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.

      Courtois by some miles..

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Lloris is one of the most error prone GK after Hart and Mignolet.
        But Spurs DEF are good coverage.

    4. THFC4LIFE

      Lloris is a brilliant shot stopper but he makes crazy decisions sometimes

        All city. Chelsea no threat at all. City to win 2 nil .Sane and Aguero. De Bruyne and David Silva assists.

    6. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Is Conte trying to sabotage himself or something? Compare Hazard now to when they played away against Athletico in a 3-5-1-1 and it's staggering.

      1. makaveli123
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Atletico Madrid play 4-4-2 though

    7. Viper

      Did Otamendi get booked there, no?

      1. TheRealDog

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

        Wasn't even a foul

        Hazard just going down more than Stormy Daniels

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I don’t think they even called it a foul.

        Unfortunately you gave me a wrong tip.

        I wanted to make Sterling -> Mahrez, but then I made Sterling -> Arnautovic because of this: https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2018/03/02/the-community-round-up-235/?hc_page=7#hc_comment_17745338

        But it is okay.

    8. Hybrid.power

      With Aguero and Hazard in this game, 0-0 is the worst result

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years

        But you will lose the Hazard clean sheet point ?

          Ooof. That one point? Tough

    9. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years

      Going for 1-0 chelsea with the way things have gone.

    10. TheRealDog
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Zinchenko red and Otamendi yellow. Ref should bring his glasses for the second half.

      When did the Premiership become known as the Premier League?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        The Premiership is for matches played with an ellipsoid ... silly game

      2. makaveli123
        • 9 Years

        Mid 2000s if I remember correctly

      3. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Has it ever been officially called the premiership?

      4. MTPockets
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Never noticed that was an official renaming thing.

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

        Off topic but if Salah manages to put one past de gea next week, I think he’s got a real chance at breaking Vardy’s record for goals in consecutive PL games.
        He’s now on 5, man utd would be 6, then the next six are Watford, Palace, Everton, Bournemouth, WBA and Stoke!
        With the consistency he’s been showing and if he takes over penalty duties, he can do it.

        1. tokara
          • 11 Years

          i think He will score agst United

        2. Rik Waller
          • 8 Years

          Loooooong way to go

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

            Agreed

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Fair point Ragabully. Next week’s game crucial.

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

          Vardy - good times. Shame he became a rat and got Ranieri sacked.

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

        Redknapp whining about Chelsea's approach. Clueless, especially with Kante out.

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

          But they could play Giroud as a long ball option and put Hazard on the left instead of Pedro. Would work out the same and Hazard and Willian have a good understanding.

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Sorry but Brosstan is right. Giroud as a long ball option removes a covering player as Giroud has the mobility of a bus.

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

              Is Hazard doing that much covering? Plus Giroud useful at corners (attacking and defending)

              1. George Sillett
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 9 months ago

                Who do you leave out then ? Whichever one it is reduces your cover.

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

                  Less worried about the cover. City are still creating chances even with this set up. Hazard is your best player and you need to release him. When he runs with the ball you will win free kicks, but he needs the ball.

            2. Debauchy
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              Yep agree

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

          Chelsea are the champions

          You would expect better from them and one person doesn't make a team

          1. Debauchy
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah , you would like that Syd

        3. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

          So Chelsea are a one-man team?

              Was in the squad this week and with Martina's performance could easily come back in.

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

              I think Huddersfield v Everton has 0-0 written all over it....

              1. Sailboats
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 9 months ago

                Huddersfield last CS was last year!!

              2. George Sillett
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 9 months ago

                You would be right if Everton could actually defend.

        4. Zilla
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          I honestly have no idea what Conte wants to do in this match with no forward, not a single shot was even made.

          1. THFC4LIFE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years

          2. Sailboats
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Rhetorical question or what? Can't tell. Obviously play for a 0-0
