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.

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

    Hmm the selfish player that wouldn't pass is gone and everyone improved.

    Happened at West Ham too

    Martial > Trashford

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

      The subs with 2 holding and mhki wide has transformed utd here.

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Nah just wore them down and Swans had to go for it

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

          No real width as an option till fell and martial...

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

    Salah to pogba or Micky?

  22. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Who got the last 2 goals and assist?

    1. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Pogba and Martial; Mhki and Pog assists.

  23. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    C'mon troll bag a hatty....

  24. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Those 8 million Man Utd midfielders are essential

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

    To be fair. Mhki playing wide after those subs has changed this. I understand he wants to play in the number ten, but in the prem he gives a much better option for serious damage.

    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Got Pogba & Lukaku already...but feel Mkhitaryan may also be worth getting in. Overkill?

    1. o0Ash
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      If you think they'll all keep getting points, why not?

      1. CC22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        True. All depends if they keep scoring 3/4 a game though really!
