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.

    Was going to TC firmino but held off and went for a safe Aguero (C)

      Bit strange that you went from TC Firmino to captaining Aguero. You know you could have still captained Firmino if you felt so strongly?

      why would you switch then?

    Will ibra drop twice before a home game vs Stoke??

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

      Even more than two.

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

        That's crazy

    2. The Rock
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Decent chance i reckon.

    3. jayzico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hope so. Yet I hope even more he comes good when I get rid of kak for him next week. I didn't dissect my team hideously for 28 point hit for this to happen. Now no Lovren. WTF

    4. SuperMario
      10 years, 1 month ago

      he actually might even tho he has STK which is crazy..

      Aguero getting a few today would make people jump!

  3. Rolls-Royce
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra 🙁

    5 goals from Aguero please

    1. itwaswritten
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He is so scoring 3.

  5. Mull
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Let's have some Aguero punishment!

    1. Jafooli
      10 years, 1 month ago

      6 game ban for nutting the ref.....

  6. jayzico
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What's up with Lovren?

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

      Ill

    2. Too Mane Men
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Viral Infection. Brought him in on WC. Rather frustrating.

    3. jayzico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ah cool. Get well soon then Lovren. Love you.

    Interesting. 5 Live just said Kun has never scored at Swansea.

    1. Zlatan Time
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He scored 2 in his first season at City.

      1. 4vets
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Not at Swansea

      2. The Tinkerman
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He did indeed, first game of the season.

        1. 4vets
          10 years, 1 month ago

          This season? 😉

          1. The Tinkerman
            10 years, 1 month ago

            No, his first ever season in the prem, it was his Premier League debut. But it was at home.

        2. The Tinkerman
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Ah, I see you mean away. Kun has been injured for quite a few trips to Swansea I think, he's only played 3 in the League that I can see. Still, poor by his standards. He has 9 goals in 5 games this season so far.

          1. The Tinkerman
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Make that 10 in 6 games!

  8. Jigger & Pony

    No Baines! What happened?

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

      why the hell isn't baines playing?!!

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

      Hamstring issue

    3. The Rock
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hammy.

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

        fecking great.

    4. Too Mane Men
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hamstring problem. Probably not too serious but not good for owners who nearly went for Coleman like myself.

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Damn!!!

  9. Jafooli

  10. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino will score 4 since I changed captaincy to Kun

    1. Permian23
      10 years, 1 month ago

  11. Shultan

    3. The Tinkerman
      10 years, 1 month ago

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

    4. PvA

    1. jayzico
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If anyone is WCing you HAVE to do it tonight. What's the point otherwise? WCs are for playing the price rises, yet so many don't get this

  14. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  18. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

  19. La Roja
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. La Roja

  28. fedolefan
