In the final Premier League match of the day, Manchester United host West Ham United at Old Trafford.

Kick-off is at 16:15 GMT.

Erik ten Hag makes four changes from the side that beat FC Sheriff on Thursday, with Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Anthony Elanga and Marcus Rashford all starting.

That means Cristiano Ronaldo leads the line again, with Elanga and Rashford flanking him.

    Kehrer is rubbish

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    United are too good again.

    Signing Eriksen changed everything!

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Too good a stretch

  9. Patron
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Ok so I have to cry now. Mount to Rashford error transfer. He really had to punish me after so many goalless games…

  10. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Quick question:

    If you’re 1.6m OR now, should you just give up?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Two good weeks and you'll be in top 350k

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Haha I can only dream bro!

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      With that attitude, yes

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It’s hard man, very hard to take with a horrible month

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          It's just a game. Take few days away and don't think about it. Come back for next week. Good luck.

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers Hazz, I seem to be taking a step back every GW though haha. No idea how it’s going so wrong, after WC I hope it can get back to being better

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

      Give up on what?

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        On the game of course

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

          Why? Are you playing for rank or because you enjoy playing?

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Rank/ML’s

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

              Then stop. If you don't enjoy the game, no point playing it even if you're rank 1

              1. RICICLE
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                I guess so

    4. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Take chances on differentials is the only way

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        So much harder, like swimming upstream

    5. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No. I'm 1.6m as well and hopefully still get up to about 50k by the end

    6. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not for that reason. Are you still enjoying playing the game? Would you enjoy doing something else more? Same questions apply whether you’re rank 1 or 1.6m

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Not enjoyed the game for a long while

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Why play then?

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Habit I suppose and the chase of rivals is quite joyful

    7. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The ranks are realy tight this year! If go on live fpl can have a look yourself so no wouldn't give up, just set yourself little targets & rembet got a lot double GWs & chips etc still to play

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I check live FPL and they are really tight still like you say. It’s just so hard now is all, great team, but left each week with nothing and rivals running away. Just a joke.

        A lot have wasted their FH’s though, and triple captains, so hoping to make up big ground there when double’s arrive!

    8. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I am 1.6 million and just took a 12 point hit to bring in Rashford, Almiron, Kane and Wilson 😆

      Who cares in the end, yes it’s a fun past time for us but playing FPL for points is just as random as putting money on an accumulator and hoping to do well. Far too many variables, random outcomes and bad luck to factor in to take it to heart. Just a game at the end of the day, treat it that way.

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I guess I was 1.6 million overall.... 😆

      2. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers man, just not used to doing this badly for something I’m passionate about.

      3. Firminooooo
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Good transfers this GW. You got your points back.

    9. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yep

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          No probs

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Nice one

    10. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nah, never give up! I was 2.4M last week and I'm currently 784K right now. Try your best and enjoy the football for what it is, a beautiful game! I aim to beat my personal best each year, and also to put my boots to my mini leagues – hard! 😉

    11. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I was 1.8m at the start of this week, I said to myself I want to be in top 1m when Fpl breaks for the World Cup. Just take 1 week at a time

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sorted, my aim was just to get inside too 1m before the break but I dunno if that will happen now.

    12. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Just make 100k your goal for the end of the season and have fun

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers Deulofail! Hope not starts to get better soon.

    13. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      At that OR, you can have some hefty green arrows, if you stick at it.

      Don't really get the 'give up' attitude, you hear a fair bit around here. Obviously, if it's affecting your life significantly, then knock it on the head. Only a game, not worth getting down about it.

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sage advice there cheers man. I’ll surely stick at it and the luck will change at some point, just hard to take when you see rivals running away with points, but as I say above, many have spurned their FH’s already.

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Chips on DGWs will have a big impact this season, I reckon.

          Also. If you do the monster maths... Top 100k, out of 10m, is top 1% Even top 1m, is top 10% Doesn't sound so bad, then 🙂

      2. BeaversWithAttitude
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Right? Never let it stress you out, or let others wind you up! I like to finish at least in the top million or so, that way I can say I'm doing better than 1 in 10 managers. 14 years playing and I have only finished outside of 1 million once. My best is 74,807. I'd never give up. I'm competitive, I enjoy the banter and I love all things football.

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          This was nice to read bro 🙂

    14. FPL_trail_runner
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Thats nothing

      I was 3.6mil a few weeks back and had used WC and free hit

      Im now 700k just by using FT

      So ya you are fine

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks FTR, reassuring stuff this 🙂

  11. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Foden to rashford transfer not happening due to site crash hurts now.

    1. Cake by the pound
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same gutted

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Posted it at the time too in case anyone reckons I'm making it up.

