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.

          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Nah. 20pts. Maybe 30.

          Relatively sure

          I mean

          Or hoping so at least

          Or praying

          One of those...

    Mane to United this January

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

      Straight swap with Blind or Darmian. Would improve their defence.

  10. Guy Demel
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Is Mane carrying an injury? Seems to miss out a lot, more than rest would suggest

    1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I do wonder if he's still being eased back from his earlier injury.

      He's looked a little lacklustre the last couple of games too.

  11. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Coutinho and Salah check. Do some damage boys

  12. Sim Simma

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

  19. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Foster + Moreno > DDG + Otamendi for -4 is a no brainer right?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Not necessarily, as always it depends on your team, but in a vacuum yes that looks miles better.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Means next week I'll look like this:

        DDG
        Ota Christensen Alonso
        Salah Zaha Sterling Richarlison
        Kane Firmino DCL

        Pope Kabasele Maguire Carroll
