Sunday’s tea-time kick-off pits two unbeaten sides together, as Swansea City welcome Manchester United to the Liberty Stadium. The Swans recorded a comfortable 2-0 win over Newcastle United in their last home match-up but now face a United unit that’s yet to concede a goal this term.

Garry Monk’s new-look attack has carved through the opposition with consummate ease, placing second for attempts (56) and joint-first for big chances (eight) and shots on target (24). This forward impetus has been balanced by a rigidity at the back, as evidenced by the fact they’ve conceded the fewest shots inside the box (11) of any side.

As for the Red Devils, they’ve limited their opponents to just 22 shots and one big chance in three match-ups. Having kicked off the campaign with back-to-back 1-0 wins, they’ve done just enough on the attacking front, ranking in the bottom half for shots inside the box (19) and shots on target (11).

    Had Mane to Yaya -4 in my mind all week..... good job I didn't listen to my mind!

      still would do it, just transferred him out for pedro, nice little send of... did look very good, but not liking the fixtures...

    Should I pull the trigger on Azpi>Kolarov or should I wait?

    Have Mata + Fabianski.
    Mata scoring big today would be a good differential.

    THANK YOU SAINTS!!!!! That was so needed.

        Doubled my gw score

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Same here. 28 to 57 after BAPS.

  7. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    I have United in my Acca

  8. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Gomis and Depay playing, Williams and Shaw on my bench. 0-0 would be in keeping with this season so far.

  9. BantamPhil
    • 12 Years

    A problem with Pelle is he misses too many chances to get bonus points

    1. Nickk
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      That's very true. But, it's also encouraging he has so many opportunities. He only needs a good day and 3/5 shots could go in.

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      This. I owe Mane and Pelle and thinking I'll hold Mane one more week, but sell Pelle this.

  10. Reedy
    • 15 Years

    Behind the coach today - I benched Gomis

    Swansea 2 - 3 United

    Gomis x2, no assists Shaw x2, Ayew OG

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years

      Really hope that happens!

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Is that a prediction ?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        No that's the result 😎

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          When they call it fantasy football this is not what they had in mind 😉

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            😀

  12. Nickk
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    I'm probably going to wildcard for GW5.. Should I activate the WC now? Or after the internationals?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Now and catch some price rises starting tonight

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Now and play the price rise game to earn some money

  13. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    United's best XI this (assuming DDG goes)

  14. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    If Gomis scores twice I can be first in my ML 🙂

    I was joint 5th but because of Mane I skipped to 3rd. Chance of Gomis scoring twice?

  15. JJO
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    1-0 Siggy (no assist) would be nice

  16. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Depay -> Pedro a no brainer?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I did it for a -4 last week so hoping Depay does nothing so it has no impact on points I would have had/have. I want pedro long term and don't fancy Man U or their fixtures.

    2. bobinjo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Montero MIA ?

    3. cheeky_ash
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I think this one's going to be quite high scoring for some reason?

      2-3 to Man U...I can see Depay and Gomis getting on the scores her. ..well I hope so as I have both!

    4. davies
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Worth holding Pelle another GW?

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Going back and forth on it. Depends who you would bring in for him

        1. davies
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Wilson the obvious choice

          1. Swan - Villa Proud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            In that case yes. I own Pelle and WIlson, so i have a different dilemna

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

        Yes. If your desperate and want to trade do it. But if you need work elsewhere on the team I would keep him another week

    10. Shrimp On The Barb

      looking dangerous

    11. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      @Squawka: DONE DEAL: Manchester City have signed Kevin De Bruyne from Wolfsburg on a six-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

      1. Would an idiot do that?
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Wow!

      2. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Think I'll be waiting and watching him for now. Already have 3 City

      3. funnyoldgame

      4. Del Griffith
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        £59 million?.... and Chelsea sold him for £19 million a year ago

        1. Swan - Villa Proud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Supply and demand, it's a wonderful thing.

        Sweet 🙂

    12. Nickk
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      There's no point getting Targett in is there? Bertrand will be back for GW5?

    13. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Is Pedro going to stay at 9.5 forever no matter how many transfers in he gets, it looks the price guy know he priced him too high so has put a ban on him going up !!
