With the title race back on, we turn to five Premier League encounters to keep the Gameweek rolling, before Manchester City look to maintain the Chelsea chase with three points against Everton at the Etihad.

Fantasy managers will be concentrating their attention on two venues in particular, with QPR hosting fellow strugglers Burnley at Loftus Road, whilst Arsenal and Alexis Sanchez pay visit to the Britannia to take on Stoke.

Sanchez is undoubtedly the most popular asset on show before Sergio Aguero takes to the turf this evening, as the Chilean looks to extend his run of seven goals in as many league outings. The Gunners are also chasing a third straight clean sheet, although Mark Hughes’ Potters are unlikely to give them an easy ride – the big team news from the Britannia is that Olivier Giroud earns a recall, with Danny Welbeck benched.

As for QPR, Charlie Austin will be carrying the hopes of both Harry Redknapp and a horde of Fantasy managers as he looks to continue a rich vein of scoring form when the Clarets pay visit. Danny Ings will be one to watch for the visitors in a battle of the budget strikers down at Shepherds Bush.

Elsewhere this afternoon, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen take increased ownership into the White Hart Lane encounter with Crystal Palace, whilst at Anfield, Liverpool (with Steven Gerrard benched again) will look to build on the 3-1 midweek win over Leicester with another three points against visiting Sunderland. Hull City’s Humberside date with West Brom rounds off the day’s offerings, before we take the trip to Manchester to catch the latest episode of the Aguero show.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    i'm looking in the top 25 and some didn't captain aguero... what in the hell?

    1. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      The common problem of trying to take punts which likely push u further from ur goals

    2. 1314

      they must be having alot guts to get to that rank.

    Costa captainers,Hazard, Chambers,Chelsea defense. Looks like it will be a bad week for those who did well in the last 2-3 GWs.

    1. Crouching Tiger
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. 9 from 6 now, had 86 (-4) last week.

  3. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero injury now I reckon

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Round things off nicely

      1. Guidinho
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Been that kind of week

    2. Epic Fail

      After his hat trick

    3. 1314

      that's mean .

    4. Chris_White

      😆 Wouldn't surprise me

    5. Podge
      • 15 Years

      Probably

    6. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      brace i think if we could bet in the states

    7. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Unless he gets a red first

    8. Willos Wanderers
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      That would be the icing on the cake. Currently have Taylor, Hutton and Siggy on bench so Fab, Austin and Chambers not a total train wreck...

    9. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'd be fine with that. He's threatening to make the game boring.

  4. 1314
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Boyd or Jedinak ?

    1. Azathoth
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Jedinak until he leaves for the Asian Cup.

  5. Crouching Tiger

    RP

    Is this team passable for next week?

    Panti
    Baines. Clyne. Hutton. Wisdom
    Sanchez. Siggy. Downing
    Aguero. Costa. Bony

    Subs. Elliott. Yun. Marney. Fabregas.

    1. Tatty Bojangles
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      More than passable.

  7. Fplnooob
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    lads i have fab/austin + 2ft....who should i be getting rid of?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Both.

      1. Fplnooob
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        wasn't expecting to hear that...also i have krul/elliot so I'm stuffed no matter what

    2. Guidinho
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Neither. Austin has plum fixtures after and Fabs is Fabs. Cheaper and more reliable than Costa.

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

      i might do austin to ings or berahino for a one week punt then get him back. i have 2FTs saved though

    4. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely not both. I'd hold Fabregas myself, and perhaps look for someone with a good fixture in the next couple for Austin. Sakho if he does well tomorrow?

      Reply fail from last page!

      1. AIRMILES
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        oh right

    2. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      What? They're playing with a back 5, right?

  9. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Well my excuse to bench Austin has come. The universe didn't have to give him a red card though!

  10. Mr. Perfectionist
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    How are the special owners of Austin & Chambers feeling?! 😆

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Special

    2. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Chambers? Needs to go asap. Austin? A goal and a week off away to Everton, not too bad really

      1. BuK II
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        He wouldn't have done anything v Everton anyway. Good excuse get a 5th mid to cover.

    3. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Don't own Chambers, but pretty happy with Austin. Shame about the red card but might've benched anyways next GW. Highest scoring player this GW for me, so far.

    4. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'm feeling your mum.

