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

    What would the senario be if one of arsenal city or utd reached the semis of the fa cup. Where would there dgw be as there's only two slots gw 34 and 37 but they would have 3 games in hand to catch up on

    1. TorresMagic™

      Outside chance of GW39 😛

    2. Pasqualinho
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      They would have to shoehorn another game in. As to when, all bets are currently off.

      1. Reggie Nainggolan
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Most likely asking permission from uefa to play on a CL/europa night barring again arsenal city or utd don't go through

    3. Champione

      Interesting, very likely to happen as well

        I would love him.
        I may downgrade Sanchez next week to Hazard to afford Stan or Phillips > Siggy

  6. juanmata8
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Whom should i play

    Heaton/Jaku
    Brunt Baines Alonso Walker
    Sanchez Coutinho Alli Phillips/Mirallas
    Ibra Costa

    Heaton or Jaku
    Phillips or Mirallas

  7. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What are Benteke Owners doin?
    Selling or Keepin?

    1. mr messi
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure yet. Might get Carroll.

  8. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Brunt has 3 goals, 3 assists, 3 cleansheets & 10 baps in his last 7 home games. That is some insane scoring for a 5.0 defender. His away form ain't great but he's a beast at home.

    1. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I bench him away,play him at home,works very nicely

  9. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Better option for the coming weeks?

    A) Walker (liv, STK, EVE, cry/blank, SOU)

    B) Baines (mid, SUN, tot, WBA, HUL)

    Have Coleman. But only 6 GW28 assured starters.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Walker is better I feel
      Although I have Both baines and Coleman and no Walker 😛

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        That possible blank and Everton playing Brom at home is the main dillema for me.

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Walker could still outscore him though:
          😮
          Get Baines maybe then if you like 🙂

  10. Prøfeßör …
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Repost

    Any ideas on this lot please?

    Heaton Pickford
    Alonso Brunt Funes Mori Evans Amat
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen Phillips De Roon
    Ibra Kane Lukaku

    2 FT, 0.3 in the bank

    Thinking either Pickford to Jaku or Eriksen to Siggy.

    Cheers!

    1. The 12th Man

      Jak

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe both transfers, upgrade Amat/Evans next week

  11. Mr_Majestyk
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Lallana to

    A. Siggy
    B. Hazard

    1. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Out of those siggy for me I think

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Planning on bringing both of those in soon. Siggy

    3. Melvin Udall
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A. Did it myself.

  12. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Just did Holgate, Firmino, GRU > Coleman, Siggy, Costa for a (-4)... Promised myself no more hits but giving Giroud the Hull game would have cost about 0.2-0.4 in T.V. & i just couldn't help it 🙁

    Think they will be good long term moves though

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Good moves. Giroud not even a cert to start

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah that's what i was thinking, cheers

  13. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Cech
    Chambers Luiz Baines
    Sanchez Mane Alli Phillips
    Benteke Gray Ibrahimovic

    Jaku McAuley Rose De Roon

    1.1m ITB & 1 FT

    What to do?
    Thinking maybe Gray > Llorente. Anything better?

  14. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    For the next 3 weeks:
    Benteke or Carrol or Defoe?

  15. SALVA
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    A) Mirallas to Snoddy for free

    B) Mirallas, Holebas -> Siggy, Fernandez for -4

    1. Prøfeßör …
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      B

  16. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    To anyone buying Jesus:

    you guys know what blanks are right

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Keep buying him people 🙂

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      If I get him in I'll bench him for the blank as I can field 11

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      It's madness... Let's tie up 9.0m in someone who plays only twice in next 4 GWs... In some cases for a 4 point hit! Will be good for everyone else's rank though by GW29

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Who else would you rather have?

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Lukaku, Costa, Kane

          1. Ha.
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            But Costa and Kane blank?

          2. Kun Tozser
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Only Lukaku not blanking for both there don't you think?

          3. Kun Tozser
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            And they are all more expensive!

      2. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        This...

        Also, we don't 100% know if he is being rotated with Kun yet really

    4. Pasqualinho
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I think they know. But are reckoning that he can do more in 2 weeks than Rondon can in 38.

    5. Kun Tozser
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Only GW28 though, easy enough to field 11 GW26

    6. AndyCook
      9 years, 5 months ago

      For me it's not those blanks as you can easily bench him, getting him is that after 27 it becomes champions league again, then he has Chelsea and Arsenal even if he plays.. probably very limited shelf life.

      1. AndyCook
        9 years, 5 months ago

        What I am saying is he is a rotation risk still

  17. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Member when Siggy was at Swansea? He was about 5.0 & scored goals & assists for fun.

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Quality player

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

      Spurs?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        He was wasted at Spurs, his first stint at swansea he was very cheap

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          But, but...he still is at Swansea?

  18. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Right, already done Lallana to Siggy, now got another FT, do I .....

    a) Roll it over

    b) Evans to Nyom

    c) Ali to Antonio

    d) Kane to Lukaku

    e) Kane Costa

    f) Evans to Robertson

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A, easy

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Ok, but that means starting one of Stanislas or Barnes next game, still ok?

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Surely only B and F prevent this?

  24. Bob_the_builder
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Siggy for Alli or Antonio ?Already have Eriksen and Alli move gives me enough funds to upgrade Anichebe to Caroll.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago
