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.

    Sanchez to Hazard?

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

      Knee jerk hold a week Burnley are decent at home imo

    2. nimbin_headers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No way. But Diego simeone to arsenal next year. That could be the perfect match

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

    Get Caroll or Lukaku instead of Rondon, and why?

    Lukaku being who he is will probably blank in 3-4 matches now, before another brace... :p

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Surely if you can get Lukaku for Rondon, you have to make the trade?

  3. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Would you get Barkley or Antonio?

    1. nimbin_headers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Neither to be honest but if you have too Antonio.

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

      Barkley for me - unreal stats.

  4. Sonic Huth
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Sold Sanchez, Already miss him

    1. nimbin_headers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      One week to early. It will cost you I hope

      1. Sonic Huth
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Needed funds, Was necessary.
        Now front three is Ibra-Kane-Luka , So I can be alright

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Home to hull seems like a hold. Hull is playing much better, but it still seems like a desirable matchup for a team that needs a wake up call.

    9 years, 5 months ago

    Could Holebas break the record for most yellow cards in a season - current record is 14.

    14 Lee Cattermole 14/15
    14 Cheick Tiote 10/11
    14 Paul Ince 03/04
    14 Robbie Savage 01/02
    14 Mark Hughes 98/99
    14 Olivier Dacourt 98/99

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

      Easily 😀

    2. George James
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      What's he on?

  6. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Who is going to score the most points next week?

    Looking at getting Hazard and/or Lukaku in before the blank game weeks, but not sure.

    Current team is:

    Grant/Jaku
    McAuley Azpil Walker / M.Wilson Amat
    Zaha Philips Sanchez Alli / Davies
    Kane Jesus Zlatan

    Zlatan next week at home to Hull could be a tricky fixture considering Hull's recent form.

    Arsenal away to Liverpool could be tricky considering Liverpool's record against the top 4, but also their form is wank.

    Tough one.

    Thoughts and opinions are more than welcome.

    1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Oh, I have 2.0 in the bank. Thanks!

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

      Zlatan just played Hull.....he has Watford next

    3. AndyCook
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Are you making up your own fixtures?!

    4. 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He is home to Watford not Hull.
      You got money to upgrade Wilson or Amat?

    5. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      You guys really focus on any factual errors, don't you? 🙂

      ZLatan at home to Watford.
      Sanchez at home to Hull.

      Better? 😉

      I have money to upgrade, but don't really want to upgrade bench defenders for zero reason.

      Or would that sort my blank weeks out so I don't have to transfer?

      Either way.

      WHO IS A MUST FOR NEXT WEEK?

      That's my question.

      THanks.

      1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework

        SPECIAL ONE... Any feed back? Thanks.

  7. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hi....what is my best move here guys..

    A....capoue to snoddy (exact cash and ignore jesus till after blanks)

    B...ibra and capoue to jesus and siggy for a hit

    Heaton pickford
    Alonso Coleman brunt Pieters amat
    Sanchez alli Phillips stanislas capoue
    Lukaku ibra kane

    Thanks

    1. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Keep Ibra for next fixture

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

      Im doing something similar to A, De Roon > Snodgrass.

  8. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Chelsea's next six fixtures are brilliant. Is it wise to triple up on them?

    Alonso Haz Costa

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Only if Wolves knock them out somehow.

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

      Maybe have Hazard and no sanchez thru the blanks

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Alonso Luiz Costa imo

  9. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What are you doing with
    Dele
    Eriksen
    Sanchez
    Ibra
    ?
    Prices are falling down !

    1. Sonic Huth
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      sold Sanchez, kept Erik and Ibra

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

        Why Sanchez out ?

        1. Sonic Huth
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Blanks the main reason

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

      Ignoring the price drops. They are being caused by headless chickens.

  10. Hardly Athletic
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I've got 2 ft and 0.4m itb. What transfers should I make this week? Team currently is:

    Heaton - Grant
    Azpi - Coleman - Brunt - Jones - Ake
    Sanchez - Alli - Lallana - Phillips - de Roon
    Ibra - Lukaku - Llorente

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lallana to Siggy for sure.

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

      Lallana ---> Siggy

  11. 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What to do guys? Haven't given my FPL team enough attention recently.

    Hennessey Jakupovic
    Walker Coleman Brunt Friend Chambers
    Sanchez Alli Pedro Lallana Phillips
    Aguero Ibra Barnes

    0.1 ITB

    Cheers

  12. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Who do you prefer for next 5 ?

    A) Lukaku - mid SUN tot WBA HUL (-4)

    B) Ibra- WAT (*) BOU (*) mid

    (*)= Blank

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku.

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Do you currently have Ibra?

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        yes

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Then it's quite easy

          Keep Ibra for the Watford game (Don't fancy Lukaku vs Boro) and make the swap after that game

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

          Why not hold I ra for this week and then sell for free?!

    3. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Why is that the question?

      Ibra to Lukaku for free in GW26 I can understand. For a hit in GW25 it's pretty senseless.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Because i have exact cash to do Ibra Deroon --> Lukaku Siggy(-4)

        would give me the team below

        Heaton Jak
        Alonso Coleman Brunt (Pieters Amat)
        Sanchez Phillips Eriksen Alli Siggy
        Lukaku Kane Rondon.

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          So dump Eriksen. Or Kane. Triple Spurs attack is overkill.

  13. Akeem
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Which transfer would you do?

    A) Benteke ---->>> Lukaku
    or
    B) Redmond ---->>> Siggy

    1. bitm2007

    Please rate my WC team, I don't think I can hold out until the double games weeks.

    Heaton, Jak
    Cahill, Alonso, McAuley, Walker, Kingsley

    Siggy in for
    A) Coutinho
    B) Phillips
    C) Stanislas

  17. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone able to make an argument for which of these is better (need to get rid of one)

    A) alli or E)Eriksen

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

      Alli has more points

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Ali's conversion rate for his purple patch was always going to be unsustainable. Eriksen for regular assists and the odd goal holds the edge for me.

      •Disclaimer: I captained KDB this week so what the f**k do I know.

    3. Jersey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      keep Alli. he is a goalscoring midfielder, and playing basically as a second striker.

      why do you need to get rid of one? i'm keeping both for now.

  18. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What's Phil Jones chances to reclaim his spot if fit next GW?

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I do hope so

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      JM rates him very highly, good imho.

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, I think Jones and Bailly is his preferred pair. But he'll likely rotate once EL kicks in again.

    3. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Decent but by no means certain
      Valencia and Bailly nailed

    4. makaveli123
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Decent chance, but look at the schedule. Two EL ties, FA cup, EFL final and the league. Rotation headache?

  19. Danstoke82

    Please can I get opinion on this team?, anything need doing or gtg?

    Foster

    Baines , Jones , Cedric

    Sanchez, Barkley, Hazard, Alli

    Lukaku, Rondon, Ibra

    Pickford, Mcauley, Capoue, Amat

    Hate that I have 9 players playing away next week
    Think I'm best to save a transfer though
    Unless Cedric to a 5.3 ...any ideas

  21. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Lallana t Siggy (LEI,CHE,BUR) or Barkley (MID,SUN,TOT) for 1 FT?

    Can't see him out scoring them with TOT,LEI,ARS

    Also fits in with the GW28 plans.

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'd get rid of lallana due to form right now.

    2. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Siggy

    3. Jersey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      prefer Siggy, but Barkley is a good transfer as well.

  22. Garlana

    Play:
    A) Jaku (arsenal)
