Saturday continues with a quartet of matches, featuring Arsenal and an array of budget and mid-price Fantasy talent.

The Gunners trip to a resolute Aston Villa will likely be the headline act on show: Arsene Wenger’s men will look to recover from the midweek Champions League defeat to Dortmund against Paul Lambert’s resurgent midlands outfit. Alongside that, we’ve an enthralling encounter at the Liberty Stadium as Swansea and Southampton prepare to press and weave patterns around the South Wales pitch.

Elsewhere, Alan Pardew will look to extend his stay of execution at Newcastle via a winnable home clash with Hull City, while Burnley go in search of their first three points back in the top flight as Gus Poyet’s erratic Sunderland unit pull up to Turf Moor.

We may well be discussing some very meagre Fantasy points tallies by 4.50, as we prepare to make our way to East London to check in on West Ham’s progress, as they host Brendan Rodgers’ title pretenders, Liverpool.

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

    villa's sanchez looks like a member of the public who won a competition to play a premier league game. absolutely brutal beyond belief. roy keane might literally kill him at half time

  2. big oak

    11 years, 5 months ago

    bony out for only 1 game (2 yellows)

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No games due to Capital One Cup? Are Swansea in it?

    2. MJ6987

      Still enough for most owners to lose patience I think

        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        The -2 is enough

    Anyone fancy a fifa tournament for xbox one? Reply if u want to with your gamer tag. Max teams 4 we each play each other once and top two in finals

    Time to do Ramsey -> Cesc before he comes up against Spurs and Chelsea?
    Cesc with AVL at home.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      yep, villa shocking defensively

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        😆

      2. Randy_Marsh
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Last week they were the best defence

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      am thinking about Fabs in for my first hit of the season

    3. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I took Ramsey out during my WC last week, opting for Welbeck up front, and DiMaria in place of Ramsey. A strangely rare good decision on my part.

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

      One could argue that Arsenal likely to score as many goals as Chelsea next week, and usually Ramsey is more involved than Fabregas?

      1. Gimli son of Gloin
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I'm by no means saying I need to get rid of Ramsey, I think he'll continue to score well. Just getting a few opinions. Cesc looks to be magical this season though, and Chelsea look like they're capable of scoring 3/4/5 goals weekly.
        Think Arsenal vs Spurs will be pretty tight with Vert and Fazio at CB hopefully.

        1. vice
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Go with your gut mate, that's the way of playing FPL with these close decisions. 😉

    Ufpl dilemma

    Who to keep on the bench costa or Naismith

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Naismith

    2. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Costa every time

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        To keep on the bench?

      2. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        On the bench???

        1. Mull
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Play him

    3. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Costa

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Play?

        1. Reedy
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Bench (on this occasion)

    4. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Naismith probably. Lower potential/potential to lose ground as Costa is massively owned. I've got to leave one of Costa, Aguero and Adebayor on mine. Naismith didn't even make my bench.

      😯

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah but guess you aint got many playing today - You got one helluva squad tomorrow

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Got 10 playing today. But yeah, only Welbeck up front. 2 of those strikers, Cesc, ADM, DDG, Chadli and Vertonghen tomorrow.

    5. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Same position , will see if Falcao starts then flip a coin.

  6. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Time to get Welbeck...

    1. Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      yawn

  7. Tommy J
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Eventually got rid of Bojan this week-was tempted with Naismith but went for Welbeck-at last a good decision!

  8. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Why Bony got red card? 🙂

    1. mipola
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Because he got 2 yellows

  9. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    SIGGY's goal and Swansea win 1-0 would be perfect.

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      With Forster subbed off at 60 minutes

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        So much this

    2. The Finnisher
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Would love a 0-0

    3. Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Nearly everyone taking the game serious has Siggy so it's kinda pointless

  10. nikobg
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    happy about Welbeck, it was very important for him to score asap. but damn i should've captained him.

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I feel the same, I was going to do it but then thought just having him was differential enough!

  11. RyanC
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Quite excited to keep hold of Hazard for the Villa (H) game next week now. Could be THE week!

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Eden "Flatters to deceive'' Hazard

      1. RyanC
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        He's due a big haul, and home to Villa looks like perfect Haz opportunity.

        If not, probably time to shift out.

  12. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Come on Rambo, get in on the points too!

    Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! 😀

  13. rickardinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Shocking weekend so far.

    Sold Caulker.
    Begovic 2 with Krul on the bench on a CS
    Ramsey 1
    Chambers 0
    Tadic 1
    Clyne 1
    Siggy 1

    This has to turn around quickly or I could have a shocker

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Chambers and Clyne on for a CS and it's only the halves.

