Despite Manchester City and Chelsea going head-to-head in Gameweek 29, Fantasy Premier League managers should not be put off captaining one of their players.

Sunday's match is at Etihad Stadium, where Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) has nine goals and 50 FPL points in his last four appearances.

The City striker also has 15 goals from 13 home appearances this season, more than any other player.

Midfield contenders 

Kevin De Bruyne (£10.4m) boasts a similarly good record at Etihad Stadium.

The City midfielder has three sets of double-digit points hauls in his last four home matches.

For Chelsea, Eden Hazard (£10.7m) has goals in six of his last seven appearances, totalling three double-figure scores.

Attraction of Leicester pair

Riyad Mahrez (£8.7m) and Jamie Vardy (£8.7m) are also viable candidates as they welcome AFC Bournemouth to King Power Stadium.

Mahrez has a goal or an assist in nine of his last 12 Gameweek starts.

He fired six shots on goal against Stoke City in Gameweek 28, which no player could better.

Vardy has scored in five of his last six appearances in all competitions for Leicester City.

Both face a Cherries defence with only one clean sheet from the last 15 Gameweeks.

Lukuku back in favour?

A trip to Crystal Palace hands Romelu Lukaku (£11.2m) the opportunity to continue his improved form.

The Manchester United striker delivered 12 points in the 2-1 win over Chelsea, his first double-figure return since Gameweek 5.

He now has seven goals from his last 10 appearances in all competitions.

Managers willing to wait until Monday night to see their captain in action could benefit from Lukaku facing an injury-hit Eagles defence with only two clean sheets at Selhurst Park all season.
