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.

      A few big scorers will make some scores great.

      The majority will be like you... but just won't be shouting about it like the others. 🙂

      Very low average I bet.

      To be fair, without the postponements this week it would have been a very nervous evening for me. Only 1 City player for example. Just the luck of the draw

        It's been an absolutely awful luck swing not in my favour. Mannone, Coleman, Kolarov, Silva, Mirallas. Not even Ward to come off the bench either.

    I can't complain too much with 53 and 8bps to come (-4pts) -- considering I switched out Özil for Mirallas for a hit and captained Suarez. And that was with only 8 players involved. At least I've got a few lined up for the coming double game weeks.
