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.

      12 years, 2 months ago

      Wow, so you won by not getting him?

    • 16 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Glad I dismissed Snoddy as an option for a sub-£6m midfielder last night... still don't really regret it after having him earlier in the season and watching him do nothing

          Went with the gut, Michu -> Snoddy, let the food gates open!

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

    Who's a better pick, Snoddy or Sess?

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

      personally leaning towards sess

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

      Sess

    3. Toonzie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      sess and i own snod

    4. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Sess

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

      Sess is top class in my opinion

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

      haha guess that confirms it, cheers 😀

    7. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Sess BUT he will frustrate you.

    8. Rafabio
      • 13 Years

      Sess

                • 13 Years
                12 years, 2 months ago

                Barkley and Boruc and Clyne....not well played. Happy to stay in top 100k.

                10k is a big deal. That can be the truth....

  6. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Is it 3-1?

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

      2-1 to NOR

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

      Just feels like 3-1 🙁

  7. 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 (if I got Ravel he'd be benched)
    c) Kolarov/Burner to Debuchy



    Tempted to just get Silva out if Brady is fit.

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

      You have them in the correct order of priority

      Check your purchase prices on Silva and Barkley to make sure you don't lose team value

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

      sess yr only option?

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

        not at all, can afford anyone up to 9.4, but none of the big mids appeal

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

          hmm okie i understand yr situation

          silva to see and barkley to cabaye would be my pick

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

            sess*

    No idea what transfer to make next gw....1FT and 1m

    myhill
    vidic dawson baines (burner wilson)
    ramsey hazard januzaj nasri (barkley)
    suarez lukaku aguero

    A: wilson >> mertesacker....will benh dawson then
    B: any other options? any ideas on how to bring sess in? 0.2 short of bark >> sess
    C: upgrade lukaku > benteke?

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

      I'd wait until we see what injuries the international break brings, but Lukaku to Remy could be a good move considering Newcastle's upcoming fixtures

  9. Jeremiah
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    How did Benteke or Oscar look today ? Anyways threatening ?

    Cheers 🙂

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

      Chelsea were dreadful for a home performance IMO. I didn't watch Villa.

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

    Sess has put me in a dilemma now. Was gonna swap him for Yaya this week then Yaya to Silva later but I might just hold on to Sess and see how he does

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

      Good fixtures until Christmas.

  11. Liastro ⭐️
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Really pleased with the hit I took before this GW:

    Michu + Sturridge + Giroud -> Morrison + Suarez + Aguero!

    1. stumanchuu

    I think it will be soon Amalfitano's week.

    1. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years

      I think it will soon be**

      1. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah cheers Acquafresenegoal.

        Coutinho.

  13. thetinkerman
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years

    Tekkers, Lukaku AND Studge blank against favourable opposition? Wow.

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

      Don't worry. You have Nolan, right?

      1. thetinkerman
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        no 🙁

        Got Rambo

        1. thetinkerman
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Was between Rambo, Sess and Nolan 🙁

    2. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I'm stunned by Sturridge.

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

      That's why we play the game. Some things you never see coming

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

      None of them are good options right now.

      Benteke not shown any form since returning from injury, Lukaku now with fixtures against him for the next 4, and Studge being completely outclassed by Suarez.

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

      Thats why you need at least 1 of Rooney/Suarez/Aguero

      1. thetinkerman
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        I have Aguero. My original plan for the week was to get Sess in for Michu to allow Giroud > Suarez. Need Arsenal to thrash United!!!

  14. jurgenizer | TRIPEIROS
    • 13 Years

    6/7 point midfields are trending this year. Could have like four of them soon...

      When I say “point”, I mean £££

  18. Acquafresca

    Why hasn't Collins' assist been added for the Snodgrass goal?

      Well might you ask. 🙁

    2. Jinswick

      Snoddy is on fire

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

    Anyone watched Pool match? How did Coutinho look?

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

      Threatening, had a couple of chances too but couldn't convert, looked very lively throughout.

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

      Usual, over hitting passes. Weak outside shot. Meh.

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

      Pretty lively - he does help to make them tick. A lot of efforts off target but he might open his account soon. Not sure he's worth 8.5, though.

    4. BuK II
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Poor mans Ozil/Silva from what I've seen. Owned him at the start.

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

        Oiii 😀

    Looking forward to 2 weeks of not worrying about FPL.

    Then come Thursday

    PANIC as my defence is in the toilet, Silva is injured and I have Barkley

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

      my defence is so shit next gw. will probably still do barkley to adnan though

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

        I have Brady, if he's fit I'll play him, but a -4 for Ravel just to bench him seems mad.

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

        I have

        Clyne (ars)
        Buner (MNU)
        Kolarov (tot)
        Coleman (LIV)

        I have to play 2, hence why I'm thinking about Debuchy

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

    Oscar to Sess

    Sess is a far more exciting pick and his next game is monday night game so gives me some interest in it.

    good move or madness

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

      Give Oscar another week.

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

        but long trip back , he may get rested v hammers and sess is home to villa.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

          I did look back and realize the only two premier league matches Oscar did not start were after his Brazil duties

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

            that confirms my decision.

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

      madness, but what do I know, seems kneejerk wins out against logic this season

  27. megatronaldinho
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    i chose to ignore Doos's advice. bathing in my own misanthropy, while fraught with alienation and simple well-aimed hatred, is almost definitely worth it
