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

      1. ChristoBisto
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        "so far". Don't know if you read that? Have you got Zlatan? Did you captain him?

  8. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    That's gonna be extremely painful for the zlatan tcers

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Or any kind of Ibra owner

  9. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years

    United in a spot of bother now, their next 2x games are Liverpool away & Chelsea away... they'll be doing very well to get 2 points from those 2 games. There may trouble ahead for Jose!

    Switch Clyne, Sterling and Deeney out with Stones, Fer and Costa?? It will give me -4.

    Thank you in advance.

    5. teki0s
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Of course not.
      Sterling is gold for now, hasnt even played yet today.
      Deeney good form and good fixtures
      Im not a fan of Clyne but he is probably goin to be the highest scoring DEF in LIV

      Fer wont be scoring all the time
      Stones, city cant keep a CS yet
      Costa is indeed a good player atm.

    Wanted to be too clever last week and thought Aguero > Ibra > Aguero (back to back transfers) but thanks too all the people who kept me off it. Cheers guys! FFS is not useless ...

    Welll, so far, so good, Ibra blanked, let's just hope San(C)hez does something, otherwise Ibra's flop doesn't mean sh*t

    Sanchez (c) are all left to play

    Dropped Ibra a while ago. Taking over my friend league today after my mate at the top was bragging for 7 weeks and yesterday that he had today.

    Lol.

    Zlatan captain fail, there goes the red arrow once more

  24. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, get the hell out of my team Zlatan. I don't think I've ever been this upset about a player failing.

    1. Pedram
      • 12 Years

      You won't fool me again

  25. Sourabh
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    People here addressed Ibra sellers as SINNERS, but the decision is much better than holding him ... 11.5M striker is blanking for some time

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

      Yeah at least we didn't suffer price drop

  26. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Antonio & Rashford -> Walcott & Austin. No hit.

    How does that look provisionally?

  27. cravencottage

    The Special One so overrated. He should retire

    Bitterley disappointed Zlatan (c). All those shots saved.
    Ah well. Part of the game.
    Please don't gloat too hard. Captain fails happen to all of us.
