Jose Mourinho returns to the Premier League with a sun soaked Vitality Stadium providing the backdrop.

AFC Bournemouth host Mourinho and his Manchester United charges in today’s early kick-off, with Eddie Howe’s men attempting to follow Hull City’s lead and rip up the script.

Certainly today’s meeting will provide a stern test of Mourinho’s work over the summer – a tight pitch, a tight ground and a home side bristling with pace via Josh King, Callum Wilson and new signing Jordan Ibe.

But United have Zlatan Ibrahimovic; the Swede heads into the match having been handed the armband by 21% of Fantasy Premier League managers. It remains to be seen if he can keep pace with Sergio Aguero who was backed by 34% and rewarded them with a 9-point return in the day one win over Sunderland.

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

    what do we do with 1.5 itb and vardy in the team. too early to jump on the ibra train?

    1. Blue&White85

      Fancy Vardy to score against Arsenal but Ibra likely against Southampton too.

    2. Are you Shaw?
      10 years, 2 months ago

      just transferred ibra in place of vardy

      i only do early transfers early in the season because of the mass transfers when someone plays bad

      expect Vardy to be at 9.9 or 9.8 before GW2

    How good was Ibra attacking that cross in the first half,

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't liked to have got in his way, that's for sure!

    Gradel was on bench today but came on and played well. Think he'll start next week?

  12. Mark-O
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Martial and Ibra three bonus each

    Wow
