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

        Still, the minus four was shipping out Aguero and Anichibe for Jesus and Lukaku, so pretty pleased with how that turned out!

      Ibra worth benching through both blanks???

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I'm selling after Watford, did not look great

      2. Jönny
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Nah I don't think so. Lots of other options, and he's not really justifying the expense, even without the blanks

    13. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays

      Most urgent issue ??

    14. Viper
      • 16 Years

      So those of us that were silly enough to not do Ibra - > Lukaku, should we be doing it this week?

      Lallana - > Siggy will be my other FT

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

        Should've done it a week earlier. Boro looked defensively solid yesterday against Spurs.

        I've done it

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Nope, got rid of Kane instead

    15. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Can someone clarify the Jesus blanks. Can see one.

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

        GW28 should be 2.

      2. Viper
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Blank in gwk 26 and if they win their FA cup 5th round game, they blank in 28 too

      3. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Likely will be GW28 as well.

      4. Speédy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Should be one in 28 too

      5. Clump
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        26 & (probably) 28.

        1. Old Bull
          • 12 Years

          Thanks very much all

      Shot too early with the post button

      When do I play my wildcard gents?

      I've read the double GWs are 31 and 37 but I've never played FPL before so I'm not entirely sure what a doubler is and why I need my WC?

      Any help would be great!

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

        It's 34 and 37.
        Doubler equal player with 2 games in a GW.

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

        GW37 will be the big one, so GW36 probably, then BB in 37

    17. TheTinman

      My three strikers scored a total of six goals for a grand total of 3 bonus combined.

    19. Bezzer
      • 10 Years

      Broken the 100 mark. 101 and over 200k OR boost

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

        Nice one!

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

      a) Carroll

      b) Llorente

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        A but B might be a nice differential

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        a) all the way

    21. Crow
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      80 points, very nice indeed.

    22. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I don't think Leicester will be defending their title this season

      38 points behind with 14 games left

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

        HAHAHAHA awesome.

        Good one.

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

        Still possible.

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

          More chance of me winning FPL

        2. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Bar somebody two footing the knees of the whole starting 11 of all teams above Leicester it could never happen but hey, who thought they'd win it the first time?

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

      People with Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen and no money to upgrade 4th mid to Siggy. What are you doing? Downgrading Ibra or doing Eriksen > Siggy?

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

        Eriksen or Alli to Siggy but I may wait till after the Chelsea game

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

          considering waiting a couple of weeks myself

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

        Lose one of the spurs. Myself probably lose Alli merely because had Eriksen when he was 8.1 while Alli was late(8.7).

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

          Same here, so will considering the same move myself

      3. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Think I'm ignoring Siggy for now.

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

          I will get him at some point but will possibly wait until after the Chelsea game

      4. Rover
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Just did Alli > Siggy a couple of minutes ago. Initially thought of waiting till GW26 for that move, but watching Leicester and Swansea today made me want him for next week.

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

          definitely a captain option next week

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

            Deciding between Siggy and Ibra...

    24. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Valdes
      Alonso Brunt Pieters
      Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Alli
      Ibra Lukaku Crouch

      Subs: Jaku Phillips Holebas Amat

      2 FT 0.0 itb, narrowed it down to:

      A) Eriksen to Siggy
      B) Holebas to F.Mori and play him ahead of Crouch

    25. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Think Ima pull the trigger on Ibra and Iwobi out for Costa and Siggy

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Could workout, but could also backfire, would prefer those move next week

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

        Looks good. I reckon Wenger will start Welbz with Sanchez and Theo either side vs Hull anyway

    26. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Wooo hooooo!!!!!!

    27. smix
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Carrol or Siggy to get in next week ?

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

        Andy Carrol i.e

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

        Siggy imo

    28. Oh Mane Mane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Anyone considering Siggy captain next week at home to Leicester?

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

        will be considering him if I bring him in

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

        Oh yeah, haven't bought him yet but will do before he goes up tonight.

      3. Mr Wizard
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I'm taking him in for Lallana and putting the armband on him. Leicester are terrible right now.

      4. Viper
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yep. I am

      5. Spg76
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yes but with Sanchez, Lukaku and Costa in my team I won't do it. Sanchez probably because home to Hull

      6. Pipermaru
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        o/

    29. Tronity
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      2FTs and am stuck what to do!

      A) Sanchez and Benteke > Barkley and Lukaku (benching Ibra in 26/28)
      B) Ibra and Amat > Lukaku and Baines (benching Sanchez in 26/28)

    30. Demí
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      So will Leicester players be worth owning in the final weeks as they "have something to play for". They looked god-awful today

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

        Fuchs will be essential again - written in the stars

      2. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I dont think they even care if they get relegated

      3. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        They look completely lost and clueless.

        So devoid of any confidence

      Hello guys. What would you do with this lot?

      Foster
      Brunt, Baines, Alonso
      Phillips, Antonio, Lallana, Sanchez
      Lukaku, Ibrahimovic, Kane

      subs: Heaton --- Jones, Holgate, Clayton --- 2 FT, 1.6 ITB

      Lallana -> Siggy and save other FT?

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

        good move that

    32. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lads please pick Two players to transfer in. I've got the cash getting rid Aguero.

      A) Sanchez
      B) Hazard
      C) Costa
      D) Siggy
      E) Mkhitaryan
      F) Walcott
      G) Iwobi

      Thanks

        Haz/costs and siggy

    33. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      7 goals from 3 strikers,time to go 3-4--3 again

    34. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      After watching the game, I'm thinking Ibra -> Jesus might be an interesting move for next GW.

      The way United set up for attacking, Ibra was not their main man.
      He had just one shot in this game.

      Mata & Mkhi were more likely to score.

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Do you have Costa? I would get Jesus, if he only had 1 blank. But likely 2, i just can't justify it

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I have Ibra - Costa - Lukaku now.

    35. wowBOBwow
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Possible LEI/SUN dgw for Sanchez in gw34

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

        Sunderland are the worst team to face in gw 30-38. More likely that Kone will score a brace than Sanchez 😉

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

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