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 owners fear not, he will be amongst the points all season, especially over the next 6 weeks & he's 100% nailed and plays 90 mins every week. I really wouldn't swap him for another liverpool mid, but I will be doubling up.

    Bonus points for

    Coutinho
    Aguero

    Anyone?

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years

      3 n 1

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Coutinho 1

      Kun might scrape 3.

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Something to cheer about. Where can I check all this?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Click on any fixture on the FPL site and it tells you the highest bps scorers.

  3. JackG55

    Ibra > Aguero before price rise?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Do it last week.

    2. The Donald
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      yes

    3. kapulasta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If thats the only reasonable way

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

    Seamus Coleman's on for 3 bonus after losing 1-0 😯

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

      I have sent an e-mail to Donald Trump asking him to sue FPL for this injustice. Waiting...

      1. The Donald
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I received no such email, but i'll look into it

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

          I assure you, I sent it, and it was the best e-mail with the best words. Very convincing. You will act because it is so convincing. You really couldn't argue with it, even if you wanted to, because it very convincing. You are assured. It is the best option for a law suit right now. It is who should be sued and it is right to do it. It will be good for everyone concerned. FPL will be greatful that you sued them. They're going to thank you. It is just that good. We're going to be winning winning winning.

    How many players do people have tomorrow? For most I assume Antonio + Capoue?

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

      Capoue,Redmond and Deeney

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

      Payet

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

      Yeah

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

      Deeney & Antonio

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

    Thoughts on this move-

    Firmino Puncheon -> Milner Son(-4)

    Maybe knee jerky but at the very least I get some rises and don't have to cheer on that troll Firmino.

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

      Bonkers

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nope

  7. Heels_Over_Head

    9 years, 2 months ago

          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          1. Lecky Legs FC
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah Mane is essential for FPL & for us was pure class & Lallana too.

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

    Today made me realise you need to be patient with your picks and trust them.

    Afterall, all it takes is one great week and your suddenly very close to where you want to be

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

    Hey guys i have figured it out, just get 3 Liverpool mids and bench the blanking one each week, easy isnt it?

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

      And play 5 defenders the weeks Liverpool dont turn up

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

    What's a good score for non Kun owners this week? 🙁

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

      patience

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

        Right.He's in this week

  15. The Donald
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero is essential no way around it

  16. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Is Rashford fixture proof ?

    STO liv che in next 3. not the best of fixtures

    But remember he scored against arsenal and city last season

    1. Magic Man
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Troy Deeney mate

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

      not the best defences.

  17. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    45 with antonio and holebas to go, could be worse

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

    Best Stones replacement? Nobody really stands out...

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

      Williams probably

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

        Not convinced by Everton defence, only Coleman appeals but he's too expensive

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

    De Bruyne > Coutinho ?

  20. Magic Man
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    49 with Holebas Antonio Sanchez and Deeney - nice 😀

  21. Big Red Dog
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    How long do we expect De Bruyne out?

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

      For ever on my team, think this game just proved that when kun is in, kdb should be out of your fpl

  22. woody3260
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Walcott essential following this game..

  23. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Benteke owners, what to do with him?
    Got him in wc gw 4: 7-2-6, not bad but will he keep scoring lucky points? Rashford, Janssen Deeney knocking

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

      Get rid

    2. Norfolk&Chance
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      im keeping - nxt fixture doesnt seem so bad after today's performance from everton.

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

      If anything he's been unlucky not to be involved more.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        really? I have not watched Palace game, have you?

    4. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      think i'll get Rashford

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

      Dunno. Prob keep & save Transfer.

    6. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Keep. He getting plenty of crosses. Much needed cheaper forward.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers Jafa
        Seeing Whoscored, he has 5 shots today!

        1. OPTA FPL
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          8

    7. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Apparently he was lively all game, so not entirely bad. I'm an owner too and might keep for now

    8. Ste Wilkinson
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I got rid of him 1 minute before he scored for Rashford. I've made money on him and I don't think he's going to get lions share of goals for palace.

  24. Jasoooooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Is it crazy to consider Milner??

  25. Pinky and Brain
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Coleman with 3 bonus in 1-0 defeat?!

    1. ***00tennis***
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      yeah he attacked whole game=BAPS

  26. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Ibra + Snoddy > Rashford + Sterling -4?

    Or

    Benteke > Rashford ?

  27. Viper
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    50 inc. bonus with Sanchez, Antonio & hopefully Holebas to play.

    How have you other wildcarders got on?

    1. Net Gains
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Wow, good job. I'm on 53 with 4 left so quite similar.
