Despite the lack of an early kick-off, Saturday still delivers six Premier League encounters, with five three o’clock clashes followed by Norwich City’s home meet with West Ham this evening. While that match is lacking assets to interest Fantasy managers, this afternoon’s games seem laden with points, particularly at Anfield where Liverpool face lowly Fulham with armbands clasped firmly around the biceps of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.

With Chelsea facing West Brom at the Bridge, the Southampton rearguard up against Hull at St Mary’s and Romelu Lukaku locking horns with the Palace defence, Fantasy managers should be looking at a steady flow of returns from today’s events to take them into Sunday’s big fixtures.

Our Twitter stream is carrying all the latest team news prior to kick-off, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to furnish those who like some real-time reaction.

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

        1. Namtab Nomolos
          • 15 Years
          12 years, 3 months ago

          The 3 ppl ahead of me captaining Suarez is what stings most.

    EVE Bonus pts D-Fence: Baines !?
    Baines only 1 pt vs Coleman 2 pts and Jagielka 3 pts. First time ver Coleman outbeats Baines in BP. Baines premium now is NOT warranted.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐

      Jags is the man to have

    2. Simon March

      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Because he outscored him for one game?

      1. Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        obv not. read btn the lines. Baines has had 20 pts last 6 gw for a price of over 7.6. only cs.

    TFFS

    Thank F... For Suarez.

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Suarez, Aguero, Suarez as captains the last 3 weeks have bailed me out each time.

      1. The Finnisher
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        Likewise. Not sure we can count on them next week though!

        1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
          • 13 Years
          12 years, 3 months ago

          Agreed. In the same position.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 3 months ago

          That is where Rooney comes in.

  5. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Claudio Yacob made that McCauley header possible watching that replay is incredible. Yacob wasn't even looking at the ball. He was hell-bent on stopping the defender marking McCauley! Very Nice tactics!

    1. kanubelieveit
      • 13 Years

      nice to see the dark arts working against Mourinho

  6. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years

    Sakho, Lukaku out
    Pieters, Aguero in

    Sound good

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      That was supposed to be a question

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Sounds good!

    Who posted earlier that Palace v Everton was nailed on to be 0-0, at 20/1?

    Proof of time travel?

      You know what, Arsenal 8-2 United is going to happen mate.

      El Berbossa I think unless another game.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah was El Berbossa. And my reply was "No chance"

    Loving Coleman, Lukaku and Barkley not so much.

    1. Henry Hill
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      You need to get rid of Barkley I think

    Palace fans pulling out another weird chant

    an MLS classic

  11. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    looks lyk my -8 did pay off in some sense

    baines->vlaar

    michu-> hazard

    giroud->ageuro

  12. Plagued by indecision
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    To all fellow non-Suarez owners, let's all hope he gets a red card against Everton.

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Or just get him and hope for more likely events to happen.

      1. Plagued by indecision
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        to be fair, a Suarez red card is not an unlikely event is it?

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 3 months ago

          yes it is.

          Suarez does not actually get sent off a lot

          1. Plagued by indecision
            • 15 Years
            12 years, 3 months ago

            actually you're right. he just tends to do the horrible things that only get punished retrospectively.

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

          Suarez goals are far more likely. Amazingly he hasn't actually been sent off for Liverpool despite all the bans.

    2. The Shadow
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Why don't you just become a Suarez owner?

      1. Plagued by indecision
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        I probably will, but he's got a long trip and a tough game next. We'll see.

    3. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Take your sore throat into your scary new city, have a few drinks and try to get laid.

      1. The Shadow
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        There is no try, only do.

    4. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Here's to it.
      I might get him, though.

    5. Cole-man of the Ca-hill
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      No way I am captaining Suarez against Everton.. it will Benteke next GW.. :-))

  13. Scottys Army
    • 12 Years

    Oscar to Rambo

    for a FT yes or no

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Ask after the game.

  14. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Williams: how bad is this ankle injury? enough bad to drop him for B Davies or Chico or he'll be good next gw..?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Could easily play tomorrow.

      1. Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        ok. since if he does play or good for next gw, probably do FT Sturidge for lukaku yes or no?

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Is Davies nailed on?

      1. Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        davies is bak from injury so i assume taylor out

  15. PMC3

    3 players in the Norwich - West Ham game, beat that!

    1. Back to Back Ballacks
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Ravel - there ya go.

    2. beric
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      rat, turner and ravel?

      1. PMC3
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        2/3. Snodgrass instead of Turner.

    3. JWF
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Me too some how. Collins, Turner and Morrison. I'd settle for a 0-0 bore draw.

  16. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years

    Was comfortably going to beat my H2H but now HAzard has messed that up!!

  20. Gaz Downright
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years

    OK - sound the horns and someone is trying to kill Moxie now that he is put back on after going down

    :dripping sarcasm:

  21. isacki: full casual
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Any Coutinho owners watch the Pool game today? Can any other Coutinho owners not believe he got points today with that performance? He literally did everything but score. At least four shots in the box, must have been approaching 10 shots in total, just couldn't fecking shoot.

    When the stats come out he'll be one of the best midfielders if not the best this gameweek, but it won't make a jot of difference to his points.

    He just seems fecking cursed. Yeah, he blanked, but detractors watch the game before getting lazy.

    He did well last season too.

    1. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Hehe you pretty much summed up why Coutinho will never be a good FPL prospect.

      1. isacki: full casual
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        What makes it inexplicable is that I owned jim when he was a good FPL player last season! And his stats have got even better this season. He's on fire.

        Watch the guy.

        Then watch his points.

        Complete disconnect. Fml.

  22. Henry Hill

    Ramires dive:

      can't watch again

      embarassing

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

      There should be bans for these.

    3. The Shadow
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Don't think it was a dive, but also not a penalty.

    4. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      godawful refereeing and why I never can like Brazilian football(ers) - dishonesty is encouraged

    5. Back to Back Ballacks
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Was that fat twat Dowd the ref?
      I don't like criticising refs, but this year they are utter shit

    6. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      That's really not fair in so many ways. I bought in Oscar not Hazard.

      1. Back to Back Ballacks
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        Try Schurrle on for size

  23. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Suarez likely to keep his assist?

  24. beric
    • 13 Years

    jags 3, baines, moxey, coleman 2

    1. TorresMagic™

    1. Phaze 1

      so much this. Dunno why I did when we knew he was likely to be benched

  26. Heels_Over_Head

    Jagielka is a BAPS HOG

    Baines and Coleman are the hot properties, but Jagielka keeps hoovering up baps
