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

    "Paul Pogba conceding a penalty by trying to dab while making a headed clearance. Too far." 😆

  3. Pique boo
    • 9 Years

    Pogba was trying to dab

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

    Costa to Lukaku or Pieters to Friend?

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Pieters to Chambers instead

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

        Why keep costa though if he won't play?

  5. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years

    Ibra to blast it near post.

  6. walkman666

    • 11 Years

    Pogba could've gotten a yellow or even a red for that.

  7. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Time to lose Aguero I guess. Ah well.

  8. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    World class save that.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

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

        FfS had to be him the fecker

  10. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Wow, that was a great save from Mignolet...

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

      Anyone not watching the game will take that sarcastically

  11. Guy Demel
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Pogba red incoming

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, that stranglehold takedown of Henderson was pretty severe.

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

    Why do I even own Valencia?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You had a rich Spanish grandfather?

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

        Sadly, no. All my own doing.

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I ask myself that all the time

  13. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Man that was intense

  14. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mignolet to get signed by Madrid

  15. George James
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Imagine Milner as a defender on FPL next season. Essential

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Liverpool will buy a LB i think

    2. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He'll be the first name in everyone's squad you'd imagine.

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Most expensive defender in FPL history?

      8m?

    4. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yup
      Ready to pay even 6.5-7 for Him

    5. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      It'd make boring James Milner more interesting 🙂

    6. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      6.5 too low for him. It's too easy a decision to put him in. You want people to be taking a risk to put him in the team. 7M should be the minimum imo, unless Pool sign a world class LB before the prices are set

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

      yeah could see some big prices for wing backs next year

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe a change in the classification system so as to encourage people to choose centre backs. Wing backs = mids? Attacking mids = forwards?

    8. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He'd be on 104 (joint with Alonso) + any extra bonus he might have gotten + this game

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

    Pep. Pogba. lol

  17. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    But how did the ref not see Pogba fling Henderson to the ground

  18. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Pogba's an angry man today. Must be really pissed off with that hairdresser.

  19. Feeling_blue
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Should I sell Costa to Lukaku or Costa and Firmino to Ibra and Pedro for a hit?

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Firmino has Swansea up next.

      Swansea

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe 2 but wait a bit

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        2 but wait

  20. Bubz

    Pogba is having a mare

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Pogba having a nightmare

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

      He's got lovely hair though

  22. Delhidynamo
    • 11 Years

    Pogba trying his hardest to get on worldstar

  23. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Fearing Pogba might be hooked for Mata

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      As an owner that is

  24. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Pogmare

  25. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Maybe Pogba should be subbed for Fellaini

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

      😆

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Lol

  26. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Pogba just refuses to keep it simple, shame. Also ibra is useless in a match like this, statuesque

    • The Enlightener

      Migs the maestro!

    • Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Mignolet masterclass

    • Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Owning Pogba just seems silly now. Fools gold as they say, good underlying stats but little FPL returns and a hefty price tag to boot...
