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.

      Thing is I'm going to sell Ibra now (obviously) but he is going to absolutely make it rain on some team soon given the amount of shots he's had 🙁

        Its the money tied up in him that's the issue. Great stats but no FPL points still means horrible value.

          true dat. great stats don't always = value

      So many chances/ shots for Ibra this last 2 weeks

            As a United fan and non United players owner the match is perfect for me so far.

          • Goodricke
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Ibra was out of my team after today anyway, but a C fail has really drilled it home.

            1. Whats the Huth
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Not over yet

          • Gooner97
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Blind is a fecking BAPS magnet

            1. Whats the Huth
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Rotation risk surely

          • InSaneMan-e

            9 years, 6 months ago

            Guys, anyone know what happened to Mikhitaryan?
            I know he was injured before, but as far as I know he should have been back 2 weeks back...

            Rift with Mourinho?

            Ibra has already ruined my season. Never again.

            My guy Jonny Walters! Do some magic now 🙂

              9 years, 6 months ago

              I still remember his hatty a couple of seasons ago.

                • 11 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                Exactly. Bought him as a one week punt then, and the guy scored a hattrick 😆 Everyone was so pissed at me then 🙂

          • Moyeschester
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Walters Goal and OG at injury time incoming.

            • 16 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            I'd swap my Valencia cs for a stoke goal. Crouchy the boy to do it

            1. Whats the Huth
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Why

          • jam sandwich
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Valencia close to 1 BAP

            1. El-Kloppico
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Stoke will score on 85min

              1. Whats the Huth
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                You're hoping

              2. Tired and weary

                Called it!

            2. Whats the Huth
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Let's go Valencia!!!!

          • TheTinman
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Score?

          • boc610
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Arnie has been shocking ,saw him give the ball away on so many ocassions

          • Differentiator
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Could do with a Blind/Bailly/Smalling YC to push Valencia into the baps

          • El-Kloppico
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Is it really a Rooney assist?
            He hardly touched the ball.

          • KOLASINA(C)
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Who to get for Ibra? Already own Lukaku and Aguero.

            1. El-Kloppico
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Giroud.. after Intl break.

              Same dilemma. Really want to fix my defence but ibra being this bad is killing me

              Deeney maybe
