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.

    so how many of you here have a bournemouth defender? only cleanie so far.

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

      Smith. But even that has been tarnished by his injury 🙁

      1. some witty pun
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        was the injury serious?

        1. Tommy J
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Cut head-normally can be sorted..

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

        he played on

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

      I have Smith

    3. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Tsmith and buruc... On the bench

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

    Step up Haz,Sanchez and Costa

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

    Thank you Baines! I get Smith off the bench

  6. *sigh*
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Rondon will get all 3 bonus points if it doesn't change

  7. Garlana
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Why did Kelly get subbed off at 75th min? Injured or change of formation/tactics?

  8. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Is Son worth a shout?And Lallana for Firmino?

    1. Fowler23
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Stick with Firmino

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

    This game is so trying at times. Aguero my only slice of happiness. Holding Firmino though, it's just a Liverpool lottery.

  10. Fowler23
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Coleman on 3 BAPs ? WTF

    1. thep025
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty sure he will lose it after addition of winning goal bonus and all...

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

    Point check

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. Tommy J
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

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

    Aguero is so reliable! Top man Sergio.

  13. Spg76
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    In Hazard we trust

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Good luck with that.

    Zlatan & Firmino owners here.. 🙁
    Are we just unlucky or has been wrong all the way by picking the wrong players!

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

      Wrong all the way by picking the wrong players!

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

    No baps for Bentekkers even with winning goal 🙁

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

      3baps for winning goal no?

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

    Smith OK? Was getting him in tonight as of my plan, before rises etc.

  18. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Rough with the smooth will be interesting... Kaku and Baines in this week but done Firm to Cout at 11.29 today.

  19. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    34 -12 with Capoue Sanchez and Redmond left. V.Bad gw

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months 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

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      foster?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Grant with Marting. My bad. They miss badly Butland

    2. Super PVA - Small Spuds
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Where are you from Daniel?

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

      A, C or D imo

      I like Deeney the most

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

  22. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

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

      sucks is an understatement!!

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

      Not dangerous in the slightest as false 9.

      1. thep025
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

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

    3. Spg76
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Biggest troll in the game!

  23. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Having patience with Firmino. His turn will surely come.

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 2 months ago

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

      • Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

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

    2. Qaiss
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

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

        same here. so good

    3. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

    4. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

    5. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku to Ibra for free?

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

        Lol

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

          🙂

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

      KDB with double figures again

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

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

      1. Aston-villain
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        this hurts...(baines owner)

      2. thep025
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Winning goal bonus and all to be added.....That wont stick around i guess

    8. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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