The first of two Sunday afternoon matches gets underway at 2.15pm as West Bromwich Albion welcome Manchester United to The Hawthorns.

Back on the scoresheet in the midweek win over Bournemouth, Romelu Lukaku is the second top captain pick for Gameweek 18, handed the armband by 14.9% of Fantasy Premier League managers.

Jesse Lingard continues in the visitors’ starting XI and remains an overlooked midfield option – priced at 5.9 and owned by just 2%, he’s produced 12 and 15 points in his last two on the road.

Although the arrival of Alan Pardew has instilled some resilience to the Baggies’ backline – they’ve conceded just one goal in three – the midlands outfit remain toothless in attack and have yet to find the net under their new manager.

That lack of cutting edge bodes well for David de Gea’s 43% owners, then, as the Spaniard looks to steer his side to an eleventh clean sheet of the season.

Jose Mourinho also retains Phil Jones on the teamsheet today – nine of their 10 clean sheets have came in the 12 matches that the former Blackburn man has started this season.

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

    3.1 itb.

    This week I'm doing Firmino > Morata. Leaves me 0.9itb for next week:

    A) Daniels > Monreal
    B) Richarlison > Lanzini + Daniels > Smalling (United double up)?

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A because Lanzini will be hit with a ban for diving I think.

    Herrera almost the same height as Rondon. Mind blown.

      Rondon about 4cm taller

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

    When is the deadline for a suspension from 5 yellow cards?

    With Kane now on 4 it could become a big problem.

    1. Brap.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      After 19 games

    2. Rainer

    If United are the second best team in the Prem.... How many points are City going to win the league by?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years

        Probably a good shout that.

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      If the gap was reset to 0. It would probably be 12+ again by end of season, so I would say around 30 points.

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I wonder if City will beat the points record..? Chelsea set it a few seasons ago didn't they?

        1. stachman
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I think it was with Ancelotti on board... Or was it a goal scored record?
