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

  8. mutatedllama
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Ibra has been given the assist for some reason

    Can someone please explain why 3 United managers have seemingly refused to see what Fergie saw in his final year - just how rubbish Rooney is?!

    He must have a clause in his contract about playing time because there's no other reason he sits in this team otherwise. Completely pathetic!

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Agree. Play a 3 man midfield from Schneiderlin, herrera, Pogba, Fellaini. Rashford on the left, Martial on the right and Zlatan striker. It's not rocket science surely

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

      I think Fergie is just as at fault.

      Remember when they bought Kagawa and RVP? Remember how Kagawa was shafted to the bench to accommodate Rooney? Or when Rooney threatened to join Chelsea/City unless he was paid more money (and was subsequently given more money). Plus, Fergie's on the board at United now, and was on the board when they rewarded Rooney with a £300k a week contract. It is the higher ups at United who have protected Rooney, there is no a doubt in my mind that any of Moyes, LVG and Mourinho actually believe he's played well enough to warrant inclusion in the team. Maybe that clause exists, I don't know, but regardless I very much so point the blame at the board and the higher ups.

      1. U n I t e d
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        The only people that are at fault for Rooney playing week in week out are the managers that have played him, bar Moyes, as he warranted a place in the team at that point as the others around him were even worse than he was!
        To blame Fergie who would have shipped him out 3 and half years ago is laughable! 🙂

    Zlats assist showing on FPL? Strange

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

      He celebrated like someone who just assisted so it means assist

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    No way is that an assist wtf

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

    Ibra made it. But wasn't an assist. Cross missed Radford, was knocked down by Watford defender then Radford buried it.

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

      Rashford*

    2. bojack
      • 9 Years

  13. Lizard Lips

    Walcott got an assist yesterday so Zlatan should too imho

  14. Zikry
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Ibra assist? lol. This is almost as bad as giving him the 3 bonus GW 1.

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

    WHAT THE HELL.

    If that is an assist, then Williams should have got one yesterday.

    Ridiculous that FPL's given Zlatan the assist

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

      Zlatan plays by his own rules so makes sense that FPL would gift him that one

  27. Mull
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded.
