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.

    poor Caulker owners.

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

      Poor Caulker captainers too 🙁

    2. MJ6987

      I'm sure none got him with clean sheets in mind.

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

        Nah, I defo didn't. Was on Pornhub at the time!

    3. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      more need to attack now though

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

      We deserve it. A QPR defender; what were we thinking?!

    5. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      And us Rob Green owners?

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

        no excuses

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

        And us double QPR-ers

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          😯

        2. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          OMG!! I didn't realize there were double QPR-ers.

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

            One day it will pay off 😛

      3. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        can rot in hell

        😛

    6. Richd
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Credit to Caulker, he's got 2 and 6 points in the games people have more likely played him...

  2. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Caulker is always in there isn;t he

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

      i.e. in the opponent's box

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      oioi

  3. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    End to end stuff at Loftus Road 😆

  4. Willis.
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Give it Pieters you muppet!!

  5. fatherted
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Worried already that I went Mannone over Bego.

    Ho hum

    1. The Finnisher
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't be. QPR look like they'll score the way things are going, and I've played Wilson.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        25 minutes into a match is more than enough time for an FFSer to overreact 🙂

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      That 0.5 is useful elsewhere.

      Mannone should pick up some save points.

  6. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Cue an Austin goal before HT

  7. Cheggers v2
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    QPR could get thumped here

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Do Stoke do thumpings?

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

        2-0 is a 'stoke thumping'

  8. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    QPR are last years Fulham, captain any players you have who are playing them. I'm captaining Tadic next week.

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

      You must have had a bad year. I just captained Suarez.

    2. Fray Bentos
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Not costa? brave

  9. Bobby
    • 16 Years

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years

    2. MJ6987

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years

    3. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Evs?

      1. Bobby
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Ok. I have several questions for him. When is he on here normally and does he normally respond to mere mortals?

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Yes, but I'm off in the shower in a tick 🙂

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

            Maybe one of his questions is can he shower with you?

            1. Evs
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

              He better get a move on then 🙂

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

            11 years, 4 months ago

            Oh right well I don't really want to ask you when you haven't got any clothes on. However I need your help so I will. In short my team - krul, Ivan, clyne, caulker, Williams, haz, sterling, siggs, Ramsey, costa, Rooney. What changes would you make so I am no longer rubbish . I will follow blindly whatever you say.

    4. Tommytour
      • 15 Years

      Ask Triggerlips

    5. The Finnisher

          • 14 Years

          Someone's gotta keep you down to earth with us plebs

      Daniel Wangshaft is one the finest.

    7. Danos96
      • 12 Years

      RonH

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

        He doesn't really qualify as 'on this site'. Where is he anyway?

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          He said he was banned apparently.

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

            Shame

      2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        didn't he just have one or two good seasons?

  10. Prime
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    This is definitely enforcing the "United only looked good casue they played against QPR" statements.

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

      Which is why I went Ade

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

        And I went Aguero 🙂

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      This weekend will be a good test of that.

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      My delight was based less on the goals and more the general play, it was faster, more precise and just overall better than it had been.

  11. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Need a QPR goal now!

  12. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Arvin-ation

  13. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    To Green owners. Still time for Walters to miss a penalty and Green to get a save. He could come in 😉

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

      I hate to break it to you but Walters isn't there.

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Crikey, are they still letting him take pens?!

  14. AlCapwnUK
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    A Diouf goal? Well bugger me, glad I didn't swap him for Ulloa even if i missed the price rise

    1. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Nice one 🙂

  15. Az

    Adebayor - - > Pelle (c) next week.
    Caulker - - > Bertrand

    QPR are going down. Ferdinand cannot defend with no pace and the team looks a mess.

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

      Doing the same Ade move but will captain Costa

  16. Djerbil
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    One of those games where both Teams are so bad that the Match itself becomes good

  17. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Not many options today so went ShawX captain in UFPL safe in knowledge I can Switch to Costa or Aguero tomorrow

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I play normal fpl and I have gone for adebayor!!!!! Let's hope he saves my season!!!

    2. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Welbeck > Rooney for me

  18. Richd
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    What are the league codes for FFS and members?

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

      FFS code is on the homepage

      Members code is in the members section

  19. 50shades of o'shea
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Ohhhh crouch

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Moses is looking lively.

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

        Shh don't tell Mark

  20. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I could really do with Stoke's clean sheet getting soiled. I can't bring myself to cheer on any team containing Joey Barton though...

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He's down right now.

    2. 50shades of o'shea
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He's off

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Perfect time for a Barton injury so 😉

    4. Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      as Total FPL folks love to say : Barton Dead

  21. Willis.
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Hmm good view of Joey Barton there

  22. Mr Wizard
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Were there any price rises this morning?

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

      I think Costa has.

  23. 50shades of o'shea
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Omg nico :()

  24. Willis.
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Ooooohhhh

  25. Richd
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Who's got a nicer bum?

    A) John Stones
    B) Sergio Aguero
    C) Tim Howard

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

      Hazard

    2. Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Arshavin had the best one

  26. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone else captain Ulloa this week?

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

      Wouldn't have thought so

  27. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Kranjcar knows what's up. Pop shots from now on, as Begovic can't make more than 1 save so whatever is on target from now on goes in.

  28. JJO
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    So the main q for Bego owners is
    Will he save that 1 shot on goal or not 🙂 ?

  29. Saniul
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Last week. Eriksen.
    This week. Diouf.

    Looks like patience is finally paying me off this season.

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

      How's your draft team doing?

      We don't choose captains right?

  30. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    How does Moses get into this Stoke team?