      Keep your chin up 😉

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      It's half time. Christ.

    3. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Welcome to a normal FPL saturday.

  14. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Tadic look like doing anything?

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Nah

    2. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Everything is down Southampton's left, but on all of Southamptons opportunity's (there weren't many) he would have had the pass before the assist with Bertrand getting the assist. Hopefully he can get in the box more 2nd half.

  15. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Lot of people will be eating their words about Welbeck I think.

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Fpl wise the coming bandwagon will benefit non owners imo

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Which crowd you referring to?

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        People on here after last weekend and midweek saying they can't understand why people bought him.

    3. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      everyone was laughing at me when i posted my team with him C. now whos laughing

      lol

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I remember that last night, on that very same page I asked if captaining Welbz was a viable option and everyone shouted no. the difference between you and I is that you had the stones to actually go ahead with it...Very well dome

      2. Hank da Silva
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yep, well done. Today's show is wonderfully ironic given the inordinate amount of moronic vitriol Welbeck invites on here.

      3. Randy_Marsh
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        We could be laughing tomorrow

    4. Goodfella
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Eating their words?

      Most people know Welbeck is a good player, he's just inconsistent and has some pub league quality moments.

  16. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Really need naylor cleanie and a goal from Swansea. Looks like it's gonna end up being the opposite

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, that red of bony has ruined it. Swans could have been 3-0 by now.

  17. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    So now thinking of this

    Naismith and Ramsey ➡ Kun and Cesc (-4)

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      7m in the bank?

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, he does.

    2. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good

  18. Texas Pete
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Got the strangest feeling this is going to be another sub-par week. League leader has a 50 point lead and wellbeck. The title is slipping.

    1. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      On the plus side though Leeds 2-0 up.

  19. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    https://vine.co/v/OWYHiU2JEWb

    https://vine.co/v/OWYdt0tXTPA

    Great goals from Ronaldo and James!

  20. rickardinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Caught between wanting Siggy to score and Clyne to get a CS. Clyne hasn't been attacking at all, its been all down the left with Tadic and Bertrand.

    1. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      feck. u got both or clyne? i went for clyne over bertrand.

  21. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Janmaat and/or PVA getting forward?

  22. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Worth to do Ramsey and Mahrez to Fabregas and Boyd for -4?

    Already have Hazard

    1. Donnie Brasco´s
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Nemoj!

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Msm da i nemam potrebe da menjam,sta ti mislis? 🙂 Za sledecu nedelju

        Foster (Krul)
        Cahill / Naylor / Clyne (Moore,Ferdinand)
        Hazard / Ramsey / Sterling / Siggy / Mahrez
        Aguero (C) / Costa (Naismith

        1. Donnie Brasco´s
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Umjesto Hazarda stavi Di Mariju.....
          i to je to.....

    2. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      And Costa? I'd say three chelsea attackers is a bit too much.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Ohh..silly me..I forgot I already have 4 Chelsea players

  23. Nicks93
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Would you use your FT to do

    A) Chester>Bertand
    B) Naismith> Pelle

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Bertrand is awesome yes. Wouldn't drop Naismith just yet

    3. Nicks93
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Cheers guys

  24. Fiz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Captained Bony. Might as well give up now

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      🙁 very unlucky

  25. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Prior to today Bony only ever had 4 yellows in 54 games 😡 !!!

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      So u are Bony owner?

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Was.

  26. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Devastated that Costa is my captain. I swore I put it on Roomey.

    1. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      S'alright. I put it on Rooney, therefore blank incoming.

    2. Clam. ☘️
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Exact same thing happened to me! I was 100% sure.

    3. Kerrazy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Calm yo tits the city game is not even today

    4. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Costa can score anywhere

    5. vice
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      You accidentally made the right decision, congrats.

  27. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Bony is such a twat. I took a hit to do Young > Dyer to avoid playing Gayle. Siggy + Dyer in bad shape now :/

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Rarely you see a striker getting two yellows for fouling a center back twice.

      1. rickardinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Fonte and Yoshida deserved to be sent off too. Ashley Williams has been his usual cnutish self too

  28. CTID_
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    how will bonys red effect Sigurdsson?

    1. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      He'll get played as a striker at the top of a 441

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        He won't, Gomis will replace Bony.

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          He is talking about saints game secnd half I think

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        No he won't. Gomis will play up to. Siggy in the hole

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          There won't be a hole with 10 men.

    2. Neville's Advocate
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      He won't be able to pass to Bony anymore

  29. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I knew i had to bench Sigurdsson for Naismith....shame on me.

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Siggy could/should have had goal & assist.

  30. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I know I'm late but...

    WELBECK!!!!!!!!!
