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.

    I hope that everyone else's defences are looking as leaky as mine for next week

    1. World XI
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I have no captain options next week. Worrying. No stand out fixture

  3. FORCA INTER

    damn you Rat,Harper and Ivanovic , oh yesss and Sess on the bench

    at least ravel has scored , could be worse

      CoutinhNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

      you keeping Ivan or dropping? enough is enough..too much premkum for his potential for 6.4

    Given the "pressure" on Jol and Houghton when do questions start getting asked of Big Sam? Or Mark Hughes for that matter!

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

      Tired of seeing managers get sacked.

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

        I agree. Just feel like Jol and Houghton are getting undue stick because they aren't "in" with the media. Houghton especially. Jol's put together a squad of luxury players that won't be up for a dog fight. Palace and Fulham are looking doomed whatever they do...

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

          Taarrabt is a cancer wherever he goes

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

      he way Fulham are playing takes the pressure off a bit.

  5. Deulo10
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Midfielders can't come in for defenders if I'm playing 3 right?
    Really hope Williams plays tomorrow otherwise I'm stuck with Murner's 1 pt 🙁

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

    is
    michu > walcott
    and
    shaw > rat
    a good decision?

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

      Wouldn't get Walcott just yet but Shaw to Rat is good

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

        walcott has 2 weeks and im worried about michu going down again

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

      check Walcott fitness and wait

    3. Aurora

      michu to haz/cazorla/oscar/coutinho

  7. Acquafresca

    Snodgrass point blank on his left foot 😆

  8. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Could have had an absolute hatful

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

    Morrison on for 3 bps 🙂

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

      just went ahead of Snoddy and hooper with 11 to their 10 🙂

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

        if it stays like this, Snoddy will get an extra BP for the winning goal

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

      Will be tied with Snodgrass for 3 then. Winning goal

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

        Owner of both, please be right 🙂

      2. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Snodgrass just missed a "big chance" should lose a BPS.

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

      Will a Morrison play... Ravel first sub

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

          Only for a -8 😉

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

            Done.

    Snoddy you tool!

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

    Evening all. Have I missed all the smugness by people with ludicrously high scores with 11 left to play?

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

      Look below!

      Apologies..

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Evidently not..

  15. Viper
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    69 including bps with Walker, Chico, Ozil, Ramsey & Aguero to play 😯

    My season has finally turned...I think

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

      I guess I do have 63 with 5 left to play 😉

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

        That's quite a score too. Fair play! 🙂

  16. beric

    @JK been eying up debuchy myself, with colo back too they good be a good prospect for CS in the next few weeks

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

      The only off putting thing is wasting a transfer for a defender.

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

        i could do brayford to debuchy so wouldnt really be a waste for me

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

        have you seen my defence for next week

        Williams (ful)
        Clyne (ars)
        Burner (MNU)
        Kolarov (TOT)
        Coleman (LIV)

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

          I have:
          Chico (ful)
          Clyne (ars)
          Burner (MNU)
          Walker (mci)
          Coleman (LIV)

          Bigger issues to sort out though...

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

      Indeed. Tempted by Colo as well

      If Newcastle do keep a CS he will likely get BPs.

      But I have Barkley and Silva to worry about as well.

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

      What about Coloccini himself?

      3 baps in both of their early home game wins

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

        Indeed

        Debuchy's only BPs have come when he has gained attacking returns

  17. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Will ravel get any Baps?

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

      2 or 3 depending on possible winning goal for Snodders.

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

      3 as it stands 🙂

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

    if RavMo can avoid yellow a few more minutes, looks like it's Barkley to RavMo to protect team value

    after gw 12, can unload RavMo, Januzaj, or Amalfitano for Walcott

    ugly couple of weeks to turn the tide back upward

  19. alang
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    hope west ham lose, bloody anti football.

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

    Advising my girlfriend on team moves - please help:

    A) Sturridge -> Rooney
    B) Lukaku and Oscar -> Rooney and (yes the) Sess (-4)
    C) Something else (can't get Suarez - keeper league)

    Boruc / Lewis
    Baines / Terry / Rosenior / Burner / Clyne
    Hazard / Oscar / Ramsey / Nasri / RavMo
    Aguero / Sturridge / Lukaku

    Thanks 🙂

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

      girlfriend, you show off

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

          1. Mind över Mata
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            You better believe it 😉

        2. Arfa chance
          • 14 Years

          Very nice. What's her nationality?

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

    A am so sorry for this monstrosity of a question:

    Is Nathan Baker nailed on?

    1. Deulo10
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      LOL...played 90 mins last 4 GWs so i'm guessing yeah? 13 points on the bench from him last 2 GWs..

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

      Looks to have the edge on Clark

    3. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

  22. Carden
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    After working on my drawing board, the best i can come up to get Rooney into my team is:

    Zabaleta > Baker/Rosenior
    Lukaku > Rooney
    -4

    Sounds good?

  23. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    My mate's playing 3 at the back including Sakho. He's got a goalscorer as his first sub, but am I right in saying he can't come on, as it would mean having 2 defenders?

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

      Only if a player from a mid or forward slot does not play

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

      yep

  24. FORCA INTER
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    i can't belive that CF started ahead of me , his team is so poor

    poor managment by Christna , still can't belive that i am bench

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

      me too, it's an outrage

      1. FORCA INTER
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        i was suprised for you as well ,it's retarded really

        i played my WC and still benched for some reason ahead of player who scored 20pts last gw

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

      Should have played for Tahiti 😉

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        +100. His place in starting 7 was assured. But after him behaving he would have been on the bench too, so it doesn't matter anyway 😉 😆

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

      Don't question the management. You got stung by a bee 😉

    4. FPL Daniel

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

    If he was on pens and Norwich weren't so wasteful, Snoddy could have had 3 goals and about 5 assists

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

      That's two giant if's

  27. Viper
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Didn't see any games today..

    Is Suarez's assist 100%?

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

      If you ask you clearly saw it.

  28. FPL Daniel

      I've got the same problem with Ben Davies. Hoping someone might shed some light on him.
      And nasty? Nah he'll never play

      1. beric
        • 13 Years

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

          I know man, well annoying. Although I'm hoping Davies don't play, can see him not being chosen what with the injury n all

          1. beric
            • 13 Years
