After Sanchez’ delivers a double-figure haul, the day rolls on with five-afternoon kick-offs, with attention switching to Old Trafford as Manchester United host Watford.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic heads into today’s contest once again backed by the majority of Fantasy Premier League managers for the eighth consecutive Gameweek. Over 957,000 (22.1%) opt for the Swede as their skipper for a clash with a Hornets defence that has kept just a single clean sheet since Gameweek 10.

Elsewhere, Everton’s trip to Middlesbrough will be keenly monitored by Romelu Lukaku’s owners. Brought in by more than 186,000 FPL managers ahead of the Teesside trip, they’ll be looking for instant returns from a striker that produced 21-points in Gameweek 24. Lukaku is backed by over 305,000 (7%) managers with the armband.

Sunderland’s Jermain Defoe is the other key asset on show. Brought in by 89,000 ahead of today’s outing, more than 87,000 (2%) have turned to the Black Cats’ veteran for their captain ahead of his meeting with Southampton at the Stadium of Light.

Meanwhile West Ham United, without Andy Carroll, face West Brom at the London Stadium, while Crystal Palace will be seeking a quick recovery following their 4-0 hammering by Sunderland as they make the trip to Stoke City.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    4. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Everton will concede 100% because I captained Coleman.

  7. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Phillips arguably my worst buy of the season

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

      Consider yourself lucky you didn't hop on the Fuchs wagon a while ago

      How do I convince the barman here of that do?

  10. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I've watched far too much Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom so hearing Gaston (Ramierez) always makes me laugh now.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Needs to be replaced by Chadli.

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

        Could be.

      2. Lord_Bendtner
        • 10 Years

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Holebas would have scored that

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

      That would be 1 of best goals in footbal
      Scoring from his own half without even touching the ball

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

    Janmaat is shat.

  17. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Phillips and Zaha are useless.
    At least I benched Phillips

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

      I sold Zaha for Siggy (-4) , No matter what Siggy does tomorrow i will be happy

  18. Lav

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

      Yes

    2. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ha I just made that exact move on draft.

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

    Ibra nearly

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

      Not nearly enough 🙁

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not really

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

    So my brunt & heaton vs rivals chambers vs grant (both havev chelsea & everton defender) is not going well

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

    Benteke goal is worth around 10pts for me in ML. Unless ShawX does the right thing and gets sent off

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Would love a Benteke goal. God knows how he ended up in my team last week but can't wait to get rid.

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

        Asking my self the same question, but in hindsight everything is easy. Fact is, cheap third strikers suck and Benteke looked like the best of the lot before last GW.

  22. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Lol at spineless Phillips owners saying he needs to go. BOU, CRY up next who have conceded 10 goals combined over the last GW. Then you can ditch him.

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

      We are also pointsless over the last several weeks.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Chadli is the better option in their midfield now, which I've been saying for several weeks now, if you'd been paying attention.

      Phillips hauls came when Chadli was out injured.
