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.

    Would you WC this team? Can't find any way to get Suarez or Aguero in easily without and still stinging from a Sturridge captain fail..

    Boruc / Speroni
    Koscielny / Toure / Chico / Rat / Ward
    Ozil / Hazard / Oscar / Ravel / JonWilliams
    Sturridge / Rooney / Giroud

    1FT, 0.9 in the bank

    1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Toure to 4.0, upgrade sturridge

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

      It's a serious pain in the hole mate isn't it. I think we've no choice but to hit the WC button.

      iffy

      9 weeks 'til the January WC

      depends on how much you would shake up the midfield and defenders

      if it is only for strikers, i wouldn't

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

        I'd be planning on keeping Ozil, Ravel, Hazard.. Shipping Oscar and JonWilliams for something like Sessegnon and Bacuna.. I keep telling myself Sturridge will outscore Suarez some weeks but it just isn't going to happen is it? 😐

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

      don't think you need a WC, downgrade Oscar? then Sturridge/Giroud to Aguero/Suarez

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

        Quite a good plan actually. Oscar -> Sess and Sturridge -> Suarez for -4 looks appealing..

        1. Mind över Mata
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 2 months ago

          That's he ticket 🙂

    5. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      WC, you have got to get Aguero and Suarez in asap

    6. Aurora
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I had exactly the same frontline as you last week then I did

      Giroud and Michu to Suarez and Lallana

      Worked out a treat!

      U'll have to take a hit if I'm honest, probs get Giroud and Oscar out for Suarez and mid.

    7. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      oscar->januzaj or similar priced range and do sturridge n giroud to ageuro for -8..toure transfer oso can work

    8. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      interesting
      throughout its fine-you're just short of those 2
      I'd wait especially as it will become clearer if suarez will really play next GW

  2. Heels_Over_Head
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    bringing in RavMo when he's on 4 YC's seems like a bad idea

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

      i did it, working out OK so far

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        woulda shoulda coulda didn't

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

    Any updates on Nasty fitness? If hes out I get ravel off the bench!

  4. HarryS
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Mignolet - Marshall
    Williams - Coleman - Ivanovic - Murner - Collins
    Coutinho - Ramsey - Oscar - Townsend - Ravel
    Aguero - Sturridge - Benteke

    Sturridge to Suarez leaves me with £-1.7m, downgrade:

    Ivanovic
    Coutinho or Oscar

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

      Ivanovic -> Vlaar?
      Or
      Coutinho -> Sess?

  5. Vote Joke
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Is Collins a good player to get? I need a defender to play most weeks but only have 4.3 to spend...

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

      Vlaar is a better pick IMO

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

      He's decent, but not sold on WHU's backline if Reid is out

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

      He might rotate with Tomkins when Reid is back with Tomkins getting the more apps.

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

    barkley to januzaj is looking likely this week

    1. Stats King-@football2space
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      buy Ravel, absolute gem.

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

        already got him

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Ha ha

      I did Michu to Januzaj last week

      Doing Barkley to RavMo this week

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

        januzaj still has the chance to vindicate you!

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          12 years, 2 months ago

          not when i benched him behind barkley

          oh well

          onward to next week

  7. Eboue
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    These days, pages are even flying during games including the greats of jonny howson and jamescollins

  8. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Is anyone considering bringing in Brady? He was instrumental to Hull before his injury and is on all set pieces.

    Obviously will be waiting on news of his fitness first before pulling the trigger.

    Oh and it's for Lampard 😕

    1. PMC3
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      If he was fully fit, and I had a FT he would be in my team.

    MORRRRISON YA BEAUT

  10. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    which of the following would you prioritise (am prepared to do 2)

    a) Silva to Sess
    b) Barkely to Ravel/Cabaye
    c) Kolarov/Burner to Debuchy



    Tempted to just get Silva out if Brady is fit.

  11. Stats King-@football2space
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Whats the prognosis on WALCOTT? Will anybody dare to bring hm in the Int. Break ?

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

      not yet

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

      ouch

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

      Poor guy could have had Ramsey (c) and he blew it

  12. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Barkley out Arnie in seems inevitable for me

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

      Jon Walters time.

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

    Is Bacuna nailed on? looks like the best choice at 4.6 million and Villa got amazing fixtures

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

      Playing reverse OOP though.

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

        True but not that we have many options in Midfield nor budget. and he is getting into good positions

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

          Not tempted by Ravel at 0.1 more?

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

            Depends on how much Silva drops in next matches. I will be buying him back for sure once he is fit. Oscar needs to go for Hazard too

            Well, that's what it seems now, who knows what next weeks bring

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

    Rat trap!

    1. alang

    2. Pasqualinho

    Just about over my EPIC FAIL of bringing in Januzaj for Lallana instead of Michu.

    thought id let you know.

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

      michu is injured, you're better off with januzaj. weird that you'd sell lallana though

    2. Bubz

    3. Mr. Bean

    6. Aurora
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      yep i did lallana

      Hull at home was too good to miss, Lallana is a beast, and despite his worse fixtures he is too qual. to be left out.

      Unlucky mate

    8. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I thought Michu would have been fine & it was so I could get Suarez in for Giroud as well. I knew it was a risk with Hull at home. And Lallana has bad fixtures coming. Still annoying tho.
