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.

    Assist?

    1. PGR
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Nobody. He himself was fouled for the free-kick

        Cheers

      He got fouled in the first place I think

    With the disappearing spray, this is going to happen. Good kick, Nico.

  8. Captain Shirokov

      There was only Crouch or Caulker worth owning in this one

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Quite a number of people with Ferdinand and Stoke defenders too though

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

          fair point, not many in Team Australia, i hope

  9. tm245
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    About as good a result as can be hoped for as someone with no players in this match.

    1. The Chosen One...
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Apart from Caulker goal

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      This. That Caulker goal is frustrating though.

  10. Lanley Staurel

    • 15 Years

    Ohhh just come home and finally Caulker has delivered and on for 2 BAPs too. Marvelouso!

    No great love for qpr. But for all the grabbing and rough tactics. Lololol to Stoke.

    Disgusted that Begovic has conceded twice at this shower

  17. gdog2244

    Thoughts on Kranjcar as a prospect for 5 mil?

    I've wandered in and out of this game and still managed to catch all 4 goals. That never happens!

  20. Judeksi

    so it's 1 BP for Caulker then.. :/ well, better than nothing.

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      8 pts is a great innings

  21. Geordienufc1

    Imagine if QPR snatched it...

  22. Francescoli

  23. Sebbo29
    • 11 Years

    Caulker might still get 1 BAP?

    Kranjcar "Selected by:0.0%"

    lol. Bandwagon?

      If Harry has a fantasy team, Niko is definitely in it.

      Perfect goal then with no assist and negative point for Stoke defenders. He's 5.0m as well. Another one to join the list of budget mids to tempt and then to disappoint.

    3. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      848 people have him.

    That Michael Owen is a real "don't offend or predict anything bar the obvious type commentator".

    Before the second QPR goal: "QPR are one of those who will probably go down"
    After the second QPR goal: "One goal is never enough in the premier league"

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Plus he has a horrible voice.

      A truly woeful commentator

    2. Cheggers v2

      QPR might go down but they might stay up

      Caulker to finish on 7 (after BAPs) in a 2-2 draw

      😆

      1. PGR
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        8, right?

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

          you are right, 8

          as good as a CS and 2 BAPs 😆

        Not happy about that a fair few people will have him in the UFPL game.

        1. Exilizer
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Got him there but not in FPL 🙁

          2 pts from 2.... diabolical start. Stoke being absolutely useless!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        I thought it looked like an own goal -- Caulker heads it, Crouch hits it home. I wonder if that one will be revised...
