Sunday treats us to four matches, kicking off with a noon encounter at Vicarage Road between Watford and Man United.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic carries the armband hopes of many Fantasy managers heading into this one – the Swede narrowly topped this week’s Captain Poll off the back of four goals in as many matches.

Etienne Capoue has the chance to prove himself worthy of a fourth midfielder slot today. Having scored against Southampton, Chelsea and West Ham, the Frenchman is set for a favourable run of matches that could bring in the points.

Similarly, Odion Ighalo, Troy Deeney and Jose Holebas are also under the spotlight after all three got amongst the goals in last week’s comeback win over the Hammers.

    Don't hurt me Ibra! 😉

    come on ibra

  4. BbBb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Come on Utd, Rashford brace incoming

  5. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    So I don't think its possible run a team with Ibra and Kun, especially as a like a viable 3rd striker and balance in midfeld, my defence couldn't be anymore cut price!

    So yeah let's see what Ibra does...

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      It's pretty easy.

      1. BbBb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        But you'll miss out on lots of midfield potential

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Sort of, I obviously had both before, but there wasn't many heavy hitters firing in midfield and could rely on the mid to low price, now Sanchez and KdB have come to the party.

    1. faver
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

    2. BbBb

    Ibrahimovic hat trick!

      already?

  11. Belsunz
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    don't want to knee-jerk, but Chadli has Stoke and Sunderland away next. Could see him getting some returns in the coming 2 GWs... Thoughts?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Not a knee jerk. Simply a reaction to a player we all knew would do well, doing well. Much like us waiting for Kane or Benteke to score before the purchase.

      1. devils advocate
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        This exactly.

  12. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 12 Years

    Interested to see how Watford perform, got my eye on quite a few of their players.

    1. faver
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      looking at the fixtures and prices holebas capoue/pereyra and ighalo/deeney looks very well

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Exactly who im looking at 🙂
        Got capoue already.

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Pereyra, Deeney & Janmaat on radar

    3. Cantonas Demons
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I must say good call on captaining Lukaku. I didn't think he would score more than a goal or assist. Just hoping Ibra can match him now ! Whats your rank now by the way ?

      1. jia you
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Cheers man, 475.

        1. jia you
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 5 days ago

          How's your GW going?

          1. Cantonas Demons
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 days ago

            Ah ok 5 to play. Fell back to 33k. And capoue just scored.

            1. jia you
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 5 days ago

              Yeah, watching it here now, unreal another one for Capoue! Do you have him (on the bench for me, again)?

              1. Cantonas Demons
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 5 days ago

                Yea i benched him again and Holebas again

                1. Cantonas Demons
                  • 11 Years
                  10 years, 4 days ago

                  Had played Puncheon over Capoue so not as bad now and climbed back up to 25k. Wbu ?

              2. Cantonas Demons
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 5 days ago

                Are you droping Ibra and Hazard to bring in Aguero ? After watching this.

                Must see how benteke does now aswel first.

                1. jia you
                  • 10 Years
                  10 years, 5 days ago

                  It's looking likely if Benteke has a stormer. Ideally would like to keep Ibra for another couple of games though. I will wait a few days and decide then!

                  1. jia you
                    • 10 Years
                    10 years, 5 days ago

                    Utd have 2 home games up next Leic & Stoke (and Stoke look brutal at the back this season).

                    1. Cantonas Demons
                      • 11 Years
                      10 years, 4 days ago

                      Yea i kepted Ibra and Sanchez. Did Benteke, Hazard, and Masuaku to Aguero, Snodgrass, Robertson for a -4 hit last night as i was short by 0.2m. Keeping next two ft's until next int. Break. What about you ?

                      1. jia you
                        • 10 Years
                        10 years, 4 days ago

                        Was thinking of doing Hazard + Cazorla to Sanchez + Lallana but with Hazard dropping twice I'm now 0.1 short!
                        Thinking of not getting Kun back for the next 2 GWs (as risky as that is) as I'm pretty happy with my team for now.
                        Will wait until closer to the deadline to decide my move. Might carry one of my FT over and just do something like Hazard to Firmino.
                        Any suggestions?

                      2. jia you
                        • 10 Years
                        10 years, 4 days ago

                        I giving into the 'no City' pressure and strong talk of Aguero rising tonight so trying to figure out the best way to get him in and came up with this mate:
                        Benteke + Hazard + Shaw to
                        Kun + Puncheon/Zaha/Redmond(6.0m max) + Holebas

                        Team would look like this:
                        Foster/Pickford
                        Baines/Bellerin/Holebas/Evans/Amat
                        Payet/Cazorla/Snodgrass/ *** /Capoue
                        Ibra/Kun/Lukaku

                        What do you think?

