Gameweek 2 begins in south Wales, with Swansea City hosting early league leaders Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho’s side claim that position following Sunday’s 4-0 demolition of West Ham United – their biggest opening weekend victory since 2006 (5-1 vs Fulham).

In contrast, Swansea will play host having battled to a 0-0 stalemate at Southampton; a game which saw them muster just four shots on goal to the Saints’ 29.

However, Paul Clement’s side are unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches – winning four and drawing two – and are on the verge of a club record if they can possibly avoid defeat today.

Goals may be hard to come by for the home side who are without the departed Gylfi Sigurdsson and last season’s leading scorer, Fernando Llorente. That pair contributed 53% of Swansea’s goals last season.

United will look to Romelu Lukaku for their goals.

Backed by his growing Fantasy ownership – which now accounts for 53.5% of FPL managers – the Belgian will look to build on last weekend’s brace against the Hammers.

However, his record against Swansea is far from convincing. He has claimed just three goals in 11 appearances against the Welshmen and has failed to score against them in his last six outings.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    J Rod hatrick today!

  2. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Quite happy with that as a Kane captainer. What's everyone else's thoughts?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Same as

    2. The Cloud Watcher
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Pretty satisfied as well. Would have been a different story if Lukaku had scored two or three mind!

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        True!

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

      Unhappy because he scored a goal

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      As a mkhi owner and kaku captainer I am also satisfied

    5. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Happy with Kaku goal in the bank to be honest

      So u grew the balls after all 😉

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

    7. Boydinho
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Same, if hadn't put C on Salah and VC on Kane by accident.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Could pay off tbf!

  3. Hot Fuzz
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

  4. BRKFCTrueRover
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    As a mane owner I feel somewhat justified in selecting the more nailed one but must admit Im surprised Salah is benched

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah didn't expect Salah not to play! Hopefully Mane will punish

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I've got Salah on the bench & Moreno not even in the squad 🙁

      JWP is also benched. I might make rough with the smooth this week 🙂

  5. DoobNoob
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Help pls
    Got Jones, Mkhi and Lukaku... But want Pogba... What do I do?

    A) Jones out, Pogba in
    B) Mkhi out, Pogba in
    C) No Pogba

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      CCC

      Dropping Jones or Mkhi is utterly absurd

    2. RMA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      i hope you're trolling

    3. Sendmelentils

  7. The Sherwinator
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I was so close to making Salah my captain this week, but I ended up making him vice captain. Never again will I consider making a Liverpool player my captain

    Need a KDB double digit haul on monday or price will fall like a stone

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Even at that looks like a Pogba will keep pace with him for 2.0 less

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Can't see it against Everton.

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      of course not - stupid move

      1. The special 5
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Why Pog got 2 in 2

    2. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      hell no

    3. Dokdok666
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Do it. Mhki only has 4 assists in 2 games, pathetic compared to Pogba.

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Ahh no!!

    Tadic masterclass incoming lol.

  11. Agger
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Alan Pardew and Thierry Henry are really persuading me to get Pogba over Mkhi.

    1. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      'Alan Pardew'

      1. Agger
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Bitter much 😉

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Henry is really persuading me to cancel sky subscription. The guy is a moron.

      1. Agger
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        He's the highest paid pundit as well

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          He makes every bit of analysis about himself. It really is astounding the size of his ego, and he has the insight of the village idiot.

    3. Agger
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      "He'll get 10-15 goals for sure"..

    4. Bushido
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      How much is pogba in the game?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        He's 8.0 now, but will be 8.3 by GW3 & 8.5 for GW4 after international break

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Stopped reading at Pardew

      1. Agger
        • 9 Years

        Haha

    6. The Cloud Watcher
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Pogba did look very good for the last 20 mins. I reckon he'll score more goals than Mkhi over the course of the season, but Mkhi will probably rack more assits and bps.

  12. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Time to breathe again, for 15 minutes!

    BAPs according to Fantasy Football Fix

    3 bonus points: Bailly (43)
    2 bonus points: Lukaku (31)
    1 bonus points: Jones, Mkhitaryan, Blind (29)

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years

      Thank you

    2. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Where is Pogba?

      1. Hot Fuzz
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        year where is pgba ?/ is the yellow card cutting his bonus down>?

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          It's only after the score was 2-0. Mkhy should go above Lukaku. Pogba, Bailly, Mkhy to get the bonus, 3,2,1 or 3,3, 1

      2. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        He was booked

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, but 1 goal, 2 assists, 1 YC still equals 3 bonus I think.

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Pogba?

      • diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Not updated after it was 2-0. Pogba will be there.

      • Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Thats after the second goal.

      • Samwise the Brave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I'd be very happy with that but no chance with pogba with 1 goal 2 assists

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          can't see it either, but he did get booked and had shots off target.

      • TheBusDriver
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Pogba 0 bps? No way

      • Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Surely not. Pogba with a goal and two assists.

      • InSaneMan-e
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        How does Lukaku get 2!?
        I captained him but surely shouldn't even be 1...

      • RLukaku
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yessss

      • Waxys
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

      • F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        no chance; that's at 2-0

      • Danno - Emre Canada
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        No chance it finishes like that

    7. The Quiff
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I haven't been around for this FPL updating drama today, but my take on it is that they're funneling resources into the draft side of things. This could be how it is from now on.

    8. Waxys

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        At least 9pts = 2pts appearance + 1pt CS + 3pts assist + 3pts assist

    15. Trading Bear
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      So who else has no Pogba, Mhiki or Lukaku and also has Salah (c)....?

      Just me then? ah well, what 10 minutes of joy that was.

      Conflicting interest in draft team.

      So Milk or Pogba in addition to Kaku seems like must ATM? A?

      Well done Mark for that hit for Mikk ultimate hit? Genius.
