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.

    As a United fan the most depressing moments of that game were the last 45 secs, last season and further back we would have loobed the ball forward trying to get a winner; now we pass it backwards to Ferdinand who doddles on it until the final whistle because...we are afraid.

      i know that was so annoying and i think Moyes was urging them on to get the ball forward but for some reason they didn't.

      Atleast Moyes changed his tatics and realised or players strengths aren't heading.

      And the defenders also stepped up, although i am still un-convinced by Rafeal and Evra

        he didn't change anything..he just didn't press with indiscriminate crossing. he still played Mata on the wing in a 4-4-2/4-4-1-1..

        he's out of his element and needs to go..will probably talk about luck again in his presser

    Captain choice is always a roll of the dice. Hazard last week versus this week could be Sturridge this week versus next week. How about Adebayor captainers?
    Disclaimer: I captained Suarez both this week and last. Hazard and Adebayor would have put me at 1707 points.

    Is it just human nature that we only see other peoples good fortune and not our own?

    Clearly we all get both good and bad 'luck' at times, but if everyone is honest their really good weeks contain a rather large amount of good fortune.

    It shouldn't matter how that good fortune arrives, in the end of the day it's swings and roundabouts.
