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

    How is Fellaini selected ahead of Schneiderlin/Blind/Carrick
    is mind boggling...

    Fellaini constantly gives the ball away to the opposition....putting Utd's defence under pressure..

    Rooney's problem, is he runs around like a headless chicken,
    he should be concentrating on feeding Ibrahimovic..

      Fellaini bar giving away the penalty was by far one of united States best players.

    Capouet 4th mid for me over the next 4 or 5 games. Great way to get Aguero back. A simple Hazard to Barry shift. No hits. Assume many others doing the same?

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

      Don't go as cheap as Barry because it makes it difficult to get a good midfield is Capoue stops scoring.

      1. Goaldigger
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Seems ideal as 5th though.

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

          He is but the point is that the other potential 4th mids are all priced £1m higher than Capoue. If he stops scoring then you'll have to take a few hits to get a replacement.

      thankfully I moved to barry last week in anticipation of kun's return-barry's goal was a happy bonus

      1. Goaldigger
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Good move

  8. mikess
    • 15 Years

    Hazard, Sanchez, Sterling, Antonio, Snodgrass, Ibrahimovic, Benteke, 4.5

    A) Hazard & Ibrahimovic > Firmino & Aguero
    B) Hazard, Ibrahimovic, 4.5 > Capoue, Aguero and Slimani/Deeney

    1. mikess
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      B is a - 4

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

    Wildcard last week and I already want to get rid of Valencia, Ibra, Pieters, Hazard and Costa.

    1. mikess
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Pieters was always an awful pick. Hughes doesn't know how to defend. Rest probably have longevity

  10. Chucky
    • 12 Years

    New Post?

  11. anish10
    • 15 Years

    Why firmino over Mane? feel Mane is more explosive, someone please sway my decision..

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

    43 -8 with PvA Walker Redmond and Tekkers. Good chance for decent points?

  13. What am I doing?
    • 9 Years

  14. Lizard Lips

    2. No Name to Display
      • 11 Years

      1. COLLIN QUANER

        Deeney

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      A) Pieters --> Holebas (-4) (A BUR)

      B) Play Masuaku (H SOU)

      1. Nicks93
        • 12 Years

        B

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Cheers! Maybe cs are too hard to predict, but Masuaku's chance on a cs is close to zero 😀

      Jose Mourinho has lost 14 of his last 32 matches. The losing one. #MUFC

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Only 7 wins from last 21 games

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

      So who gets sacked first

      Mourinho
      Bilic
      Hughes

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

        Bilic I think. Impatient and overambitious owners.

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

          Would be a shame, they were great last season

      What would you do with this mess:

      Foster, Jaku
      Amat, Friend, Masuaku, Shaw, Stones
      Barks, Antonio, Firmino, Capoue, Redmond
      Kun, Ibra, Lukaku?

      0 FT, 0.2m ITB

      Rags scrapping amongst themselves..
      loving this

    11. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Obvious that Zlatan needs to get better service/touch the ball more. From games I have seen, he just isn't integrated nearly enough. He virtually goes missing for long stretches. Team dynamic is off. That's for sure.

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

        I agree our team is playing rubbish atm, but Ibra is playing exactly as Ibra has always played.

        He's not a player that gets that involved, rather he just converts half chances that pop up.

        He was unlucky today and should have had 2 goals with a side netting miss he would normally bury and another denied by a great Gomes save.

        I'm not worried about Ibra at all. He'll score goals regardless of how well or poorly the rest of the team is playing.

        I'm actually happy that others are going to be selling him to be honest. 🙂

    12. Differentiator
      • 10 Years

      Need Benteke 5 goals to fund a mini wildcard 🙂

    13. crazyasianac
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      1) ibra, tekkers -> kun, deeney
      or
      2) tekkers, ozil -> kun, marney and play capoue as 4th mid
      or
      3) tekkers, ozil, robertson -> kun, snodgrass, kingsley for -4

    14. Tansey

    16. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years

      Is Redmond playing as a striker or winger?

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

        Striker
