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.

      United-obsessed City fans always say that.

    Best replacement for kun? Costa or Kane? Have lukaku

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Costa

  12. Ha.
    • 10 Years

    Mahrez living up to his 400k price tag

  13. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Really not sure whether to do Kane to Lukaku this week or not

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

      Lukaku won't score 4 every week

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

        Agreed. Nailed on for hatty vs Boro

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Because the only reason to transfer someone in is if you're sure they'll score 4 goals(!)

          That said, bad move Kane could easily score vs pool waste of a transfer

      3. grig
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Lukaku is in my transfer list for GW 26, teams have had trouble scoring against Boro lately, so won't get him just yet despite his 4 goals and incoming price hike.

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

        ...why?

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

        Ya he had no interest in scoring. Wandering around midfield holding up the play

    7. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Origi > ?

      a) Carroll

    8. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

    9. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Antonio to siggy? Or save ft and have 2 for gw26

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

      So my Manchester switch comes out even then,
      Pogba and Ibra to KDB and Jesus.
      Meh.

      Mourinho has really not done much with this Utd team. They should have put 6 or 7 past Leicester. Instead they were walking around after 60 minutes.

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

        lots of games coming up. No need to win more than 3-0

    12. Jay_
        9 years, 2 months ago

        The way those last 5 minutes were played out is why it's important that you load up on teams with something to play for in dgw37. You could get whole games played like that come May.

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

          You mean the way the last 30 minutes were played.

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            9 years, 2 months ago

            This. Killed me off last season, was around 280 overall and dropped to 828 in the end cause I loaded up on double gameweek players that didnt neccesarily have much to play for- most players didn't play twice anyway and were outscored by single game weekers that had something to play for

          Are they going to wipe out valencia's 2 bonus like last time? Just for the fun of it

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

            Think he'll be down to one.

            • 11 Years

            I don't think that's how the system works.

        8. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I'll take this. Valencia owner and Ibra non-owner. Could have legit been 6-0 or 7-0 this.
