After Manchester United’s devastating blast at Old Trafford, the Gameweek rolls on with a batch of six three o’clock kick-offs.

Once again there’s a rich cast of Fantasy talent on show, with Manchester City, Liverpool and Everton all in action.

Sergio Aguero is undoubtedly the headline act and, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s blank, his output at Swansea City comes under greater focus.

Brought in by more than 400,000 new Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of today’s deadline, 18% of all FPL managers back Aguero with the captaincy in South Wales.

The top 100 have certainly been quick to jump on the Argentine – 41 of them have immediately trusted him with the armband.

Much is expected of the Liverpool midfield. They host Hull City at Anfield with Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane heavily backed for points.

Romelu Lukaku is another key asset on show as he makes the trip to Bournemouth. Now found in 19% of FPL squads, the Belgian starts and is captained by just 4%.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    1. Ziro
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Just captain Aguero.

      1. TheBusDriver
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Don't have him.

        1. kennethrhcp

            With Aguero he would fail three times aswell 🙂

        2. Cevap

          I won't get on the bus until you get him....come on...let's go for a ride

          Get used to more captain fails so.

    2. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      On a sidenote, last season I had a 11 GW in a row with failed captain so don't even start...

  7. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    TOP 5 GW6 CAPTAINS

    1) Ibrahimovic 29.3%
    2) Aguero 18.4%
    3) De Bruyne 6.7%
    4) Lukaku 4.3%
    5) Costa 4.2%

    1. SuperMario
      10 years, 1 month ago

      wow thats interesting.. Aguero this week will be a diff but by next week it seems he will be so common again..

  8. wowBOBwow
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I have Amat coming in for Baines and would genuinely be delighted with a 1.

    1. pokern1nja09
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Haha me too. Would be delighted for 1pt, but would probably take a 0

  9. TheBusDriver
    10 years, 1 month ago

    This GW will only get worse for me now.

  10. Puntillimon

    Chadli cappers unite!

    1. Chucky
      10 years, 1 month ago

      lol GL

  11. rdamjan
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Why oooo why did I get Lovren??:S

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      10 years, 1 month ago

      because you didn't know he'd get ill and be back next week?

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      10 years, 1 month ago

      or because you thought the coutinho crank call was funny?

  12. Your Mum's Athletic
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Was at pub for game, general concensus that Leicester were poor or United were awesome?

    1. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      General consensus = Ibra > Rashford

    2. TheBusDriver
      10 years, 1 month ago

      United were great in the first half and awful in the 2nd.

    3. Cevap
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lei poor imo...but United looked much better without roon

    4. Jazz!
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bit of both, after the first goal United totally dominated. 2nd half died out, good changes from Ranieri to kill the game a bit.

    5. Your Mum's Athletic
      10 years, 1 month ago

      cheers lads, exact same thoughts

  13. Cevap
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Have a feeling it will be a low scoring week. Kun blank....liv mids blank....knees start shaking and some critical price drops this week

    1. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone gets so scared if any of their players blank in 1 week lol

      Then it's many transfer hits to solve issues that are not even there

      1. Cevap
        10 years, 1 month ago

        😆 you just know someone random will score well this week and will go up by .3

      2. sully29

        Wildcards being ripped up in the process.

  14. Pierce34
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Nyom starting - nailed on soon?

  15. Moorsey
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Selling Ozil, already got Sterling in the team. Do I switch to Alexis or KDB?

    1. La Roja
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Payet

    2. GREENDREAMS11
      10 years, 1 month ago

    2014, Spurs, gw8
    2015, Newcastle (can't remember gw but was early on)
    2016, Swansea, gw6

    1. Jazz!

      I'm pretty sure it was GW8.

      1. Cevap

        Should have triple c than 😉

  18. The Rock
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford looks to be rising tonight. Might need to make my transfer early this week!

    Gray > Rashford

    1. Cevap
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. Cevap
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Why did you keep gray in the first place

        1. The Rock
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Made 2 transfers already this week.

  19. Swan - Villa Proud
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Baines to Clyne or Kosc next week it seems

    1. Sweetboi
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Baines

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Depends on extent of injury

  20. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Man like Mane C

  21. Fred54
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The idea of holding onto Ibra for Stoke is crumbling for me the more and more I think about it. My MF is really strange looking (Capoue, Firm, Lalanna, Remond and Barkley) all because of Ibra and Kun.

    I was only ever gonna keep Ibra till Stoke beause the MF needs rebuliding but by the time GW7 ends could be looking at massive swings for all my Ibra replacements and MF options....

  22. Your Mum's Athletic
    10 years, 1 month ago

    No Baines 🙁

    1. stachman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah... This one's a real blow...

  23. stachman
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Pogba worth a punt now that Roo is dropped? How did he look like?

    1. Sweetboi
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't say he's worth a punt.

    2. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Like he was out to punish me for selling him

    3. CostaCoffee
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No

    4. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I dropped him for Firmino. He is not close to others around that price bracket tbh.

    5. thepeen555
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He got MOTM

  24. KOLASINA(C)
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hoping that Hazard will score today so I won't have to take another hit to get rid of Ibra and Hazard.

    1. itwaswritten
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's vs. Arsenal... he probably will.

  25. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The thought process here is so bizarre. I'm not mad that I chose Baines on wc. It was the decision I made with the info at the time. People think the fact they didn't correctly predict the hamstring injury in the warm-up means they made the "wrong" decision.

    1. Sweetboi
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, shakey knees.

    2. Cevap
      10 years, 1 month ago

      People think they can predict the future

    3. George Sillett
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Very true. I brought in Soure before the car crash and then did Holebas to replace him ( may still play) and have Baines too.

    4. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't even try to understand people's train of thoughts. It's a waste of time

  26. itwaswritten
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Am I the only one who made Capoue a captain?

    1. EMERGING STAR
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Deeney (C) for me

  27. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Cmon (C)un

  28. The Tinkerman
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Baines, Grabban > Amat, Rashford? (-4)

    Would give me:
    Foster
    McAuley, Bellerin, Valencia (Toby, Amat)
    Ozil, Antonio, Bolasie, Pereyra (de Roon)
    Aguero, Ibra, Rashford

    Paves the way for Ibra, Bolasie > Lukaku, Firmino before GW8. After which, Firmino has great fixtures.

    1. Sweetboi
      10 years, 1 month ago

      3:00 kick offs just underway, slow down.

      1. The Tinkerman
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I will wait until tonight at the very earliest, of course.

  29. Permian23
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino - triple captain.......

    1. itwaswritten
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Oh my...

      Get those 6 points!
