After United’s 1-1 draw against Stoke at Old Trafford, we now have a couple of 2.15pm kick-offs to continue a busy Sunday schedule.

Man City’s trip to Spurs is the pick of the two matches as Pep Guardiola’s side seek to maintain their 100% Premier League record.

Sergio Aguero’s performance is eagerly anticipated after Zlatan Ibrahimovic blanked once again earlier today.

Drafted in by more Fantasy Premier League managers than any player last Gameweek, he has served up 13 points in each of his two away appearances so far but faces a tough task against the league’s most resilient rearguard.

Heung-Min Son is the home side’s form player.

The South Korean has bagged four goals and an assist in the previous three and fired a midweek Champions League winner in Moscow. Deliver against Pep Guardiola’s side and we can expect the bandwagon to pick up speed over the international break.

Champions Leicester welcome Southampton to the King Power on the back of a midweek Champions League win over Porto.

The Foxes have only failed to win one of their first three home fixtures – a goalless draw against Arsenal – though face a tough task to break down a stubborn Saints’ rearguard that have racked up five successive clean sheets across all competitions.

Whilst Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez struggle to reprise last season’s form, new boy Islam Slimani has wasted little time in settling into life under Claudio Ranieri. He bagged a brace in his previous league appearance at the King Power and also netted the winner on Tuesday evening.

Charlie Austin was rested for the Saints’ Europa League clash with Hapoel Beer Sheva on Thursday and returns to the starting XI today, having netted five times in his last four across all competitions.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        9 years, 6 months ago

        Dead teams probably

    3. Pooodle
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Think he's going for me this week. Only problem is Lukaku is the obvious replacement and has City away

  4. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

  5. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    We are so fortunate as in Ibra owners.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Non-Ibra owners*

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Let's see how kun or sanchez do. It maybe them who are fortunate

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

    Any reason not to do Ibra and Puncheon out for Lukaku and Walcott this week?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nada one

    2. Mick J
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Well, Puncheon could get a couple of assists against West Ham next gameweek. And you might get a couple of injuries during the break. But other than that, not much.

  7. Colonel Shoe 肝池

  8. Kitman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    and so the How do I get Ibra out discussion starts.

    How does Ibra + Antonio > Deeney + Sanchez sound?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      sounds very good

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

      sounds like your alarm failed 2 weeks ago 🙂

      1. Kitman

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

        I know, and my team is looking awful template now

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

    Worst week I've ever had in 3 seasons of playing this game

    Heaton
    Stones, Shaw, Evans
    Sanchez, Coutinho, Sterling, Capoue
    Ibra, Aguero, Deeney

    de Roon, Kaboul, Amat

    Many issues with this team. Who would you take out?

    Thinking Shaw and Ibra out for -4...

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

      4 seasons actually

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Ibra out, Shaw out. Get an Arsenal defender

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

        Lukaku?

        1. DV8R
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Sounds like the best option right now

    3. 824545201
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      You should really upgrade Capoue or de Roon, you don't want Capoue as your fourth mid.
      Your defense is also pretty weak, lots of changes necessary.

  10. Guy Demel
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Ibra quickly finding out that he's not playing the equivalent of conference teams every week this season.

  11. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    2 weeks break for Zlatan, he's the man for the big occasion, think he will score against Liverpool but expecting a 0.3 price drop this week, are people keeping or selling???

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      0.3 drop and you still thinking about keeping?

      1. JayBomb
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        No your probably right, other forwards are Costa and Kun thinking of bringing in Deeney?

    2. JayBomb
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      You have to remember it's a points game not a money game as in rises and falls.

  12. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Assuming there are no injuries in my team.. Is this good for 2 FT?

    Antonio + Williams -> Snodgrass + Bellerin

    1. Dazzler365
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I have them both too with 2 free transfers, not sure what to do

  13. stachman
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    CapKun - please don't let me down...

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

    Who would you rather have for the next two games?

    A. Walcott
    B. Payet
    C. Coutinho

    1. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

  16. willl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Son looks very threatening.

  17. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Got walker and kun in this one.don't know what I want.

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

      Kun blank and Walker goal, as everyone will be having Kun anyways

  18. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero blank incoming with Navas playing

  19. willl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Ibra, Antonio, Kone to Deeney, Son, Koscielny for -4.

    Worth it?

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

      Yes

  20. Aarono23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Might as well just fill my defence with 4m valued defenders this season considering the points my current defenders have given me this season.

    1. Dazzler365
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking about using 2 free transfers to ship money out of defence
