Sunday’s tea-time kick-off pits two unbeaten sides together, as Swansea City welcome Manchester United to the Liberty Stadium. The Swans recorded a comfortable 2-0 win over Newcastle United in their last home match-up but now face a United unit that’s yet to concede a goal this term.

Garry Monk’s new-look attack has carved through the opposition with consummate ease, placing second for attempts (56) and joint-first for big chances (eight) and shots on target (24). This forward impetus has been balanced by a rigidity at the back, as evidenced by the fact they’ve conceded the fewest shots inside the box (11) of any side.

As for the Red Devils, they’ve limited their opponents to just 22 shots and one big chance in three match-ups. Having kicked off the campaign with back-to-back 1-0 wins, they’ve done just enough on the attacking front, ranking in the bottom half for shots inside the box (19) and shots on target (11).

    Rooney -> Gomiz
    Depay -> Pedro

    -4 and 2.1 to the bank

    Yay or nay?

    1. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      you should get pedro, but for a hit with everton and arsenal the upcoming matches I';m not sure

      1. BRONALDINHO
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Pedro doesn't really care for opposition, he was the golden sub for Barca against anyone, so many tight games were won by his goal...sigh

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Yay for me.

  2. Greenbackbøøg…

    Anything but a 0-0

    Anyone know when Dugout adds new players, based on the last few signings?

  4. 420king
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Thanks for telling me to keep Gomis instead of buying Wilson guys

    1. Would an idiot do that?
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      No problem.

    4. Kered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Was it for a hit? -4?

    5. Rossamous
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Gomis is better long term. Take it easy

    6. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Not a huge loss, he just scored 7 and Gomis is still playing, stop whining

    7. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      If this is meant sincerely then I applaud you. It's only right to thank those that help us (and you have been helped, there - I mean that).

    8. funnyoldgame

        Forgot that because someone suggested something to you that you have to do it!

  5. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    I can see Fellaini coming in at 60min

  6. KeepCalm

      we all do

    3. Make United Great Again

      Hated, adored, never ignored.

      1. funnyoldgame
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        like a turd on your kitchen floor

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Not sure I'd adore a turd personally

          1. funnyoldgame
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            sorry, assumed you were a ManU supporter.

          2. BRONALDINHO
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            to everybody their own

  7. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    how many people will be thrilled to see Swansea win with a goal to nil scored by an fpl anonymous player ? 😀

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      even as a Gomis owner I'll take that

    2. Would an idiot do that?
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      CORK!

    3. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      o/

    4. funnyoldgame
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Smalling OG would be funnier

    5. BRONALDINHO
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'll be okay with Shelvey scoring as well, even Siggy, he's so much ignored this season

  8. Garlana
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Depay...he's very much one of those players that you know should be doing better so you keep giving him and extra game...so far all he's done is gain me a yellow card >.

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      If he finished just a yellow card, it would be a success for me.

      Before deadline, I seriously considered to sell him for Coutinho.

  9. PSEBJ27
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Is it too much to ask for a Gomis hattrick? Looking likely.

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Hit the post there first half.

      But I'd imagine young Damien will keep a clean sheet because I benched him.

  10. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Chance of Gomis scoring in the 2nd half?

    1. PSEBJ27
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      High imo

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Hope so 🙁

    2. TK74

      50/50

    3. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      15/2 on paddy

    4. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Yes.

  11. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Who is the best mid for 7.4 or less to replace Ayew for the next few weeks?

    Already have Silva - Chadli - Payet - Mahrez

    1. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      why get rid?

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Swansea have a tough run and it's hard to justify keeping him and Gomis

        1. Would an idiot do that?
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Watford next I believe

          1. Jet5605
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Yes but I can sense a 0-0

        2. Del Griffith
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Sako at Palace looks interesting

          1. Jet5605
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Yes but probably not for the next two weeks

    2. BRONALDINHO
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Shaqiri but wait a week first

  12. PSEBJ27
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Ideal scenario, Darmian comes off at around 75th, Gomis proceeds to score a brace

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I don't mind that.

    2. BRONALDINHO
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      No.

      1. PSEBJ27
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Shhh

      Chicarito could be going West Ham

      1. PSEBJ27
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        What's his FPL price again?

        1. Jay_
            10 years, 5 months ago

            6m

            1. PSEBJ27
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              Interesting indeed

        2. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          If he goes, Utd will def sign a striker IMO

          1. PSEBJ27
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            They have Fellaini mate

      2. TK74
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Gomis looked good. Honestly might be worth holding over Teke or Lukaku until they find any type of consistent form.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Of course. Benteke has been terrible.

        2. Reedy
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Seriously impressed by him.

        3. funnyoldgame
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          3 goals in 4 games. Why would you even consider getting rid. Honestly to many knee jerkers around.

          1. TK74
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            it's all about run of fixtures

      3. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Maybe i should sell Memphis for him to perform. Sold Pelle last night and look what he did.

        Memphis, your last 45 minutes in my team.

        1. TK74
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Honestly I though Memphis was going to worthless all along coming from the dutch league, just look at Jozy Altidore, he lit it up there too. I got pulled into the hype after watching him destroy club brugge. Big mistake and waste of two game weeks. He simply isn't that good and Rooney is worse. There isn't one offensive player on Man U worth owning

          1. JamieLfc
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Mata

        2. Would an idiot do that?
          • 11 Years

        funny how mourinho has been up against all the best managers in the world and the one he's lost most to is Pardew.

        1. PSEBJ27
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Woah, don't diss Pardew like that

        2. TK74
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Mourinho= overrated. All that talent at Madrid can't deliver a champions league?

          1. Nicks93
            • 12 Years

            Same can be said for Pep at Bayern

      7. Hyperion
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Playing Ayew ahead of Sinclair appears to have been a right cock-up.

        1. Would an idiot do that?
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Benched after a Hattie and playing Sunderland?!

          1. Hyperion
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Like I said, a cock-up. I didn't see that Agbon and Grealish were both doubts otherwise I would've done, wasn't sure he would play. Looking on the bright side at least I might get a price rise out of him and I know he's a playable option now having barely had a shot previously.

        Gomis and Darmian playing.

        What do I want to happen ?!?

          Darmian goal then gets replaced after 60 then Gomis hatty.

            Pretty much exactly what happens in my ideal scenario.

          same here. I guess 8 points is a realistic outcome.

        The Watford keeper is Gomes
        The Liverpool defender is Gomez
        The Swansea striker is Gomis

        Please get them right

          Might have to just bite my tongue and use my free transfer on getting a United defender.

          Fixtures put me off, but they're looking in control once again today, no use burying my head in the sand...

            Lovren getting dropped would cause more headaches - Sakho/Sakho/Sako

            Before the Newcastle game I started thinking about not getting Shaw but looking at how we're playing I thought there might be potential for 3 clean sheets over next 5.

            Newcastle + Sunderland the safe bets (you'd hope) plus 1 more from Swansea, Liverpool or Southampton. Quite confident but at the same time Gomis is a handful!

            Yeah I might have to transfer out Benteke based on this.

        If this ends 0-0, it will be just as bad in FPL terms as the Arsenal Liverpool 0-0 game.

          Not really. Liverpool defenders are most popular.

        Does anyone think KDB will be an underwhelming signing with the amount of hype around him?

        1. Hypnos
          • 11 Years

          like Firmino?

          • 16 Years

          He has had less hype than Depay

          nope

        Best FW for 9.5 if you have Aguero and Wilson?

        Cannot believe 4 rounds are almost over.
        - 4 capt missed
        - WC used
        - placed 1,8 mill
        - best round 33 points

          I feel you. I haven't got better than 2 points from my captains yet

        Everybody already has 3 City so KDB will have low ownership unless he explodes

          Depends on his price.
