European football ravages Saturday’s programme, leaving us with just half a dozen encounters. The day’s events start with what, on paper, looks a tepid affair: Stoke pay visit to Loftus Road to meet with Harry Redknapp’s newly promoted QPR.

Let’s not dress this up – Fantasy managers are likely to have little or no interest in this one. Having been disappointed by the impact of Bojan after his pre-season hype, we’ve steered clear of Mark Hughes’ Potters, bar skipper Ryan Shawcross who has a place in almost 15% of Fantasy Premier League lineups. As for the R’s, only defender Steven Caulker can boast respectable ownership – indicating that a classic 0-0 stalemate will be the result of choice for many.

The early kick-off takes us into four afternoon clashes, before the day is rounded off with Liverpool’s trip to Upton Park at tea-time. As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for lineup news on that one and all today’s matches.

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

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Hasn't he scored 2 so far this season? 😳

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Ahh...3 already..my bad. A 4th then 😉

        2. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

    Good to see it all going wrong for Redknapp. Can't believe the reputation he still has amongst the press as some sort of managerial superstar. The sooner he's out of football the better.

    1. Mulder
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Well said.

    2. Whazza

    6. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Has no place in modern football. Agreed.

    7. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years

      Truer words have never been spoken

  3. Tangerine Army XI
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    FFS - Yoshida is starting, bloody benched him after he was dropped last week

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Toby injured, it was expected

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He wouldn't have started this week but Aldweireld is injured

      1. Tangerine Army XI
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers, the Aldweireld news had bypassed me.

    Unless Austin scores, I badly need Newcastle and Burnley clean sheets today

  7. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Surely that senile old goat Redknapp will bring McCarthy in now

    1. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      To play centre back? Green wasn't at fault for either goal

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, cheers, damage was done last week when I picked the squad, should have gone simple with Clyne/Bertrand in hindsight. Ah well 🙂

        1. Demí
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Ah, that's a relief then then(obviously not good, but better as you couldn't have done anything about it).

          1. GreenWindmill
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

  24. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Just a heads-up - that Caulker goal should be an Adams own goal.

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Should be, but won't be.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        How come? 🙂

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Shot was on target, so counts as a goal, as stupid as it is.

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Ah - not from the angle I saw. Crouch got a touch as well. Adam touch turned it toward goal.

    2. Cheggers v2

      No

    4. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

        Caulker's goal, also officially:

        https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/football/premier-league/queens-park-rangers-stoke-city-14454/

        42' Caulker is credited with the goal and it’s suddenly all QPR.

      2. Whazza
        • 13 Years
