    Interesting to see how much Foden will be in the game next season. Would love him to be around 8 million.

    KDB and Auba tonight. Only in now and not enjoying this match at all. Hope Donegal has Sterling :)

    No sterling for me I was glad he never got motm. I suspect most where on Jesus rather then sterling

    That’s fine with looking forward to a big session. I need literally a good 2 months off after this to relax and stop stressing and get some sleep.

    Deosnt help waiting till 12 for leaderboard to update every night.

    I'm 75th now with 6 players tonight. I'll be disappointed not to get a top 50 finish and beat Manual Man of course! Enjoyed the game anyway, I'll be back every year now.

    What's the prize for first place... 50k is it? I just logged onto the App but can see the prize breakdown.

    Edit, just checked again

    1st place, 50k
    2nd place, 5k
    3rd place, 1 or 2k I think.

    Fair old drop between 1st and the other two.

    You have 7 left to play. I have 6. Really need Martial to score big tonight. I'm 143rd. 1 transfer left.

    Last day captains will be interesting. I imagine some of the chasing pack will pick a more left-wing choice. I'd be on Dilva I think if I had him. Otherwise I guess kdb will be the most popular choice. Sterling still very low ownership what with so many people out of transfers or just can't do it budget wise

    I think if Donegal maintains the gap tonight, the others behind him will look to cover themselves. Not sure if I was 2nd and was 20 behind the leader and a couple of points ahead of 4th I would be gambling.

    Gap from 2nd to 5th is only 5 points, and only 15 points from 2nd to 8th. I'd say a few hail marys will be thrown. 2nd gets £5k. 3rd £1k. 4th and 5th get a games console. Nothing after that.

    If I was 2nd I'd be going all out for the win, I definitely wouldn't be looking over my shoulder.

    A city captain is the safe option but looks like De Bruyne will be letting Silva or Sterling take penos. Its not impossible for Sterling to get 4 vs Norwich to get golden boot so he's the best option I think. Pity I don't have him :-(

    True if I’m 2nd/3rd going into Sunday I won’t be playing safe i will be going all out to win it.

    There aren't that many differentials to be fair. Realistically everyone will captain a City player on Sunday. All depends on whether people have transfers left to get more City players in. That's your differential.

    It's not a case of playing safe, it's a case of picking the captain that will give you the most points. There isn't any other way of playing it.

    Have you worked many of the players that 2nd or 3rd own? You mentioned Jiminez, he has a tough enough final game.

    Depends on KDB playing. Certainly thinking about Antonio. TAA is also an option, good chance of a clean sheet and maybe more.

    No point stressing about it, just concentrate on your last captain now. The rest is out of your hands.
