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.

    Of course he's nailed on and if City play like this, will rack up 6-9 pointers until the end of the season

      Chelsea had no shot first half and the only shot so far is the Moses shank

    Predictions for Milan v Arsenal game without Lacazette or Auba?

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

      Milan 2-1

    2. mdm
      • 14 Years

      3:0

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Milan is also crap.. so 0-0

  10. Rainer

    Kick someone, Otamendi!

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      yes.. just get him a RC plz

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

      Better be Hazard in the penalty area..

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Now that I can agree with. While he's about it, he can thump the referee, take all of his clothes off and run around shouting "Geronimo"!.

  11. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So Courtois on only one save?
    How's that possible.. City have been really floppy then!

  12. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    made wrong decision selling Otamendi last week, should have sold Alonso instead.

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      +1

    So when will City win title?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Against Utd.. 😉

    2. boc610
      • 14 Years

      Hopefully v united at old Trafford

    3. Rostah
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If both City & Utd win the rest of their games City will need 4 more wins after this

  14. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I dont think theres much wrong with the plan, which is obviously to have Fabregas get the ball and play it through to the 3 pacy front men. The problem is Fabregas' passing has been shite and the few times it has been ok, Pedro has messed up.

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

      And there again, Pedro ruins another attack. Hes just awful.

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Agree. They are one break from a draw. Too bad execution has been poor on the rare counters.

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Pedro....

  16. tm245
    • 14 Years

    Disastrous game from Pedro.

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

    Get off, Pedro!

  18. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    No English side is going to come close to City for years by the looks of it

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If only Wigan could make it to the premier league

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Certainly no team of English players.

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

      liverpool and spurs could get close

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

        Spurs no chance. Liverpool maybe

    4. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A few solid additions by Liverpool and they look the most likely to challenge

    5. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Liverpool is not far away.. except for their defense.. which is stabilising..

    6. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Arsenal ... no team has gone a season unbeaten.

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

      Liverpool will win next year.

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

      Utd. Give them another season. They were close IMO in the first game, but Lukaku mistakes cost them.

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

        Whaaat? Utd are miles off City. They've played some awful football this season I'm amazed they're as high as they are

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed. Reckon they will finish 4th.

  19. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Pedro has ruined quite a few opportunities.

  20. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Pedro & Willian must be subbed. They're so poor today.

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Correct with Pedro , wrong with Willian.

  21. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I'll take a City cleanie if some of their principal players and Azzard blank.

    1. Debauchy

      Yeah only Ota here

  22. Weasel51

    What % of top10k own Otamendi??

      About tree fiddy

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years

      very high

  23. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Context is a great thing . City are streets ahead of any other PL side. It's down to spending power . This league will become like Germany and Bayern.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      In fairness, Pool could challenge them next year. I reckon winning saps a team and they don't gave it the following year.

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I will be piling huge sums on City to retain the title.

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I disagree here. If it was down to spending power then Man Utd would have won the league this year as they pay higher wages than any other PL side, arguably the biggest spending power.

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You are living in fools paradise if you believe this.

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I am obviously not including teams outside the top 4/5.

          The top 4/5 can all spend the same and my point relates to them.

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Sorry but you're not right. City have the greatest spending power by far - just look at the transfer spending . Re wages there is a negligible difference with Man U.

            1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Sorry, but you’re not right.

              The team that has spent the most each year has not won the league.

              I think you are taking too much away from a masterclass from Pep. Yes they spent a lot, but so did others.
              City have won this year due to Pep getting that team to play at a different level.

              1. George Sillett
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                I didn't say that the team with the biggest spending power wins the league. Pep deserves credit yes but just look at the amount of money spent on that squad and then tell me who has matched it.

                1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  I know what you are getting at, I’m not trying to be difficult it’s just a difference of opinion.

                  It was when you said “City are streets ahead of any PL side. It’s down to spending power”.

                  My point is that Man Utd can spend just as much as City if they want which they have done, and more, over the past few years. I believe if Pep Guardiola went to Utd instead of City last season, then it would be Utd winning the league this year even if City spent more.

              2. George Sillett
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Part right part wrong. Pep spent very big money on areas where they were short. They get an injury or wish to rotate and a £40M + player comes on the pitch . Tell me another club in the EPL who can do that .

                1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  I can see what you are saying.

                  But my point remains because Man Utd could easily do exactly that if they wanted, but they have not had a manager with a strategy plan in the transfer window like City have had with Pep.

                  Utd have spent head and shoulders above City in recent years but found themselves not even in the top four.....

                  But I do see parts of your points, eg - Arsenal never spend enough so they have never done well enough. But on the contrary, Tottenham have never spent like the other clubs and yet they have been favourites in recent seasons/runner up.

                  1. George Sillett
                    • 10 Years
                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    I do agree that the money is in Manchester and that City have the vastly superior coach . But I do think that City owners have a "money is no object" attitude for the right players ( it was rather refreshing that they pulled out of buying Mahrez though ). I don't think that United have a hope in hell of matching them whilst Maureen is there.

    Sane has been really good again. Chelsea defenders are petrified when he begins to run at them

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

    Kante should be on the phone with his agent as soon as he stops getting sick on the bus - his salary will skyrocket.

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

    Who will score better next week?
    A. Sane + Willian
    B. Siggy + David/ Bernardo Silva

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

      B

  28. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years

    Rudiger passings have been catastrophic..
    Same to Pedro.

  29. Corgz Dark side of the Loon

    Take KDB and Aguero off and send them away for a week. X

  30. Rainer

    Any sign of Morata or Giroud?

    1. El-Kloppico

      8 years, 1 month ago

      Giroud
