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

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

      Don't think so. He's red flagged and will soon be price protected.

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

        If you mean his ownership though, then yes. 🙂

    Assuming Townsend does nothing, would you do these?

    Ibra > Aguero
    Townsend > Sterling

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      His place is always at risk

  6. davies
    • 12 Years

    Imagine Mourinho when Leicester beat them at Old Trafford on Saturday!

  7. andy85wsm

    Wildcard front 3:

    Deeney - Lukaku - Aguero

    Nothing like a good knee jerk when your wildcard is active 🙂

    1. Ryan Naysmith
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      doing the same

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years

    3. S.Agueroooooo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I think this is the way to go

      Sanchez sterling Firmino Antonio Capoue in behind?

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Yes 😀

    5. SW6

      Bony will be in there in ~2 hours 😉

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        He really might be any way. Love Watford and Stoke fixtures

    6. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I have Benteke over those (not on WC) but seriously want Deeney but seems a little silly to drop Benteke.

    7. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Same, really like it

    8. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Snap, already had Lukaku, Agüero was happening anyway. And I prefer Deeney over Benteke.

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

      And if Kane scores a hattrick today? 😉

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I give up

    10. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      yeah, it's looking that way. will probably change next week though

  8. lickwidice
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    firmino vs mane who to get?

    1. glufs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Would get Mane if you can afford

  9. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    It's about time Townsend exploded

  10. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Before the match I wanted Deeney for their good run of fixtures but thought sticking with Capoue would be enough.

    I'm really tempted to double up but losing Benteke just seems crazy.

  11. Jasoooooooo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on getting Pererya over Snoddy??

    1. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Said all weekend get him 2 assists 1 goal good start in 3 games.

  12. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Kun, Costa, lukaku up top.
    Work rest if team around this.
    WCing this wk.
    Valencia and stones complete waste since gw 1.

  13. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    60 points and Walker + Townsend left

  14. Cecil The Lion
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Zuniga is a defender!

  15. Conbhair
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Ibra > Kun
    Haz > Firmino for -4? Or just Ibra > Kun?

  16. anish10
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Sterling or KDB?

    1. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      KDB

  17. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Who goes first Ozil or Haz?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Hold one last week maybe

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Ozil has some decent fixtures coming. If you have Costa too, ditch haza

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I'm leaning towards Haz as I already have Costa cheers.

    3. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      If you bought Haz at 10.0, then him.

      JuventusFC ‏@juventusfc 4months after

  19. Belsunz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Watched all the PL games and they failed to impress me. They are playing slow football with a distinct lack of desire/workrate. They'll have to improve drastically to get top four nevermind the title.

    1. Belsunz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Talking about Utd obviously

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Will struggle for 4th with Fellaini and Rooney in midfield. Is there anyone on this site that actually would play either of them?

        1. Prøphet
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Felaini didnt play bad at all. Not sure why everyone is on him. Rooney i do understand.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
            9 years, 10 months ago

            He was awful, considering they're supposed to be a title chasing side. He's been decent in the first few matches but as soon as it gets tough his passing and lack of movement is a giant hindrance

          2. devils advocate
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            This.

            Can't blame Fellaini for this embarrassment despite conceding the pen. The game was lost well before that. Probably been one of our best players so far this season.

            Rooney has to go immediately, and if Jose can't see that from this performance he can go too!

          3. Belsunz
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            have to agree with Q. Fellaini played quite well. Was one of the better performers again.

        2. The Road to Turfdom
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Certainly not in that deep role (Rooney). Not sure that 'experiment' has done him any good

  20. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Almost certain I cell Ibrahimovic this GW

    Didnt want him before the season started, got him after the first 2 GW's but not been impressed since.

    1. davies
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I haven't been impressed all season I think his performances have been very average.

      1. The Road to Turfdom
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Does that suggest you expect improvement though? His returns have been good in that case if there could be more to come.

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          I look at that United team and really dont know if they will, a battle for the top 4 might be on the cards but they are way off the top.

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      He can only deliver if the team plays well. United are in an unexpected slump right now :/

      1. devils advocate
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        His returns suggest the total opposite of this.

        He's scoring points in a team that aren't doing well, so imagine what happens when they actually do start playing well.

    3. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      He's averaging 6+PPG and is the top scoring striker.

      You don't want that?

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Looking at how his team are playing and that hes dropped to 4PPG in his last 3 I dont think its value for money.

        If i go for a Kane, Costa, Lukaku etc they might not match his points over the season but spending that money in the midfield IMO will bring a higher points gain.

  21. KOLASINA(C)
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Who even is Boyd, long live Capoue the 4.5th.

  22. SirStevieG
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Ibra and Hazard > Aguero and Mane/Coutinho/Firmino (-4) ???

  23. StoneMountain
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Over to Redmond and Lamela. Not holding out much hope. WC active.

  24. Zoostation
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Are all red flagged players price protected or no?

    Specifically Souare?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      No

    2. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      They will be price protected when they go from red to available (blue?).
      They are not price protected when they are red flagged, but requires more transfers in/out to have a price change.

  25. Inverjas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Err why is ibra given the assist, when it clearly bounce off watford players after the cross?

  26. EDEN THE MAN
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Zlatan--Kun
    or Nah

  27. joinho
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone else captained Benteke?

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I came close but opted for Lukaku instead. Good luck!

  28. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    No Pieters.

    Have to take Greys 2. Yuck.

    Pieters prob would have conceded anyways
