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.

  3. Cocky Spaniel Alves

    9 years, 2 months ago

    Firmino as a false nine works well for the team but doesn't really work for my fantasy team.

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

      Lol

  4. SirStevieG

  9. Egg noodle
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Cant figure out why so many jokers have Firmino.... Coutinho is the one man route into Liverpool midfield.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No he isn't.

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

      Mane

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

      lol! So only firmino is worth having? when you've also got firmino, mane, and llana? i have mane, and would have him over cout any day.

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

        only coutinho*

        1. Egg noodle
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Switch on the telly and watch the game...

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

            nah, would rather watch the city game thanks. mane the man to have, and he's scored, unlike coutinho:) enjoy.

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

            Watch more than one Liverpool game and you'll see that Coutinho is the least consistent of that midfield selection. Capable of exploding for 2 or 3 games and then disappearing for 6

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

      Been saying this all week and just been laughed at

      All I see is them crying about it and hoping for a Firmino hat trick now

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

        You seem to be a gun player - how about linking your team?

      2. Bushido
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Weren't you crying about Ibra not too long ago?

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

        Who 's been crying ?

    5. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Baffles me when there's 45 mins of football played and people like you emerge

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

      The whole midfield is a coin toss really

      Pay your money

    7. ChampChomp
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I really hope he scores now so you have to eat the pile excrement you just wrote

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

        pile of*

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

          haha!!

    8. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Clearly Firmino is not benefiting from his role as a false nr 9 but when he plays on the wing, he is a far better option than Coutinho.

  10. CABAYE4
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Thank lord for Aguero!

  26. Hobolicious
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    United with 4 goals. No involvements from Zlatan or Valencia.

    Liverpool with 3 so far. No involvement from Firmino (but Coutinho, Lallana AND Mané all have been involved in the goals).

    Unreal.
