With the purr from the Gylfi Sigurdsson bandwagon in our ears, Fantasy managers will now be looking to a batch of three o’clock kick-offs for similar targets. A quintet of afternoon matches await, before Arsenal host Crystal Palace at the Emirates this evening.

Interest in the top bracket looks somewhat limited, although the likes of Stoke and QPR have become unlikely sources of budget and mid-price assets, with the performances of Bojan, Jordan Mutch and Charlie Austin of particular interest. All start this afternoon and, interestingly, Austin is partnered by Loic Remy in the QPR attack, while Thomas Ince appears to be up front for visitors Hull.

Elsewhere, Romelu Lukaku is handed a starting berth at Leicester by Roberto Martinez, despite fitness concerns. Kevin Mirallas is kept on the Everton bench with budget buy Steven Naismith earning a start. Meanwhile, down at the Boleyn Ground, Spurs start with both Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela as expected – although the likes of Eric Dier, Danny Rose and Aaron Lennon are all on the team sheet with Ben Davies, Lewis Holtby and Roberto Soldado amongst the subs.

You can look to out Twitter feed for all the lineup from today’s matches.

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

    Who are fellow Giroud owners looking at to replace him with. I'm thinking Adebayor or Bony.

    LAST CHANCE TO ENTER. Closing entries before the Arsenal game starts.

    Lads on Touré League - £50 Prize.

    For the community being so helpful and great over the past year that I've been a user on this site, I've decided to run a mini league in which the winner will receive a £50 Amazon voucher.

    The league code is: 471-68331

    - The voucher code will be emailed to the winner at the end of the season.
    - The voucher can only be used on the UK site.
    - If there is a joint winner, then the manager who made the least transfers will be the winner.
    - If there is still a joint winner after this, then the £50 voucher will be divided between the winners.

    I hope you enjoy the league! Good luck!

    I always think this game has a large quantity of luck involved, but it seems no coincidence that the same players are consistently getting high scores, not sure what I do wrong really, although downgrading Siggy to afford Chelsea defence wasn't my smartest move.
