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.

    Dare to Zlat

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

    Damnit Ibra again.

    Wanted to do Lovren to Brunt with my FT but might look at Kane to Ibra now

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

    Wow Ibra has some excellent fixtures compared to Costa...

  4. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Ibra won't be tracked by an older player every week 😉

    1. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      That older player was beating him to the ball all day before the tug back. If he played for anyone other than Man Utd he wouldn't have gotten away with that

  5. Speédy

    9 years, 2 months ago

    are people really selling kane even before the game???

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

      They are.

    2. greghammer95
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Indeed, most bought him in for these 3 nice home fixtures. His next fixtures aren't nice and he's hardly looked in form.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        He has looked gash to be fair. Very disappointed with him so far. Not selling though.

        1. greghammer95
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Not criticising but intrigued as to why? His stats aren't great nor his fixtures, united' a fixtures are good for the next few. If you've got more pressing issues then obviously that'd be a reason but Kane just looks useless.

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

      Yep my plan was always to have him for 3 spurs home fixtures, then ibra for sun, mid & west ham

  6. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    which one?

    A)Siggy
    B)Atntonio

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

      *antonio

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy

    3. ***00tennis***
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy easy

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Ibra could easily get 3 or 4 next gw

    Costa or Kane to ibra?

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

      I'm losing Costa.

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        loser

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

          True

          1. La Roja
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            😀

    2. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Kane ➡ Ibra

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

      Isn't Costa the most obvious transfer?

    4. SANTACLAUS
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Costa based on fixture comparison

    5. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Doing Kane to Ibra, gona leave Costa sitting on my bench for the game out.

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

      Kane

  8. greghammer95
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Mark - I see that you got the flag changed for a couple of players last night (rightly so). Any chance of moving Costa's red flag until midweek? Xmas post and all that.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      This

  9. Deano
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Pogba will be a beast when he realises opposition players are allowed to tackle him in this league!

    1. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Now at least he's definitely looking like a £20M player. He still has the potential to look like a £25M player, though.

  10. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Lol@Kane sellers when he scores 4 2moro

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

      + 1

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hopefully he scores 4

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

      We would still get those points:)

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

        😀

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      this! what a conundrum they'll have when kane bags a hat trick and ibra now gets sent off after his yellow.

  11. El Libe
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Am i missing something? Why everyone talks about selling Kane for Ibra?

    1. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 2 months ago

      Fixtures.

    3. Licious Lizard

      Cause Ibra da bomb.

    4. The Polymath

      1. greghammer95
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        That's madness if you did it post deadline.

        Tonight is so sensible, though 😀

    5. GoodFella93
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Great fixtures for Ibrah as well as great form, £11.2m is 300k less than his starting price meaning he'll rise quicker, and he's the only solid cover for Man Utd unless you think there's value in Pogba.

      1. El Libe
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks man but i dont have trust in Mourinho's ManUtd!

  12. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you rather have?

    Kane away to Southampton or de Roon away to Burnley? x)

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      lol

    2. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years

      Kane all day

  13. fedolefan

    How many have West Brom scored?

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years

      Any number above 0 at the final whistle would be gratefully accepted.

      Good news for once 🙂

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Excellent from Rooney

    Hits the bar

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

    Great hit by Rooney

  17. SANTACLAUS
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Pogbas shielding is excellent

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

      Would you pay 90 something million for it

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

    Looking at their fixtures, United could easily finish second this season

    1. GoodFella93
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Given that everyone still has to play everyone I don't know how fixtures can come into a title/top four challenge at this stage.

  19. vectorman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Was all set to do the gamble. Origi instead of Ibra & Walcott for Capoue in a 3-5-2

    Foster
    Alonso/Mee/Cedric
    Sanchez/Hazard/Lallana/Walcott/Erik
    Origi/Kane

    This Ibra fellow don't make it easy does he?. Does look so much better too the first option without him. Otherwise I have to do something like Pickford for Foster, missing out on Walcott.. What would you do?

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Ibra yellow

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Ibra suspended?

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. TorresMagic™

    3. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      No - has already served a one game ban

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Thought people said here he had 4

      Thanks

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years

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

    5. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years

  25. GoodFella93
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    5th yellow for Zlatan, is that a suspension?

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

      It's his 6th...

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

      Already served one. That was number six.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He's now 4 yellows away from a TWO game ban. (Or is it 3 games for 10 yellows??)

  26. vectorman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Oh wait on, that was a yellow and a half.. 😀
