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.

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

          How ridiculous a comment that is.

      • KeepCalm
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Chances of Shaw playing against Stoke?

        1. red devil 7
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          75%

        2. Zlatan Time
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Blind was amazing, not so sure now...

        3. Somalion
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I'm hoping he names an unchanged starting XI

        4. Revival

          • 15 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Would be v harsh on blind. Reckon MouMou has hit on a winning formula & if he has any sense will stick with it for a few games.

        For those of you not yet WC'd, GW8 looks like a very good time?
        Lose Ibra and upgrade mids/ sort out defence for fixtures..

        Or would you be more tempted to hold off until closer to Xmas?

        1. eazy
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Currently pondering about playing it now or after the next GW. Little worried about Ibras price falling :/

          1. UnitednationsXI
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

      • Aston-villain
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

        1. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

      • Celt Abroad
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Liverpool are looking Brendan Rogers/Louis Suarez era good: tremendous pressing all over the pitch. Lack the killer strike force of that era though.

      • Jafooli

        9 years, 3 months ago

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

      • Del Griffith

        These English players using the foreign players to assist them and in the end they will be applauded as if they did everything.

          Anyone else gets disappointed when Stelling gets hyped and it just ends up being about Hartlepool?
