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.

    Costa and Pieters to Jones and Ibra ? (2FT and 1.5 ITB to for Kane to Costa following GW?)

      I'm doing the same except Evans out instead of Pieters

    kane to ibra, wise more ?
    got costa but keeping him on the bench for next gw. As i brought him for 9.5, back in the old days....

      Wait for after Tot game and make your decision then. Ibra's looking good ...

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      If you have no pressing transfers and FT to spare then Costa to Ibra and back is a possible 0.1 or .2 TV maker and points to boot. I would never advocate a sole TV strategy, but in this case, it isn't. Have a look yourself.

    Kane ➡ Ibra today already, as Ibra is rising?

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Kane?!

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm doing the same after final whistle

      1. Sif
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Me 2, Costa out would be ideal but would lose 1mil.
        Kane got 2 away games next and the potential to blank v Hull types.

    3. Styles_X
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He will rise

  6. WE ARE RANGERS

      Costa

    2. Styles_X
      • 10 Years

      Depends on if you bought Costa at 10.5+ or not

  12. NestorC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    A) Llorente Zaha Ibra

    OR

    B) Diomande Siggy Ibra

    Thanks

    1. NestorC

    Is De Roon now essential ?

    1. WE ARE RANGERS

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      de Roon has always been essential.
      Stir fried shredded sprouts with streaky bacon and garlic is amazing.
      Yes.

  14. Pochecinno
    • 11 Years

    What likelihood would you say is there for Ibrahimovic to go up in price tomorrow night as well?

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'd say Likely but if Kane blanks or even scores only one goal, It will be very likely.

      1. Pochecinno
        • 11 Years

      With the market has gone crazy this year i would take it as a given

      1. Pochecinno

        Yeah. Cheers.

    Rashford felt the Brunt of the force. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaoooowwwww!

  16. Thunder Warrior

    Kane and Siggy to Ibra and Lallana?

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Siggy up against hammers

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't ship Siggy. Find another way to bring in Zlatan imo.

  17. Jay_
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Costa bought at 10.6. Current price 11.0. SV 10.8. Dropping tonight/tomorrow will lose SV

    Kane bought at 10.8. Current price 11.3. SV 11.2. Possible rise tomorrow will gain SV

    In my case, Costa to Ibra tonight makes most sense, right?

    1. Jay_
      9 years, 7 months ago

      0.4 ITB

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      SV for Kane?

      1. Jay_
        9 years, 7 months ago

        11.2

        1. Jay_
          9 years, 7 months ago

          11.0 Sorry!

        2. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years

          CP for Kane?

        3. Coaly
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Wrong if pp is correct

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      SV of Kane should be 11.0 no?

      1. Jay_
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yep, my mistake

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years

          lol 😛

        2. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Well yea idk, I'm in the same boat here but only 0.2 itb so to avoid a hit I'm looking at Kane to Ibra and play Amat instead of Costa. With you I'm not so sure, selling Costa feels odd, he scores in every games if he wants!

    4. liiusions
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm in the same situation and thinking the same. If Kane blanks tomorrow he'll drop no doubt though

      1. Jay_
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Even if he drops though, could still get Costa back with a direct swap as Costa will drop too

      2. tisza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        not sure Kane will drop. Every chance there will be a number of Ibra - owners who will bring Kane in for Costa.

    5. Styles_X
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      It's

    6. rocky7st
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm in a similar position although got Kane in at 10.9

      I'm selling Costa then probably do Kane to Costa next week

    7. 8ball
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Similar situation. Decided to bench Costa and play Allen next week against his old team. Don't want to waste a ft doing Costa to Ibra and then Kane to Costa.

    8. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      costa to ibra then next GW probably Kane to Costa.
      figure costa 10.8 to ibra 11.2.
      Kane 11.1 to costa 10.8 (price drop)

      Kane might even be 11.2 SV as Ibra & Costa owners will probably bring in Kane this GW. + bank Ibra rise.

