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

    Fernandinho is box to box midfielder.

    Pogba is barber to barber midfielder.

        Pogba also is not worth 100m.

    Broght Capoue and Antonio in on wildcard. Delighted! Benteke(c) up next...

    Aguero getting injured was such a blessing in disguise. Got Capoue's points for two weeks.

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Aguero isn't injured.

    Ok from now on I'm never benching Capoue again

    1. Feeling_blue
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Going to have to bring in Fletcher so I have no choice

  6. devils advocate

    Capoue should be on pens with that conversion rate.

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

      he should play striker now ahead of Ighalo

  7. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    That's it, I'm getting Capoue as a 4th mid

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

      I am too, someone like Barry can be a good 5th mid now

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Definitely.

    2. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Think he's the man who'll let me get Aguero back:

      Townsend > Capoue &
      Ibrahimovic > Aguero

    Capoue ballon d'Or this year

  11. Jafooli
    • 14 Years

    Played Capoue, benched Snodgrass, knew Capooo would score 😎

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

      Good man

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      And Snod didn't score?

  12. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Capoue you crazy man. WIsh I had him 🙁

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

    Pick two for my WC:

    Holebas - some set pieces, strong fixtures
    Jevans - relatively poor fixtures but ... Pulis
    Pieters - strong fixtures

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

      Not Evans

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Pulis not a factor anymore, hardly kept a clean sheet all season!

    3. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Holebas

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

        That's one 😉

  14. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Can't believe I played Hazard over Capoue, such a noob mistake 🙁

  15. Railwayman
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Don't like how Ibra looks, playing too far from the box 🙁 I even drop him for Deeney, I need some money for my wildcard. Aguero, Sanchez, Sterling, Firmino, Ibra, Sterling... they too expensive to have them all.

  16. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Capoue won't keep it up they said.

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

      Haha

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

      They will be right.

      Eventually.

    3. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I have him and he wont.

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

        80% conversion rate now is it? He won't keep that up unless he's one of the greatest midfielders of all time.

        Still, Capoue owners have their fun this week. Fair play to those that backed him.

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

          80% from shots on target, mind. 4/7 when all shots are counted, which is "only" 57% conversion rate. Not that it was sustainable either.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Had just 7 points before this game and desperate - so happy with Capoue as s starter again but need Pogba, Ibra (C) and Shaw to pitch in some some decent points

    5. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Awful half from Rashford

    6. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Capoue? Seriously?

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

      He's no nacho

    8. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Capoue has officially become a 4th mid

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Agreed. Can't ignore him no more

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

      The thing about Capoue is... even people who are getting him as '4th mids', are planning to rotate him with Snodgrass, Chadli etc... Given how unpredictable he is, the only way you can reap his rewards is by having a 5th mid like Fletcher, and playing him every damn week...

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Rodwell is my 5th mid

      2. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        That's what I chose to do. Either play him or don't have him.

    10. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Will see what happens with Palace, but Capoue + Zaha could be a really good 4th/5th midfield combo.

    11. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      That Capoue goal almost guarantees another Lamela cameo. Had Capoue from the start - nil points.

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

        Same here. 🙂

    12. Arceus

      Capoue is the new Mahrez

      Capoue triple c next week v Burnley to make up for lost bench points

        Love this idea

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

          Love it when he blanks. 😆

      capoue repeating the mahrez lesson of last year: 5th mid should be your worst mid, not cheapest mid.

      Awful, awful viewing.

      Unless you're not a United fan and you own Capoue and played him.

        I benched shaw, played AOA with snoddy/cap - looked bad yesterday 🙂

      3. devils advocate
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I agree.

        We will never create enough chances as long as Rooney continues to play No.10.

        It's so frustrating to watch.

        Getting Capoues points off the bench is the only upside to watching this rubbish.

    16. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm playing capoue/snoddy from here on - Caz sold for DeRoon. (De Brune, Sanchez) Need the money for Lukaku/Costa/Kun

    17. Jamie_GAWA

      5 shots 4 goals, how??
