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

    I like that Shaw gets subbed late

    Waiting for that day where Utd have a clean sheet, Shaw gets subbed and then Utd conceded

    If I didn't have 2FT I'd seriously consider wild carding and ditching DDG.

  13. Hybrid.power

    What the fk is the point of Pogba and Rooney?

    1. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      They play so the make a wish kids in row Z can each take home a match ball.

  14. Gommy
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I expect Ibrahimovic's assist to be retracted as the rules clearly state:

    "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."

    How can anyone dispute that the above doesn't apply in this case?!

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

      Yeh they will do it after the match.

    2. The Bandit

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

        No.

    3. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      To be fair I didn't think it was an assist, but based on that rule, the opposing player did NOT alter the intended destination.

      It hit the opposing player and still dropped in the 'intended destination'.

      I agree it's a very lucky assist for Ibra owners, but based on the wording of that rule I think it makes sense it was given.

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

        Exactly. stupid rule but the rule nonetheless

  15. Judas
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    After watching it and reading the FPL rules there is no way on earth that should be an assist.

    Zlatan's cross (which is not on target) hits the defenders upper arm then bounces into Rashfords path for knocks it straight in.

    What is going on with the rules this week?

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

      FPL assumed intended destination as Radford

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

    It's not happening Mou - let's face it, unless u start dropping Rooney the performances won't increase

    1. Kudo Warrior
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Why does Rooney play every game? Is it a contract stipulation or something? I just don't get it!

  17. Optimus.
    • 15 Years

    Buying the league they said

    This has worked out really well for me. Would've preferred an Ibra goal but meh 🙂

      Depends on Watford...serious.

    Rooney needs to be dropped

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

    I am genuinely baffled by the amount of managers who refuse to drop Rooney. What is going on? Are they not watching the same games we are? I can't understand it

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

      More going on at the club. Rooney rules the roost imo, the board have made sure of it. LVG was known for dropping player who looked crooked at him yet Rooney could play League 2 standard and still be safe? Mourinho has never protected a terrible player (to my recollection) yet every week Wayne is in the team.

      Until his contract is up, or the board at United take action, United will be doing well to scrape into the top 4.

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

        Why would the board want Rooney to play so much though?

  29. Revival

    Watford to rud this Success in Utd's face

  30. Fowler23
