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.

  2. Mellbergs Beard

    Of course I benched Ravel and kept Terry and Fonte in... Almost guaranteed cleanies i thought. Hoping Rambo, Mesut and Kun make me forget about the little scummer.

    damnit, morrison on the bench

    BOLLOCKS.

    Benched Ravel for Barkley 🙁

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

      🙁

      Oh the bright side: GERRARDDDDD

      Tough luck Giggsy, at least you have Stevie G. Hip news put me off 🙁

    Fans singing "Ohhhh Santi Cazorla"??

    1. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I've been trying to figure out what they are saying as well. Maybe some are santi cazorla and some are saying something else

    wish I had remy and cabaye for next week

    only thing which would stop me getting one of those is houghton gets sacked. Otherwise remy captain v norwich

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

      Was going to get remy but its madness to ship any of my strikers

      And Oscar just isnt value for 9 mil and needs to go first.

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

        no don't ship any striker you got

    2. Mr. Bean
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I really like Cabaye as a decent value pick, the 4 yellows scares me off though

  7. Simon March
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Amazing - Woke up Monday morning to see Michu was injured and dropping in price and had 10 mins to make the transfer. Saw Ravel was rising and thought 'he's cheap, I might make some money and he'll free up funds.'

    Was not expecting a goal... 🙂

  8. Sting
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    How is the game so far ? Any chance of Norwich getting back into it ?

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

      they look pretty bad to be honest but you never know

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

      They might nick a goal on the counter that's about it.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      1 shot so far but they might get the hairdryer treatment at halftime

      1. Sting
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah otherwise Hughton could well get the sack. A long international break of grumbling fans

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    rat is the sagna of west ham, can't cross to save his life

    1. Tobiathan
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      That would make him the Kyle Walker of West Ham lol!

    2. Jax
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      didn't he set up the goal for nolan's pass to ravel?

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

        first cross out of 50 he got right, yes I will give him that

        Looks very good and gets into very dangerous positions but so far not impressed with his crossing. If his crossing could beat the 1st man could have more assists

        1. Jax
          • 16 Years
          12 years, 2 months ago

          make up your mind.

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

            I made it up, I said he is awful at crossing but looking very dangerous

        2. The Sarjeant
          • 12 Years
          12 years, 2 months ago

          From what I've seen whilst trying to eat dinner his crossing has been good!

      2. The Sarjeant
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah.

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

      Very weird he can't cross since he's supposed to be a set-piece specialist

  10. Tobiathan
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    I've realized that even though I have Lovren, SOTON conceding is actually a good thing since there are so many teams with double and even triple Southampton coverage.

  11. Jax
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    west ham good away bad at home. opposite to last year

  12. 1mills
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Ravel sub. Sess sub this week.

    Last weeks subs. Marshall 8, Januzaj 5, Vlaar 9, Turner 8.

    The week before Marshall 12, Coleman 6

    The week before that Morrison 5, Chico 10

    Also chose Coutinho over Gerrard and Hazard and sold Suarez in GW8.

    FML.

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

      Unlucky, but you clearly have the right squad so over the next 26 gameweeks you will come good 🙂

      1. 1mills
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah that's what I'd said originally I won't mind bench points, but it does seem to be becoming a joke now 🙂

    2. Jax
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      sold suarez? wtf?

      1. 1mills
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        I made the decision that there was value in Lukaku.

        Then for Suarez I liked Giroud for palace game etc with plan to get Aguero in.

        As it happens should have gone with original idea of Aguero, Suarez and Rooney, but I didn't like that as couldn't keep Michu..........

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

      If only there was a mini-league for just bench player scoring, you'd be in the money mate!

    4. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      You deserve everything you get for daring to sell Suarez.

  13. Werkself
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Anyone considering Toon defenders for upcoming fixtures? If so, which would be best?

    Thanks

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Debuchy would be best. But I don't fancy their defence anyway.

      1. Werkself
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        fixtures look so good

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

    Sess triple rise on the cards?

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      He has -ve Nti at the moment(though that will change soon) and is on just 16%.. gonna be a while

    2. Declan
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Nope

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

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Nice!

        Remy for Luk, I am doing.

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Part reply fail there 🙂

  17. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Are their any strikers I could bring in for Lukaku? I have Suarez and Tekkers, and I have funds, but can't afford Aguero....

    1. Ich bin Klopp
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Remy has 2 home games next!

      1. Werkself
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        This.

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

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

      B2B Ballacks actually got Schurrle 😐

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

      Ramsey excluded would be good.

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

      My mate has him and Coleman on the bench. Hahaha.

    4. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Actually have a chance since Ashley Williams is a doubt

  19. Avon Barksdale
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Will I wildcard from this

    Chesney/Boruc
    Terry Dawson Toure Clyne Brayford
    Ozil Brady Barkley Januzaj Townsend
    Rooney Suarez Aguero

    1.6m in the bank

    to this

    Pantillimon/Davis
    Terry Dawson Rat Clyne Baker
    Hazard Walcott Nasri Januzaj Ward Prowse

  20. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years

  21. thunder_mike

  22. BigManBakar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Rat looks tempting :p
    Is he baines in disguise?

  23. Plagued by indecision
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    After the day I've had (bringing in Oscar, captaining Sturridge, not owning Suarez) I knew Ravel Morrison would score as I had benched him.

    And he has. Perfect. Just about sums it up. Thanks all. Good night.

  24. Jax
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    suarez 64 points since he came back from 6 games.

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

      And some people dared to wonder if he'd be better than Daniel; please.

      1. jas5sk - Youtube channel
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, because Daniel has nothing to do with it...

  25. Deulo10
