Sunday treats us to four Premier League matches before the second international break of the season is thrust upon us.

First up, we make our way to Old Trafford as United welcome struggling Stoke City.

With a single goal in the last four rounds of fixtures, Zlatan Ibrahimovic ended as runner-up in captain poll with just under 22% of the votes csat.

The big Swede warmed up for this one by netting the Europa League winner against Zorya on Thursday night, though another failure to deliver is likely to spark significant sales over the next fortnight.

Ibra was sold by more Fantasy Premier League managers than any forward last week, in spite of today’s plum fixture.

Marcus Rashford, meanwhile, has been subject to significant transfers in after netting in three of the last four league fixtures.

Up against a Potters defence that shipped 15 goals in their first six, the duo look the men most likely as Jose Mourinho seeks to build on the back of last week’s 4-1 home win over champions Leicester City.

Both sides make no changes from their Gameweek 6 starting XIs this lunchtime, with Wayne Rooney once again warming the Red Devils’ bench.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    What a turn around Man Utd 0-3 Stoke would be

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Triple captain your Liverpool Midfielder vs Utd in GW8 then

    2. faver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No with Herrera on the field. Sorry.

    As a non Ibra owner I am banking on a hattie . Anything less will be a bonus.
    Keeps me in front of the couch at least

    1. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I'm expecting a brace 🙂

    2. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Rashford gaining some points eases the pain too... It's not that bad... (Saying this kinda acknowledges it's bad though 😀 )

  12. willl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Ibra needs to get 10 points today for me to keep him.

    Hopefullu Arny or Shaqiri look good today, looking to get one of them in pretty soon.

    1. faver
      • 10 Years

      Bony!

  13. Giovanni Giorgio

    Stoke trying every tactic to throw Utd off

  17. Jay_
      9 years, 6 months ago

      So that's what Grant looks like. Him or Pieters probably in next for me.

    • PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Who remembers what happened the last time Ibra faced Shawcross?

    • sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A Bony goal could be good too. He'd make a great differential for third striker.

    • My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Here se go...

    • sminkypinky

        Only halfway through this week so I hate to jump the gun, but looking forward to next week -

        From recent memory, Aguero always seems to absolute of his nut in GW8 and delivers a monster haul.

        City at home to Everton. What do we think my esteemed FPL managers?

      • Jafooli
