After Everton’s 4-0 hammering of Man City at Goodison, we head over to Old Trafford for the final match of Gameweek 21.

As expected, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has recovered from illness to take his place in the Man United starting XI against Liverpool.

The most captained player for this round of fixtures, United’s frontman has been handed the armband by over 18% of Fantasy Premier League managers on the back of nine goals and four assists in his last nine league outings.

With the schedule smiling kindly on Jose Mourinho’s men from next week onwards, Paul Pogba – with two goals and a pair of assists in five – has the chance to stake a claim for a place in our five-man midfields.

Jurgen Klopp, meanwhile, opts against starting Philippe Coutinho for the first time since Gameweek 13 and names the fit-again playmaker on the bench instead.

Recovered from an ankle injury, the Brazilian is second only to Dele Alli for transfers in for midfielders since yesterday’s deadline passed, rising in price to 8.3 overnight.

With a plum home clash against Swansea up next, we’re keeping a keen eye on the Reds’ main men, with Adam Lallana and Roberto Firmino handed the wide roles on either side of Divock Origi as Daniel Sturridge warms the bench along with Coutinho.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Do people still celebrate Ibra goals?

      Why wouldnt we?

        On the basis it has close to zero effect on your rank. Similar to Drogba a few years back.

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Zero effect on rank? 50% of the top10k don't even own him

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

          It helps versus the 60% non ownerd

      I support United and he's my captain. I might have a little fist pump.

  2. Danstoke82

    Ibra season keeper.

  3. TheTinman
    • 10 Years

    Valencia and Ibra baps too much to ask for?

    1. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      on 2 and 1 currently

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

      Chance for both

    3. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ibra defo. Always does.

  4. Aston-villain
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Ibra or lukaku for aguero?

    1. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ibra. I joined the party and haven't looked back. Season keeper

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Both

      Pretty close tbh. I'd probs favour Ibra but go Lukaks if I felt I could utilise the funds better elsewhere.

      1. Aston-villain
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Cant have both...pretty happy with defoe and kane

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kane
      Ibra
      Lukaku

      In that order imo

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Spurs playing the best attacking football at the moment

      2. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Costa owners... stick or twist?

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Wait for pressers. If he's playing, stick

          1. Limbo
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Aye... can I hold my nerve...

  5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years

    Ibra's a bit good isn't he

  6. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Wow, Ibra goal and Valencia assist. That was unexpected.

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

    Its currently the much heralded 1-1 scoreline with no name scorers, Milner and some guy called Abra is it?

  8. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    More like it

    Tough for pool with fellaini and Ibra in there

  9. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Gru Ibra and Luka worked out OK, shame about missing out on Kane but can't have them all

      1. Boydinho
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

  15. NATSTER
    • 15 Years

    Herrara should be punished more than Firmino.

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nasty little player

  16. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Remember when Firmino used to be a good fantasy option

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

      10 blanks in 11 games. Ugh

    1. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
      • 10 Years

  20. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

  25. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I think I am going to give Aguero another game or two and then make a decision after West Ham. Am I insane?

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

      Hard to tell... Maybe Pep will finally wake up & smell the coffee & start playing Kun up front now. Who knows...

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe, but also considering.

    3. Tornado
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Transfer out costa or wait for news?

      Thinking to being in lukaku

    4. fedolefan
      • 11 Years

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago
