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

      ???

    4. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Yep. That has always been an assist in FPL. Not sure why peeps having trouble with it.

  2. Ziro

    Does Mark have Ibra by any chance?

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      And Lukaku. How curious.

      1. Ziro

    If that's an assist, how is Williams not being given an assist for the first goal yesterday?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Exactly

    2. thepeen555
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Exactly - would only open the door for many previous issues not given

    3. Belsunz
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      This!

  5. Mull
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Why is it about intended destination and not where it actually lands. Should they start giving Andros Townsend goals because he intends not to put it into row Z?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      It's only for assists

  6. JJO
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Of course they will award Ibra for it
    Faking clowns

    1. JJO
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      His intention was to cross it to Brahimi who will pass it to Rashford

  7. dcarlito

    Roll on Dublin v Mayo. My eyes are hurting watching this.

  8. TheSteel
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    @R.Lukaku: hey Zlatan luckily they have a camera behind the goal its my assist
    Hahahahahahahahaha

  9. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Clearly an assist

  10. Holding Mee Bong
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    After watching the replay, that's not an assist in a month of Sunday's

    Will be very surprised if it stands

  11. devils advocate
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Ibra assist, LOL!

    Now I've seen everything.

    If that's not a reason to keep him I don't know what is?

    A player in fpl that gets points for nothing is absolute gold!

    1. devils advocate
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      And I'm an Ibra captain'er, lol!

  12. THE Wild Rover
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Read the rules fella's

    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.

    The key word is 'destination' it says nothing about 'direction'

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Yeah. Makes sense to me.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Well actually it's stupid and makes no sense at all but that the rules 😀

    2. Jamie_GAWA
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      They decide off wether they think it was intended

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I think the key words are "intended destination"

    4. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      The key word there is, 'Ibra is my captain'.

    5. Kroosin'
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      How do they know the intented destination ? There were lotta players in th box.

    6. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      The intended destination was the back of the net wasn't it? The defender then deflects it back to Rashford to give him a second crack.

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    I think they only gave it because it's ibra

    1. Mull
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Got to keep getting that ad revenue from United fans.

    2. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Of course they did....jeez

  14. SW6
    • 14 Years

    Pogba is just a worse version of Moussa Dembele

  15. Big Sum
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Rashford over ibra really opens things up on the wildcard

    1. Sebbo29
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      he won't start every game

  21. Pirlø's Pen
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Is it viable to go with Pickford & Jakupovic? Have actually some OK fixtures coming up.

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I'm stating to think it's worth the risk!

  22. Nicks93
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Zlatan doesnt follow FPL rules. FPL rules follow Zlatan

    1. joinho
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      If Zlatan says its an assist its an assist

      1. Nicks93
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Dare to Zlatan

  23. Mikeharbrw

  24. joinho
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Has anyone else captained Benteke?

  25. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    There's a one hour window after the match where they can takeaway the assist right? Or is this final?

    1. Mull
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Until the game updates tonight.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago
