Sunday’s Premier League action is completed by a potentially tumultuous clash at Old Trafford as Manchester United host champions Chelsea.

Inevitably the head-to-head between Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte will hog the media spotlight but the interest of Fantasy managers is likely to lie elsewhere.

David De Gea is the top owned asset on show – he remains part of 43.2% of squads with his managers hoping that the Spaniard can help his side to a sixteenth clean sheet of the season. He’s kept three successive shut-outs at Old Trafford.

But Chelsea have the weaponry to breach Mourinho’s rearguard.

Both Eden Hazard and Willian arrive in superb form, though the pair are relative differentials, owned by 7.9% and 7.5% respectively.

Hazard has six goals in his last six Gameweeks while Willian arrives having scored in an impressive midweek showing against Barcelona. The Brazilian has two goals and three assists in his last two Premier League starts.

That pair will flank Alvaro Morata who earns a recall and first start since Gameweek 23.

Marcos Alonso remains a far more popular Blues asset, though he has lost over 364,000 owners over the last two Gameweeks heading into this afternoon’s encounter. However, the wing-back is still part of 1.1 million squads.

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

    Players covering their mouth while talking to each other embarrass me.

    1. Davido989

      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why does it embarrass you?

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It's so stupid.

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Its to stop lip readers.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Well obviously. But, really? Wouldn't see this in any other sports.

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          You get it a lot in NFL, but thats a lot more tactical and the coaches that cover their mouths.

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Wasn't aware. Never seen it in nba.

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

      Don't worry, they weren't talking about you.

    4. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Agree. Why they think anyone gives a toss what they are saying is beyond me.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly this.

    5. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Me too, but only because it seems like a fashionable thing to do now. Tryhards 🙂

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Its pathetic.

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

    7. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Having one of those sign-language people run around with them, that would be embarrasing

  2. Garlana

    8 years, 1 month ago

    Dunk haul coming off the bench for sterling!

    1. Garfield1001
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      So many will get Shaqiri, Lingard etc

  3. SirStevieG
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is Sterling a chance to play next week?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      High chance, seems is being rested.

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        not even a sub today

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, hence I said he's being rested.

          1. LǝgleSs e|even
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Sweet. Thx Fred.
            Hoping he bags on Thursday

              • 8 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Kind of a good point this

    2. Old Bull
      • 12 Years

      Hope the snow doesn't stop play. 3 players in that game

    Just shame embarrassing

  5. diesel001

    Crap GW. 42 with Otamendi, KDB and Sterling to go

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

      That's good

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

        Nah - Top 10k average is well above that. Really need an Arsenal win today and then Man City to seek revenge on Thursday

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

        He knows

  6. BIGREDDOG

    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone saying Morata is offside is lying to themselves

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nobody cares. GGMU

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 8 Years

        Win a decent trophy and we'll talk

  7. Davido989

    How will the top 4 finish?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      City, United, Pool, Chelsea

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        If Spurs dont get top 4 do you think they will keep all their players?

        1. Digital-Real
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Who's interested in their players apart from Kane?

          1. BIGREDDOG
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Lots of very good players. What you hear in the papers arent everything mate 😀

            I (Barcelona supporter), wouldn't mind if we signed Eriksen/Lloris/Vert/Aldi/Sanchez/Rose/Wanyama.

    What to do with Son?

    Did he came in as a good subs?

    Poch will start Son vs huddersfield?

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I'm getting rid for Eriksen next gw.

    2. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No one knows if Poch will start him next game.

      Probably better to sell now that he will get rotated.

  9. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Play:

    A) Lingard (cpa)
    B) Wilson (lei)

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

    Average 46.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Meh 49 with 2 to go.

    2. Phaze 1
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Surprised it so high. Kaku still highly owned I guess.

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah. Just under 20%. Lingard just under 12% as well.

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Oups.. below average again..
      Hope Kun and Sterling make up for it.. fingers crossed.
      They might not even start in fact.

  11. valksy
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I know this might be petty but 1 point is 1 point

    Why Alonso have 1 point no yellow card, only conceded 2

    very vital in head to head

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      2 goals = -1pt

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

      2pt appearances less 1pt for conceding two goals. Simple

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

      Can't be serious.

      Whats 2 (minutes played) - 1 (two goals conceded) ?

    4. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      -1 point for conceding 2 goals.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA

        Gee whizz...! :rolleyes:

    5. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Conceded 2.

  12. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Typical Man U always getting the big calls in their favour. English equivalent of Barcelona or Real Madrid.

    1. makaveli123

      Do you want some cheese with that whine?

      This

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That was a tough call and in real time most people’s initial thought was that he was offside. Those are the breaks.

    4. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lol

    5. thomashl

      Is this a post from 10 years ago?

  13. FPL Blow-In

    Monitoring Arsenal assets today and Thursday. Sterling/KDB may be on the chopping block with the fixture swing.

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ramsey on my radar

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah same. Mkhi probably more nailed for the league games. Aubameyang would be lovely but have to upgrade Wilson which might be silly considering gw31

    2. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I got Kun

      Kun --> Auba seem pretty good

      Have Firm + Kane too

        1. Optimus.
          • 15 Years

          i thought about that but what's the point?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Wildcard after week 1 and week 2 to catch the price rises.

    3. badgerboy

    52 with only Sterling left could be worse shame my transfers done feck all again Walcott Marhez was a close 50/50 with Eriksen Shaqiri and I choose wrong 🙁

    1. mir

      Any ideas for any changes? Planning needed for GW31 as no FH chip:

      Adrian
      Alonso | Robertson | Mee
      Salah | Hazard | Sterling | Milivojevic
      Kane | Firmino | Vardy

      Elliot | Simpson | Dummett | T.Carroll

      Thanks

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years

        Alonso and Hazard out for a -4. What I am planning this GW. Probably for Eriksen and Vertonghen

      Sterling targeting return for Chelsea according to the Times so may get your sub points off bench

    Can't make good decisions every week: Got Vertonghen and Deulufeo in for Jones and Lingard.

    Nice to see Lukaku have a good match - more premium priced players in the picture for the runin is a good thing.

        Depending on his double...

      If owning Kane and keeping Salah it'll come down to Hazard or Lukaku (if you consider him) and its not even a contest.

        Yep, Luka easy-peasy

    I am not so fussed about selling Lingard .... but could you imagine benching him for the first time in ages he hauls 😉

    1. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      i got him GW 23 and that's the first time he's returned any points

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years

      Any chance Sterling doesn't play on Thurs and i get the 6 point Lingard haul

      1. Hotdogs for Tea

        no, you will get one point for a late cameo from Sterling 😉
