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.

    Firmino hasn't even looked like scoring in a team who has scored 5 goals and he's playing FALSE 9.

    Useless.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      This

    2. Simon69

      9 years, 2 months ago

      Don't you supper Liverpool...

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

        I'm delighted with the performance, but Firmino is pissing me off lol

    3. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'm not watching but it's depressing. Both he and Ibra did this today

      1. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        No. Ibra had chances.

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

          One very good one, should have scored.

          1. Simon69
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Oh aye.

        2. Ravager
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Was more leaning to the 'team scored big, but no points' slant. But yup

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Aye:(

    5. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      False 9 hope ?

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

      I'm ruined. Only Aguero bringing points...

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

        Same, from 7 players, 6 of them on 2 pointers.

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

      He blanked this season when they scored 4 as well

    I predict Lukaku, Benteke and Firmino goals in the next 10 mins.

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'd take that!

    2. Turbo Timo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I hope so

  10. Cojiro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Worse GW of the season. 3 points from whole defence. Only have 1 city player but thankfully it's Kun (c)

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

      5, you've got bench points...

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

        Nope, Amat on 0 Holebas injured. Fletcher midfielder won't come in

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

    Oh my word

    Just seen Aguero's 1st goal

    Simply class

  12. Daniyal
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    so for those with still no Liverpool cover who would u choose now
    between
    A) Firminio
    B) Coutinho

    mane's too expensive :p

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

      I would get and leave Mane in, prob Cout otherwise

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Who do you think?

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

        owned firmino before
        tends to score when i dont have him :p
        so probably Coutinho then,cheaper aswell

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lallana and Milner say hi

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

      Flip a coin. I love Firm but...

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

      c) lallana?

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

        yeah certainly

    6. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lallana

  13. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone watching Everton? Lukaku alive?

  14. aCunha Mateta
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Firminho ruined my week

    1. Bees4Lyf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      same :/

  15. Judas
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    What type of injury is KDB's?

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

      Hammy

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

      just been told its a hamstring 🙁

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

      Hamstring it looks like

    4. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Probs the same as last week. De bryune overworks himself at times.

      Needs to start subbing him as soon as the game is basically won

  16. *sigh*
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Lallana actually the Pool mid to have?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      For this week anyway

      1. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        ..and previous weeks

  17. A Team Of James McCleans
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Firmino, false 9 or false hope?

  18. Twisted Saltergater
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Triple up on Aguero, KdB and Sterling is working well

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      ... until the KdB injury. Sanchez in then.

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

        This

  19. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    There's no h in Firmino guys.

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

      yeah this annoys me too

    2. moz_1983
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nor goals.

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

      2. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Alright.

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

      There are no goals in him either.

      1. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Waheeeee - awh

  20. Kane Train
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    De Bruyne injured

  21. Kun Tozser
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Letting Defoe go this week instead of Tekkers oops!

  22. adey70
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Can anyone beat 16 points from eight?

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Coutinho can nearly

    2. adey70
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      And I still think they were all good picks...

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

      Wow. nope. I have 12pts from 6 + Kun (C) and I thought that was bad, commiserations.

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

        and I took a -4... I somehow STILL have a green arrow according to FFFix.

    4. Cojiro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nope, well played

  23. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    milner is playing amazing as a lfb

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      please for him. He's a brilliant pro, always giving 100%.

      Would be easy for him to sulk at being put to LB. Not a bit of it.

      1. Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        yep agree. and rip moreno.

        milner seems a wokhorse wherever u put him

  24. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Benteke you twerp

  25. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Having to pick between KDB and Sanchez... 😐

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

      Easy now KDB is injured...

  26. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling nowhere near bonus

  27. Pratik
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Firminho(c), I feel like the mad king now 😛

  28. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Tekkers to Rash Rash then.

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

    Aguero on course for 3 BPS

    Projected 13 points in total as it stands

  30. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years

    1. The Tinkerman
