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.

    I sold Sterling and KDB to Mahrez and Arnie this gw. Turned out ok so far but might backfire next gw.

    Manchester City today completed 902 passes - more than any other team has managed in a single Premier League game since 2003-04 (when Opta started recording the stat).

    1. FPL Blow-In

      Against the reigning champions...

      Gundo got himself a record too I think

        Not really. Pep will go for new challenge possibly italy/france after next year

        1. Aston-villain

          This does not mean that will not continue to reign

    5. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Wow and against the reigning champions makes that stat extra special.

      That's ridiculous

    7. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Several times though they would just knock it back and forth about 10 times between two players before deciding to do something else. It looked as though they were specifically trying to break that particular record.

    So in 3 gmws I have gone from 111p behind ML rival with the lead to 61 with DDG left this gmw and he got none.

    We have the same chips left I got 2m higher teamvalue.

    Crazy it can look possible to take him

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Easily possible

  6. DA Minnion (Former great)

    49 all out. Worst week in the last 12. Forgot how it feels to be disappointed.

  7. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years

    Stay clear of arsenal players (oba,mustafi) or run of fixtures too good to avoid? Thinking of wc in gw 32 🙂

  8. diesel001

    52 with DDG to go. Will take it given the average to date.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Same. -4 to factor in for me though. Went with Kane captain...

    2. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      55 with two points from Walcott plus probably two from McArthur, could be worse

  9. Fred54

        Ota deserved BAPS. Some of his tactical fouling was superb.

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

          Haha the irony that it cost him baps

          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Ok fine...just thought when two ppl have the same number of BPS then they jointly get two Baps...so I thought there would be 4 names listed...

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

            Ah ok. Yes 2 each for the second 2. Not sure if Silva winning goal baps been added though

            1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              Adjustments have been made yes

          2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            You're right enough, just that nobody gets 1

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

    What to do with Sterling ?

    That Silva goal hasn't helped as he played well.

    Can we have an updates hot topic mods?

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      See what happens midweek. Hopefully we'll know more by then

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

        Still going to be up in the air though? What if he starts. Then we wonder if he will start at weekend

        1. Bad Kompany
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Can only wait and see. I'll most likely keep as I can see them dismantling Stoke

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

      second fiddle to Silva now imo

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

        Differenr positions mate. He will come for bernardo

        1. Bad Kompany
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          It's Bernardo Silva...

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

            You wrote the same thing nutcase

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam

      Am keeping one more wekk

    4. yemzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Unless I know 100% that he won't start, i'm keeping. Too risky to sell before stoke

    5. HNI
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Well no point removing before stoke now. Pre arsenal was good time to remove. Pre chelsea was ok time. Now it will be plain stupid

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

        Your both right. Guessing we may have to absorb a drop or 2. Value was only the reason I kept him. The irony 🙂

  13. threeputt

    Well that was boring, never thought I'd be watching tic-a-tac in English football

    Otamendi and Dunk on my bench.

    Love this game.

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Painful mate

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

      Dunk was always going to be on your bench . No sane player would start him willingly but I feel you with the Ota benching.

  15. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    If only Milivojevic is rested tomorrow so that Dunk comes as sub for Sterling. But it won't happen 🙁
    Played him last week, returned me with OG. And now he is benched and scored. He is such a troll.

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

      Bad luck !

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 9 Years

        🙁

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

      Milivio is last person to get benched. But dint worry smalling is very poor and cpl one of those clubs who get most penos. I think a hard fought 2-1 win for Manutd

      1. *Reformed-Character*
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Smalling is very poor ? Are you alright ?

      2. AzzaroMax99
        • 9 Years

        Well I hope that it is possible. We will see tomorrow.

      Are Arsenal mathematically safe this season?

  17. Steve Stiffler

    what to do now in planning for gw31 this week? 1FT

    a) get everton defender
    b) get everton midfielder
    c) Wilson > King
    d) save

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

      Watch some highlights for christs sake before mentionjng Eve players to bring!
      See how sharp is benteke and maybe bring 2 from benteke/mounie/shaq for gw31

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

    I thought with benching Wilson, Mee & Alonso I'd be sure to leave points on the bench but it reads

    2, 2, 2

    Just a shame the players I played instead didn't do any better 😆

    10th season. Currently 400k and have been for several weeks. Really struggling this season.

    8 out of 9 top 35k season finishes.

    The goal now must be to finish inside top 100k and at very least to beat my worse season of 150k.

    All chips in hand.

    So looking forward to the blanks and doubles, and wildcarding out the gw 31 rubbish.

    1. Eddie

      I'm finding this season has been a bugger too. Every chance I take doesn't seem to come off and even relatively safe bets come to nothing. I'm hoping the next few weeks things start to turn around.

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

        Yep staying positive and actually in a battle to win mini leagues.

        All chips in hand as well? If so you using them the standard way that most are playing them?

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

      Good luck mate. It's very frustrating when thing's don't go as planned.
      My 11th season (with 2 finishes in top 3k ish) and 8 out of 10 finishes in top 35k ish, but unable to make that final push to top 1k. Sat around 60k this year but with all chips, so hoping for top 20k. You just have to review your targets and enjoy it (If that's possible).
      Top 100k well within reach for you.

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

        Cheers for the positive words. Same for you. Hope got hit that too 10k is surely in sight.
        A couple to top 3k finishes for me as well. The about of total players has made it harder as well.
        When I finished 1700th odd I'm sure there was only 3million players.

        An extra 2million players makes a difference and I have a strong feeling a lot are veterans of the game with a 2nd, 3rd team. Maybe that's me just being angry! Haha

    1. Viper

      The only player I'd consider is Aubameyang. Don't touch a defendee

        Thanks.

  25. Patch

    Awkward. Salah is playing as a first gamer next Saturday so I cannot cap him.

    Looks like it will have to be Kane.

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

      Why's that awkward?

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

        Puts me in a difficult position of kinda wanting to permanently cap him...rock and hard place I will have to stick with the two major rules:

        A) take no hit for a defender
        B) don't bother capping a first gamer

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

      More importantly he s away at united

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

        True I am hopeful of a 0-0 game...Robertson has really impressed me

        Nearly went the Burnley route but took a punt worth Liverpool defence

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

      You'll not cap him cause he is playing the first game but not cause he is playing United, makes sense.

      1. Patch
        • 8 Years

    Firmino, Salah, VVD, Shaqiri, Wilson, Tomkins are my players for gw 31.
