Next up this Saturday, there are five 3pm kick-offs to keep us entertained.

Burnley welcome Liverpool to Turf Moor as Philippe Coutinho looks to add to the two-goal haul that earned him in excess of 400,000 Fantasy Premier League transfers in last week. Sadio Mane misses out for the Merseysiders with a shoulder problem, allowing Daniel Sturridge to return to the XI. James Milner comes in for Alberto Moreno at left-back.

Swansea host Hull at the Liberty, with both sides hoping to build on Gameweek 1 victories. This one looks like being a battle of the dead-ball specialists – Gylfi Sigurdsson returns to the Swans’ XI, though the Tigers have a form playmaker of their own, after Robert Snodgrass fired home the winner against Leicester last Saturday lunchtime.

Harry Kane owners will be anxiously hoping he can banish his poor run of form without Mousa Dembele in the Spurs XI as Palace roll up to the Lane. Those holding Dele Alli have been dealt a bitter blow after he dropped to the bench to accomomodate new boy Vincent Jansssen.

Chelsea’s trip to Vicarage Road give Eden Hazard another opportunity to stake a claim for a place in our squads. With spot-kick duties back on side, another strong showing against Watford could make the Belgian irresistible. Willian misses out with a calf complaint for the Blues, allowing Pedro to start on the right.

At the Hawthorns, Tony Pulis has rolled out an unchanged XI for the visit of Everton. Ronald Koeman has named new boys Ashley Williams and Yannick Bolasie on the bench, with Romelu Lukaku also amongst the subs after shrugging off a heel problem.

    Hey all some quick advice to help me decide on a transfer later this gw?

    Obviously depending on how this gw ends first, and assuming everyone comes out unscathed, which duo would you prefer from the following considering the next few gw's:

    A - Hazard and Barkley, or
    B - Sanchez and Lamela?

    It's a forced transfer so need some help please. Thanks. 🙂

    1. ChelseaMaestro
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Probably Sanchez and Lamela cause Sanchez seems to be playing as a no.9 so expect a lot of goals and Lamela is looking like one of the best steals of the season

    Is there any iPhone app or extension that will let you look at league tables up to date?

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yes for phoned

  11. Serendipity
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Which of these 8.5's would you let go of first... Eriksen or Firmino? Eriksen with better fixtures but didn't go the 90 mins today...

    Free GW / overall predicted rank site. Fpl discovery does not have intermediate results yet and football fix is charging.

    Is there any iPhone app that updated mini league tables live like on Greasemonkey?

  14. Kalou

    How's everyone doing so far? 134 for 2 gws.Nobody left to play here!

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      137

  15. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is it bonkers to do Alli and Deulofeu to Barkley and Lamela?

    1. Muffinz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No use in having players who don't play. And even if Alli would, he looked really invisible against everton while Lamela looked dangerous both then and today.

    Hey guys, this is my current team:

    Foster Jakupovic
    Stones Shaw van Aanholt Friend Amat
    Hazard Redmond Firmino Eriksen Fletcher
    Aguero Vardy Gray

    I have 0.5m in the bank and want to bring Ibrahimovic IN and to get rid off Vardy.

    But there's a problem -- I need to free at least 1.1m. So, who I need to sell (instead of Vardy)?

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Eriksen to Lamela, Firmino to Barkley

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        It'll cost me -4pts. Is it worth? Thanks!!!

        1. FISSH
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          yep

            Thanks again, mate.

    Is it worth doing Watson --> Capoue before he rises if I've got 2FT and no pressing issues?

    Only issue is still have c.wilson to play tomorrow and if he doesn't score I would probably transfer him out...

  18. Wurstmuncher
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Can't believe Tadic has dropped 0.1, his stats are up with the best performers

  19. Wurstmuncher
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What do people think of Nolito, lack of game time is a bit of a worry but looking at his scoring history over past seasons he looks like a consistant performer

  20. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    ICT stats for mids for the season so far (top 5)...so far...

    Threat

    Tadic 75
    Redmond 73
    Mane 65
    Mahrez 58
    Lala 57

    Creativity

    Tadic 134
    Redmond 78
    Gardener 75
    Routledge 55
    Willian 52

    Tadic with numbers that will rival Payet and Ozil.

    Rolled last week's transfer and shipped VVD for Collins due to West Ham fixtures and to free up the cash to swap Gray for Benteke....however, with Burnely playing Hull after Chelsea, im thinking it might be worth keeping Gray for a while longer....although Benteke will be dying to start scoring goals again and Palace fixtures are looking very tasty....decisions decisions....

    Stick with Gray or make the swap ?

  22. YuvalFPL

    Who's more likely to start longer-term, Holding, Chambers or neither. If neither, who should take their place?

    1. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years
