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.

  1. Total Foot 5

    9 years, 2 months ago

    Ibra's agent commision was approx 27 million Euros.

    that is a seriously big number.

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

      He scores when he wants tho. Worth the money

    2. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      for making 2 ends agree on a paper on where to sign, that is a mind-boggling number to earn for commision.

      Big number ti fit on the back of a jersey also ...

    Best 4.3 defender ?

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

      Ake

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

        Ake is 4.4 now.
        Only decent option is Nyom, but a couple of tough games and then off to AFCON.

        1. Richd
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah Ake rose the other day.

          Darn it. Always 0.1 mill short !

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

            So she told me ...

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

          Ahh, didn't know about nyom to afcon either

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

        He is 4.4

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

      I've seen there is Papy Djilobodji ?!?!

    3. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Can you stretch it to 4.4 somehow? I fancy two CS from Burnley in thier next two games and Ward is available for them at £4.4

  3. Odikostar
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Didn't look on target to me

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 2 months ago

        It wasn't.

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

          Given move on and get him in for next gw

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

        It wasn't. But he'll get it. Ownership innit

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

        If it wasn't, I really hope they change it

      • Deano
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        That river in Egypt again!

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

      Rojo and rondon yellow

    3. 8ball
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Kane to Ibra?

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

        Bit early - Kane hasn't played.

    4. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Who scores more next 4 Gameweeks?

      A) Costa (STK, tot, leic)
      B) Kane (sou, wat, CHE, WBA)

      Wondering which one to sell for Zlatan. Can play Capoue (CRY) if I keep Costa. If I sell, I'll get back in time for HUL.

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

        Always the impossible question Ryacoo,

        On current form I would keep Costa. Given the weight of averages Kane. When on equal form they will score the same, so it would have to be sell Costa with a game less.

        But you want Costa - so keep if its your gut.

                      No season history either. What a fraud. Sets up a new account to hide dismal history.

      Hmm not sure if I should do A or B here:

      A) Kane to Ibra
      B) Costa + Lovren to Friend + Ibra (-4)

      1. Hooky
        • 10 Years

        B

      Phil Jones flexing his face. Retro ban for Rondon.

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

        Can they do that? He was booked

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

          Not for the slap or did I misunderstand?

        2. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          The ref obviously didn't see the slap in Rojo's face.

        3. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          He was booked so he cant get banned

          1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Yes he can. The ref is going to write in his report that he didn't quite see what was going on, but that there was a tussle and that the standard reaction to calm both sides is a pair of yellow cards.

            Then the FA will charge Rondon for the slap.

    9. Arteta
      • 10 Years

      WBA, please score!

    10. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Rondon ban incoming

    11. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Costa + McAuley > Ibra + Jones?

    12. antwuan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      So Zlatan got his 5th yellow today. How come he isnt banned?

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

        6th. Not on Suspension Tightrope.

      2. ryacoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        He's already received his 5th YC and served his suspension - YCs in cup games also count.

      3. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Oh dear.

      4. Styles_X

        Get your facts straight man

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

          FPL site does not include that hence the question. Thanks!

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

            Why do u think he missed the arsenal game?!

      5. ol3andre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Because it is his total 6. card, and he served his ban for the 5. vs Arsenal.

        He got his 5. in cup.

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

        Did you watch United vs Arsenal?

      1. Jafooli

      Rondon goal would be funny lool

    15. Richd

      Any Sunderland fans?

      How nailed is Papy Djilobodji ?!

        Wow

      2. EmreCan Hustle

    17. AdamJ91
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Thinking of doing Costa > Ibra this week and then the following week do Kane > Costa. Would lose out on 0.2 TV though.

      Worth it or better just doing Kane to Ibra and leave Costa out for a week?

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

        I'm doing similar but may wait until the Hull game to bring Costa back in for Kane.

        Costa will fall in price a bit and Kane could rise if he returns tomorrow - so you might make that 0.2 back.

      2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Same here.

        Might pull the trigger and do it

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

        The second option only if you got a decent bench, by losing value, do you mean selling value?

        1. AdamJ91
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, sorry. Bought him for 10.6 and can sell 10.8.

    18. For Fuchs Sake

      Will Zlatan play all games coming up though?

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

        He will

      2. Unliklinho

        9 years, 2 months ago

        They need to win. They won't if doesn't.

    19. fedolefan

      I hate you West Bromcelona. Where's all that attacking threat disappeared?

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

        If you don't know how Pulis operates now you never will.

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

        Even if there was, De Gea would stop most of it

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

      Which one is better? Thanks

      A) Llorente Zaha Ibra
      B) Diomande Siggy Ibra

      1. dhamphiir
        • 10 Years

        B

      2. EmreCan Hustle

        A

    21. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ibra on 104 fpl statistics now.
      Wouldn't be surprised to see a .3 rise this week with Costa banned.

      1. FootballManiac
        • 13 Years

        Also pool has 2 home games..

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

      Get in Friend (4.4), Chambers (4.4) or Barragan (4.6)?

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Friend. Same chances of CS and he likes going forward.

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

        I would say Friend.

        Still a slight risk he won't play the next full game, but he is definitely nailed long term and occasionally gets into attacking positions.

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

        Friend with benefits

      4. Pochecinno

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

        I've had Chambers for weeks. He's a tw*t to own. Better to gain a Friend.

        1. Pochecinno
          • 10 Years

          Haha. Cheers Slouchy

    26. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Costa or Kane to Ibra? Yes/No? Which?

      Thanks as ever 🙂

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I'm doing Costa > Ibra.

        Will bring Costa back on his return. Keeping Kane as don't like the idea of 1 upfront next GW

    27. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I bought Costa for 10.5. Would you sell for Ibra?

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Got Haz? Then yes

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

        No.

    28. Richd
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      So looks like a -4 tonight. Costa and Mccauley for Zlatan and Ben Taylor.

      Leaves me with double Swans defence.

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

        Not a bad tactic they play West Ham next
