After a disappointing Tuesday evening, we’ve high hopes for the three remaining matches in Gameweek 23.

West Ham and Man City get us up and running at 7.45pm as the pair go head-to-head at the London Stadium.

The major news is that the fit-again Sergio Aguero is only named on the bench for City as Gabriel Jesus is afforded his first league start up top. Pep Guardiola also drops Claudio Bravo and hands Willy Caballero a chance between the posts.

With fixtures on their schedule in Gameweek 26 and 28, the in-form Hammers are of keen interest to Fantasy managers, with the likes of Andy Carroll and Michail Antonio offered the chance to stake a claim for our plans this evening. New signing Robert Snodgrass warms the bench, though Jose Fonte is fast-tracked into the first XI by Slaven Bilic.

Man United entertain Hull and Stoke welcome Everton to the bet365 in the pair of 8pm encounters.

With Alexis Sanchez managing just an assist against Watford and both Diego Costa and Harry Kane serving up blanks, the stage looks set for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to produce the goods at Old Trafford.

The United frontman was the top captaincy choice for Gameweek 23, with 22.9% handing him the armband at home to a Tigers outfit that have conceded more goals away from home than any other side.

Everton, meanwhile, have been subject to considerable investment on the back of five wins and a draw in the last seven rounds of fixtures.

Similar to West Ham, upcoming matches in Gameweek 26 and 28 boost the Toffees’ appeal, with many keeping an eye on Seamus Coleman, Leighton Baines, Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku as we plan ahead to deal with the inevitable cup postponements.

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

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        what was your intention?

        1. FPL Puppy
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Long story short; I'm drunk, watching the game with a friend (and main rival in FPL) and he has Jones as his differential. We always have a gameweekly bet on who ends up with the most points. All I needed to win was for Jones to either lose his CS or get a YC+ no bps.
          I got so excited that I didn't really realize what I really did was to write the same thing I said to my friend at his face.

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    If I hadn't waited to do my transfer two weeks ago I'd have got Baines but he went up and I couldn't afford him so had to get Coleman. Still going to get Baines as well though I think.
