After Gabriel Jesus downed Swansea with a double at the Etihad, we make our way to the King Power as Leicester City entertain Manchester United in the final fixture of Gameweek 24.

Despite back-to-back blanks, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was once again the most captained player for this round of matches – he was handed the armband by 20.5% of Fantasy Premier League managers.

The likes of Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan could emerge as differentials against a defence that’s conceded at least twice in five of their last six home matches.

With a blank Gameweek 26 and potential blank in Gameweek 28, though, Jose Mourinho’s men are far from our short-term plans right now.

Leicester’s unconvincing form at both ends of the pitch bodes well for the Red Devils – with a single goal scored in the last six Gameweeks, those holding the likes of David de Gea and Antonio Valencia will be optimistic of a clean sheet.

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

    Opting for Benteke over Carroll and Jesus was criminal.

      • 12 Years

      At least you're not in denial.

    TM are u starting all 3 spurs attackers against liverpool ?

    Im not so sure as the trio has only 1 goal combined against sun MID

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If you don't start, you sell.

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

        so you are playing all 3?

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

          Better than playing Fletcher.

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

      Those defences are good now since the January improvements.

  6. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    How are these fools champions? They'd seriously struggle in the championship.

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Missing confidence and belief..and Kante

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        What did they sell Kante for?

        How much would relegation cost them?

        It's probably THAT simple 🙂

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

      Completely different team to last season. Where the best team in the league by right last season

  7. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Heaton (Pickford)
    Coleman Brunt Holebas (Daniels Friend)
    Sanchez Eriksen Phillips Fletcher (Stanislas)
    Kane Ibra Lukaku
    £3m ITB 1FT

    (a) Holebas/Daniels to Alonso
    (b) Stan to Siggy

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

      Fletcher to Siggy?

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Fletcher to Siggy better than Stan to Siggy

    3. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      thanks for answers chaps, mis printed MITB tho, meant £2.3m! cheers 🙂

  8. Pep says
    • 10 Years

    Did anyone have Mhiki for 5 weeks and sell him I wonder? That must suck!

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

      This is just as bad...

    2. fancy111
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Kept him until this week. Sold him to fund Lukaku. Good farewell present

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

    Another ibra goal needed for 3 baps

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Because its the 3baps we need rather than the 4pts for scoring...

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

        I'll have all your BAPs if you don't want them?

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

    Leicester are woeful and Siggy could have a field day.

    Alli > Siggy?

    Yay or nay?

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

      Contemplating the same. Can see Alli getting a goal against Pool, though.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy is a must, he really is, anyone else to sell?

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      yay to siggy
      nay to selling alli

    4. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Anyone other than Alli maybe? Could do great against Liverpool.

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

        My other mids are Sanchez, Antonio and Phillips.

        Maybe bin Antonio?

  11. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    If Man Utd where regular Champions-league quarter finalists then Leicester would have had no trouble been up for this game

  12. hannesdela
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Alexis or Eriksen out for Siggurdson?

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      the one that doesn't play hull next

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

        Yeah I know, that's what it makes it so hard. But he's also the one that will have two blanks in 4 GWs and the one whose price will fall massively.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hate to even think this, but Alexis might be the one...

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Has 2 blanks probably...so maybe (sacrilege)

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I know, and HUL are defending like warriors atm lol

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

            Yeah, so tough to part ways with the top scoring FPL asset ahead of an easy home game on paper. But Hull have been very resilient so it could be very difficult for him.

            Argggh I hate those blanks. It makes me keep hold of non-performers like Philips and Antonio and now brings me on the edge to ditch the best player of the season. Is this justifiable?

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

        Didn't he blank for the first time in 5 games? Against a mean defence?

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

      Personally think it's madness to bin Sanchez even though he blanks soon.

      He's playing as central striker and one of the best in the league. I'd bin Eriksen. Think he's had his purple patch for now. Extremely streaky.

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

        Yeah it doesn't feel right. But 2 blanks in 4 GWs and liv after HUL hmmm.

        But you're probably right about Eriksen and I'd want Sanchez back in after GW 28 anyway.

        What do you think about Eriksen-Siggy and De Roon-Barkley so that I can safely bench Sanchez in GW 26 while still having 4 good mids?

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

          Yeh think that looks good!

  13. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    PVA/Lallana/Alli --> Cahill/Siggy/Antonio for -4pts. Yay or Nay?

  14. The Wise Owl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    TM, what's the current safety score?

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

      No idea, 38 yesterday so in the 40s

      1. The Wise Owl
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        42 for me so far...

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

          Not looking good.

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

          42 here too, think we're toast

  15. Blue&White85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sell Coutinho or Firmino? Bringing in Sigurdsson but not sure which to sell.

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Coutinho, he is still struggling to regain his form

      1. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers.

    Mata lol

  17. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Mata is useless.

  18. Sonic Huth
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez-Siggy + Crouch-Luka sound sane? Pull the trigger? Keeping Ibra

  19. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Zlatan would've scored that

  20. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

  22. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Serious lack of quality in the Leicester attack.

  23. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
    • 14 Years

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

      Yeah of course

      1. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Does that mean arsenal would not play champs league next year ?

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      They will be knighted with Beckham is that happens

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Are the odds on that shorter or longer than 5000-1?

    5. GreatCarragherReef
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      we (birmingham) won the league cup in 2011 and played europa despite being in the championship...

  24. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Come on Ibra - don't you want that golden boot!

  25. Bushman
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero & Fletcher to Costa & Siggy

    Bench Sanchez & Ibra for the blank

    Gives me a full team for the blank

    All agreed?

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

      Yep - nice one.

  26. nobwak

      • 15 Years

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

        I wanted to troll him over his assertion that Lukaku isn't a quality player 🙁

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
