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 bought for 10.8 so only.1 loss to transfer to Ibra and buy back probably at 10.9. But need to save.3 elsewhere so means - 4. So would you

    A Keep and play Holebas or De Roon in his place and save 1 free transfer or use it for Siggy to Lallana

    B Tranfer Costa to Kane and Holebas to Nyom for -4

    1. Les Bleus

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years

      Friend could be a decent shout.

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Awkward people didn't know Ake was a Chelsea player.

    Forever on loan, like Piazon and 50 others.

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

      Thought he was already suspended for this game? Got a yellow in the mid-week game no?

    What if I told you man utd faces 7 teams in bottom half of the table in next 8 games

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

      I'm waiting for the match to finish before I do Kane to ibra!
      Even if Kane scores a hat trick I won't have no regrets as spurs have southamp ton & chelsea in next 3 & those 2 have not been conceding

  8. Ghost86
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Payet one of the worst transfers so far worth keeping?

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

      I captained him for both...I think he will come good at some point, whm as a team just aren't loo very good atm.

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

        Looking*

    2. Leaf

      There is always Swansea

    3. Ghost86
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ouch captained him

      Siggy/ lalanna tempting to swap

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

    Can managers go out on loan? For example could WBA loan Swansea Tony Pulis?

    Just wondering wether if it's worth keeping Amat.

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If you pay me a cate of Stella daily for 3 months I would consider it.

    2. Mílanista

      VR's owners are apparently sounding out BFS!

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

        Ville Ronka is owned?

  10. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    The page on player history should have a column stipulating cards accumulated in cup matches to stop all this confusion

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

      Who got booked in the cup?

  11. Digital-Real

    Good grief, UTD play some dull football.

    1. grumpyman

      Take it you didn't see the goal then?

      1. Digital-Real

      It's Mourinho style perfected over years . LVG loves this method too.

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        It's just cross the ball to Ibra, repeat.

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

    That's it then, with Ibra banned I'm using my FT to finally bring Costa in.

    A. Not a good option
    B. Can these clowns be stopped posting this crud?

  13. Ëð
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Got the funds to do Costa -> Ibra if I do it tonight.

    Bought Costa at £10.6 and can sell for £10.8.

    Worth it?

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

      Yes

    2. NestorC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I am doing it by the same circumstances

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

      Yes and he might drop 0.2 or 0.3 in price

        1. Tansey
          • 11 Years

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Rojo makes Gabriel look a decent defender

    I need help guys
    Costa Defoe and Fletcher to

    A) Llorente Ibra Zaha(3-4-3 rotate Zaha i Llore)
    B) Diomande Ibra Siggy(3-5-2)

    Thanks

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

    I'm gonna go against the grain I think and go Origi (if fit) instead of Ibra.. Take the risk just so I can have a stellar 5th mid in a 3-5-2

    Probably pay for it, so who's with me?. 😛

  20. Oven Glover
    • 10 Years

    Don't have Costa, already have Ibra. Also have 2 FTs and some money ITB.

    Cresswell-> Azpi solid? Azpi, Alonso & Haz against BOU looks good.

    Also thinking Eriksen -> Lallana with the other FT. Wait till they've played obviously. Thoughts?
