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.

    Sanchez (c) to save my gameweek

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lol good luck mate

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        😉

      That's ballsy. Hope it pays off for you.

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Awaiting his second. Then I'll be happy

  2. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling nowhere near bonus

  3. adey70
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Can anyone beat 16 points from eight?

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Coutinho can nearly

    2. adey70
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      And I still think they were all good picks...

    3. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Wow. nope. I have 12pts from 6 + Kun (C) and I thought that was bad, commiserations.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        and I took a -4... I somehow STILL have a green arrow according to FFFix.

    4. Cojiro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nope, well played

  4. KOLASINA(C)
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Evans on 1BAP

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      My hero. My mate.

    2. Darth Crooks
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'll take anything from my defence at this point

  5. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling goal probably means red arrows for me. Aguero(C) only point scorer out of 7 men played.

    Bizarrely had a green arrow on FFF before that, despite 4pt hit.

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Unlucky pal

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Could do with an Arsenal clean sheet and win, with Ozil doing anything. :')

        1. PvA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Still some games yet to play

          You never know, Lukaku saves many people with a hattie not long ago 🙂

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      At least he got booked for celebrating.

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        😆

      2. alangreat
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        didn't see it, what did he do?

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          No idea, but lost points and possibly bonus, which is all that matters 😛

  6. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    1. PvA

    2. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

  9. andy85wsm

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years

  10. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Just got Lukaku in this week.

    I don't care how many hot topics or articles are written about him being the real deal or FPL gold...

    He will always be a troll in my books.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I always say never again to buying him, he looks good, I go against my word and buy him again, he then does nothing, I sell him, he looks good... The circle continues.

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        This is me with Firmino. Never again.

        1. Johnny Drama
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          He will score som so keep

      2. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Benched Francis too.

        A bloody clean sheet .

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      One blank. By that logic Ibra is a super expensive troll.

  11. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    come on firmino hat trick 2nd half

    1. niko mate
      • 9 Years

  12. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Any chance of baps for Tekkers?

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yes maybe 2

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Ooooooh

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      1 maybe 2

    3. GARYNEVILLESTASH
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I believe he missed out by like 3 points?

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      1 max

  13. sillyhilly69
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Trollkaku strikes again.

    Us mugs get sucked in time and time again.

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Since when does one blank make someone a troll?

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      What, cos he didn't score this week? No striker scores every week.

      Unless you play in the Scottish Premier League.....

  14. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Milner, no?

    2. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Agreed.

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      James is the one.

    4. Tansey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lucas attacking stats say otherwise

  15. Psojkee
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Benteke 4-1 win stoke, 0+0
    Ibra 4-1 win leicester, 0+0
    Firmino 5-1 win hull, 0+0

    it's a joke?

    1. Squires FC
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Firmino hurts

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        lots of us in that boat,

    2. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years

    3. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Same here but thankfully Tekkers got some points.

      Firmino trolling me again after I brought him back after missing his returns

        • 9 Years

        1. Clump
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Bossed it totally. We're looking very decent this year.

          1. Lecky Legs FC
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah Mane is essential for FPL & for us was pure class & Lallana too.

  17. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    1. Bubz

    2. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Bring in KDB and he does nothing. He is Barkley to me, FPL wise.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Theres still another half you know

      3. fedolefan
        • 11 Years

    3. Hands Guber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Moan,moan,moan,moan,moan,moan.

    4. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Firmino is soo frustrating..1 game involved in all goals other in none...How did he look first half??

    5. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      It's going to be a long, tiresome season listening to Liverpool X midfielder owners lord it up over Liverpool Y midfielders owners, then listening to them crying and whinging the next fortnight when it changes.

      If you don't like it then don't pick a player from a team with 4 attacking players with excellent underlying stats.

      Babies

    6. John t penguin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      And people said don't get lallana.

          Depends on extent of injury
