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

    Rooney needs to be "rested". Herrera or Mata would do such a better job.

      Mata loses the ball just as much.

        10 years, 5 days ago

        It's not just about losing the ball, it's about that vision and calmness, Rooney looks like he tries too hard on each play.

      He was rested do 😉

    Rooney showing his class in the numer 10 role again.

    Passes it straight out of bounds with no pressure on him what so ever.

      Yep, just a matter of time, unfortunately.

    Shocker

    Ibra has to do better there, but that's better from United.

  13. twoplustwo

    Zlatan sell off is going to be swift, united look dump

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Agreed

    2. devils advocate
      • 12 Years

      Sell him now and get ahead of the pack.

  14. Cantonas Demons
    • 11 Years

    Why Zaltan!

  15. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Ibra should have claimed that he scored. Then FPL would have given him the goal and 3 bonus points

    1. Royal5
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Open mic night?

  16. Royal5
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    No need for Zlatan if this is United's level. Just terrible.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      You are saying this 20 mins into a game ?

      1. Royal5
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Yes. Beeing bossed by Watford.

      2. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Exactly, it's really boring, City game was a good example, United were poor first half, but second half could have drawn/won it

    2. thepeen555
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Still consistently poor

      Last week mcfc had the first 45 mins basically United went at them In second half for about 15-20 mins. That's not good enough

  17. some witty pun
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    ibra -> aguero?

    1. thepeen555
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      That was my plan to bring aguero back anyway as will go without both - probably not a good move to some but it's gotta be done

  18. Phaze 1
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    United has no hope with Rooney on the field. If only fergi had stayed one more year to complete his bin Rooney plan. He'd be Chelsea's problem right now.

    1. devils advocate
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Can't hit a simple pass from 10 yards and our creative hopes are pinned on him in the number 10 role?

      So frustrating.

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      By his bin Rooney plan you mean repeatedly give Rooney what he wanted whenever he threw a tantrum plan? Fergie just as at fault as the rest of them. Said it before, will say it again, United have given all the power over to Rooney.

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Fergie was clearly binning him, on Fergies terms as well.

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 5 days ago

          He actually wasn't.

          Remember when Rooney demanded a pay increase and threatened to join Chelsea or City if he didn't get it? Didn't get binned. Any other player would have been sent packing.

          Remember when they bought Kagawa and RVP and it looked like Rooney's days were over only for them to bench Kagawa/play him out of position to accommodate Rooney? Still not binned.

          Fergie now has a role on the board of United, still has plenty of influence, but Rooney remains in the team, on £300k a week as per his latest contract bestowed by the club when Moyes was manager. Once again before that contract, Rooney kicked up a fuss about where he was playing and once again all of United cowed down to him and gave him what he wanted.

    Thoughts on this WC team?
    Any suggestions?

    Heaton - 4.0
    Shaw - Williams - JEvans - Holebas - Amat
    Sanchez - Firmino - Sterling - Antonio - 4.5
    Aguero - Lukaku - Deeney

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      As template as it gets. Okay I guess. Maybe have Valencia instead of Shaw.
