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).

      Old Rooney style.

    2. BenDavies
      11 years, 2 months ago

      lol

    3. Bob.
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not geat. Had a great chance to score and wasted it and gave the ball away a few times.

  2. Hibbo

    Hazard ownership is really going to crash over this international break isn't it?

    1. Zareos
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Undoubtedly

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Differential soon.

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Really not producing.

    3. Beautiful Game
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Gonna keep

  3. GuillermoDickero
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Very much considering

    Mane + Ozil

    --------------->

    Ayew + Pedro

    1. jbenny1107
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Ayew + Pedro

  4. Journeyman
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Only 6 more points from my entire team than the three players I left on my bench.

  5. TK74
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Memphis for Ayew. Is the Swansea double worth it? I'm not convinced

    1. copps
      11 years, 2 months ago

      fixtures are not amazing enough to own 2 imo

    2. BlzE_94
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Get Gomis, better options in midfield other than Ayew. One swansea attack is enough.

  6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Most CS prone team after City?

    1. Jose's Magic Omelette
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Southampton's new defence and Swansea both look primed for the clean sheets in gameweek five, only having Targett looks to be a big weakness in my line up.

  7. THE Wild Rover
    11 years, 2 months ago

    That celebration in embarrassing 😐

    1. Beautiful Game
      11 years, 2 months ago

      It's going on

    2. Rhinos
      11 years, 2 months ago

      he can bark and pee too if it means beating man u

  8. Calm
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Super win!! Hope Monk gets
    some credit for the tweak that changed the game

    1. THE Wild Rover
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not long ago everyone on here was calling him shite

      1. Calm
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Some Swans were also saying that when he first got the job! Proving everyone wrong so far 🙂

  9. HNI
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Play Deeney(SWA) or bring Wilson(norwich) for -4 considering price rises and form??

    1. BlzE_94
      11 years, 2 months ago

      bring in wilson

  10. chrisdale98
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Should I work on my defence (Kosc, azpi, oshea, cedric, baker)
    or do hazard to silva?

    1. BlzE_94
      11 years, 2 months ago

      haz to silva

  11. Del Griffith
    11 years, 2 months ago

    41 this week, got to be happy with that seeing as I had Coutinho on -2

  12. SuryaXO
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Shipping out Depay, please suggest between:

    A) Sanchez
    B) Pedro
    C) Ayew

    1. BlzE_94
      11 years, 2 months ago

      A or B for me, depends who else is in your team.

    2. Jose's Magic Omelette
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Ayew is the safest option.

  13. FPL Maldini
    11 years, 2 months ago

    32 points all out, captain blanked again. Bottom of my mini league.

    How do I turn this round?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      11 years, 2 months ago

      WC

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Early days.

    3. copps
      11 years, 2 months ago

      patience. im close to the bottom but not too concerned.

  14. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Looks like I beat the average for the 1st time this season 🙂

    1. mgilbert86
      11 years, 2 months ago

      what's the average?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        11 years, 2 months ago

        37 is the prediction

  15. sminkypinky
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I thought Gomis looked good again. And i like the direct attack of swansea.

    1. Beautiful Game
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Could have had a brace again!

      1. sminkypinky
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah. He created that first chance superbly.

  16. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 2 months ago

    @tm, any chance of 27 being safe in LMS?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Will probably be close.

      1. Beautiful Game
        11 years, 2 months ago

        What % do you leave each gameweek?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Bottom 5% until GW6 when it's 6%

          1. keundig
            11 years, 2 months ago

            How do you know when you have been eliminated? Do you just get taken out of the league?

      2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 2 months ago

        🙁
        it's my 3rd rd tie at Norwich. Where's Mark Robins???

  17. PGR
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Worth doing Depay to Pedro before the price changes? Or play safe and wait till the end of the international games?

    1. BlzE_94
      11 years, 2 months ago

      pedro will rise, depay will drop

    2. Blame the Ref
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Do it

    3. Meinhoff
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I am doing that right this minute, Depay is awful

  18. sambyy
    11 years, 2 months ago

    48 + Mane and Gomis bonus, gotta be happy with that!

  19. juanmata8
    11 years, 2 months ago

  20. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Finally crossed 50 points barrier this season!

  21. JJO
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Watching at these 2 teams I cant see more than 2 players from man utd that would play in Swa 11

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      not sure which 2 could fit the Jack system/gameplan?
      Pig definitely couldn't

      1. JJO
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah not sure I sould change anyone 🙂

  22. Swan - Villa Proud
    11 years, 2 months ago

    57 after BAPS and autosubs. Very happy with that and should crack 2M now.

    Question, have no idea what to do with FT now. THinking...

    a) Ozil->Ayew
    b) Mane->Ayew
    c) Pelle->Gomis
    d) a or B + C for a hit
    e) Nothing

    I have WC and don't plan to use it til later

  23. BlueIncognito
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts? 2 FTs. I was thinking Pelle out but he finally rewarded my patience today.

    Hart
    Darmian / Williams / Muniesa
    Sanchez / Payet / Toure / Ayew
    Pelle / Aguero (C) / Diouf

    McCarthy -- Targett, Richards, Hoolahan

  24. I Member
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Shaw and Targett on my bench. Why oh why did I start Richards and Williams.

    Mane and Gomis saved my GW though.

  25. Stannage
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hi.. .Any views on this wildcard team please.....

    Myhill McCarthy
    Kolarov alderweirald ward Francis huth
    Pedro Silva Sanchez ayew Westwood
    Kun Wilson diouf

    Does that look any good?...Thanks

  26. Sif
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I'm going to start setting my watch to Gomis.

  27. Shifty
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Judging from the posts you might think Ayew has 100% ownership.

  28. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Targett bonus?

    1. TorresMagic™
