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.
ï‚·
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.

    FPL site down for good. From now on keep track of your points with pen and paper. Roll the dice to determine bonus points (that's how they do it anyways!)

    Odds on Huddersfield to beat Newcastle 6-0 and be top of the table tonight?

    1. Dušan Citizen

      Interesting as they play tomorrow.

      1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000/1.

    3. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years

      They don't play until tomorrow so I'll give you 10000000000/1

    4. Natopotato88

      Pretty high with the Aussie champ Mooy going to have a hat trick

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      You've had a nightmare here in fairness

  4. Weeb Kakashi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Salah won't move out of the bench!
    Trust me

    Can Origi and Solanke can!

  5. Natopotato88
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Salah benched and don't have him and Milner named in midfield, doing pretty well especially with Pogba and kaku

  6. Texas Pete
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    'The game is being updated'

    Apparently

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

    FPL sure down to update Pogba's price by 1m

      Scenes when you'll finally shut up

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

    Think I have an easy transfer for next week: JWP ----->Pogba for free

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Very nice, I'm 0.5 off and am looking for a way to solve that now.

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

        Shave your defence:) Was looking at Eriksen in for Willian before the round, but with Pogba om fire and JWP benched, it is an easy descision

  9. gunnerboy
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    All of you biatching about Salah being benched. It will be Mane and Firmino's turns to be benched next so stop crying.

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

      Is he on the bench? Reading the comments on here I thought he was a no show and they were getting Tarroll off the bench.

    2. More Tragic
      • 10 Years

      lol

      Salty much

      • 16 Years

      Some of us have captained him.

      1. Donnie Brasco´s
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        S.... happens.
        Maybe you will have a litle luck if Salah stay on Bench.
        Who is your VC?
        Stay positive....

    6. zizoo10
      • 10 Years

      bhaha get rekt scrub

    7. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I agree with this. Firmino probably will be benched next week. I own Firmino too. Hopefully Firmino gets a goal and is taken off at 70 mins. So he starts in the CL and next week.

    8. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years

      Looks like Pool reporter Paul Joyce had it all wrong

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

        Yep, last time I'm ever listening to him.

  10. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Already have Mkhi+Lukaku

    KDB+Jesus ->Pogba+Kane done

    1. Roberto Baggio
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      How? The site is down

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

      Should have done Kaku > Kane

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

    Pogba or Mhiki?

  12. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Pogba is not gonna rise like crazy compared to mkhi. Significantly higher ownership and therefore needs many more new owners to rise

  13. mvtaylor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    What's more on fire? Pogab or FPL servers?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Will grigg

  14. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    That Zaha > Mhki transfer has paid off

    2. diesel001

  16. Trovsmash

    Draft is saying mkhit got 0 assists..? what

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

      His assists took deflections

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

        I'm just pulling your leg..

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

      draft is daft

  17. GreenArrows
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    KDB + Salah to Pogba and Mkhi on the cards, feel like I'm knee jerking though

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

      lol

  18. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Just woke up FPL down

    Was on Salah then Kaku but finally Jesus 🙂

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

      Pogba, 2x Mhki.

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      2 mkhi, 2 pogba

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Thanks

  19. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    As a Utd fan I might have to cut out the league table and frame it.

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

      Do that might give you some consolation as things turn pear shaped 🙂

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        That's the fear, aye.

  20. IRBOX âš½
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    JWP on bench is rather annoying

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

    I might get rid of Lukaku for Pogba

    Lukaku really is a gash footballer

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

      I don't think you can replace Lukaku with just one mid. Kinda like Kane, replace him but double up on mids.

  22. Sahil Yadav
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Think Pool gonna be this year's City

  23. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    So basically in my draft team I transfered out Bailly yesterday to bring TAA in. You can all laugh at me now.

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

      Ha

  24. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Will Jones hold onto 2 BPS?

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

      Jones is on 2 Baps???? Oh my god! Yessss

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No chance

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      expects so defenders BAP'S are more likely to go up than down.

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

        🙂

    4. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He never had them...

    5. Sz21
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      1 BP is what I see..

  25. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    KDB > Pogba or wait.

    1. Donnie Brasco´s
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Wait, you have enough money....

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      This is the dilemma

  26. DoobNoob
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Got Jones, Mkhi and Lukaku... But want Pogba... What do I do?

    A) Jones out, Pogba in
    B) Mkhi out, Pogba in
    C) No Pogba

    1. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      c - too sideways
      HOLD

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

      No Pog. He'll regress faster than Mhki.

    3. Roberto Baggio
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      C

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

      C

  27. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    RCL playing 10 - might bring him in for JWP ? thoughts

  28. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    assuming mkhi gets 1 bap

    22(-4) from kaku(c) and mkhi. happy with that although pogba did some damage

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      You captained kaku after all that....

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

        needed something in case he failed

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

          Lol your a joke

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Thought you were supposed to not play this season?

      Everything you post is utter bee-s

  29. stachman
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Tekkers anyone?

    1. Wolf of Wolverhampton
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Hell yeas!
      Hope he scores a brace against his former club!!

  30. cheeky_ash
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Jones owner here....with 2CS so far ....is he nailed?

    Lindelof, Smalling et al in the background still makes me nervous

    1. TFP
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Not nailed at all, not least because of his tendency to pick up injuries. Great value for in the very short term though.

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

      if utd won 1-0 he would be on 2 bps. played really well.

    3. DoobNoob
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He is nailed short term, especially playing how he is. I would say he will start at least until november time
