for wc team in gw32 or too rotation prone ? thanks 🙂

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

      rotation risk

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years

        thanks

  28. Spartac Mac
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Walcott, Mane or Sigurdson over next 3?

    (Have Salah)

    Cheers

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Mane

    2. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      7 years, 9 months ago

      Mane

  29. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Ideas on this lot? Looking to get a GW 31 player in.

    DDG - Pereira
    Keane - Dunk - Fernandez - Francis - Hunemeier
    Salah - Mane - Eriksen - Mahrez - Walcott
    Kane - Firmino - Quaner

    1 FT and 0.4m in the bank.

  30. TLF

    Who is likely to make way once Mooy returns from injury ?

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

      Danny Williams.
