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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Does it make any difference ?

      1. jmcclory123
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

    3. Disco Volante
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Probably not. Sell him regardless.

  2. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

      Could have scored today

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

    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

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

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        About 10 minutes ago

        1. ryacoo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

    3. Daniyal
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Best Bournemouth defender?
      Regardless of price

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

        Smith by a mile.

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

        Smith is a steal at his price

        1. davies
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Steal?

    4. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Same!

    5. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Thoughts on Defoe? Can he do it at Stoke?

      1. Dokdok666
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

    6. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Who's this Allison fella playing upfront for Spurs?

    7. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Nicely spotted 🙂

      2. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        No. Butland back soon

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          His place to lose now I guess after that

      3. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yes until Butland returns

      4. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

        Same boat as pickford tbh

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          8 mil, 2 "current" starters

          Template changed weekly

          Week after this will be awful

        • HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Needs more Milner

        • gonzalocampos
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Who is Wally?

          1. Fred54
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Walcott.

      4. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years

        Well that was a great result 😀

        1. Clump

          🙂

      5. Jay_
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Aguero EO?

        • joescores
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Rashford will be replaced by Martial.

        • Rich_20
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

        • Kno
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. Kno
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Defoe even

          2. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Benteke.

        • Sourabh
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Any replacement for Janssen

        • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          The united one still around?

        • All Hail K
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Glad I swapped Ibra for Rashford, doubles my points.

        • SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Ibra bomb averted. Let's go Kun

          1. Hairy Potter
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

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

        • Eden Azzzar
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

        • Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Which gw you think kane will be back ?

        • Salahbrate
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Top 3 GKs atm?

          1. HuttonDressedasLahm
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Pickford
            Grant
            Jakupovic

            No point wasting money on them

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

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

        • Boydinho
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

        • ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

        • Fowler23
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Moaninho complaining saying it could've been 7-0

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

            why don't you have Aguero?

        • southernpacific
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          -8 for me then

        • boredjames
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months 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
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Keep it an captain him next week LOL
