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.

    Any chance of baps for Tekkers?

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yes maybe 2

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

        Ooooooh

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      1 maybe 2

    3. GARYNEVILLESTASH
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I believe he missed out by like 3 points?

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      1 max

  2. GARYNEVILLESTASH
    • 12 Years

    Step up Alexis.

  4. 1966 was a great year for E…
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Is Adam Smith OK?

    Great bench play from him 🙂

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

      I'm told he played on.

      My sub for Baines... worked out alright.

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

    Early thoughts on who to bring in for Hazard (if he doesn't perform today)?

    I might bring in Sanchez/KDB and downgrade Valencia to 4.5 for a -4. Or just double up on Liverpool (already own Mane)? Son also looks a threat.

  6. Lallana_
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Got unlucky owning Mane/Firmino today but I will be patient.

    Hopefully Koscielny does well. Got him and Smith coming off the bench.

    And great stuff from De Bruyne as usual.

    And how about Sunderland bottling that? Bad start for Pickford.

  7. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years

    Step up Hazard

  13. Numb

    Don't worry Firmino owners - he's still the 5th highest scoring mid in terms of FPL points

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

      In the Liverpool team I mean 😉

    2. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Owned him for all the matches expect the one where he scored a brace. He's a troll.

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      And next weekend it'll probably be him having a huge haul while Coutinho and Mané blank.

      Whichever Liverpool mid you get you're probably goong to find that some weeks you strike gold with them and some weeks you'll get naff all.

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

        Let's face it, he probably won't.

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

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

      Smith. But even that has been tarnished by his injury 🙁

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

        was the injury serious?

        1. Tommy J
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

    Rondon will get all 3 bonus points if it doesn't change

  18. Garlana
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Why did Kelly get subbed off at 75th min? Injured or change of formation/tactics?

  19. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Is Son worth a shout?And Lallana for Firmino?

    1. Fowler23
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Stick with Firmino

  20. LeicesterA
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    This game is so trying at times. Aguero my only slice of happiness. Holding Firmino though, it's just a Liverpool lottery.

  21. Fowler23
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Coleman on 3 BAPs ? WTF

    1. thep025
      • 10 Years
