Gameweek 2 begins in south Wales, with Swansea City hosting early league leaders Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho’s side claim that position following Sunday’s 4-0 demolition of West Ham United – their biggest opening weekend victory since 2006 (5-1 vs Fulham).

In contrast, Swansea will play host having battled to a 0-0 stalemate at Southampton; a game which saw them muster just four shots on goal to the Saints’ 29.

However, Paul Clement’s side are unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches – winning four and drawing two – and are on the verge of a club record if they can possibly avoid defeat today.

Goals may be hard to come by for the home side who are without the departed Gylfi Sigurdsson and last season’s leading scorer, Fernando Llorente. That pair contributed 53% of Swansea’s goals last season.

United will look to Romelu Lukaku for their goals.

Backed by his growing Fantasy ownership – which now accounts for 53.5% of FPL managers – the Belgian will look to build on last weekend’s brace against the Hammers.

However, his record against Swansea is far from convincing. He has claimed just three goals in 11 appearances against the Welshmen and has failed to score against them in his last six outings.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Frees me up to do Daniels to Bailly if he gets the 15 pointer...

    Who assisted Bailly?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Pogba

  4. Make United Great Again

      • 11 Years

      It's almost like you've seen a game of football before?

    Racist commentator. Said Lukaku was involved.

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Don't do that.

    2. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      His presence on the pitch is enough. King Romelu.

  6. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I'm a sheep. Why did I buy Mkhitaryan and captain Lukaku?

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Will end 3-0... plenty of time.

      1. Gazpilicueta
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I think 4-0 again

        1. DeathoftheParty
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Don't understand the lack of calm on here at times. I've captained Lukaku... theres plenty of time.

        2. DeathoftheParty
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          ^ this guy though...

  7. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    So glad I picked Bailly as premium defender ahead of Kolisanic or Kompany

  8. InSaneMan-e
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Utd went in 1-0 at the break last week too...
    Surely this bodes very well for lukaku and mkhi

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yep, I think so

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Clear pogba assist

    Looks a threat over micky

  10. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Pole Pogbar. Better love story than Twilight.

  11. DR0GBA
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I think ill retire if Pogba isn't awarded that assist

  12. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    3 deflections - no Pogba asist ?

  13. Waxys
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    No Pogba assist guys

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      It will be given. Clear as day. I'm not even an owner.

      1. Waxys
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I checked my usual source that lists goals and assists and just bailley gosl listed

    2. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      "If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded"

      No Pogba assist for sure.

  14. TheBusDriver

    "Baily has no goal threat" "Hegazi has no goal threat". FFS knows nothing.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Don't think anyone said that about Hegazi

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I did 😉

    2. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      There was some clown on here last season bagging Aguero every week too.

    3. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Well, to be honest, that was hegazi's first ever goal last week. So he had no record of ever scoring a goal.

      1. Norb
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Same for Bailly

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      You know nothing.

  15. Waxys
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years

      No

      1. Waxys
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Then why does it say so?

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

  16. Football Heaven

    8 years, 4 months ago

    I know Pogba got the assist but who took the corner?

    1. The Iron Tulip
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Mata

      1. dark91
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Didn't know Mata was left footed !!!

      2. Football Heaven
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Damn I've got Pogba and mata!

      Are you Blind?

      1. Football Heaven
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I can't tell if that's a play on words or a genuine concern. I wasn't paying attention but the replays didn't properly show who took it.

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Looked like Blind mate.

  20. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Does Rashford know there's something called passing?

    1. Waxys
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He's so greedy to score lol.

      Takes shots whenever he can despite their being more opportunities elsewhere

  22. Slartibartfast
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Mata off, Herrera on at HT for me.

  23. Xhaka Kahn't
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    It's so nervy being a Lukaku non-captainer I think I'm just going to pick him next time.

  24. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    People think Pogba wont get the assist with that ownership? LOOOL

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Why would it not be an assist?
