After Manchester United’s devastating blast at Old Trafford, the Gameweek rolls on with a batch of six three o’clock kick-offs.

Once again there’s a rich cast of Fantasy talent on show, with Manchester City, Liverpool and Everton all in action.

Sergio Aguero is undoubtedly the headline act and, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s blank, his output at Swansea City comes under greater focus.

Brought in by more than 400,000 new Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of today’s deadline, 18% of all FPL managers back Aguero with the captaincy in South Wales.

The top 100 have certainly been quick to jump on the Argentine – 41 of them have immediately trusted him with the armband.

Much is expected of the Liverpool midfield. They host Hull City at Anfield with Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane heavily backed for points.

Romelu Lukaku is another key asset on show as he makes the trip to Bournemouth. Now found in 19% of FPL squads, the Belgian starts and is captained by just 4%.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Firmino hasn't even looked like scoring in a team who has scored 5 goals and he's playing FALSE 9.

    Useless.

      1. SirStevieG
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'm delighted with the performance, but Firmino is pissing me off lol

    3. Ravager
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm not watching but it's depressing. Both he and Ibra did this today

      1. Simon69
        10 years, 1 month ago

        No. Ibra had chances.

        1. The Tinkerman
          10 years, 1 month ago

            10 years, 1 month ago

        2. Ravager
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Was more leaning to the 'team scored big, but no points' slant. But yup

    I predict Lukaku, Benteke and Firmino goals in the next 10 mins.

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

    2. Turbo Timo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I hope so

  10. Cojiro
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Worse GW of the season. 3 points from whole defence. Only have 1 city player but thankfully it's Kun (c)

    1. Sif
      10 years, 1 month ago

      5, you've got bench points...

      1. Cojiro
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Nope, Amat on 0 Holebas injured. Fletcher midfielder won't come in

  11. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Oh my word

    Just seen Aguero's 1st goal

    Simply class

  12. Daniyal
    10 years, 1 month ago

    so for those with still no Liverpool cover who would u choose now
    between
    A) Firminio
    B) Coutinho

    mane's too expensive :p

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I would get and leave Mane in, prob Cout otherwise

    2. Venom Snake
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Who do you think?

      1. Daniyal
        10 years, 1 month ago

        owned firmino before
        tends to score when i dont have him :p
        so probably Coutinho then,cheaper aswell

    3. Kun Tozser
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lallana and Milner say hi

    4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1. Daniyal

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probs the same as last week. De bryune overworks himself at times.

      Needs to start subbing him as soon as the game is basically won

  16. *sigh*
    10 years, 1 month ago

  17. A Team Of James McCleans
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino, false 9 or false hope?

  18. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Triple up on Aguero, KdB and Sterling is working well

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      ... until the KdB injury. Sanchez in then.

      1. Weasel Boy

    2. adey70
      10 years, 1 month ago

    3. The Tinkerman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wow. nope. I have 12pts from 6 + Kun (C) and I thought that was bad, commiserations.

      1. The Tinkerman
        10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      please for him. He's a brilliant pro, always giving 100%.

      Would be easy for him to sulk at being put to LB. Not a bit of it.

      1. Total Foot 5
        10 years, 1 month ago

        yep agree. and rip moreno.

  27. Pratik
    10 years, 1 month ago

  28. Simon69
    10 years, 1 month ago

  29. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago
