A stalemate at Turf Moor leads us into five afternoon kick-offs with Old Trafford undoubtedly the focus of our attention.

Manchester United host Huddersfield Town with the opportunity to close the gap at the top, as Alexis Sanchez is handed his home debut.

Signed by 56,000 ahead of today’s deadline, the Chilean is captained by 85,000 of his 271,000 owners for the meeting with the Terriers.

The big team news is that both Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial are dropped from Jose Mourinho’s starting line-up. Owned by 911,000 and 297,000 respectively, they were the two most signed United assets ahead of Gameweek 26. Juan Mata is recalled to the XI, while Scott McTominay gets a start.

Elsewhere Callum Wilson goes into his home meeting with Stoke City as the second most signed player having picked up 224,000 new owners. He boasts four goals and two assists from his last six Gameweeks.

Meanwhile, Leicester City – without Riyad Mahrez – face Swansea City at the King Power Stadium and field a very attacking line-up. Claude Puel hands Fousseni Diabaté a Premier League debut, while Kelechi Iheanacho earns a first start since Gameweek 8.

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

    Benched Wilson for Shaqiri last GW.

    Benched Shaqiri for Wilson this GW. FML. Now I remember why I had Mbemba and DCL.

      Similar this week for me lol. Just realized I forced myself to have a benching headache...

    Hello lads!

    Didn't watch the City game. Can I get a quick summary in terms of FPL?

    1. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling miss of the season.

      1. Fresh_From_Desh
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Aguero woeful

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          That's annoying, I capped him

      2. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Heard something like that. That bad?

        1. Fresh_From_Desh
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          He got into some great positions and I'm screaming pull the trigger but he lays it off to someone else instead.

          The Kun of old would have hit the roof of the net

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Ugh. I would've been very frustrated watching that, maybe a good thing that I didn't wake up

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling missed the easiest goal of all time

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I need to see this thing, people like to exaggerate with misses but I have a feeling this was genuinely bad

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Burnley compact with City getting half chances, Danilo screamer from a short corner. Sterling missed a sitter 😡 and Burnley equalised from a corner with 8 min left

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Kinda how I expected the game to go, tbh. I just didn't think we'd concede.

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

      Aguero, Sterling wasteful
      KDB off day
      Gundogan busy
      Bernardo very tidy game
      City defence avoid

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Good to see Bernardo is getting into the groove of things. Not happy with the rest.

  3. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Bringing in Daniels didn't work out at all

  4. Ghost Gooner

    8 years, 4 months ago

    Where is Alexis? 😆

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

    2. ★Kuntheman★

      Dang ... regret not bringing him in

  12. Zilla
    • 8 Years

    JLingz was more threatening than Alexis till now

  13. Fresh_From_Desh

    Calling it now, worst game week ever!

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      Guess you weren't around for Cahill snowgate week 🙂

      Or captained him

      1. Fresh_From_Desh
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Triple captained Andy Carroll, that was bad

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

      Amazing one so far.

  14. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone else think that Mourinho will sod off to PSG real soon?

    This dull football and benching record signings can't go on forever. How long can the fans resist?

    Someone like Tuchel or Enrique should be a perfect fit. Would mean entertaining football as well.

    1. Unfathomable Ruination
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      No

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'm not sure why they'd want him tbh

      1. soup natsi
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        he's not bad in cl

      2. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Because they won't get Pep.

        Mourinho would mean CL success with the squad they have.

  15. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Mata playing times, Lingard making great runs, MU pouring on the pressure....Huddersfield 1-1 MU

  16. Give The Todd Some Love

    Stoke actually look pretty decent, Ndiaye is making a massive difference

        10 essentials as an owner of a FFS account

        You have to..

        1. LoL @(insert player name) owners / non- owners/cappers
        2. Always complain in hindsight about picks
        3. Blame others for YOUR choices
        4. Brag about points (humble, subtle and direct). Important to state your rank! If someone else brags, make sure to let them know
        5. Make up injury rumours to cause massive confusion
        6. Link to comments to prove you were right on earlier statements
        7. Complain about a bad gameweek
        8. Call someone a kissass for giving compliments to Mark
        9. Ignore the gravless
        10. Write the name of every person who scores, assists or gets a card, because clearly no one checks up on these things themselves

        Am I missing anything obvious?

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          No that's just the essentials of being a d***head

            • 9 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Kind of the point.. Really hoped things would change at some point.

            • 9 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            I prefer being here during DZ... much calmer, and people actually get to discuss things properly. Way more useful

            • 9 Years

        7. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          12. Repost "rate my team" during matches at the top of every comments page, ignoring the fact that no-one cares.

          13. Declare captain fail 5min into a game if your captain doesn't score

          14. Announce you're quitting FPL every week, then come back anyway.

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

              15. Refer to every one else's good/sensible play as "jammy"

              16. Label someone a casual if they get a good score and you don't 🙂

              1. FC Hakkebøf
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 4 months ago

            Lol at This.
            Made a long poll a few years back about which comment was the worst on here.
            #3 is definitely the worst in my book.
            Not very bad, But I personally also tire from the “I bought X, so prepare for blanks”-comments.