  18. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Pick one to become my starter next week:

    a) Gundogan > Can

    b) Costa > Ibra

  19. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Any chance Benteke could match Ibra for points over next 5?

    Benteke

    18 Watford (A)
    19 Arsenal (A)
    20 Swansea (H)
    21 West Ham (A)
    22 Everton (H)

    Ibrahimovic

    18 Sunderland (H)
    19 Middlesbrough (H)
    20 West Ham (A)
    21 Liverpool (H)
    22 Stoke (A)

    Benteke fixtures get better after the next 5.

    Thanks.

    1. Pochecinno
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      It's not a straight H2H as you'd likely captain Ibrahimovic in some of them

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I would consider Benteke captain. But I have Hazard, Kane and Sanchez too.

  20. Pie-o-My
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Everyone taking hits for zlatan? I've just changed my plans. Can't get rid of costa as I got him at 9.6. I had saved my ft to get lallana in this week and still want to so how does this look for a -4;

    Kane Siggy Wilson -> Zlatan Lallana Ilorente

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Don't

      1. Pie-o-My
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        To the point!

    2. Styles_X
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Only zlatan for today if you want him. Wait till tomorrow for others

      1. Pie-o-My
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I can't really with the rises. Only way I can wait is if I change from Llorente to someone like anichibe. Nothing in the bank so need to free up .2 minimum to do kane to zlatan

        1. Styles_X
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Do it then. Wilson is useless and Swansea are useless

  21. El-Kloppico
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    The kast time I owned Ibra, he got me a series of 2pts..
    So, don't say you are not warned.
    Getting him tonight!

    1. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Same here - I refuse to learn from my own mistakes, though, so I'm getting him in regardless

  22. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I have exact cash to do Kane ➡ Ibra tonight. Bought Costa for 9.6. Would you do it?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Nice work getting Costa for 9.6. No i wouldnt do it. Spurs have good fixtures

    2. George James
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Can't believe Costa was ever 9.6!! Great effort. I would do it mate.

      Thoughts on my post below would be appreciated thanks

  23. TooDifficuIt
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    come on leko do something this cs has to go

  24. George James
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Cech / Pickford
    Lovren / Williams / Vertonghen / Amat / Francis
    Sanchez / Allen / Payet / Hazard / Capoue
    Kane / Costa / Origi

    Not usually a fan of taking hits but what the best option from below.

    A) Williams > Jones ( bench Costa play Allen and capoue)
    B) Williams + Payet > Alonso + Lallana -4 (bench Costa play Allen and capoue)
    C) Williams/Payet/Costa > David Luiz/Lallana/Ibra -8
    D) Williams/Lovren/Payet/Costa > Jones/Alonso/Lallana/Ibra -12

    Never done a -12 hit in my life but have exact money for it and can't help think it looks good.

    Thoughts ???

      B

  25. Clifford☯
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Got Exact money for Kane>Ibra. Should I pull the trigger before he rises tonight ?

    1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No, wait to see if Kane performs.

    2. Styles_X
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Same situation.

      To weigh it up Kane > Ibra is a simple transfer. Then it means you are free to do whatever you want following GW, like in maybe case sort out Hazard post Bou performance! Kane has been pretty Meh and not well selected so is disposable without much risk.

      Hazard/Capoue (or Whoever) and Costa > Ibra and Whoever, locks you into doing a future transfer of getting Costa because you are bound to want him back.

      So basically yes.

  26. Hochoki

    who is better option for long term ??

    1. origi
    2. benteke

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      2 for sure

    2. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Benteke
      Origi might lose his place with Sturridge

  27. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Rubbish scoreline.

  28. vardys party
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Only just bought Costa, was planning on keeping all season. Crazy to keep him and not swap for Ibra?

    1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No keep him, it's only 1 game ban, find another way to get Ibra, like I did by having a trash midfield.
