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.

    how high will Ibra rank on the goals imminent table?

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

    2. Revival

    3. Jay_
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Dunno but not good for bps in this game, even if he scores a goal probably won't even get a bap

      1. johnbarnes
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        shots on target make you lose bps?

    This is the worst. That sinking feeling when you come to realise that you've made a bad decision.

    1. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years

      Long time to go.

      Fellow Ibra keeper?

      I was 5 seconds from Ibra and Redmond to Rashford and Sanchez (-4)

      Really wish I had now

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Ibra keeper and captainer.

    Which GK combo will prove to be the best VALUE over the season?

    A.) just playing DDG (9.5m)

    B.) Pickford & Mandanda (8.4m)

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

  6. Clump
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    This Stoke keeper looks impressive.

  7. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    30 mins gone

    Ibra could have had a goal and assist at least yet he has nothing. Bad decision to own/captain him

    I'll accept it

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Accepting defeat I give you my respect. But still hahaha

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I'll take it as a man

    2. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Still plenty of time left.Kaku scored his hattie in 13 mins...just saying

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Don't give me false hope Chucky, it's over.

  8. Chucky
    • 12 Years

    Is bony even playing?

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

      He watching from the sidelines.....with Ibra

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      he is but his ball control has been awful so far

  9. HuttonDressedasLahm

    9 years, 9 months ago

    Arnie looking a shoe-in on my WC this week

    1. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Really?

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

        Or Shaq

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Looks like he can't be bothered. Even when Stoke have possession on the counter he doesn't seem to muster more than a jog. He looks disinterested to me.

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

        I'm just going from Livescores!
        His name coming up a lot

      2. JIM BOB
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        That's a little harsh. He was like that when he was on song last season. More his style than anything...

  10. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Going to change my grav to a good football player

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Wayne?

    2. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Want me to tell you my name 😉

  11. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Valenica looking likely to pick up a second yellow in this match.

    1. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Could have already had it :S

  12. Optimus.
    • 15 Years

    Rash allover Johnson

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He should get a cream for that

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      😮 😛

  13. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Bony is so awful

    1. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      His touch is just awful now.

  14. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Stoke still haven't scored yet.

    1. Kaneyonero

    SUN hul SWA whm BOU

    Stokes fixtures looking incredible!

    1. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Aye.

    2. Jay_
      9 years, 9 months ago

      2 more strong homes in the next 4 after that too

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      But their team looks horrendous.

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

        There is that 🙂

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Fixtures are irrelevant when a team is playing this poorly.

    4. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      The problem is though, they never get to play Stoke

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

        😆

    5. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      The best fixtures possible

      Not sure who is worth it , Arnie I guess

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

      Stoke are the easy fixture for those teams

  16. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I am so hungover

    1. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      This game is making me feel 10 times worse

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Unless you have autocorrect, not really 🙂

  17. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Rashford wastes so much

  18. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    With SAF in charge Utd always managed to score right before halftime in games like these

    1. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      9 mins injury time helped 🙂

  19. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Utd look lacklustre.
    Already sold Ibra for Kun! Justified.
    Only 1 Utd player at the back is more than enough cover one would seem!!!

  20. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Arnie price?

    1. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      7.2

  21. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Irrelevant player to score for Man Utd

  22. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Lol why is joe Allen marking pogba when defending corners

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Why not, that is the real question

  23. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Why is rashford not playing?

  24. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Scores probably gonna be 0-0 until 90th minute and Rashford will score the winner like he always does

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Pieters*

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

    71% possession and can't score. says it all really!

    1. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Possession means sod all. Leicester and LVG proved that last season.

      Don't get the obsession with possession stats.

  26. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    This has all gone a bit flat

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

      Classic United early kick off

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        They're not very exciting like my Arsenal

        Maybe because I have both their strikers currently

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Utd can't play the bottom team every week......oh wait

  27. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    When is Kun coming on?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Soon my friend. Soon.

      Our defence is going to nullify the mighty kun anyway

  28. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Ibra cannot believe how poor his teammates are. They create nothing.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years

        This

  29. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I have Grant but didn't start him 🙁

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      if you had started him then you playing FPL wrong

      1. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        not really I usually start keepers that get more shots against them for save pts, but honestly thought Foster would keep a cleansheet which they hadn't had for a while

  30. devils advocate
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    We are really good at putting it out of touch for no apparent reason. If you could score fpl points for that our players would be fantasy gold.

    Might write an email to towers and see if this can be added for next season.
