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.

    Starting Whittingham over Sessegnon so annoyed seemed the best option but clearly not 🙁

  2. FPL Daniel

    12 years, 2 months ago

    On another note, Evs is having a great season once more. He could/ should win it this time. Good luck and we are all behind you 😉

      I've been backing Snodgrass for a few weeks, I'm getting him after the break.

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

      Money no object should never be in same thought/phrase as Snod or Sess. If money no object, I suggest, Hazard, Ozil, Walcott soon, etc

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

    Ah shit!

    Snodgrass + Hooper = 1 bps

    Morrison = 9 bps

  11. ZULU23
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    My team is:

    Szczesny

    Ivanovic, Zabaleta, G. Johnson (Baker, Chester)

    R. Morrison, Ramsey, Mirallas, Barkley (Colback)

    Suarez, van Persie, Aguero

    I need to get rid of Mirallas (7.2m) and Barkley (5.2m), but I have only 1 free transfer and 0.6m in the bank...
    Should I change Mirallas and Barkley for Coutinho and Kasami (perhaps) and go -4? Or something else?
    Whether to do that tonight because if I wait longer I don't be able to do that because of price fail/rise... On the other hand following international break brings danger of potential injurys...What is your opinion? Greetings!

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

    Can use a little help here,
    what transfer should be on my priority list ?

    Migz 4.0
    Coleman Terry Evra Chester Chambers
    Routledge Ramsey Ozil Coutinho JWP
    Lukaku Suarez Aguero

    1 FT , 0.6 M in the bank

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

      I'd look to sell Evra personally.

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

        against cardiff ? and bring in who ?

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

          I'd keep Evra, Man U are beginning to hit a bit of form and should be expected to keep a clean sheet against Cardiff, GW12 is a bit iffy and CSs will be important, so I'll being using my Hull defence on their home game 😉

          Lukaku ( who is sticking out in my team too) is probably my priority
          With my shortlist so far at Remy & Benteke
          though with the international break, really you probably want to wait it out.
          Currently Benteke is a stronger position as Newcastle can be a bit hit & miss atm.

      Tempted myself giggs but sess is also on my radar

      verdict

      1. Piggs Boson

        Tough... Toss a coin?

          • 12 Years

          how about

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

      not sure who i'm gunna get, might sve money and get januzaj or might go for either sess or snodgrass. probably prefer sess of those two though

      1. Christina.
        • 15 Years

        Both for me.

    3. Evans

    @Acquafresenegoal

    I asked earlier if Suarez assist was 100% and you replied "If you ask you clearly saw it."

    I didn't see any games but I had heard that Gerrard had got the assist for the first goal so I wasn't sure where the Suarez assist had come from!

    1. Heydudes13

      Christ. 😕

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

        Sessegnon not even first sub?

      1. Christina.
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        If i didn't know any better I would have thought Mark is doing all of this on purpose.

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

        Gerrard not too shabby eh? 😉

    3. PINKFISH (SANCTIONED AND GA…

      Defensive masterclass.

    4. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldnt have made the transfers he made I must be honest, theyve done OK, but he needs big points and so far the players bringing in big points are Suarez and Aguero. But Mark has literally one of the finest FPL histories there is. I think this buys him a little slack....

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

      The amateur

    6. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      The Studge points fudge was plain unlucky

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

        Yes, but I would have transferred out Rooney for Suarez in his shoes and had them both against a poor Fulham at home.

        1. Reedy
          • 15 Years
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Fair point that!

      No Suarez... tut tut.

  18. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 15 Years

    Pssst! WBA have really good fixtures coming up. I'm getting McAuley and Sess. You should too!

  19. gers23
    • 14 Years

    Will Suarez get the assist? And what are the bonus like for pool game?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      let's find out, nobody knows here

    2. Jax

      12 years, 2 months ago

      yes.

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

    What are people doing with Lukaku, keeping or selling ?

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Probably have to keep, need to shift Silva. Still, anything can happen in a derby game...

      1. timski8000
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 2 months ago

        I'm intrigues as to why this wasn't your top priority this week.

        I appreciate midfielders aren't exactly producing at the minute but there is no way I'd leave 9million + on the bench for a week. Could be why I'm doing terribly this year!

        1. Reedy
          • 15 Years
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Honestly I'd rather have had the extra defender this week. It was probably daft but also I didn't know who to swap him for yet...and I still don't!

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

      Sold for Benteke

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

      Sell.

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

      Sell

    5. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Probably keeping although i have an idea if I choose to get rid...

  21. megatronaldinho

    12 years, 2 months ago

    the more i listen to Rush! the more i wonder whether neil peart wasted his sh!t there. Rush were pretty great but they wasn't no pink floyd. it's like if some guy from one direction decided that like maybe some other direction was kind of his thing i guess . warning: this reference is both clueless and idiotic. you've been warned. idiot

    1. SPorting

      I thought Hemsworth was good in it though.

      that second sentence totally deserves a pulitser. seems silly to make an effort when you can just pretend tio know who the hell one direction are

  22. Mr Smith
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on Lukaku & Oscar -> Rooney & Coutinho (-4)?

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

      I would

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

      If you want coutinho's max 3 points every game then yes

  23. FORCA INTER

    i need sess pts off bench

    1. Christina.

      So what's up with Coutinho?

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

        what's up with pathetic picking starting 11?

        still amazuied what CF doing there

        his team couldnt be worsier

        1. Christina.
          • 15 Years
          12 years, 2 months ago

          If Williams doesn't play you might think different.

          1. Christina.
            • 15 Years

            Sorry ignore me.

      You'll probably get lucky and get them.

    3. Jax
      • 16 Years

      he will.

    4. SPorting
      • 14 Years

      Poor management.

      No wonder they benched you.

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years

        😆

      2. Christina.

        I agree.

      you can thank suarez to be honest.

  25. HarryS
    • 13 Years

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

    Sturridge to Suarez, mid for £6.8m to replace Coutinho?

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

    Are we seeing the rise of the mid priced midfielders? That's Lallana, Snodgrass and Sessegnon all doing well this week.

    Liking the look of Sess.
