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

      Boom

    Zlatan's not looking good for 11.9m ??

    1. Kroosin'
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Nope. He never looked worth the money in all the previous matches too. But his convertion rate was really high.

        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        My WC team looks good without him - No Ibra = Alexis...

  3. Belsunz

    Seeing it in replay it really looks like it was the finest of touches of Zlatan's boot for that cross. 100 percent!

    RIP FPL

    Best 5.5 defender (i have baines)

    1. glufs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Baines

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Lovren and £0.6m.

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Vertonghen?

    4. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Matip

  9. Gregor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    He can't be keeping that assist.

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

    Ibra doesn't get an assist for a cross

    Lukaku gets a goal for not touching the ball

    Ibra --> Lukaku done.

    1. Magic Man
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      HE GOT THE ASSIST LMAO

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

    if this is an assist for ibra then lukaku should get an assist too

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

      Lukaku's goal should be taken away. There is no way he touched it.

  12. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    This is a strange weekend for dodgy points being awarded.

  13. Ziro

    9 years, 7 months ago

    How is Pogba half of Fellainin on the bps metrics? Thought his game was made for such stats?

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

      fellaini has infinitely more elbows completed

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

      In the first half he created no chances, completed no take-ons, made not tackles, and made no interceptions.

      Haven't seen him do much this half either.

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

    Benefit of the doubt given Ibra's ownership and captaincy I think. FPL want to keep people playing.

  15. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 7 months ago

    Capoue still clinging onto 3 BPS, come on son.

  16. Krul Runnings
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I own Ibra, that is never an assist in a million years.

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

      Same, agree

  17. Samwise the Brave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Assist won't stick, simple as

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

      Dreaming

    2. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Just like the Lukaku goal didn't?

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      It was as much as an assist as that was Lukaku's goal last night... Surely that's taken away.

  18. Pirlø's Pen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What a scandal. Owner but jeez no chance that's an assist.

  19. Mikeharbrw

    '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.'

    Hmmmm

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      "significantly' is a rather subjective term!

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

        The ball went in the opposite direction it came from. 😆

        1. Robben Mee Blind
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          🙂

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

    Watford defender didn't play at it.

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

      Doesn't matter.

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

    Bolasie or snodgrass?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      both

  22. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Deeney & Sterling or Costa & Snodgrass??

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

    Assist will be taken off as it came off a defender. Don't worry.

    Let's all bombard fpl towers. Let them know how badly inconsistent they are

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

      But tell them that the lukaku goal was fine...

  25. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years

    Lol

  26. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 7 months ago

    Rooney is surely one of the least effective captains in the PL

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ohh yes, worse than Henderson anyway

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

      Agreed

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

    Rage quitting if that is not taken away.

  28. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    That assist won't stick, Ibra(C)

  29. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Ibra assist not confirmed yet. Keep an eye on Lukaku's twitter feed as he may yet claim it.

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      LOL

  30. FPL Puppy

    ManU decided to show up. Game on.

      Mata on and Ibra has woken up
