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

    Worth wildcarding this side?
    Foster
    Shaw-Stones-Kone
    Hazard-Firmino-Redmond-Lamela
    Costa-Ibra-Benteke

    Heaton-Evans-Friend-Capoue

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. Bullet Eder
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No way! Redmond the only one I'd consider getting rid of and he might smash Swansea today.

  2. Stats Don\'t Lie

    United defence looking a poor investment.

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      It's 0-0

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        They will concede

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Better than city pool arsenal everton chelsea or spurs so far

  3. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    So far so good for me a united clean sheet and Ibrahimovic hasn't scored just what I need to happen

  4. Fowler23

    Is pogba coming on soon?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Hopefully the transfer goes through soon and he's available for selection.

    Martial dead

  6. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Anybody else considering Deeney for their great run of fixtures?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      For sure.

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Just checked and didn't realise how good they are.

        On wildcard.

      Head butted

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Think Capoue is enough for me, might start him 2 of next 3

    4. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Had the .4 to do Rondon to Deeney until yesterday happened

  7. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Looking at front 8 options on WC. Think Rashford may be a starter now. Thoughts on this?

    Sanchez, De Bruyne, Firmino, Chadli, Capoue
    Aguero, Benteke, Rashford

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      We both know how it's going to end. Deeney is a better pick.

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

    Nasty head knock.

    Hope both players are ok.

    Don't like seeing that.

  9. Lizard Lips

    United look so bad. No different to other years.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      SAF was a miracle worker

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He had them terrified for a generation. Amazing what that can do.

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Mourinho is clueless.

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

      You got any new material?

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Working on it!!

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Rooney is undroppable, hamstrings any manager. Although playing Fellaini is his own fault

        1. OPTA FPL
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Hate seeing Fellaini in the line up

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Yup not a terrible player but for a team aiming for the title to play someone who offers little else apart from chesting the ball is crazy. Not even a Utd fan but it infuriates me

      • thepeen555
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Rip martial - never looks like he wants to play atm anyway

      • Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Gray Dropped. So many droppers this week. Pieters didn't rose for a while and now Gray, Hazard, Aguero, Redmond all dropped. Way to kill my transfer plans.

        Just have exact budget for.
        GW6- Redmond to Snod
        GW7- Gray to Deeney

        Any price rise/fall, and it gets so hard

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

        The first half hour didn't make me any wiser on my final dilemma....

        A) Bolasie + Deeney (Benteke still next week)

        B) Pereyra + Benteke

      • OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Anyone else think Deeney's head is too big? weird looking

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          You could park a car in the gap between his eyes

          1. OPTA FPL
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            lol

          Heeeey youuuuu guuuuuuuyys

        3. Alan The Llama
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I'm now definitely gonna buy him, a striker with a massive head.

      • Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        United are a long way behind City....a very, very long way.

        1. Hybrid.power
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Definitely

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

          That's what they get for trying to buy the title. Haven't earned it naturally like City.

        3. Lizard Lips
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          And Liverpool and Arsenal...

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

            Liverpool were never meant to be competing for the title this year.

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

          Was obvious for everyone to see last week. They do not have anyone of Kun, KdB, Silva's level...

        5. El-Kloppico
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Proves my claim earlier before the season starts that Pep is a level above Mou. 🙂

      • Ziro
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Barring at least 2 of Kane/Lamela/Redmond/Benteke/Koné scoring hattricks, will be WCing tonight most likely.

      • Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        The keeper didn't even attempt to save it.

        1. For Fuchs Sake
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          he probably thought it was going way over, then it dipped loads!!

      • Mr. Blonde
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • Ziro

        Thank god Pogba didn't score that or BT would have dedicated their channel to him for the rest of the day
