All eyes will be on Arsenal this afternoon, with the Gunners travelling to Old Trafford in the first of their double Gameweek fixtures. Meanwhile, Man City look to strengthen their hold on second place when they lock horns with Swansea at the Liberty in the earlier lunchtime kick off.

Swansea face a tough task trying to contain the league’s form forward, Sergio Aguero, when the Sky Blues pay a visit. The Argentinian marksman boasts eight goals in five starts for City, having registered a hat-trick and two assists last time out. David Silva has also delivered strong Fantasy returns in recent weeks, notching one goal and three assists in his last two starts. However, Garry Monk’s may just have an ace of their own up their sleeves, with leading striker Bafetimbi Gomis scoring a dramatic late winner on his return from injury against Arsenal. The former Lyon marksman tallied four goals in as many appearances and will threaten a City defence seeking their fourth shut-out in five Gameweeks.

Manchester United recovered from a three-match losing streak last weekend, recording a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Juan Mata (four goals in seven) and Marouane Fellaini (three goals in eight) account for the Red Devils’ only two goals in the past four Gameweeks, in light of Wayne Rooney failing to net in five. Olivier Giroud is experiencing a similar downturn in form for visitors Arsenal – having drawn blanks in four consecutive matches; Alexis Sanchez has partly compensated for Giroud’s demise, with three goals in five starts. Meanwhile, Aaron Ramsey has been the North Londoners’ most consistent player of late, delivering attacking returns in four of his previous seven outings. The Welshman is a slight injury doubt going into today’s encounter, with Fantasy managers eagerly anticipating Arsene Wenger’s teatime teamsheet.

    Would Walcott through the middle not be a good option for this game?

    All the Moyes signings have bailed United out this season.

    Fellaini,Mata and Herrera.

    1. Captain Shirokov

        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Not a LvG signing.

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Neither a Moyes signing and yet he has bailed us outseveral times

      Of course it doesn't matter how they're coached...

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        No. It's very simple. Players just are of some level regardless of conditions and tactics and all that mumbo jumbo. Manager buys the players, and decides who plays, and if he makes right decision, he's got the best players and he wins. So, if a manager inherits other managers well chosen players, it really is the former manager who wins the matches.

    Two games running Monreal isolated on back post and fails to cover his man

    United much better without Rooney....................

  13. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    That's pretty much perfect for the people with 3 Arsenal attackers. They'll be desperate for a goal 🙂

  14. Les Bleus

    Herrara and Young are incredibly underrated from an FPL perspective.

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      The thing about Young is that he will get you nothing for 90% of the season though.

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I had Young first GW! Had a great pre-season but LvG didn't like him for a while.

  15. Jay_

    Young is a bit decent lately

    1. Revival

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Should be better but they are good.

          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          They're a million miles away from winning the league and this is a sh*t league.
