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.

    Was going to TC firmino but held off and went for a safe Aguero (C)

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

      Bit strange that you went from TC Firmino to captaining Aguero. You know you could have still captained Firmino if you felt so strongly?

      why would you switch then?

    3. GinjaWhinja
      • 16 Years

      I went Mané. HT incoming.

  2. Lord Flashheart

    Will ibra drop twice before a home game vs Stoke??

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

      Even more than two.

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        That's crazy

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

      Decent chance i reckon.

    3. jayzico
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hope so. Yet I hope even more he comes good when I get rid of kak for him next week. I didn't dissect my team hideously for 28 point hit for this to happen. Now no Lovren. WTF

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

      he actually might even tho he has STK which is crazy..

      Aguero getting a few today would make people jump!

  3. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Ibra 🙁

  4. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5 goals from Aguero please

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

      He is so scoring 3.

  5. Mull
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Let's have some Aguero punishment!

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

      6 game ban for nutting the ref.....

  6. jayzico
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    What's up with Lovren?

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ill

    2. Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Viral Infection. Brought him in on WC. Rather frustrating.

    3. jayzico
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ah cool. Get well soon then Lovren. Love you.

  7. 4vets
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Interesting. 5 Live just said Kun has never scored at Swansea.

    1. Zlatan Time
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He scored 2 in his first season at City.

      1. 4vets
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Not at Swansea

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

        He did indeed, first game of the season.

        1. 4vets
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          This season? 😉

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

            No, his first ever season in the prem, it was his Premier League debut. But it was at home.

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

          Ah, I see you mean away. Kun has been injured for quite a few trips to Swansea I think, he's only played 3 in the League that I can see. Still, poor by his standards. He has 9 goals in 5 games this season so far.

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

            Make that 10 in 6 games!

  8. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    No Baines! What happened?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hamstring issue

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

      Hammy.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        fecking great.

    4. Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hamstring problem. Probably not too serious but not good for owners who nearly went for Coleman like myself.

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Damn!!!

  9. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Capoue scored yet?

    1. Zlatan Time

      9 years, 2 months ago

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

    Firmino will score 4 since I changed captaincy to Kun

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

  11. Shultan
    • 9 Years

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years

    3. The Tinkerman

    1. jayzico
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If anyone is WCing you HAVE to do it tonight. What's the point otherwise? WCs are for playing the price rises, yet so many don't get this

  14. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Swansea goal disallowed

  15. PvA

    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

  18. PvA
    • 9 Years

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

    1. La Roja

    • fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      This Son is worth getting looks like especially with Kane out.

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago
