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
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

  2. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Does Mark have Ibra by any chance?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      And Lukaku. How curious.

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

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

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Exactly

    2. thepeen555
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

    3. Belsunz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      This!

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

      It's only for assists

  6. JJO
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Of course they will award Ibra for it
    Faking clowns

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

    Clearly an assist

  10. Holding Mee Bong
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months 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
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

  12. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months 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
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah. Makes sense to me.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. Jamie_GAWA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      They decide off wether they think it was intended

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

      I think the key words are "intended destination"

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

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

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

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

    6. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months 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 ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I think they only gave it because it's ibra

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

      Got to keep getting that ad revenue from United fans.

    2. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Of course they did....jeez

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

  15. Big Sum
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

  20. thepopo

    Rashford over ibra really opens things up on the wildcard

    1. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      he won't start every game

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

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

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

  22. Nicks93
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Zlatan doesnt follow FPL rules. FPL rules follow Zlatan

    1. joinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      If Zlatan says its an assist its an assist

      1. Nicks93
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Dare to Zlatan

  23. Mikeharbrw

  24. joinho
    • 16 Years

    Has anyone else captained Benteke?

  25. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

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

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

      Until the game updates tonight.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
