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.

    59 after baps, 4 to play

    Always nice to have a good week before an international break.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      aye. dont want a red arrow staring at you for 2 weeks.

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

    never been this confident. i officially have the lowest GW score to date. 19(-4) with 4 to play. anyone can beat that ?

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

      depends who they 4 are

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      had a mate who got -1 one week

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

        who actually ACTIVELY plays FPL.

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

          I got 19(-4) as my TOTAL score in GW5... 😐

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

      I have 16 with 5 to play (had a 8 point hit)

    4. Yankee
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      7 (-4) with 5 to play ...Aguero(c) or bust for me 🙁

  4. World XI
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    26 with 5 to go. Not looking good

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

    Mirallas has been so disappointing of late. Always seems to get brought of early and I think he could lose his place to Deulofeu.

    Pending news, Mirallas -> Walcott looks a no brainer right?

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      I just cannot wait to get rid of him.. Walcott/Sessegnon comin in

  6. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Cmon Morrison! is he playin behind the striker?

    1. Ben Mee Over A Table
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      What striker?

      ...but yes

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

    Oscar to Gerrard or Rambo

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

      Might as well join the Rambo secret service.

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

        Why is Gerrard a good pick....missed the game today

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

      Why?

      But if you must, Stevie G

  8. super zlatan
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    If baps are correct I will be on 67 with 4 to play. 🙂

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      60 with 4 to play 😉 (Rooney, Aguero, Ramsey left!! and Morrison tonight)

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

        Nice. Well done mate

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

      58 with Chico, Townsend, Ramsey, Giroud left, nice score well done 😀

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

      62+haz's bonus (don't know it) with 5 to play, finally the worm has turned.

  9. Bridge
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Silva & Sturridge out for Gerrard & Rooney? No brainer? Cheers!!

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      keep Sturridge.

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

        Really? Already have Suarez & Mignolet (and maybe Gerrard!)

        1. OPTA FPL
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 3 months ago

          Liv fixtures are still very good. If you bought him at 9M, worth keeping

    This Bacuna character looks interesting, any views?

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

      fk specialist.

      a cheaper yaya toure

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

        A bargain at £4.6m?

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

          I think he is, just don't expect him to score a fk every week

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

            Will largely be bench fodder I would think.

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

      I think both his goals were from free kicks - his specialty?

  12. Acquafresca

    Cmon Ravel, give me something to smile about in the afternoon game!

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

      Cmon norwich defence

    2. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Snoddy failing would a little bit right?

    3. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      same, can see norwich conceding

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

    Finally just about getting the hang of this captain thing.....

    2 in a row on the correct call it would seem

    59 with Ravel / Ozil and Aguero to go.

    Shame about my -8 hit this week but given my main points were from the transfers...justified. ish.

    'Mon you go Ravel.

  14. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    really dont want to get hazard or ill have virtually the same team as my league leader except 40 odd points behind

  15. Assisting you all day
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Sturridge captain out suarez in 🙁

  16. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    52 points with 5 left, get in ya boyo

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

      such points

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

      You're welcome. Did you take my Gerrard advice as well? 🙂

      1. DonTheSpecialOne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        Didn't I suggest Gerrard to you? 😉

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

          Oh, really?

          I thought I came up with him. Aw well, thank you if it was your doing 🙂

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

      Nicely done 🙂

      1. DonTheSpecialOne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        🙂

    3. Ad4m
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Good call!

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

    Coutinho owners, keeping yep?

    If there is any connection between stats and points for coutinho, he has to deliver. If there isn't, well, bugger us all.

    1. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      he played well today, gerrard as well, tempted to get one of both but am waiting on walcott

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

      Could of scored or assisted today. Unlucky.

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

        Yeah I know it sounds cliched to say he was unlucky but there's really no other way to watch that performance and judge it

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

      Not an owner but I would keep looked decent today, would expect him to get better.

    4. 1mills
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah I am keeping, haven't seen the match or stats but typical that I had it down to Gerrard, Hazard and Coutinho and he's the one I went for.

      I also sold Suarez about 4/5 weeks back............

      My bench has been racking up the points in recent weeks also.

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

        Unlucky. With Coutinho it appears to be quantity over quality. So many chances, so lacking that finish. With Ramsey he seems to do it in one.

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

          Yeah hopefully he'll come good.

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

    I posted before the deadline that Michu won't fall tonight all of u didn't believe !!!

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

      He fell last night.

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      so he fell last night

  19. JS27
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    Sturridge is currently priced at 10.0. My sale price for him is 9.5. If he falls in price to 9.9, does my sale price remain the same?

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

      no, drops to 9.4

  20. Mini Mahouse
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    62 points with bonus and I have Ramsey, Özil, Rooney, Giroud and Januzaj left.
    Finally I get a good fantasy round.

    Hope tomorrow will be a goals galore. This round could be something special for me then.

  21. Trigg ⭐️
    • 13 Years

    4-2-4-0

    😆

  22. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    i would like a norwich cleanie please

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

      0-0 would suit me

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

    Michu replacement:

    Sess Cabaye Arnie...?

    I will keep until Jan WC. Don't be persuaded by today's goal by Sess. Think and tell me the opinion. Thanks

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

      i had the same problem wanted hazard for michu , didnt have cash so ended up doing michu and paulinho for hazard and cabaye. Cabaye might be ur best option i think, he is in great form, but u could wait till tomorow to watch him play

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

      Ignoring the goal - WBA still have the best fixtures until Christmas.

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

        I highly rate Pasq opinion. Thanks both

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

      Sess is a great option I think, WBA's main man in great form, with great fixtures, pretty cheap and a proven FPL performer. Why not?

      1. jas5sk - Youtube channel
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 3 months ago

        Just got him in. He usually burns me

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

          I just remember captaining him for sunderlands double game week last year, got me a decent haul and i've been a fan of him ever since

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

    Is Stevie G's scoring record in the derby that good or a myth ?

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

      Suarez record in the derby is also impressive

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

        I remember when he did that big dive in front of moyes, so funny 😆

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

        indeed with their fixtures , gerrard and suarez combo could be quality

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

      I just remember a hattrick in the past. I am tempted to give him the armband though 😀

    3. Declan-
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 3 months ago

      He got a hat trick a couple of years ago

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

        thanks all

        oscar to gerrard

        looks tempting

        stevie didnt go off injured did he ?

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

          No - he played with a minor hip injury and was taken off so he didn't aggravate it.

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

            thanks

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

      It's pretty good - but he's also been sent off a couple of times.

  25. Towsor44
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 3 months ago

    50 with 6 to go. Happy with that, wish I'd played Gabbidon over JT though 😉

    49 post baps with 5 left. Not as good as others on here, but pretty pleased with that.

    1. Pasqualinho

      Looks like a foul to me.

      But the other way.

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

    What's wrong with Benteke? He should definitely score when villa score two,

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

      He is overrated on these boards in my opinion

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

        I agree with this. He's still good an will score well, but there are better options I reckon
