The first of two Sunday afternoon matches gets underway at 2.15pm as West Bromwich Albion welcome Manchester United to The Hawthorns.

Back on the scoresheet in the midweek win over Bournemouth, Romelu Lukaku is the second top captain pick for Gameweek 18, handed the armband by 14.9% of Fantasy Premier League managers.

Jesse Lingard continues in the visitors’ starting XI and remains an overlooked midfield option – priced at 5.9 and owned by just 2%, he’s produced 12 and 15 points in his last two on the road.

Although the arrival of Alan Pardew has instilled some resilience to the Baggies’ backline – they’ve conceded just one goal in three – the midlands outfit remain toothless in attack and have yet to find the net under their new manager.

That lack of cutting edge bodes well for David de Gea’s 43% owners, then, as the Spaniard looks to steer his side to an eleventh clean sheet of the season.

Jose Mourinho also retains Phil Jones on the teamsheet today – nine of their 10 clean sheets have came in the 12 matches that the former Blackburn man has started this season.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I fear for Lingards game time.. Maureen loves subbing him

    1. Rainer

      75 minutes is enough for a 5.9m attacking United player.

      As long as Pogba comes back in for Herrera.

    2. Shaw must go on

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      57 is a very decent score at this stage

    3. Sloopy

      I would trade within a second (37 point with only Salah tot go)!

  6. Ambrosiana Inter

    Need martial to come in and get 1 point so it will lock Rooney on bench for my cup opponent and I 'll be through

    The whole of my bench has scored points. Schoolboy errors. Not sure why I didn't play Lingard over Son. For some reason it never entered my head.

    1. Gt1996
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Ive benched 26 points...

      1. The Wizard of Ozil

        Owch

        I was never going to bench Otamendi but the others were mistakes.

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 13 days ago

          I think Son is too threatening to bench, Granville. It was the right move. And it's not like City couldn't have been breached.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Captain Hindsight strikes again. I'm pretty sure nearly everyone in the world would have played Son over Lingard.

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        Do you think? It never entered my head because of the prices so I never made the assessment

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Don't you get Tarkowski points when Mariappa gets subbed ?

      1. Granville

        Very funny.

      Granville don't feel bad. I too benched Lindgard... for shaqiri. Don't know what possessed me lol Lost dunk 8pts to otamendi .

  16. Rainer

    DDG well in the BAP race now

  17. Fred54

    How many people held Jones throughout his lay off?

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      I made an Executive Decision to Hold Jones thru his tough times

      He has really really delivered for me!

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Yup, me

    3. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      I sold him for Ota, so got near enough the same points back, but certainly a waste of a transfer when he could have sat on the bench, especially with a 9 and 6*.

  18. Shultan

    Rank killing game!
    No utd defence
    & kaku scoring
    Salah haul going to kill my rank

  19. diesel001

    DDG on BAPS!

  20. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    Which move with 2FT?

    a) Cout to Silva
    b) Cout Kane to KDB Lukaku

  21. Please Help I Don't Kn…

    Looks like I'm gonna be nocked out of the cup by a dead team 🙁

    1. Frozen flying mammoth
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      I thought that too, needed Lukaku and Coutinho to get 6 more than de Gea, Abraham and Mane. Lukaku scoring and Mane being dropped could save me.

  22. drughi
    • 16 Years

    DDG on 1 bonus point as for now

  23. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Save point for DDG?

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      And potential Bap

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Yep! Love being a casual DDG owner

  24. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    A) Pope and Kola to DDG and Masuaku
    B) Keep playing Pope. Kiko and Kola to Masuaku and Smalling or Jones

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    If DDG could steal Kaku's baps here it would be epic

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Ah balls

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    If w brom score I promise to go absolutely nuts

  27. Rash
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    Lukaku or lingard with a few shots off target to help DDG climb the baps

  28. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Martial on, RIP my Mee bench points 🙁

    1. arndff_
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Don't regret about it, 'cause that was the right thing to do in your situation. Just looked at your team, so I can say your setup was OK for current GW.

      Pope in goal -> Mee was benched for a reason. Spreading the points in an away game is the right thing to do imho.

      Cheers! 😉
