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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

  7. Turbo Timo

    Capppppoouuu bench and Sanchez captain, these missed points!! 🙁

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I wasn't playing around pal

      I watched him in Ligue 1 and he was class and always had the potential

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        😆 I watched him there too and know he has always been class. Remember, he had just made the France team and was hyped to be a new starter before he got wasted in Spurs for incredibly dumb decisions to play Mason and Bentaleb ahead of him. But he also was about always the player sitting the lowest in midfield and despite not being anywhere near as bad in front of goal as some could have thought because of his last season 0% conversion rate, he was not a big time scoring threat. Now he's been converting his almost every shot. Good as he is, he is not going to keep that rate up for long. He needs to up his shot numbers if he is going to keep up that scoring rate, and I doubt he can do that at Watford.

      2. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        ...and there's some way from being a really good player to being the best player in the league.

    Note to self

    PLAY CAPOUE !!

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      😆

      "Capoue as 4th midfielder is not good enough" the basic thing you hear here.

      Tbh, his stats are okay, he does feature on my tables, they're just nowhere near the best in the league and don't warrant his crazy results. Not being utter rubbish, they can as well be good enough for 4th or 5th midfielder that can be played.

  10. S.Kuqi

    Sold Capoue few gws ago. Need to fix my error and get him for Özil

    1. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Did exactly that move last night, Kuqi.

  11. Richd
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Capoue still on my bench LOL.

  12. Boydinho
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Boydinho at £4.4M two seasons ago was an absolute steal and he always turned up when needed but this man is getting there now. What a man!

    1. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Boyd only performed on the weeks where he autosubbed of most people's benches. Capoue is performing every week

  13. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Capoue bench 🙂

  14. Bleach †
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Sad that I started Capoue last week and this week, while others will get him in because he's their first sub :/

  15. Rich_20
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Awful goalkeeping...awful.

  16. StoneMountain
    • 10 Years

    Capoue first on bench. DDG and Shaw cs gone. Need a hug

  17. FDMS All Starz

    I actually played Capoue this week!

  20. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years

    Never captain, Never bench

  21. ANON.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Actually considering benching Hazard away at Arsenal for Capoue next week

  22. bennyp
    • 11 Years

    Wow... can't believe i played capoue and he scored... hah xD

  23. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Already decided on it but this adds weight. Capoue is a perfectly capable 4th mid, and I'll be starting him for the foreseeable future.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      4 goals from 5 shots on target though.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Indeed, this worries me too, but with those fixtures, we might give him a chance no?

      2. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Sounds like he's clinical to me.

        I'm almost certain that was similar to when Yaya had his phenomenal season (at least early on, he had a huge conversion rate).

  24. S.Agueroooooo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Hate that firm didn't play.. I called it playing 352 benching gray

  25. some witty pun
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    triple (C) capoue next week?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Essential.

    2. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      My rival has Capoue as captain

  26. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    ICYMI, Capoue is now a 1st Mid...

  27. Too Mane Men
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I don't believe this...

    1st sub again. I'll never learn.

    1. turd ferguson
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Lol it hurts so bad

  28. GARYNEVILLESTASH
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    First Capoue week, on the bench, but I'm still on track for 60+ after a -12 and the only other person above me in my mini league has 3 Man Utd defenders this week (for some reason) so I'm well happy. Also glad to see it's clearly not a fluke and I week forward to this nice Watford run coming up.

    capoue's price next season : 12 m
