Sunday has a lot to live up to and, from a Fantasy perspective, it looks to be little more than a scouting mission.

None of today’s four participants have a double fixture in the Gameweek, meaning that, in Fantasy Premier League terms, they’ll be few assets on show that will influence our Gameweek tallies.

Even so, Tottenham’s White Hart Lane encounter with Southampton should tell us plenty about the remaining prospects of their players over the run-in. Similarly, Aston Villa go into their home meeting with Stoke looking for a third consecutive win, with Christian Benteke certainly up for consideration as an end of season differential.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for news of today’s lineups, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is warmed up and ready to go for those looking to scratch that real-time reaction itch.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Just seen what's happened so far today. Selling Lallana before a DGW and having it backfire Is annoying because he's a player I like and almost got him at times when he would have scored well for me but when I eventually got him it was for 1 assist then a run of blanks but nevertheless its not surprising that he scored.

    But for the also sold Boruc to get an assist... this is just outright trolling FFS!

    Good God, people, the bleating is deafening in here today.

    Quit it with the hindsight-heavy hand-wringing over your transfers. If it was a good idea 2 days ago, it can still be a good idea.

    I thought you SOLD ERIKSEN because you were tired of living and dying by his inconsistency, and yet he ruins your entire Sunday hangover with 2 meaningless goals.

    SHUT UP!!! None of your opponents have him anyway! It's not like you sold CR7 to buy Ballack.

      Nobody owns Crouch, either!

      You knew what Lallana was capable of when you traded him in for Kevin Nolan, just like everyone else!

      You read the Big Numbers with multiple Snodgrass mentions for the entire last month, every week, didnt' you?

      It does not help anyone to suffer publicly. Be a man (or a woman) and DEAL WITH IT. Be constructive.

    If William Carvalho can develop his attacking game, and refine his defensive skills, he'll be better than Fernandihno no doubt. Physically the man is like Yaya Toure but with more defensive awareness. I say that because Yaya bombs forward and lets Fernandinho clean things up. If United sign him, 37m is too much in my opinion, but anyway, If he comes they can shift to a 4-1-4-1 maybe with him operating as the '1' in the formation.

        To be fair, the people in the know (ie not on this site) rate him highly. Prices are crazy and I doubt he'd go to United anyway

    Expect there are a few managers hoping Dzeko doesn't recover in time for Tuesday.

    2nd place in ML has Lallana 1st off the bench.
    3rd place has Oscar.
