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. Bushido
      • 9 Years

      No

  2. Shifty

    Sorry fellas!

  3. Would an idiot do that?
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Firmino goal would be nice eh?

    1. zizoo10
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      oh yes, would be delightful

    2. Cevap
      • 15 Years

      Probably next week

  4. PvA

    Look at my grav

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years

      I wish there was a block button

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

        Same

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

        A delete one would be perfect.

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

      Never! Dammit, just did

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

        😆

  5. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    The Liverpool MD selection is a lottery, prob best holding the one for the season as they'll all finish with similar points.

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

      Sadio.

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

        I would have liked mane but he's a little too expensive. Had to go with Firminho.

        1. The Left Duke #3
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I'm on Firmino too by the way

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

        Mane all the way Jazz!

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

      Agreed, if you chop and change you'll lose massive points

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

        Or gain even more.

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

      I agree

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

      Probably best to have 2 of them

    5. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah. This seems like the way forward.

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

      Yep, so erratic with the points.

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

      Coutinho and a.n. other for me

    8. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Or just have more than one of them

  6. popcoin
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Son's second goal is ridiculous in several ways. Just how

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

      The son always rise

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

        Stuck him in this week 😉

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

          Same, he's a perfect FPL player.

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

            Yeah his stats were ridiculous

  7. Jakarta
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    How is Lukaku looking? Any chances?

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

    Still think Hendo is the best route into the Liverpool midfield.

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

      Milner, no?

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

      Agreed.

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

      James is the one.

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

      Lucas attacking stats say otherwise

  9. topgolfer48
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    ibrahimavic captain should i transfer him for aguero

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years

      Mhm

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

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Stoke. Each gw is different. Stay the course for an easy home match.

  10. Spg76
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Silva on a yellow. The casuals might get lucky with an early substitution with Iheanacho coming on

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

      Think it got changed to Fernadiho no?

      1. Spg76
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I'm with you. They made a mistake on tv and gave it to Silva

    2. Spg76
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not if they need a goal

  11. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years

  14. Chucky
    • 12 Years

    Sterling and Benteke played well?

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

      Sterling yes, busy & central. Swans working hard though.

  15. Would an idiot do that?
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    1. Trae44
      • 10 Years

    2. SW6

  23. Le _ Professeur
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Lukaku - Benteke - Firmino - Eriksen

    Someone do something please 😀

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

    A bit worried about Firmino's place next week though when Sturridge is back....

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty evident that Klopp isn't a big fan of Sturridge. This team out now is his favourite I think

    2. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Dont, Klopp is not feeling Sturridge

    3. Frank Black
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      LOL.

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

      When Sturridge started against LEI, Firmino played directly behind him and scored twice. Might do him good.

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

        Well indeed surely he plays better when Sturridge is on the pitch, but with Mane and Lallana being rested midweek and scoring now, and Coutinho being the best man on the pitch today, it seems to be Firmino's place that's at risk....

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

    Son's returns... wow

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

    Had a horrendous GW4, GW5 = 76 Points.

    Keep the faith all. Ups and downs

  27. Brayden29
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Ibra out for Rashford?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Cool kids have already done that

      1. Brayden29
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Good decision if you did

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

      WIll be THE popular move this week.

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

    ...

  29. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Should Son now be considered even despite having City as his opposition next week?

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

      I think I will stay away from this, was just having a look but already have a decent team for next week

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

      No (hopes he stays a differential)

    3. Frank Black
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      You should take a look at his next few fixtures, not just next week, son.

  30. some witty pun
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    i just woke up.

    so how is it possible that Ibra was not involved in all 4 goals?

    1. Brayden29
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      3 of Man U's goals came from corners of some sort

    2. Le _ Professeur
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe you're still dreaming 😛
