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.

    We know Shaqiri is a great player, but is he good for FPL?

    Shaqiri hasn't been able to replicate his Swiss form.

    Arnie clearly the better option right?

      Ibra & Rashford double up fail. Such a crap start to this FPL season. Arghhh!!!

      1. Scholes Balls
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        double up on united defence has been much worse

      2. Tansey
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Might have been a bit of supporters bias in that team

    9. Fpldonny
      • 10 Years

      Ibra 11.2 by next gameweek

        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

    18. Debauchy

      Ok lads , can start crawling out , but no rush hey

    19. Hyperion
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Oh my God that corner from Rooney

    20. Hendomania
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Looking at Shot Stats:

      Man Unt 23 shots - 9 on target.
      Stoke 7 shots - 6 on target.

      Not watching the game - who's responsible for the 16 shots off target that would have broken down those attacking moves?

      1. SamH123
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        9 on target out of 23 is a fairly normal, if not decent proportion.

      2. Scholes Balls
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        herera had like 6 off target

      Oh Pogba, thumbs down

    23. Pedram
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Being patient with Ibra clearly didn't work

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yep he's going for me too.

    24. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Average down to 23 after united lost their cs 😀

    25. Goodricke
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago
