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.

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

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

      Ibra most captained

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

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

    3. Spg76
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    WC team, thoughts?

    Karius
    Kone McAuley Valencia
    Alexis Sterling Coutinho Capoue
    Kun Costa Rashford

    Pickford Chadli Smith Amat

    1. The Donald
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      get karius out of there

      1. Areid13
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        boruc?

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

      Chadli has bad fixtures - get Snodgrass instead

      Kone Valencia and McAuley all have bad fixture runs coming too... rebalance...

    3. Areid13
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      who then?

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

    53 WITH TRIPLE AGUERO.....ANTONIO CAPOUE HEATON COSTA TO GO.....

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

    Firmino owners fear not, he will be amongst the points all season, especially over the next 6 weeks & he's 100% nailed and plays 90 mins every week. I really wouldn't swap him for another liverpool mid, but I will be doubling up.

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

      this

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

      Reason has no place on here during match days.

    3. Numb

      Like today?

  7. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years

    Bonus points for

    Coutinho
    Aguero

    Anyone?

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

      3 n 1

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

        1 n 3 sorry

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

      Coutinho 1

      Kun might scrape 3.

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Something to cheer about. Where can I check all this?

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

          Click on any fixture on the FPL site and it tells you the highest bps scorers.

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

    How many players do people have tomorrow? For most I assume Antonio + Capoue?

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

      Capoue,Redmond and Deeney

    2. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Payet

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah

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

      Deeney & Antonio

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

    Thoughts on this move-

    Firmino Puncheon -> Milner Son(-4)

    Maybe knee jerky but at the very least I get some rises and don't have to cheer on that troll Firmino.

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

      Bonkers

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nope

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    My team for next week would be:

    AOA
    Foster
    Evans Valencia
    Sanchez Capoue Mane (C) De Bruyne Bolasie
    Rondon Rashford Lukaku

    Bench: Pope, Friend, Stones, Love

    Am I right to wait one week and Wildcard over the International Break?

  13. kapulasta
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Hey guys i have figured it out, just get 3 Liverpool mids and bench the blanking one each week, easy isnt it?

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

      And play 5 defenders the weeks Liverpool dont turn up

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

    What's a good score for non Kun owners this week? 🙁

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

      patience

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

        Right.He's in this week

  15. The Donald
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero is essential no way around it

  16. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Is Rashford fixture proof ?

    STO liv che in next 3. not the best of fixtures

    But remember he scored against arsenal and city last season

    1. Magic Man
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Troy Deeney mate

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

      not the best defences.

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

    45 with antonio and holebas to go, could be worse

  18. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Best Stones replacement? Nobody really stands out...

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

      Williams probably

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

        Not convinced by Everton defence, only Coleman appeals but he's too expensive

  19. Kane Train
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    De Bruyne > Coutinho ?

  20. Magic Man
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    49 with Holebas Antonio Sanchez and Deeney - nice 😀

  21. Big Red Dog
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    How long do we expect De Bruyne out?

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

      For ever on my team, think this game just proved that when kun is in, kdb should be out of your fpl

  22. woody3260
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Walcott essential following this game..

  23. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Benteke owners, what to do with him?
    Got him in wc gw 4: 7-2-6, not bad but will he keep scoring lucky points? Rashford, Janssen Deeney knocking

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

      Get rid

    2. Norfolk&Chance
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      im keeping - nxt fixture doesnt seem so bad after today's performance from everton.

    3. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If anything he's been unlucky not to be involved more.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        really? I have not watched Palace game, have you?

    4. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      think i'll get Rashford

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

      Dunno. Prob keep & save Transfer.

    6. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Keep. He getting plenty of crosses. Much needed cheaper forward.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers Jafa
        Seeing Whoscored, he has 5 shots today!

        1. OPTA FPL
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          8

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

      Apparently he was lively all game, so not entirely bad. I'm an owner too and might keep for now

    8. Ste Wilkinson
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I got rid of him 1 minute before he scored for Rashford. I've made money on him and I don't think he's going to get lions share of goals for palace.

  24. Jasoooooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Is it crazy to consider Milner??

  25. Pinky and Brain
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Coleman with 3 bonus in 1-0 defeat?!

    1. ***00tennis***
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      yeah he attacked whole game=BAPS

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

    Ibra + Snoddy > Rashford + Sterling -4?

    Or

    Benteke > Rashford ?

  27. Viper
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    50 inc. bonus with Sanchez, Antonio & hopefully Holebas to play.

    How have you other wildcarders got on?

    1. Net Gains
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Wow, good job. I'm on 53 with 4 left so quite similar.
