The first of two Sunday fixtures gets underway at 1.30pm this afternoon as Sunderland welcome Manchester United to the Stadium of Light.

The most popular captaincy choice for Gameweek 32, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been handed the armband by 15.7% of Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of a visit to the basement-dwellers.

Encouragingly for his owners, the veteran delivered his highest haul of the season against the Black Cats, with a goal and two assists helping him to 15 points back in Gameweek 18.

With eight fixtures remaining in the final six Gameweeks, including a double Gameweek 34, the likes of Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan can play their way into our plans for the run-in today.

Those holding the hosts’ Jermain Defoe will be buoyed by the absence of David de Gea, who misses out for the first time this term with โ€œa little problem, according to his manager.

Meanwhile, Antonio Valenciaโ€™s 17% owners are left frustrated yet again, as the Ecuadorian is omitted from the squad for the second match in succession.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        In Australia we play football in the summer for some reason. Some games have been in broad daylight, huge humidity and above 35 to 40 degrees Celsius. And we play on rugby pitches... Ha quality

      Best way to get Kane in? 2 FT, 0.2 itb. Would love to do it via Llorente If possible (even for a hit). If not, would you take out Vardy (cry) or Lukaku (BUR)?

      Heaton / Pickford
      Blunt / Baines / Alonso / Walker / Holebas
      Sanchez / Couinho / Siggy / Alli / King
      Vardy / Lukaku / Llorente

      1. Pigeon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Defo take out Vardy and Llorente for a hit

        You have James Blunt playing in defence? Beautiful ๐Ÿ˜‰

      Can Herrera stop bloody launching it into row Z?

    9. HD7
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      With those rotations in defence, I guess its time to play with 3 defenders. I loved 4-4-2...

    10. JÆKS โญ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Good plan?

      Gw 33: Aguero to Kane
      Gw 36: Lukaku, Siggy, Crouch to Ibra, Zaha, Negredo (-4)

      1. FPL Pillars

      ''The Swedish forward has now scored 250 goals in 308 appearances since he turned 30-years-old in 2011. This incredible achievement actually improves on his tally before he turned 30 - where he netted 232 goals in 528 appearances.''

      Valencia dodgy, but Maguire/Brunt backup.
      0FT. 1.2 ITB.

      Grant
      Davies Valencia Mawson
      Eriksen Firmino Coutinho Siggy
      Kun Kane((T(?))C) Origi

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I made the Kane transfer early since I figured he would rise again soon, and there's no point waiting for just a couple days-worth of news.

    14. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra needs another goal if he's to get maximum baps.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Mourinho must be one of them.

        2. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Are they around?

          1. La Roja
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Oh, the irony

      • Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        United keeping the top 4 challenge alive. Could do with some sort of result next weekend vs Chelsea though, which won't be easy. Valencia back for that one for sure.

        1. Qubit
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeh great. 2 weeks in a row for Valencia, may have to ditch

          1. Numb
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Those 2 weeks are gone, he's nailed on again now

        2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          A win or else it's over...

          We'll win EL at Zlatan home court though

        3. FPL Pillars
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Utd will lose to Chelsea and then zlat will get rested for gw34, that's a clear possibility.
