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.

    Someone give me a good replacement for Lukaku.

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

      Remy

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      remy or rooney

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      possibly giroud with the fixtures

    4. Louis
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Was thinking Benteke myself, but no apparent form.

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        Monitor remy performance tomorrow.
        Benteke, remy or try and get back Rooney for -4

    5. @FPLMason
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Remy

    6. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Rooney. 😉

    7. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Eto

  2. The3rdTurd
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Coutinho watch:

    9 shots, 4 on target, 2 key passes, 3 successful dribbles, 84% pass completion from 87 passes.

    And diddly squat FPL returns. Just like his early season games before he got injured.

    1. Alton E.
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping.

    2. Crouch Potato!
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Against a woeful Fulham side though.

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

      Just like the gw1 stoke game. Complete stats troll. Actually not even a stats troll in the sense of misleading, because he got good chances too and was the most involved midfielder.

      Finishing. Maybe he simply doesn't have it. Young and inexperienced.

    4. Barry Woj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      It was so predictable!

  3. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Jose said it was a penalty ha

  4. Demí
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Is that Coleman and Baines getting 2 baps in the Everton Palace game i see?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      😀

    2. FantaCity
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      so far, yes 🙂

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        Thinking of doing an Andy and doubling up

    3. Scottys Army
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      3 cleanies on the bounce for seamus

      patience rewarded

    3. Barry Woj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Someone earlier posted a score of 0 from 5 players today. Can't remember their name though. Tough break.

      1. You've got red on you.

  9. Scottys Army
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    I had my transfers lined up but have had a change of heart.

    Why should i ship one of my 3 forward when their delivering for me , mids are my problem.

    So rooney stays

    FT Rambo in , Oscar out just far better value in rambo.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Yesterday u wanted rooney out and oscar to stay

      1. Scottys Army
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        Rooney is delivering though and rambo is on fire.

    2. Demí
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      You had a change of heart with Migs too eh? Thought he was definitely out after Fulham

      1. Scottys Army
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

      2. Scottys Army
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        I remember a post of yours saying is it time to ship coleman a few weeks back .....

        1. Demí
          • 15 Years
          12 years, 3 months ago

          Indeed. And i was wrong. Now will you admit to your change of mind too?

          1. Scottys Army
            • 12 Years
            12 years, 3 months ago

            yes i was wrong.

    2. Reedy

  11. Godfather Bandit 42
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Without Suarez (C), I would have had 10 (-4) from 5...

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

      Don't think about it 😉

  12. john25

    Repost

    Did Amalfitano get injured?

    How did he play?

  13. Rossamous
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    SWEET! Pulled a drunk transfer last night Silva-->Hazard (-4). And it totally pulled off! This is how I make all transfers from now on lol

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Paid off, you mean. Hopefully.

      1. Barry Woj
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        Hopefully that wasn't a Freudian slip. It was good that Hazard got those points... but that good...?!

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

        😎 haha yeah payed off *still drunk obviously

  14. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    So happy with our performance today against a strong Everton side. Went close to scoring, but overall it still feels like a win rather than a draw.

    Onwards and upwards now. COYP!

  15. @FPLMason
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Lovin the fact that I have Sessegnon!
    Was he withdrawn for tactical reasons or was he injured?

    1. Milner4eva
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Nice, good pick, think I'll be doing MIchu -> Sess this week

  16. meltedman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Best Barkley replacement?

    A) Arnautovic
    B) Amalfitano
    C) Whittingham
    D) Januzaj
    E) Kasami

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      D

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

      D

    3. SamH123
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      I think I might go Januzaj

    4. ★FC Borecelona★
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      WBA have some decent fixtures coming up

      B

    5. meltedman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers all.

      I was leaning towards A and B over Januzaj because of nailed-on-ness. If i wanna go with Arnie i gotta do it before Barkley drops..

  17. bthomsen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Nasri nailed on until Silva gets back?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      possibly

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

      i thought he is even with Silva on the pitch ?

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

      Even when Silva comes back. Nasri plays over Navas.

  18. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Coutinho got more points than Gerrard in PlayON 😐

    I have both but still...

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

    • 16 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    That's just an outrageous decision at Stamford Bridge. What is that, 8 points for Hazard. Please no smilies in reply.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      😀

    2. Lawrø

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

      surely you are most happy about ending a 7 game losing streak?

      1. crystalpalaceRus
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        The fact he got 6pts kinda gives off the hint we also ended the streak...

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