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.

      10 years, 1 month ago

    2. Cevap

      1. PvA
        10 years, 1 month ago

  5. The Left Duke #3
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The Liverpool MD selection is a lottery, prob best holding the one for the season as they'll all finish with similar points.

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sadio.

      1. Bushido
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I would have liked mane but he's a little too expensive. Had to go with Firminho.

        1. The Left Duke #3
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I'm on Firmino too by the way

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Mane all the way Jazz!

    2. Taffer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed, if you chop and change you'll lose massive points

      1. Mull
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Or gain even more.

    3. Bushido
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I agree

    4. Cevap
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably best to have 2 of them

    5. Clump
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah. This seems like the way forward.

    6. Sweetboi
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, so erratic with the points.

    7. GREENDREAMS11
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Coutinho and a.n. other for me

    8. Bubz
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Or just have more than one of them

  6. popcoin
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Son's second goal is ridiculous in several ways. Just how

    1. Bushido
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The son always rise

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Stuck him in this week 😉

        1. Sweetboi
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Same, he's a perfect FPL player.

          1. GREENDREAMS11
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah his stats were ridiculous

  7. Jakarta
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How is Lukaku looking? Any chances?

  8. Jafooli
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Still think Hendo is the best route into the Liverpool midfield.

    1. Slam
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Milner, no?

    2. Jazz!
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed.

    3. George Sillett
      10 years, 1 month ago

      James is the one.

    4. Tansey
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lucas attacking stats say otherwise

  9. topgolfer48
    10 years, 1 month ago

    ibrahimavic captain should i transfer him for aguero

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

      Stoke. Each gw is different. Stay the course for an easy home match.

  10. Spg76
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Silva on a yellow. The casuals might get lucky with an early substitution with Iheanacho coming on

    1. Jafooli
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Think it got changed to Fernadiho no?

      1. Spg76
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I'm with you. They made a mistake on tv and gave it to Silva

    2. Spg76
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not if they need a goal

  11. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Only Capoue and Redmond can save me now loooool

  14. Chucky
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling and Benteke played well?

    1. Burton
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling yes, busy & central. Swans working hard though.

  15. Would an idiot do that?
    10 years, 1 month ago

  23. Le _ Professeur
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku - Benteke - Firmino - Eriksen

    Someone do something please 😀

  24. JÆKS ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A bit worried about Firmino's place next week though when Sturridge is back....

    1. SW6
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty evident that Klopp isn't a big fan of Sturridge. This team out now is his favourite I think

    2. Scholes Balls
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dont, Klopp is not feeling Sturridge

    3. Frank Black
      10 years, 1 month ago

      LOL.

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

      When Sturridge started against LEI, Firmino played directly behind him and scored twice. Might do him good.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Well indeed surely he plays better when Sturridge is on the pitch, but with Mane and Lallana being rested midweek and scoring now, and Coutinho being the best man on the pitch today, it seems to be Firmino's place that's at risk....

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

    Son's returns... wow

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

    Had a horrendous GW4, GW5 = 76 Points.

    Keep the faith all. Ups and downs

  27. Brayden29
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra out for Rashford?

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

      Cool kids have already done that

      1. Brayden29
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Good decision if you did

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

      WIll be THE popular move this week.

  28. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    ...

  29. The Royal Robin
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Should Son now be considered even despite having City as his opposition next week?

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

      I think I will stay away from this, was just having a look but already have a decent team for next week

    2. Sweetboi
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No (hopes he stays a differential)

    3. Frank Black
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You should take a look at his next few fixtures, not just next week, son.

  30. some witty pun
    10 years, 1 month ago

    i just woke up.

    so how is it possible that Ibra was not involved in all 4 goals?

    1. Brayden29
      10 years, 1 month ago

      3 of Man U's goals came from corners of some sort

    2. Le _ Professeur
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe you're still dreaming 😛
