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

      Barkley to Capoue or Antonio is better.

    Wow this ibra assist is triggering me, same scenario happened when IBRA score vs man city, rooney didn't get credited for that as an assist, and its basically same situation, why so many double standards this season in FPL?

      Rule says ""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."
      Ibra's destination was clearly to Rashford so it should stand

        Contradicted yourself there,the pass was significatly deflected...No assist

        What? the ball cleared Rashford completely... the DEFENDER knocked it back into the path of Rashford

        1. Saint Domingo
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Which means NO ASSIST.

        2. The Bandit
          • 15 Years

          Rashford was the intended destination. What's so hard to understand?

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years

            Rashford was the intended destination. What's so hard to understand?This is an old post btw 😉

            The intended destination yes, but it missed rashford by miles, and he'd never off got to it, if not or the fact the watford defender knocks it back into his path, which is a huge f'n alteration of the balls path.
