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
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Just captain Aguero.

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

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years

    2. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. pokern1nja09
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

  19. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    This GW will only get worse for me now.

    Why oooo why did I get Lovren??:S

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

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

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

      or because you thought the coutinho crank call was funny?

  22. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

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

      General consensus = Ibra > Rashford

    2. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

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

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

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

      cheers lads, exact same thoughts

  23. Cevap
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months 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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months 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
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

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

    Nyom starting - nailed on soon?

  25. Moorsey
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years

      Payet

    2. GREENDREAMS11
