Fantasy managers are hoping for an improvement this evening after the first four fixtures of Gameweek 26 served up a paltry five goals last night. Unfortunately, we only have four matches to contend with after the weather put paid to City’s game against Sunderland and Everton’s home clash with Palace.

Hopes of Fantasy returns at the Cottage are still high as Liverpool roll up to Fulham, with Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge carrying the captaincy hopes of many. Arsenal and United go head to head at the Emirates, with Robin van Persie and co facing a tough task of breaching a Gunners backline that has conceded once in the last eight in front of their own fans.

Charlie Adam has notched four times in as many home matches as Stoke welcome Swansea to the Britannia, whilst Tottenham’s trip to under-strength Newcastle offers Emmanuel Adebayor a chance to carry on the form that has seen him average nine points per away appearance under Tim Sherwood.

As always, our Dugout Discussion chatroom will support your real-time banter requirements throughout this evening’s matches.

    The real miss right now is Lucas. Once he's back Suarez will be free scoring again (and Gerrard should do even better).

    Studge C. congrats to all who went that route.

    but curious, for those who went Sturidge C, what was the reasoning? was it the diffeential favtor that the majority were going Suarez, or belief in Studge dorm being better than Suarez, what??

    Damn. Had a good night despite only fielding 8 players this GW but could have really put some distance between me and my rival had my other players.

    Looks like I'll end on 49. Good score from 8 players but Kolarov, Coleman, Yaya and Dzeko might have given me so much more.

    55 with 18 coming from the bench with Vlaar and Koscielny (if he gets 3 BAPS) replacing Yaya & Silva, plus 3 BAPS for Sturridge.

    76, I reckon? Without Adebayor btw.

    Luckiest week I've had in a long time. Collins 15, Marshall 11, and 18 from 2 players off the bench.

        In fact, I still think that often do not make the necessary transfers for fear of losing points 🙂
        And then sometimes I notice the team where people gaining about 100 points each round at -12...
        So for me the last 2-3 seasons habitually make -4 or -8 hits, but not to the logic - the strongest team possible for the next round, taking transfers only if the player has a strong calendar for a few rounds ahead.

        To speak about Ade...2 gameweek`s ago I was near the decision to bring in RVP for Ade with (-8), but at the last moment stay away...90% of luck 🙂

          yep.i was asking u since i saw that a minus 4 hit generally is equal to approx 15-20,000 spots in overall rank.

          and if u see Overall Leaderboard, guarantee u 90% teams have max 25-26 transgers, bascally 1 FT per gw. thats why i was curious.

            I justify themselves by saying that 80% of my transfer to produce results, otherwise I would have probably stopped making them 🙂

            Although, of course, is just one of the strategies of the game and it is very difficult to predict, would i be higher or lower without my tranfers...

            To be honest, I believe that the choice of captain when it`s not very clear, decide more than hits
