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.

        This. The anti-Alonso smugness is so odd today.

    Shouldn't have listened to people saying "Sell Otamendi". Worst decision in a long time.

    5. Fred54
      • 10 Years

      People like me who benched him are bigger idiots.

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

        I wouldn't dare do that - yet I'm thinking about benching VVD next week.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years

          Bench him he’ll score

  7. Yozzer

    So out of Alonso Mee and Ota, I bench Ota. Kill meeeeee

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

      Who knows, could yet concede and get sent off

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

        Concede will do ;-).
        I went with cs odds

        Didn't expect chelsea to be this bad

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I benched Otamendi, too. However, he is my sterling replacement.

    3. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Played Alonso, brought in Sane, benched Ota.

      Was kind of hoping Niasse would not feature and Ota subbed in.

      a six

    2. Viper
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      An excuse not to player the striker you don't trust

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      A midfielder playing as a striker. For example, Hazard is playing as false 9 in this game.

      Also known as fellafel 9 in these parts.

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      A 'Falafel'.

  11. Steve Stiffler

    Alonso has been terrible the last 6 weeks, has lost his attacking attributes

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

      He was at the back post ready for Moses to pass to him right there. Still getting into fantastic positions for a defender, just hasnt happened for him going forward.

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        haha just seen that, dont think that ball would have sneaked through to him but hes getting transferred out after next week

    2. Point-one short

      Had loads of chances vs manu....

      1. Steve Stiffler

        7 years, 9 months ago

        how many points did he get in that game, oh yeah 1

    3. tm245

      Except for the supreme volley pass that Morata somehow couldn't bury last week.

  27. Brosstan

    Pedro has been atrocious. And not only this game.

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

      Was never a good player..
      Just got covered by stars around him.

  28. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Pedro has to be one of the worst players in the premier league.

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

    Anyone else happy in a deluded way when they make a little ground on the overall leader despite being miles behind?

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Yep. Gap down to 225 points now. Only a matter of time.

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

        Our hope is the leaders make a heap of transfers and forget to press the wildcard button.

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

      Yer. The leader of my ml is disgusting with the luck he's had. Most annoying in 11 years of playing. 237 overall and I want him to rot

  30. FC Hakkebøf
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Pep has the mental leverage over all coaches bar Klopp.. no one dares to play offensive against them.. which I find odd.. you can't beat them by parking the bus.. Them scoring a goal at some point is inevitable.. Klopp proved they can be broken down by making in it an open, offensive minded affair

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

      I thought Palace had the right idea to be honest. Lump it long - take out the midfield, take advantage of City's high line.

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

        Spot on.

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Anothet way to go.. but chelsea cant take advantage of that with a false nine.. it requires a target man like Giroud who can hold the ball physical, and await the wingers to overlap

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

      Completely agree. Even Bristol did pretty well when playing attacking football against City .Taking the game to them gives you a better chance to win.