    2. Patron
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      How to get over it, teach me 🙁

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

      I did the same 5 minutes before deadline. Even that is careless tbh. Should be doing it 10-15 minutes before as this happens all the time

      1. Patron
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Did you get him in? For how long was the app down?

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

          Yes, it went through for me. I'm not sure exactly how long it was out, but I refreshed 2 minutes before deadline and it was down. Could've gone down before that

          1. Patron
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Glad for you. Cheers!

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

            It was playing up on the site with ten mins to go!

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Feel your pain. I just got the Foden to Saka transfer in, but when I went to make my Saka to Nelson transfer, I was locked out 🙁

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        🙂

  12. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Juhu, went 700k up so far. Finally a good GW again 🙂

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Well done, I’m having a blinder aswel this week

    2. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Well done

  13. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Toney to Wilson and Saka to Rashford looking no-brainer moves here.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have 2ft. If saka is out then I'm doing that or Wilson and almiron.

  14. BlzE_94
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best GK to own?? (not from City, Arsenal or Newcastle)

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez until the WC maybe

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Take your pick from someone with two home games probably.

      Hammers defensive numbers are good!

    3. Sandy Ravage
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Pickford

  15. Deulofail
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Half-time thoughts on this potential WC team?

    Sanchez (Pickford)
    Cancelo Shaw Estupinan (Cresswell White)
    KDB Rashford Antony Trossard (Xhaka)
    Haaland* Wilson Scamacca

    GW16: Wilson > Darwin (exact cash) & consider BB

    Also interested in Guaita, Gabriel, Zouma, Dawson, Dunk, Dalot (if he's booked today so he's definitely available in GW16), Foden, Iwobi, Nelson (if Saka's out till after World Cup), other Man City players (incl Alvares if Haaland not fit), Mitoma, DCL, Ronaldo

  16. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any of these moves worth a -4? Fed up of owning Zaha.

    Zaha >

    A) Trossard
    B) Rashford/Antony
    C) neither keep Zaha until WC

    Can’t own Almiron as already have Pope, Trippier and Wilson

    1. BrockLanders
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not for -4

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Many thanks!

  17. kellamergh
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Toney's price drop is looking imminent.
    Would Toney to Wilson be the right move for my team?

    Pope
    Trippier Cancelo Dunk
    Zaha Foden Salah Martinelli Andreas
    Haaland Mitrovic

    Iversen N.Williams, Doherty, Wilson

  18. BrockLanders
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bowen & Solanke to Rashford & Wilson has went well for me this week.

    Cheers for all who helped me go with that one.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Stonks!

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

      You're welcome

  19. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    53 points behind in my ML. Surely recoverable?

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Obviously

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You'll need a good strategy

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        True. One or two differentials + the usual suspects per GW might help.

    3. Sandy Ravage
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Easily with a few well picked differentials

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yes! Your display name brings back a lot of happy childhood memories.

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Easily

    5. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      My rival got 50p more than me couple of weeks back and now I have gotten 40p more last couple of weeks. That is nothing at this point of the season and lot of different options excluding Haaland C.

  20. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    My 3 last minute coin toss Foden replacements have all scored!! …

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      After much deliberation I went Ode + Darwin over KDB + Mitro two weeks back. These calls hurt.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah tricky old season! Thankfully Rashy scored as I had to watch Almiron and Martinelli beforehand

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          And has good next two too. If Saka doesn't play, Rashford is the one who replaces him in my team.

  21. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Foden>Rashford last week epic fail. Nailed on essential City attacker scores 2 points, Rashford heading towards 15 maybe. Typical!

  22. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best pick to replace Saka?

    a)Rashford
    b)Maddison
    c)Almiron

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I am going A

    2. sandman58
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      D) Foden....great fixture next week

  23. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Fabianski injured?

  24. sandman58
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How bad did Fabianski injury look?

  25. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    yet ANOTHER major refereeing blunder, how is Scamacca not walking? Doing that while on a YC ffs

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Harsh.

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        premier league this season has seen horrendous decisions each week, I just want to see some accountability

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Just saying that wasn't a horrendous decision.

    2. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Would have been a yellow if want booked. Think it would have been a bit unfair to go off for.

    3. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Never a yellow.

  26. Slitherene
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Saka, Mitrovic -> Foden, Wilson, for a hit?

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Saka ain't dead yet, lol. Hold! Nothing wrong with Foden. Maybe Mitrovic to Wilson. Fulham's fixtures up to WC not too sexy.

      1. BeaversWithAttitude
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Oops, I misread the Foden pick... maybe? Wait for an injury report on Bukayo.

  27. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    That's only chest high vs a regular human.

  28. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Second yellow??

  29. Prinzhorn
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford the best Zaha replacement?

    Already have Salah, Foden, Martinelli and Andreas. (And triple Newcastle so no room for Almironaldo)
