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

    Bony lacks both fitness and sharpness in an incredible amount.

    He is either carrying snuggling injury or is a very lazy man to still be so far off the pace he needs to be at this stage. Awful.

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

      Could be preggers?

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Nah. Pregnancy wouldn't make him that unfit.

    2. Exeter Gently
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      a snuggling injury, sounds like one of those good problems

    3. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Can you get injured from snuggling too much?

      1. Exeter Gently
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        if its rough snuggling i suppose so

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          It's a lazy players version of niggling 😉

    4. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      So funny that people were actually considering him as a viable 3rd striker. Terrible player

    5. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      was always a Lazy player when it comes to his movements.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            9 years, 6 months ago

            It was a red for me

          • Moyeschester
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            😀

        2. 8ball
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Why do they credit the cleanie 60 minutes into the game? Why not wait till full time?

          1. Lanley Staurel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Due to 15 years of the same rule.

          2. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Because at that moment in time they have a clean sheet.

        3. PvA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Son OOP as a striker

          1. Worzel Gummidge
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Antonio to Son is easy FT for me.

            • Chucky
              • 12 Years

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

              Damn you above.

              Not that I own him, but even with Kane on the pitch he used to get his fair share of goals.
