Saturday’s action concludes at the Hawthorns where Manchester United drop in on an in-form West Bromwich Albion.

The Fantasy attention will be split here, with United’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic owned by 28.4% and captained by 13% up against a popular West Brom rearguard.

While Tony Pulis’ defence has kept just a single clean sheet in 13, the likes of Gareth McAuley and Craig Dawson offer a big threat from set-pieces, while Chris Brunt’s delivery could be vital.

Brunt provided a pair of assists in the midweek victory over Swansea City from left-back but is pushed forward into a midfield role this evening as Dawson returns from suspension, shifting Allan Nyom to left-back.

Significantly, almost 500,000 of McAuley’s 1.2 million owners keep him on the bench for this one – 360,000 of Foster’s 664,000 ownership do the same with the Baggies keeper.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    No players 🙁

      Don't hate the player, hate the game

      Got Lord Nyom on the bench in case Walker is benched. Any Walker benching rumors?

    3. Shultan
      • 9 Years

      I wish transfers were stopped until all weekend marches over, want to do Kane >ibra but want to watch both of them play 1st

    My stream is 5 minutes behind, no spoilers please.

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      3-0 already

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

        Just seen the first goal, great strike....

  3. James101
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    How much will Costa go down before he next plays?

    I'd lose £0.4 selling him now (though I'd make at least £0.1 on Zlat I guess.

    Any of you tempted to just keep him?

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Might drop 0 1

      1. James101
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        No more?

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Don't think so. A lot will be reluctant to get rid.

      2. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure about that. Seems a lot of managers play week to week.

    2. James101
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He's been great for me so far

    3. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I can sell him for 10.8 and it's likely he'll drop to that so I'm tempted to transfer him out and get him back in

      1. James101
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I bought him at 10.2, so I'd only get 10.6 for him.

        May just keep

    United win, BTTS (to win me $140)

    Decent chance of that happening, yeah?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      West Brom look good

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Little chance

  11. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    This on the cards for a -4 next week. Could be a bonanza.
    Bobby -> Alexis
    Kane -> Tekkers
    Costa -> Ibra

    1. davies
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Is the Tekkers move the fund it, yeah?

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah.

  12. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I suppose the Costa ban is ok for those looking to restore Aguero in a couple of weeks.

    Costa > Rondon makes Kane > Aguero easy meat,

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Rondon? With those fixtures?

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Looks like the population transfer....rising quickly. I can only think it with folk having one eye on Aguero.

    2. davies
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Keeping Costa, Hazard, Sanchez and getting Aguero for Ibra

      Downgrading Siggy > 6.0 + no Chelsea defence is how

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

      why would you ditch Costa?

  13. Niemi
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Heaton (MID)
    Clyne (STK) - Alonso (BOU) - Holebas (CRY)
    Hazard (BOU) - Sanchez (WBA) - Eriksen (sot) - Sigurdsson (WHU)
    Origi (STK) - Lukaku (lei) - Costa***

    Bench: De Roon (bur), Evans (ars), B. Smith (che)

    2FT, 0.1ITB. What to do? Tempted to do a very dull move and bring in Friend or Chambers for Evans and play 4-4-2 next GW.

  14. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    So, what's the consensus with Siggy and Carroll friends?

    I bought Carroll for a 2 weeks punt, but failed as expected.
    Swansea is just trying to book their way into championship..
    What do we do?

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I will give Siggy one more game, the only other options I have is Siggy to Lalana

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Same about Hazard in my team

      2. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Was considering this move. The Monday match will say it all.

    2. Cato Fong 你好
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Keep for next two then re-evaluate with Siggy! Carroll who knows...

    3. TooDifficuIt
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      leave siggy for the two good home games coming and if you dont have any other issues maybe downgrade carroll and upgrade 5th mid

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Downgrade to?

  15. Cato Fong 你好
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Chelsea need to start scoring more than one goal a game to justify keeping Hazard surely....

    1. davies
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He's my only way of Chelsea CS points 😛

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Kevin Kilbane knows what he's talking about!

    ' I think West Brom have a lot of men in their side.

    Throughout the side they have real leaders, Chris Brunt, James Morrison, Darren Fletcher. They have a real good mixture in the side.'

    Morrison is on the bench and no mention of G Mac as a leader. Idiot

    Ah there goes my McAuley CS I knew it was coming though wishful thinking but I hope he gets a set piece assist or goal now.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Only played him for the attacking returns.
