With the impact of Sergio Aguero’s four-goal blast reverberating around the Fantasy Football community, we shift to the three o’clock kick-offs and await further points hauls.

How ironic that, on the day that Ageuro would draw level in the race for the Golden Boot, nine-goal Diego Costa is conspicuous by his absence. This time around the talk of injury concerns rang true as the Chelsea hitman is forced to sit out his side’s trip to Palace, triggering the Fantasy Premier League vice captain for many; for some, that meant that Aguero was on hand to sweeten the pill.

While Chelsea attempt to get by without their clinical striker, elsewhere, Fantasy managers will be monitoring events at the Emirates, Goodison and St Mary’s in anticipation of points.

Arsenal, with Danny Welbeck leading the line and Aaron Ramsey back on the bench, face a free-scoring Hull side in a clash that looks set to promise goals. On Merseyside, the Leighton Baines bandwagon prepares to start its motors when Villa pay visit, while down on the south coast, the likes of Graziano Pelle and Dusan Tadic will have the opportunity to boost their stock with the visit of Sunderland.

West Ham’s trip to Turf Moor and Leicester’s visit to Newcastle round off this afternoon’s action, with no late kick-off to see us out.
