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

    Capoue bandwagon is now at critical mass. Just in time for him to start blanking again.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years

      Has only blanked once this season...

      1. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        And 30+ times last season.

  6. Puyol Pants Up

    9 years, 7 months ago

    This makes Firmino ----> Barkley a few weeks back even more painful 🙁

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

    Perfect so far... need a Valencia assist, via a Gomes OG.

  8. Sourabh
    • 9 Years

    Rashford's career is over

  9. sminkypinky

    Ibra owner. Noin capper. Wish for a blank right?

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

      No

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

      Depends on your mini leagues.

    3. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Never wish for a blank. I don't even own. I'm hoping a goal/assist and a yellow. So no one gets Aguero for next week.

  10. Dempsey
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    As a united fan, valencia owner and 1St on bench capoue owner, that hurt real deep

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

    I've had an unreal amounts of points on the bench this year.

  12. Rich_20
    • 10 Years

  13. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    He'll probably stop scoring now with all those good fixtures coming up

  14. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Capoue off to Real Madrid this January I think

  15. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Has anyone else had all Capoue's points on their bench?

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

      Apart from his blank.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

    3. Coaly
      • 13 Years

    He really is essential now

  22. Big Sum
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Who will be the new Utd's manager? Obviously Mourinho will be sacked sooner than later

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Rooney

    2. TheSteel

      simeone

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

    I can't be asked going through all my past comments where people laughed and made a fool of me about backing Capoue. There are plenty though

    Let's just enjoy just his greatness

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Can you back him again next week so I can join in with the laughing?

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Keep backing him if you want. The blanks will come unless he can score from 80% of his shots.

  24. CC22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Genuinely, joking apart, if on a wild card is it worth classing him as a 4th mid now and also getting another 4.5 mil mid in order to increase funds elsewhere?!

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      It might be worth a shot with those good fixtures coming up

    2. faver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      thats what im thinking about, nothing that -4 cant reverse

    3. Zareos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, that's what I'm thinking.

    4. People in Preston
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. That's what I did. He's impossible to ignore at the moment.

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I would, i'm getting Fer, Snodgrass and Capoue and playing the 2 with the best fixtures on any given week

  25. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    This is not looking like Utd's day at all

  26. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Gutted. Took Firmino out for Nolito for a hit...

    Capoue was my first sub...

    Unbelievably unhappy.

  27. Butters_lfc9
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Worth wildcarding this side or not?
    Foster
    Shaw-Stones-Kone
    Hazard-Firmino-Redmond-Lamela
    Costa-Ibra-Benteke

    Heaton-Evans-Friend-Capoue

  28. Patty
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Which looks best?
    A. Coleman, Payet, Coutinho
    B. Williams, Antonio, KDB

  29. itwaswritten
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    There is no luck anymore. HE IS ESSENTIAL.

    11 – Since his Premier League debut (Aug 2014), Daryl Janmaat has provided more assists in the PL than any other defender (11). Adventurous.
