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.

        Lol

  12. Frank Black
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Milner looks more and more like an option even though he's a reverse OOP.

  13. Numb
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best Liverpool mid to get?

    1. BlzE_94
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mane

    2. FPL Daniel
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cout and Mane double up IMO

    3. CostaCoffee
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Just a lottery.. Pick one and stick they'll all roughly score the same

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Might as well go with the cheapest one then.

    4. *sigh*
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lallana 7.1 is the cheapest ticket in the lottery

    5. Nomar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Whoever scored most this week just gone.

    6. Johnny Drama
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino

      😉

    7. Aston-villain
      10 years, 1 month ago

      lallana imo. just didnt have the balls yesterday cos i see firm and cout as better players, but lallana seems instrumental in Klopps setup in terms of fpl

    8. Garlana
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Fir...I just have no idea... surely it has to be lallana based on value?

    9. Acquafresca
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lallana.

    10. Frank Black
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino
      Lallana
      Milner
      Manè

  14. Royal5
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Wow. Coleman actually looking to get baps! 🙂

    1. Sz21
      10 years, 1 month ago

      a solid 3 bonus pts!

      1. Royal5
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Must have been very attacking

  15. SirStevieG
    10 years, 1 month ago

    As a Pool fan and Firmino owner, I can't see Bobby doing well fantasy wise unless Sturridge starts, which probably won't happen too often.

    Really considering knee-jerking him out.

    1. GENERATION X
      10 years, 1 month ago

      if its a points lottery i guess go lallana and save cash

      1. thep025
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Same thought here....How did Lallana look?

        1. SirStevieG
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Dangerous, like the rest of our front-third, besides Bobby.

      2. The Taint Tickler
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Are his minutes a concern?

        1. SirStevieG
          10 years, 1 month ago

          No Klopp loves him, but his role is different without Sturridge in the side. He barely got a look at goal being centrally.

    2. Garlana
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Last time I did this. He got a brace

      1. SirStevieG
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Probably will if Sturridge starts against Swansea, which is unlikely.

    3. Johnny Drama
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Why can't you see that?

  16. Sourabh
    10 years, 1 month ago

    45 with 2 to go ... seems like an average weekend, missing lovren and i'll get Amat in his place 🙁

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

      I'm getting Morgan for Baines.

  17. thep025
    10 years, 1 month ago

    36 pre baps with Sanchez,Deeney,Capoue,Redmond to go...Red arrow incoming? 25k rank

  18. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 1 month ago

    wow. that sterling goal is just talent. not easy that fake dribble

  19. Flynny
    10 years, 1 month ago

    It's just bad luck that lpool and United score 9 goals and ibra and f8rmino not involved yeah?

    1. GENERATION X
      10 years, 1 month ago

      pretty much

    2. Clump
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say so.

  20. Arceus
    10 years, 1 month ago

    lol @ ppl having defenders

    No wait

    1. Sourabh
      10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Johnny Drama
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Won't happen

      1. The Donald
        10 years, 1 month ago

        so sure...

  23. Ibralicious
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha-> Coutinho for -4? (Firmino/Lallana a better pick?)

  24. Jay_
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Baines (!) Stones Holebas (!) Amat Wilson

    1m ITB.

    A) Baines > Bellerin -4
    B) Stones > Kosc -4
    C) Wilson > Lovren -4
    D) Don't take the hit, just play Stones (tot) and Amat (LIV) and hope one or both of Baines and Holebas get fit.

    1. Heels_Over_Head

  26. Garlana
    10 years, 1 month ago

    My captain saving my game week again...it was the opposite last season...but surely most ppl captained kun!?

    1. thep025
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra most captained

    2. Garlana
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I guess I can gloat for removing him now....until next weekend

    3. Spg76
      10 years, 1 month ago

      They didn't!!! Only 3 of the overall top 10 had him their side, never mind Captain!!!

      Same in my mini league. Out of 20 only 5 went for him

  27. Bushido
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Jaku for cech.
    Or Shaw/Valencia for Monreal/Koscielny.

  28. Spg76
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard, Sanchez and Costa in the same game. 0-0 would kill me

    1. Chucky
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same here.I hope it's a high scoring game. 4-5 to Chelsea please
