In the first of two Easter Sunday fixtures, we drop by the Hawthorns at 1.30pm as West Bromwich Albion entertain Liverpool.

Unsurprisingly, Jurgen Klopp recalls both Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino after both emerged from the bench to grab a goal apiece in the 2-1 win at Stoke last weekend.

Coutinho’s strike – his third in as many matches – made him the sixth most transferred in player for Gameweek 33, with over 89,000 new owners.

In light of the Brazilian’s recent output, it’s no surprise to learn that the he is the most captained player for today’s early kick-off, with 77,887 FPL managers handing him the armband.

As the only team without a Gameweek 34 fixture, sales of the Baggies main men are likely to escalate over the next few days.

Indeed, both Ben Foster and Gareth McAuley are the top-ranked keeper and defender for transfers out since yesterday, with over 8,000 FPL managers already ditching the latter.

After being withdrawn before the hour-mark in each of the last two league fixtures, the McAuley exodus was well underway last week, with over 44,000 FPL managers drafting out the centre-half ahead of yesterday’s deadline.

    Already own Ibra, but am feeling Benteke is the better DGW option.

    Think I may risk the transfer.

  3. diesel001

    Sturridge on
    Origi off

  4. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sturridge to seal it with an 86th minute winner

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That went well.

  5. DR0GBA

    Origi wasn't the best transfer in a few weeks ago... Origi out for Benteke next GW?

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

      Yep

  6. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Origi is gone from my team forever

  7. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I hope Ibra at least gets a few minutes against tired legs

  8. WVA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra will definitely come on at some point which is a shame as i have Tekkers first sub!

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

    Does it mean those who sold Ibra this GW for -4 that it really only cost -2? 😛

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Huh?

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

    Ibra will come on won't he? ugh

    1. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Of course he will.

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

      Yeah, don't worry

  11. Deyanski
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    No Ibra and Miki, Fellaini starting.. Chelsea are gonna win 🙁

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not if Utd park the double decker bus well enough

      1. Deyanski
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I guess, but still.. I simply cannot rate the tall Belgian.

    2. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Was pretty much a given anyway, IMO (Utd fan).

      1. Deyanski
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I was hoping for a good fight. Well we will see. Glory Glory.. 🙂

  12. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Was planning Ibra (TC) for the DGW.......now no idea 😆

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Negredo 😉

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

        Dare you

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

      WC35 - Sanchez TC in 36.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Too much thinking to get WC right for 35, 36, 37......I'd balls that right up 😆

    3. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      they might be out of Europe by Thursday and then he has to play for top 4

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ah very good point....come on Anderlect...

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

          If they can't do their bit to try and halt Chelsea then they deserve to go out of the cup anyway

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Another good point.........

  13. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    who have we got coming on for Ibra (if he doesn't come on)?

    I have King (2 points :/ )

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      King also, typical that he stayed on my bench last week. I think Ibra will get a game though

    2. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford

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

      The awesome bench-point machine that is Yoshida...this week scoring 1 🙁

    4. Deyanski
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The mighty Brunt 🙂

  14. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hmmmm. Benteke now a better DGW option than Ibra?

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

      Negredo now the captain of choice.

    2. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      After watching Palace yesterday, I was worried about not having him for the DGW already, but didn't think I could sell Ibra / Kane / Negredo for him.

      Considering Ibra -> Benteke now, mental as it may sound.

  15. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    That United line up is trash. We've fallen so badly.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Darmain Lingard Rojo Fellaini Young all need to get out.

    2. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      As a neutral i was looking forward to this game, looks like utd have conceeded to defeat before the game has even started.

  16. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    It'll be brilliant when united beat he league leaders now with that team!

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

      Fergie not in charge anymore 🙁

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No chance

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I know 😥

  17. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra is a clown

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No, Mourinho is

  18. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra likely to be rested for a game in DGW?

  19. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sturridge deserves more than this FFS. Origi has looked out of sync with the team whole game.

  20. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    zlatan's brace against tired legs incoming

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Own goal vs Tired united defence :P?

    2. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea don't get tired legs. But I like the idea!

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You mean those tired Chelsea legs...I'm not sure Chelsea really do tired tbh...

    4. ChampChomp
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It'll be the United defence that are tired

  21. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    McAuley on for 2 baps if you only consider WBA players 😎

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

      Don't give Mark ideas.

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

    Good news for Ibra DGW anyway

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bad news

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      how so? he now becomes a rotation risk

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

        Having a rest?

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Indeed it is, hopefully many avoid now 🙂

    4. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Or is it?

  23. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane captain next week locked in

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

      Sakho will have him in his pocket.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku

  24. ChampChomp
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Just realised Sakho can't play against Liverpool and got him in this week to allow me to get Kane. Total waste of a transfer. Totally sick of Mourinho as well, fairly large red coming my way unless Sanchez pulls something out of the bag tomorrow

  25. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    As I've said before, if that line up was coming from Moyes or LVG people would be calling for their heads.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm so annoyed. Disgusting line up

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

      Planes would be flying banners, for sure.

    3. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mourning has become a joke since that last league win with Chelsea

    4. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That is very true, Mourinho can be so stubborn sometimes...well all the time.

  26. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ha....My Ibra > Kane (c) looking better with every passing day.

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Good call

    2. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      well played doctor

  27. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    That might be the cheapest lineup in FPL terms I've ever seen from United. Pogba the only one above 8m? Where are all the stars?

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rested for Europa League clash

  28. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hmmmm played PVA ahead of Valencia first sub for Ibra hmmmmm

  29. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why is everyone acting surprised ibra got benched?

    Old man, away game in Europe just days ago, manager already indicated rotation

    Was pretty obvious

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lol

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not as obvious as Kane (c) this week.

    3. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Are you trying to fit in? 🙄 😆

  30. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Much more important to get the best and well rested XI out for the Anderlecht game. This game is meaningless given likelihood for top 4 is very low. Same situation with Pool last season...
