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 “a little problem, according to his manager.

Meanwhile, Antonio Valencia’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

    If I have Alli + Erikson should I get:
    A) Ibra
    B) Kane

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Both ideally. Think I'll lose Lukaku to get Kane in

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A

    3. thericeking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      id say ibra.. kane is explosive but maybe allisen can cover but there's no utd mid to cover ibra

    4. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kane

  2. Atimis

    WC thoughts ?

    Jaku/Pickford
    Mustafi/Gibson/Davies/Yoshi/Holgate
    Sanchez/Hazard/Dele/Zaha/DeRoon
    Ibra/Kane/Kaku

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Like it! You have the 6 best attackers in there! Loads of goals

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Just this def can be tricky but roates well, may also downgrade Gibson later and bring Chelsea def

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Mustafi -> Bailly and Pickford -> Valdes and you're good

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Bailly nailed ? Lokks good for DGW, thanks 😉

    3. BALOOO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Great team. Whats the TV?

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Now, for my team before WC shows:
        Squad value
        £106.7
        In the bank
        £1.4

    4. Business Cat

      Get a City player in there...nice run-in and a DGW...Sane maybe the best option.

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yah have to consider this

    5. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      My WC team looks very similar to yours, though I prefer Aguero to Ibra (for the moment at least) and because of this have a cheapy over Mustafi.

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        May bring Kun for Ibra later 😉

  3. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Anichebe should have had a pen and maybe Baily should have been sent off just before the rc

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Spotted that 2 but the ref would have had to have been very sharp. Only became clear to me on replays.

      Was instinct I guess.

      Nice result for you again this week in fpl. Unbelievable. Well done!

  4. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So Valencia rested again or what?

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yup. I get that. Just tuned in and asking if there's another reason or not

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      i.e. dropped or injured/ill?

  5. BALOOO
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Can all those lucky people stop posting about who/how many points they will get for Valencia auto sub, its getting old :/

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      all part of the game though id like to see half points of bench.

      1. MR SUNSHINE
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Then why have a squad of 15 players? It's fine the way it is

    2. vectorman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I got Stephens and Yoshida on my bench, not coming on.. Stupidly played Stones ahead of one of them

    3. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I get -1 off the bench. So so lucky

    Phil Neville: "It's an orange card from me"

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      An Orange has more brains than Phil Neville

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      wonder what an orange card would be....

      10 minutes in the sin bin?

  7. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    am I the only one who thinks the dgws are kinda overatted, no way am I ditching my good single gw player for a dgwker

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      More fun to join in though. Best bit of FPL, really.

    2. Big_Bear
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I agree with this. I think for GW34 get Ibra in to captain him but there's no more needed.

    3. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      The only essentials is Ibra + Boro GK/DF

  8. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    'I don't think it is a red card. I think it is an orange card'

    What on earth is an orange card you plonker?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not harsh enough for a red, but too much for a yellow.

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Would be a 10 minute sin binning if they brought that rule in

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I like this idea. Also like the idea of the Video Ref. Game is going too fast for officials these days (possible it has always been too fast) - they need help.

    3. HazardAGuess
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      It was fun to take the piss out of, but we all know what he means.

  9. The Head-Ake
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I have 1.9 ITB and frontilne of Costa - Kaku - Origi
    Should I do Costa to Kane and then Kaku to Ibra on GW34?

  10. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Not so long ago the question on everyone's lips was "Valencia or Walker?"

    1. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Life comes at you fast.

      1. Numb

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Was difficult to foresee this

  11. c10™️ ⚽
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Grant Jaku
    Mawson Maguire Valencia Pieters Brunt
    Sanchez Siggy Pedro King Eriksen

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Keeps Manchester's hair stylists in business

  29. faver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What's your opinion on Shaw in both games? I can see a spark in him. Maybe this Mou talk was only to ignite the boy.

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't get carried away

      They are playing against the worse team in the PL and the Championship

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago
