After Manchester United’s devastating blast at Old Trafford, the Gameweek rolls on with a batch of six three o’clock kick-offs.

Once again there’s a rich cast of Fantasy talent on show, with Manchester City, Liverpool and Everton all in action.

Sergio Aguero is undoubtedly the headline act and, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s blank, his output at Swansea City comes under greater focus.

Brought in by more than 400,000 new Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of today’s deadline, 18% of all FPL managers back Aguero with the captaincy in South Wales.

The top 100 have certainly been quick to jump on the Argentine – 41 of them have immediately trusted him with the armband.

Much is expected of the Liverpool midfield. They host Hull City at Anfield with Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane heavily backed for points.

Romelu Lukaku is another key asset on show as he makes the trip to Bournemouth. Now found in 19% of FPL squads, the Belgian starts and is captained by just 4%.

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

      1. cheekumz
        • 11 Years

        I do ... for example "one day all the ffs community will unite and in one collective voice call MNR96 a b@*$sack"

    6 GWs - 3 captain fails.

    1. Ziro
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Just captain Aguero.

      1. TheBusDriver
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Don't have him.

            • 10 Years

            With Aguero he would fail three times aswell 🙂

    2. Pipermaru

      • 10 Years

      On a sidenote, last season I had a 11 GW in a row with failed captain so don't even start...

  7. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    TOP 5 GW6 CAPTAINS

    1) Ibrahimovic 29.3%
    2) Aguero 18.4%
    3) De Bruyne 6.7%
    4) Lukaku 4.3%
    5) Costa 4.2%

    1. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      wow thats interesting.. Aguero this week will be a diff but by next week it seems he will be so common again..

  8. wowBOBwow
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I have Amat coming in for Baines and would genuinely be delighted with a 1.

    1. pokern1nja09
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Haha me too. Would be delighted for 1pt, but would probably take a 0

  9. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    This GW will only get worse for me now.

  10. Puntillimon

    1. Chucky

  11. rdamjan

    Why oooo why did I get Lovren??:S

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      because you didn't know he'd get ill and be back next week?

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      or because you thought the coutinho crank call was funny?

  12. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Was at pub for game, general concensus that Leicester were poor or United were awesome?

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      General consensus = Ibra > Rashford

    2. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      United were great in the first half and awful in the 2nd.

    3. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lei poor imo...but United looked much better without roon

    4. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Bit of both, after the first goal United totally dominated. 2nd half died out, good changes from Ranieri to kill the game a bit.

    5. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      cheers lads, exact same thoughts

  13. Cevap
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Have a feeling it will be a low scoring week. Kun blank....liv mids blank....knees start shaking and some critical price drops this week

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Everyone gets so scared if any of their players blank in 1 week lol

      Then it's many transfer hits to solve issues that are not even there

      1. Cevap
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        😆 you just know someone random will score well this week and will go up by .3

      2. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Wildcards being ripped up in the process.

  14. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Nyom starting - nailed on soon?

  15. Moorsey
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Selling Ozil, already got Sterling in the team. Do I switch to Alexis or KDB?

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Payet

    2. GREENDREAMS11
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      alexis atm with those fiuxtures

          Should have triple c than 😉

        9 years, 2 months ago

        Rashford looks to be rising tonight. Might need to make my transfer early this week!

        Gray > Rashford

        1. Cevap
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Yes

          1. Cevap
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Why did you keep gray in the first place

            1. The Rock
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Made 2 transfers already this week.

      4. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Baines to Clyne or Kosc next week it seems

        1. Sweetboi
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Keep Baines

          1. Swan - Villa Proud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Depends on extent of injury

      5. twoplustwo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Man like Mane C

      6. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        The idea of holding onto Ibra for Stoke is crumbling for me the more and more I think about it. My MF is really strange looking (Capoue, Firm, Lalanna, Remond and Barkley) all because of Ibra and Kun.

        I was only ever gonna keep Ibra till Stoke beause the MF needs rebuliding but by the time GW7 ends could be looking at massive swings for all my Ibra replacements and MF options....

      7. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        No Baines 🙁

        1. stachman
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah... This one's a real blow...

      8. stachman
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Is Pogba worth a punt now that Roo is dropped? How did he look like?

        1. Sweetboi
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Wouldn't say he's worth a punt.

        2. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Like he was out to punish me for selling him

        3. CostaCoffee
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          No

        4. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 2 months ago

            I dropped him for Firmino. He is not close to others around that price bracket tbh.

          • thepeen555
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            He got MOTM

        5. KOLASINA(C)
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Hoping that Hazard will score today so I won't have to take another hit to get rid of Ibra and Hazard.

          1. itwaswritten
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            It's vs. Arsenal... he probably will.

        6. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          The thought process here is so bizarre. I'm not mad that I chose Baines on wc. It was the decision I made with the info at the time. People think the fact they didn't correctly predict the hamstring injury in the warm-up means they made the "wrong" decision.

          1. Sweetboi
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Yep, shakey knees.

          2. Cevap
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            People think they can predict the future

          3. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Very true. I brought in Soure before the car crash and then did Holebas to replace him ( may still play) and have Baines too.

          4. Pipermaru
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Don't even try to understand people's train of thoughts. It's a waste of time

        7. itwaswritten
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Am I the only one who made Capoue a captain?

          1. EMERGING STAR
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Deeney (C) for me

        8. Kaneyonero
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Cmon (C)un

        9. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Baines, Grabban > Amat, Rashford? (-4)

          Would give me:
          Foster
          McAuley, Bellerin, Valencia (Toby, Amat)
          Ozil, Antonio, Bolasie, Pereyra (de Roon)
          Aguero, Ibra, Rashford

          Paves the way for Ibra, Bolasie > Lukaku, Firmino before GW8. After which, Firmino has great fixtures.

          1. Sweetboi
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            3:00 kick offs just underway, slow down.

            1. The Tinkerman
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              I will wait until tonight at the very earliest, of course.

        10. Permian23
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Firmino - triple captain.......

          1. itwaswritten
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Oh my...

            Get those 6 points!
