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

    Ibra non captainers hoping for a blank?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Yeah, it will help sacrificing him for Sergio easier.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Yes, no effective rank change if he blanks

        My thoughts

    3. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Think so. But I probably want a goal so I can gain 0.1 when I sell him. Need a rise

  2. Jamie_GAWA

    A) Ibra,Aguero,Sterling -4
    OR
    B)Costa,Aguero,Sanchez

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      The key decision is Sanchez or Ibrahimovic going forward. I want Sanchez and a Liverpool mid (fixtures are a big factor) and that's difficult with Ibra. Pretty sure I have to get Aguero in. None of my rivals have him.

      Can't call it.

    Looking forward to more Capoue bench points 🙂

    1. Vlad
      • 10 Years

      i must have been drunk or something because i left redmond on the bench and capoue in for the 1st time.. problem is i really dont remember doing it ?! daydreaming ?

          No tnx it seems I am making better fpl choices when I use less brain

  4. Lyonnais

    Ibrahimovic (C) but it would make it easier to drop him on the wildcard if he fails...

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Utd have 2 home games in a row coming up do

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      This thinking always strikes me as odd. Like, I hope my wife cheats on me so it will make it easier to divorce her.

      Hope for points, and still make the transfer if you think it's a smart move moving forward.

  5. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Valencia Capoue and Ibra (c) let's do this!

    1. faver
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Capoue starter or come off bench for Firmino?

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Firmino 🙁

        1. faver
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          Wish you luck then, its him or Pereyra to score I believe (hope for Deeney but i dont feel it);)

    2. Danstoke82
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Same.

      I need my GW rescuing in a big way. Here's to hoping eh

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        I'm on 16 points, you can't be as bad as that surely?

        1. Danstoke82
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          22 point (-4) last night so not far off

    3. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Literally the same as you

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        good luck

  6. El Libe
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Any thoughts about this WC team?
    I was thinking 3-5-2 without playing Amat and Diomande

    Jakupovic Heaton
    Walker Williams Evans Amat Holebas
    KDB Sanchez Antonio Walcott Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Diomande

    or KDB/Walcott ---> Sterling/Firmino

  7. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Why does Holebas write Cholevas on his shirt?

    1. faver
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Explain. Explain.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Thats his surname in greek

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        I've never understood that. If his name is Holebas, surely his name is Holebas wherever he is.

        I know it doesn't work like that, but it should.

        1. Ziro
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          This.

        2. Sánchez
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          Greece have totally different letters in their alphabet. H isnt in it.

          1. Sánchez
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 6 days ago

            Assume he translated what his name is to best sound alike in English

          2. Epic Fail
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 6 days ago

            Both those names have a H don't they? But either way, his birth name should be his name regardless of what country he is in.

        3. devils advocate
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          You know most Brazilians don't have their real name on their shirts?

          1. Epic Fail
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 6 days ago

            Aye.

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      fake passport

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        This.

        1. Davido989
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          Is that a new series? If you know what I mean.

          1. Epic Fail
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 6 days ago

            If not it should be.

    4. Greenbackbøøg…

      Greek pronunciation

    5. Ziro
      • 11 Years

      I learn new things here everyday. Cheers all.

  8. shirtless

    Capoue, Shaw, Ibra, Benteke(c) come on boys dig me out of this 21 point mess...!

  9. El-Kloppico
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Just a goal from Watford would do..
    Break the CS plz.

  10. LewanGOALski
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    thoughts on Rondon over Benteke as a 3rd striker, next to Kun & Lukaku, in a WC team?

    Enables the midfield of: Sanchez-Firmino-Sterling-Antonio-Capoue

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      No chance.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Would prefer deeney

    3. faver
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      find 0,4 for troy

    4. Qubit
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Ive looked at it, the only thing really putting me off is that west broms fixtures aren't too hot.

  11. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Luke Shaw hopefully will be one of England's best ever defenders. Great tackle just then.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      lol

    2. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      One of England's best ever defenders..is pushing it.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Tough when Phil Jones is England's best ever player.

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          After his performance yesterday I think it's safe to say that accolade goes to Jack Wilshere.

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 6 days ago

            Finally we agree on something. 😉

            1. Somalion
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 6 days ago

              Never before have I seen such pure talent 😉

  12. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Best Barkley replacement for the next few GWs out of these Liverpool MFs

    Lallana
    Firmino
    Coutinho

    I must admit that I am to not to keen on Firmino because he trolled me until I took him out on my WC

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Firmino most secure of those imo

  13. jam sandwich
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    a) Ibrahimovic & Snodgrass

    -OR-

    b) Lukaku & Firmino

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      B

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      B

  14. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Shaw and Mustafi couldn't look much more alike if they tried it has to be said!!

    1. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Big difference in height.

  15. BbBb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Valencia cs, assist and goal please with an Ibra blank and a Rashford goal... Not too much to ask right!? 😉

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      way too much

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Nope.

    3. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      I am hoping for Kane 5 goals and Valencia hattie.

      1. Ziro
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        But no CS because there are DeGeas and Shaws in the world way too much

  16. doublyG
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Help please! This is my team:

    Janu - Foster
    Valencia - Evans - Friend (+2 deadweight 4.0s)
    Antonio - Alexis - Capoue - Hazard (Fletcher)
    Costa - Ibra - Gray

    Which one of these would you do?

    A) Hazard + Gray -> Aguero + Iwobi (for a hit)
    B) Gray -> Lukaku

  17. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years

    Holebas rubbing his groin. Giggity

  19. Revival

    Watford almost score

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      They will hopefully.

  20. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Surely a yellow for Zlatan there for dissent

  21. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Is it just me or do Man U just not look good going forward. Ibra on thin ice if he doesn't bag me a hattie.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      ManU only won against less competitive teams until now.. Got a lot to prove..

  22. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    How many are sacrificing Ibra to get Kun and have a good MF?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Around 347 on here.

    2. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      I am considering it. So hard to transfer him out though

  23. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
    • 11 Years
