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.

    Hererra bossing this game, i cant lie

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

      Must be a garbage affair.

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Very open game. More goals im sure of it

    2. Rainer

      One of the best dictators in the league, very under-rated. Still a tramp though 🙂

    Anything from Benteke? Really regretting getting him last week. Palace all over the place and his price has snookered my options. Bad planning.

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

      Nearly got him over Lukaku last week
      Got lucky

  3. okiwatevs

    Herrera is great today

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

    Martial is absolutely hopeless!

  5. The Head-Ake
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Gabbiadini seems to be worth getting in, only if he had better fixtures tho -_-

  6. ekul the lokonga enthusiast

    Ibrahimovic doing the best dimitar berbatov impression ive ever seen

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    OMG Gabbiadini.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Again? Ffs, why can't it be Deofe

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Because Defoe doesn't play for Southampton.

  8. how now brown cow

  9. Rainer

    Gabba-ssential

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      His next few fixtures are a concern.

  10. Syd.

    Bye Bye Moyes

  11. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years

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

    Ibra lucky not to get booked for dissent apparently.

  13. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Ibra is so useless. Why did I captain him?

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

      Cause you don't own Alexis 😛

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

      The paddypower article made me captain him. Ah well

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      But he does that and then scores usually. I went with him too - at least you know he'll play the 90.

  19. Venom Snake

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

  22. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Ibra gone after today regardless.

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

      Agree
      Was going to sell Sanchez, but Ibra to Costa sits better

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

    Selfish Martial

  24. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Useless Ibra on 0 baps.

  25. Guvnor
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    So salty right now. Captained Ibra instead of Sanchez

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

  26. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

  27. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Martial plays too much as an individual

  28. KOLASINA(C)
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Can't wait to see all those Gabbiadini transfers coming in for the next GW.

  29. Lawrø

    I taunted my brother after he told me he'd done Berahino --> Gabbiadini this week... 😯
