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.

      This has been the story of the last 5 weeks. Hitting the bar, hitting the post or being caught offside. FPL Gods are laughing away.....

  10. sminkypinky

    Imo Pogba sits way too deep in Utd attacks. Too much Gap between cms and front three.

  11. Sweetboi

    Goal disallowed. 1-0 West Brom still.

      Not that it matters, but any idea who would have had the assist?

  13. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Have West Ham scored or not?

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      No. Was disallowed.

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

      Yes but then it was disallowed

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years

      DISALLOWED GOAL

      West Ham 0-1 West Brom

      A lot of discussion going on here. West Ham have the ball in the net, it's quickly ruled out by the officials but the West Ham players surround ref Michael Oliver and the linesman.

      He goes over to consult with his colleague, and...no goal.

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

        Cheers Syd ....

    Zlatan dropping too deep

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

      He does it every single game. Wouldnt worry about it

  16. JIM BOB

    Disgraceful decision

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

      Agreed

  17. Dedalus1
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Almost Pogba!

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

    Utd probably need to win a penalty

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

    NO WHU goal

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Farce

  20. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years

    What a great touch by Jose Rondon (West Brom)! He picks up a precise pass inside the box and immediately produces a shot towards the net. Unfortunately for him, his bullet only crashes against the crossbar.

  21. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Hoolihan still knocking them in

  22. Dedalus1
    • 10 Years
