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.

    Will Ibra's price drop survive the night?

    1. Pariße
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe

    2. Podge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Does it make any difference ?

      1. jmcclory123
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yes if he drops it prevents me from doing particular transfer.

    3. Disco Volante

      Probably not. Sell him regardless.

    Anyone else looking at Cameron (4,4) from Stoke as a cheap OOP defender?

    1. Ha.
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Could have scored today

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He'll get cheaper. He did me wonders last year at 4.2.

  3. ekul the lokonga enthusiast

    Heung min son starts up top.

    Honestly. I might just do antonio to son earlt if he somehow pulls of a goal in this match

      1. BB-8
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly. Glad I kept him.Well done on captaining him. 🙂

    When was the last time a player had 4 shots on target in a game and still blanked?

    1. Rogue Todd
      10 years, 1 month ago

      About 10 minutes ago

      1. ryacoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Haha 😀

  6. Daniyal
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best Bournemouth defender?
    Regardless of price

    1. SirStevieG
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Smith by a mile.

    2. Whats the Huth
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Smith is a steal at his price

      1. davies
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Steal?

  7. camarozz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Couldnt have asked for more with that 1:1 draw. Rival triple capt ibra and double utd defence
    My sanchez (C) could be gold.

    1. zag
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same!

  8. Karan_G14
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Defoe? Can he do it at Stoke?

    1. Dokdok666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yes he can. If he blanks though, he could be out of my team

  9. HuttonDressedasLahm
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who's this Allison fella playing upfront for Spurs?

  10. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Lee Grant a viable option at 4.0m? He was immense today!

    1. Rogue Todd
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nicely spotted 🙂

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No. Butland back soon

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        10 years, 1 month ago

        His place to lose now I guess after that

    3. Ha.
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes until Butland returns

    4. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes but butland will surely be put str8 back into the team once hes fit.

      Same boat as pickford tbh

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        10 years, 1 month ago

        8 mil, 2 "current" starters

      1. Fred54
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Walcott.

  12. Venom Snake
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Clump
      10 years, 1 month ago

      🙂

  13. Jay_
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero EO?

  14. joescores
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford will be replaced by Martial.

  15. Rich_20
    10 years, 1 month ago

    De gea has achieved some weird status where he is infallible. Listening to Owen is painful.

  16. Kno
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Defore or tekkers in for zlat? Antonio is turning into sanchez as well

    1. Kno
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Defoe even

    2. Pierce34
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Benteke.

  17. Sourabh
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Any replacement for Janssen

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The united one still around?

  19. All Hail K
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Glad I swapped Ibra for Rashford, doubles my points.

  20. SpaceCadet
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra bomb averted. Let's go Kun

    1. Hairy Potter
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully. Definitely feel I've got lucky thus far today with the Ibra blank.

  21. Eden Azzzar
    10 years, 1 month ago

    For the first time this season I might not make a transfer this week

  22. Emiliano Sala
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Which gw you think kane will be back ?

  23. Salahbrate
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Top 3 GKs atm?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pickford
      Grant
      Jakupovic

      No point wasting money on them

      1. Salahbrate
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I guess grant would be the best choice or? For how long will he play.. Or is Pickford a more secure choice?

  24. Boydinho
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Cameron or Pieters for Lovren replacement? To able Antonio -> Wally

  25. Rogue Todd
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Blind and Bailly likely to stay on 3 and 2 BAPS respectively?

  26. Fowler23
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Moaninho complaining saying it could've been 7-0

  27. Whats the Huth
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I really needed Aguero and ibra blank.
    Halfway there so far.

    Need Sanchez to explode though.

    Been a horrible start for me

    1. The Donald
      10 years, 1 month ago

      why don't you have Aguero?

  28. southernpacific
    10 years, 1 month ago

    -8 for me then

  29. boredjames
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I am so convinced that ibra will come good that I am going to sell him and then buy him back at 0.3 less with my 2ft

    1. gonzalocampos
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Keep it an captain him next week LOL
