As mentioned last week, www.playon.co.uk, our featured weekly Fantasy Football game, is offering a huge £5,000 prize pot for Gameweek 4. They’ve offered to increase the prize pot to £5,000 if their “£1,000 Guaranteed” game reaches 500 entries by 5pm tomorrow (Friday) – entry into the game is £5.

If you’ve yet to try out PlayON, this is a good opportunity to suss it out. PlayON is London based and is licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. You only need to register a provisional team of XI and enter the game by 5pm tomorrow – your lineup can be tweaked right up to 10 minutes before the first kick-off on Saturday, when United entertain Palace at 12.45pm.

If you’re new to the game, you’ll find our full strategy guide right here, offering tips that we’ve gathered along the way. We’ll also be following up with specific player picks for Gameweek 4 tomorrow at lunchtime.

Be sure to spread the word on this to help fill up the game and ensure that PlayON deliver the £5,000 prize fund. Remember – there needs to be 500 players in the “£1,000 Guaranteed” game by Friday at 5pm for the pot to be boosted.

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

    Providing he stays clear from injury, i honestly believe HBA could be the real 'gem' at the moment, and here's my reason....

    He's had ok returns in the past 2seasons in a pretty average team if we're honest - and to top it off, in the 3years hes been in the EPL he's never played more than half a season because of injury.

    Hi guys, considering wildcarding to ride out favourable fixtures for Spurs, Arsenal, United, Liverpool..

    Considering wholesale changes to accommodate Özil and more importantly Giroud/Benteke alongside shaking up the bench; Ramage and Marshall injured. Wenger has stated "there is a chance he starts", he played both Germany games, had a full pre-season with Real and a La Liga appearance so I'm thinking he will. Current team is -

    Vorm

    Coleman Nastasic Collins

    Hazard (75%) Coutinho Mirallas Walcott

    Dzeko Soldado Sturridge (75%)

    Bench - Marshall GK
    Turner & Ramage DEF
    Kim MID

    What's your thoughts on the current team guys, I currently have a free transfer as well. Dying to get Evra in with Uniteds 4 home games in 5 coming up..

    last time people lost faith in rvp was when he was approx 14m. Just before the dgw he hadn't scored and was getting 2's. People said he was on a bad run of form, they went rooney.

    DGW - rvp re-pays the faith whilst doubters cry their eyes out and come back with their tales between their legs.

    Some still claim rvp is over-priced at 14m and say they will stick with the power 5. RVP puts the final nail in the coffin to these doubters with a hat-trick v villa.

      No doubt, he's the best finisher in the league. My doubts lie in the other players Moyes is picking. Why is Giggs playing every week? Where is Kagawa? Why didn't they buy Ozil?
      Can RVP possibly outperform his price tag this year?

      both very credible options although service thus far to soldado has been dire and its the type of fixture spurs more often than not disappoint in.. home to a mid table team they are expected to rollover more often than not they get shafted.. on the other hand villa are looking brilliant so far creating plenty and benteke can do no wrong

    Would Zabaleta to Vidic/Evra be smart considering united has easier fixtures after City?

      If you have no other pushing issues and can do it for free then, yes. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

    I need another 3 double risers to make my perfect team. Yaya will be one. So annoyed Sturridge got so close then failed. Brady might be another? And Jose Enrique the other? Do you reckon these three will happen?

      Yaya - yes
      Sturridge - maybe, his yellow flag stopped him from already.
      Enrique - no
      Brady - no
