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.

    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

      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
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This is me with Firmino. Never again.

        1. Johnny Drama
          10 years, 1 month ago

          He will score som so keep

      2. Shifty
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Benched Francis too.

        A bloody clean sheet .

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

  2. FPL Daniel
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Stoke conceding in last moments of the game cost me a bet win 🙁 And the corner that came to that was disaster. Miscommunicaion from Foster and the defender. Terrible mistake and no win for me 🙁 Hughes out

      foster?

      1. FPL Daniel
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Grant with Marting. My bad. They miss badly Butland

    2. Super PVA - Small Spuds
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Where are you from Daniel?

  3. The Tinkerman
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who to get?

    A) Rashford (343, with Ibra, Kun)
    B) Lallana (352, with Ibra, Kun)
    C) Defoe (343, with Ibra, Kun)
    D) Deeney (343, with Ibra, Kun)

    I have Ibra, Valencia, Pereyra and no Liverpool players.
    I'll drop Ibra next week possibly (unless he explodes vs. Stoke), and upgrade a midfielder with the cash.

    The 442 gamble with a big premium defence has now failed twice out of 3 weeks. Time to cut losses.

    1. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A, C or D imo

      I like Deeney the most

      1. The Tinkerman
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Another option would be -8:
        Sanchez, Rashford Amat IN, De Roon, Ibra, Baines OUT

        Giving me Ozil, Bellerin, Sanchez for Arsenal's nice run.

        1. PvA
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I wouldn't get rid of Ibra just yet

          -8 is a lot too. I think you can solve it with a -4 only

  4. thep025
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino is frustrating......How did he look? Sucks when everyone around him is scoring

    1. HellasLEAF
      10 years, 1 month ago

      sucks is an understatement!!

    2. SirStevieG
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not dangerous in the slightest as false 9.

      1. thep025
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thats my concern.....everythings going around him

    3. Spg76
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Biggest troll in the game!

  5. Spg76
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I have a pretty funny one. I had Dean Marney of Burnley just has bench fodder but due to injuries and non starters he now steps into my midfield Monday night against Watford

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      riotously funny

  6. Hurricane Gilbert
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Having patience with Firmino. His turn will surely come.

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Or you can knee-jerk and remove him for Coutinho for a -4 like people will be suggesting soon enough.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He's better when not being marked by the centrebacks. His 2 goals vs Leicester were with Sturridge in the side.

  7. TheBusDriver
    10 years, 1 month ago

    No point in playing anymore. No City and a captain fail.

    1. Chucky
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero was just lucky. Dont worry you dont need him.

  8. Qaiss
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lovren not starting blessing in disguise. Smith is the first on my bench 🙂

    1. seaside
      10 years, 1 month ago

      same here. so good

  9. Shultan
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like the best formation this seasin is 3-5-2. More midfielders getting into double figures every week than strikers

  10. HellasLEAF
    10 years, 1 month ago

    May as well roll out the cheapest nailed on defence as there aren't clean sheets this year..

  11. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku to Ibra for free?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lol

      1. Kaneyonero
        10 years, 1 month ago

  13. Azathoth
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So glad i kept Defoe....Com'on JD!!!

    1. 1314
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I benched him for Capoue...

      1. Azathoth
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ouch....

      2. thep025
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Wait for Lord Capoue to play....

  14. sully29

    Coleman on 3 baps for no apparent reason. Hero. 😀

    1. Aston-villain
      10 years, 1 month ago

      10 years, 1 month ago

  15. Aston-villain

  16. Net Gains
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So Aguero scores 2, gets 3 baps and 13 points in total just liked I said this morning...

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not hard to predict Aguero scoring to be fair

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

        1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

    3. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No offence but these posts are the worse.

      1. Net Gains
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I think you might mean 'the worst' in correct English

    4. Steevo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nostradamus

    5. Aston-villain

          10 years, 1 month ago

        Coming from someone with a mostly green avatar? Pot. Kettle. Green.

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

    My defense: 1-1-2-0 (if Holebas sits out). Guess most in the same boat, but still stings.

  18. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Nomar

    2. GREENDREAMS11
      10 years, 1 month ago

  19. Psojkee
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino hurts

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        10 years, 1 month ago

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same here but thankfully Tekkers got some points.

  20. Squires FC
    10 years, 1 month ago

  21. Clump
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. THE Wild Rover

      1. Clump
        10 years, 1 month ago

  23. Emiliano Sala

  24. Bushido
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How likely is it for Marshall to be dripped for Jaku?

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      zero. 6 saves, played well

  25. Greenbackbøøg…
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Before anyone complains about their defence, everyones defence completely imploded this week so no need to feel bad

  27. Lovren an elevator
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How did kdb look considering Silva and Aguero were on the pitch?

  28. Danstoke82
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra + Snodgrass > Rashford + Sterling? Or is it a bit knee jerky?

  29. Numb
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is it time to avoid the "target men" type players? Ibra, Firm and Benteke all blanking as their team rained in goals.

    1. Duffo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Just lol

    2. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Except Benteke of course but he hasn't done much overall

    3. Aston-villain
      10 years, 1 month ago

      benteke didnt blank

    4. Nomar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      How many effing times are idiots going to post that Benteke did nothing when he scored today???!

  30. Dušan Citizen
    10 years, 1 month ago

    43 (-4, after bonus) with Costa, Antonio and Capue to go.
