All eyes will be on Arsenal this afternoon, with the Gunners travelling to Old Trafford in the first of their double Gameweek fixtures. Meanwhile, Man City look to strengthen their hold on second place when they lock horns with Swansea at the Liberty in the earlier lunchtime kick off.

Swansea face a tough task trying to contain the league’s form forward, Sergio Aguero, when the Sky Blues pay a visit. The Argentinian marksman boasts eight goals in five starts for City, having registered a hat-trick and two assists last time out. David Silva has also delivered strong Fantasy returns in recent weeks, notching one goal and three assists in his last two starts. However, Garry Monk’s may just have an ace of their own up their sleeves, with leading striker Bafetimbi Gomis scoring a dramatic late winner on his return from injury against Arsenal. The former Lyon marksman tallied four goals in as many appearances and will threaten a City defence seeking their fourth shut-out in five Gameweeks.

Manchester United recovered from a three-match losing streak last weekend, recording a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Juan Mata (four goals in seven) and Marouane Fellaini (three goals in eight) account for the Red Devils’ only two goals in the past four Gameweeks, in light of Wayne Rooney failing to net in five. Olivier Giroud is experiencing a similar downturn in form for visitors Arsenal – having drawn blanks in four consecutive matches; Alexis Sanchez has partly compensated for Giroud’s demise, with three goals in five starts. Meanwhile, Aaron Ramsey has been the North Londoners’ most consistent player of late, delivering attacking returns in four of his previous seven outings. The Welshman is a slight injury doubt going into today’s encounter, with Fantasy managers eagerly anticipating Arsene Wenger’s teatime teamsheet.

    Well deserved Silva.

  4. Bod
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    As a Ramsey owner but Sanchez as my captain do I want Ramsey to score more points than Sanchez?

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Rambo of course.

    2. A La Pelle
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty much everyone has Sanchez captain.

  6. Retrosynth
    • 13 Years

    That was such a composed finish. Hung his leg and then placed it perfectly.

  7. Captain Shirokov

  10. tm245
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    This confirms Silva and Mane to Sterling and Henderson for gw34 as one of my worst moves ever playing this game.

    1. TheCurseOfRaheem
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Ouch.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, I will need about 40 points from Ozil to make up for it.

        1. TheCurseOfRaheem
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          I did Sanchez > Sterling so I understand a little bit. Cost me quite a few points, money to spend and three transfers to rectify it. Also wound up with Giroud who I did not want, heh.

    2. A La Pelle
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      That and getting Remy went so badly...

  11. ILOVEBAPS

  13. mipola

  14. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Will be close between Milner and Silva for 2 baps. Probably Milner though.

  15. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Silva 10.0m next season for sure.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      It's worth owing him just for the pleasure of seeing him play. I hate watching him when I don't have him in my team.

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years

    2. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 6 months ago

        He will get 2

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            10 years, 6 months ago

      • Weasel Boy

        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        A) Ramsey to Silva

        B) Henderson to Bollasie/punch/siggs

        Thanks

      • Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Arghhh Silva. Maybe I should have sold Azarrr

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          I sold him simply because I can get him back next week for free but Hazard would need a hit.

        2. The Enlightener
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Thinking the same. We got screwed by a pair of stupid assists. F sakes. Nothing you can do about that nonsense.

          1. Nickofoz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            I know. He did play well but just those sideways passes he does to set up shots around the box

          2. Viper
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            You got away lightly with 2 assists. He easily could've had 2 goals so don't make it out to be a hard luck story! 😉

            1. Worzel Gummidge
                10 years, 6 months ago

                Classic response when you don't own a player 🙂

                1. The Enlightener
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 6 months ago

                  Lol at someone thinking those weren't jammy. Nothing wrong with admitting that, owner or not.

                  1. Worzel Gummidge
                      10 years, 6 months ago

                      An assist is an assist. Doesn't matter if it goes back, forward or sideways. If you pass to a player and they score it's an assist. Take your head out the sand and understand football. You think they are jammy then that's your opinion but I am sure most people who understand football won't agree and I don't even own him.

                      Plus he could have easily had a few goals.

                      So he passed sideways and that makes them jammy. I can only assume you are young or angry the assists didn't work out well for you.

                • 12 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

                He was brilliant today. Consider yourself lucky he only had two assists.

              • il Brutto
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

                Silva is highly underrated. Easily the best player at his position in the premier league.

          4. World XI
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Silva has earned exactly 12 assists in the last 3 seasons 😯

          5. Wilshere Knowledge

            Silva is FPL troll gold.

            Silva killing my hopes of a top 10 k finish

          7. The Machine
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Silva with a small chance for 2 baps. Milner with 3 dispossesions and silva with 1. Fpl usually deduct 1 or 2 random bps so a small chance

          8. Duke Silver ☑
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Silva 35 bps before assist. 42 afterwards. An assist is 9 bps. How does that work?

            1. The Machine
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              He might have lost them for something else

              1. Duke Silver ☑
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

                I smell hijinks tbh. Luckily Milner has had quite a few losses of possession.

            Anyone know Silva's top 1k ownership?

                Top 10k?

              He's in the starting XI for 55% of the top 10k.

              It's not hard to find!

            Selling Silva that GW he was carted off to hospital while on my WC was my biggest mistake of the season I think.

            Not sure what they gave him In there but his returns since have been unreal.

            1. super zlatan
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              Same. Might have to get him for the final gw. Will be for a hit though.

            Why don't you whingers own silva? Who do you have instead ?!

            1. The Bandit
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              Gerrard 😎

            2. tm245
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              Ozil.

            3. TheCurseOfRaheem
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              Was shocked so many sold him this week. He was wonderful today. Unlucky not to have more.

            4. Hairy Potter
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              Most likely an under performing Liverpool midfielder brought in for the DGW.

              1. Hairy Potter
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

                Or an Arsenal midfielder brought in this week.

          12. Forza

            • 10 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Silva is on the 'never sell' list with Hazard and Aguero then.

            1. Old Man
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              Not an unreasonable statement. He's one of those players you just have to stick with - it's Russian roulette constantly switching him in and out.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              And Sanchez

              We need more money at start of the season