                      3. Cantonas Demons
                        • 11 Years
                        10 years, 3 days ago

                        Yea that looks good to me, but i wouldn't consider Redmond. Puncheon for me as Zaha is very hot and cold.

                        Yea Hazard is the key one really as he should fall again this week. Ibra has to fall 3 times. I wouldn't be worried about rises either, just did my tranfers early this week as alot of people are WCing and its driving me mad atm as it makes me procrastinate with my transfers when i see there teams!

                      4. Cantonas Demons
                        • 11 Years
                        10 years, 3 days ago

                        Yea i considered Hazard to Firmino but avoided as the liv mids could wreck your head as they explode rotate and would never consider captaining them for that reason and will make you think you got the wrong one.

                        Going without Aguero could be dangerous. Have you played your WC ?

  14. LewanGOALski
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    what about going 352 WC team:

    Foster - Jakupovic
    Baines - Shaw - JEvans - Holebas - Amat
    Sanchez - Firmino - Sterling - Antonio - Bolasie
    Aguero - Lukaku - Diomande

    ??

    I bookmarked Ville Ronka's team but now it is showing an error?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      You're not worthy enough to have him bookmaked.

  16. Puyol Pants Up

    Ibra red card please (owner)

    1. Fred54

      LOL, excellent rotation with Aguero.

      Reported.

  17. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Going without Kun or Ibra again this week. Probably get in Ighalo or Deeney. Let's see how they do.

  18. Would an idiot do that?
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Any bets on this game?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Going for over 2.5 goals and BTTS

  19. Swans4life
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    I am going to wc and I was thinking is it best just go for 4.5 and cheap keepers and stick all my money up front has it only takes one goal and there is no clean sheets?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Indeed, this season, sod the defence.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I have Jaku and Pickford. They're doing a fantastic job for me.

    3. *sigh*
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Yeah I've had Jak and Pick for a few weeks now and they're doing well enough.

    Was Deeney holding a baby with a moustache?

      This

  22. *sigh*
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    One way to counter no Ibra? Have the two Man Yoo attacking full backs then downgrade to Lukaku and spend the extra cash on team balance.Fingers and toes crossed.

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Ibra red incoming

  24. FPL Puppy
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Correct me if I'm wrong;
    I know it's important to build up a good team and sale value, especially early in the season, but when it comes to Aguero - expecting price rises from him is just a bonus right? I mean, the main reason why we put him in our team is for points and captaincy right?
    I don't expect him to rise more than 0.1-0.2 in the next couple of GWs, since he will be price protected one week after they remove his suspension flag and he will most likely not be brought back by that many people (except for people at Fantasy Football Scouts). There are a lot of other attackers at the moment that are producing very well (Costa, Lukaku and maybe Kane after todays game) and casuals will more likely to be looking at them. And even if Aguero gets a hattrick next weekend, and his ownership will go up like a rocket, his price won't change until the price protection is removed.
    I think he will more likely go down even further in price if he gets an injury or another suspension, since most people who wants to bring him back will most likely do so during his price protection.

    It's just a thought that I had when I was traveling back from Japan, I didn't have much else to do on the plane... 😀

    1. *sigh*
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      You're right.Put Kun in for his points potential and the price rises should look after themselves.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Can't be reading that now, there a match on 😀

      1. FPL Puppy
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Haha! There's halftime in less than 45 min. 😉

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Kun ownership is 26% is and may double if he has a few good games, that will mean 700,000 buying him - probably enough to push up his price a bit

  25. ♤TeddyBear♤
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Rashford is going to rain on the IBRA parade and its going to be very annoying.

    1. Swans4life
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I believe you are right

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I forgot that's how it works. Rashford's playing, so nobody else can score goals.

      1. ♤TeddyBear♤
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Correct.

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Need Deeney to fall on Ibra and flatten him early on

  29. Revival

    • 14 Years

    C'mon Watford, stick it to Mourinho

  30. Dezrar
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Haz Sterling Firmino Snod Capoue
    Ibra Yakubu Rondon

    Considering Haz Ibra > Aguero KDB

    Already have Sterling too, convinced they are going to breeze the league & these 3 seem the least susceptible to rotation.

    Does anyone agree? Or too many eggs in one basket?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Yakubu was a cracking player once.
