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.

    Not sure that can be a Coutinho assist. It's a hand-ball, when do hand-balls get given as assists.

    1. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Clear assist, it was his shot that drew the penalty.

      1. GinjaWhinja
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Since when does the last shot/cross before a hand ball count as an assist?

  16. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    IF Coutinho was given an assist for the pen... and was called to take the pen... could he theoretically get both assist and score points?... Obvs just using him as an example... just interested if it were a possibility in fpl.

    1. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No, only the goal would count.

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nope