      1. Mr. Perfectionist
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Hey I have them too 😎

    5. Zombie
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Saving my FT next week. Playing Clyne & Wanyama and benching both of the fallen ones 😎

    6. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Good as it happens: 6 points and an opportunity to swap Austin for Costa with CC benched.

      1. AIRMILES
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        careful, he might not come back now that debuchy is close to returning

  11. flippetyflop
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Good time to do Fabregas to Hazard??

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Think I will. Hull at home after an away loss - too much to risk - will be a rout.

  12. Wishdom Teeth
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I am not concerned about points but I have chambers, austin, Fab in my team. I also have dawson of wba who didn't play today. A total f**ked up situation of my team . Dont know what to do

  13. Billy Bonney
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Who else will be without the services of Austin, Chambers, and Fabregas next week??

    1. getfunky
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      me but austin wouldve been benched anyway & the players coming in have good fixtures, it couldve been an awful lot worse

    2. Tatty Bojangles
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      QPR, Arsenal and Chelsea.

    3. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      o/

    4. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Me but 2 free trades which will likely be Jediknight and Costa for Fabs and Austin.

  14. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Everton playing 5 defenders...

    Coleman now OOP? or Hibbernator on Aguero?

    Hmn.

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Guessing the former - Barkley benched.

  15. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    So Austin makes it easier for me to get a good 5th mid and bench him. Blessing in disguise maybe.

    1. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      boydinho

    2. money face bandwagon

      Totally agree.

  16. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Anybody worse than 12 points from 8?

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Ouch.

      1. Fplnooob
        • 12 Years

        33 from 8 + kun (C), baines, siggy 😀

          • 13 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          He asked is there anyone worse?
          Idiot

          1. Fplnooob
            • 12 Years

            are you mad?

      Just a bad gw. U will have a better one soon

    3. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      8 x 2 pointers would beat that!

  17. 50 Shades Oshea

    is chambers banned for two?

    oshea for chambers or duff?

    yay or nay?

  18. slurzy
    • 11 Years

    Opinions on Jenkinson, Reid or Tomkins?

    West Ham defenders look tasty

    1. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Tomkins 4 yellow.
      Jenkinson is matching Cresswells stats. Go for him

      1. slurzy
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Excellent, cheers mate

    2. Jax

      can't see them keeping a cleanie v sunderland

      1. slurzy
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Better than having a suspended player though!

    Mourinho: ‘The best team lost, the team that tried to win lost, but that’s football.'

    After his tactics last season 😯 ?? This guy is unbelievable

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Was it true though? I didn't watch.

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Hard to say.

        Personally I thought Chelsea attacked a lot more and put a hell of a lot more pressure on, Newcastle defended like champs and caught them with a couple of attacks. There were two separate periods of about 5 or 10 minutes when Newcastle bossed the game and were going at them but aside from that I thought it was largely Chelsea doing the real attacking.

        With that said, they didn't show much grit or determination so maybe that factors into who the best team was?

      2. Zombie
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Can't say exactly. But I am sure no one would expect Newcastle to play like a dream team

    2. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I know. utter c**t.

    3. mgilbert86

      pot kettle black

    4. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, well, Newcastle doesn't have 30 million pound players in their team. They better be the best team having splashed out that cash.

    5. JJO
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Idiot
      Not even true
      They were better only for first 30min

  21. Stretford End

    All I can say is the average better be 5 or I've a red arrow

    1. Epic Fail

      😀

  22. nikobg
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    So Chelsea are losing 2-1, but Fab still gets 2 baps for his assist despite yellow card? That stinks!

  23. leo_messi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Austin,Chambers and Fabregas will miss only 1 game or more??? I have all of them 🙁

    1. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      chambers should miss two

  24. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    If Chambers is anywhere near Arsenal's team after his ban it speaks volumes for their lack of depth in defence

  25. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    How different things would've been if Santi hadn't of grabbed the ball off Sanchez, eh? Shame, that.

  26. HP.
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Does Austin have a chance of getting baps?

    1. Jax

      red carded

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years

        everyone listen to this man

  30. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Looking at Chambers, Welbeck out - Kompany, Kane in. What do you think?

    1. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Kompany has question marks over fitness, and Kane looked knackered today. Otherwise good choies.
