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.

    Wilshere is such a baby.

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

      Can't decide who is the most dislikable

      A Lingard
      B wiltshire

      If you had a free punch who's face would it be

      1. Punty McPuntface
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        A all day

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

          Yes it's gotta be A

        2. Waterwheel Inc.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Ditto that!

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

        Alli

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

        C- Herrera

        1. Punty McPuntface
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Can I hit lingard with Herrera??

      4. HNI
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Wilshere as atleast Lingard tries to help his team even with no gifted talent. I will use Studge glass legs to beat Wilshere

      5. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        James McClean's.

      6. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        The problem is, you wouldn’t be able to stop

    2. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes he is 😉

  2. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Off ya go Kun, nice and rested for Thursday

    1. Punty McPuntface
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He will score a least 1

  3. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Someone needs to hit Wilshere. What a terrible bloke.

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

      Horrible human being doesn't deserve anything

  4. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kun walks off. No comment by Neville

    1. Punty McPuntface
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No comment. No class

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

    Ok Aguero off now, seriously

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He's off and has a nice healthy limp.

  6. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane, Zlatan, Aguero, Hazard, Coutinho before he was sold...Wilshere. Not going to improve our standing if that's who wears the 10 shirt.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mkhitarian though

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        His 77 is quite an editorial statement as well.

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

      Should really be Ozil. But if Ozil plays, who in the team is going to do all the defensive running for him? Xhaka, Wilshere, Ramsey? Got to be joking.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Hollow at the core, isn't it?

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

    Please help? 🙂

    1) Sterling and B. Silva -> Eriksen and Shaqiri (-4)
    2) B. Silva -> Shaqiri
    3) Otamendi -> Davies
    4) Otamendi and Sterling -> Davies and Eriksen (-4)

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

      4

    2. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      1 or 4

  8. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Bellerend has really regressed, to think he was being linked with Madrid

    1. HNI
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ozil the most. Thats what Arsenal does to you. Get you in your comfort zone so you can nicely enjoy London life with good money and no care and ambition in the world

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

        Exactly this. But happens to West Ham, Watford, QPR etc. too. London attracts average players to those clubs who are looking for the London life and not to improve the club / team.

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

      He was linked with Barca allegedly.

  9. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Out Alonso + Lingard
    In Simpson + Eriksen
    For -4, good or bad idea?
    Should I save FT?
    Thanks.

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

      Good god no why on earth would you get Simpsom

  10. The special 5
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero looks injured why else would he come off

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      To get the ovation. Limping off is what he does

      1. The special 5
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        ok

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Always does. Then always starts next game. Then always scores.

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

    They got this, pretty much in the bag for the PL. Can Citeh go on to win UCL and seal the treble?

    1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They could yes...

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Could do

    3. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They will.

  12. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    2 to go.

    1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Booooo

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Ah come on TM, was only messing

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      3 to go

  13. Grounderz
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    This Carabao final result is going to make PL rather interesting, with MCI having some bad fixtures coming up.

    ARS need a strong rebound from this defeat, so the Thursday game will be exciting if MCI drops points.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’ve got Aguero and Mkhi, could be a good night

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

        Absolutely, Mkhi looks very likely to bring home the goods.

    2. borat
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Think arsenal will be hammered again

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

        A fool can't be shame twice. ARS will be the biggest joker of a team all season if they lose this Thursday.

        Fighting for a spot in Top Four, fresh from a memory of defeat to the same team in a cup final, I am sure they will be very worked up to fight for a win.

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

          Will be?

        2. borat
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Only I can hope that as an arsenal fan, but this team looks out of sorts at the moment with no spine. The backline is really shaky

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

      Beast from the East may spoil it ...... ( not Kola!)

    4. WVA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero will score again

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

    Sterling on the pitch

  15. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Haha Mendy with his trusty selfie stick. Loves being injured I swear

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

      Bit like Sturridge, prefers sitting around and getting paid millions

  16. mdm
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which one would you play:

    A. Ogbonna (swa)
    B. Fraser (lei)
    C. Depoitre (tot)

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

      Not got a transfer?

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

    Half the stadium is empty. LOL.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The Arsenal fans are hardly going to hang around to watch City lift the trophy are they?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        15 minutes ago.

    2. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 14 Years

      That’s what generally happens

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

    Serious question. City a small or big club?

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not as big as their manager.

  19. LǝgleSs e|even

    I need to know Who's this troll with the GoPro?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mendy

  20. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lloris
    VVD Jones Simpson
    Salah Sterling Pogba Shaqiri
    Kane Firmino Vardy

    Subs: Coleman Daniels TC Goldson
    2.8 itb

    Get rid of Pogba or Shaq first? (Using FH in gw31 - no WC)

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

      Simpson

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

      Why on earth would you get rid of Shaq?

      1. FC Hakkebøf

  21. Fantasyfootballer
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    My team is awful at the minute, thrown away a big lead in my ML.

    Pope - Elliot
    Alonso - Kiko - VVD - Dawson - Ogbonna
    KDB - Son - Sterling - Salah - Choupo
    Kane - Wilson - Quaner

    Should I do Son & Sterling to Mahrez and Mane for a -4? Have the exact cash.

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

      No

  22. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Did Wilshere just refuse to take his runner up medal there?

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

      Went for the haircut.

  23. Dr Dream

    8 years, 1 month ago

    One of the worst commentaries I've ever heard brought to us by Gary Neville.

    Yes this is a poor Arsenal team by their standards and yes they have been thumped by one of the best teams we've ever seen in the prem....but that relentless monologue was just over the top.

    He's supposed to be providing commentary for millions watching at home...not relentlessly going on and on about how sh*te he thinks Arsenal are.....

    1. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Was OTT, but you have to admit it was pretty funny

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ya it did come across as a bit biased.
      He was definitely gunning for the Manchester team.

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Agree. He stuck it up them as far as he could. And obviously loved every minute of it.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Aye. If he wants to rant like that it's a length of dialogue more suited to his own You Tube channel...not as a commentator...He went way past his job description.

        I tuned in for a cup final not "The Gary Neville show"

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I quite enjoyed it

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…

        😆

    5. MTPockets
        8 years, 1 month ago

        espn commentary was good - so blunt.

        1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Commentator 1 “Arsenal are shite”

          Commentator 2 “yep”

          1. MTPockets
              8 years, 1 month ago

              pretty much

          Even in this day and age commentators are allowed an opinion...

          1. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Yes they are...but not to the extent of actually completely ignoring the game to just rant on about Wenger, the fans and the players.

            1. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              ...because that's what he did....

        Quite apt that Pep is the one wearing a yellow ribbon 🙂

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Ya fair play to him it is no business of the FA if some individual wants to wear such a ribbon especially with the big hullabaloo they make about the poppy every year.
