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.

  1. Kevin Twine
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Fecking knew I'd pick the wrong one out of Clyne and Bertrand

    1. Woy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      you wont have been the only one. unlucky

    2. Dogba
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Ouch 🙁 Didn't I even recommend Bert? I've got Clyne firmly placed on my bench (!)

      1. Kevin Twine
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Ha, yes you did. I did some deep looking at the stats and they swayed towards Bertrand, tbf. Oh well

    3. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Same 😐

  2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    feck off naylor

  3. SC not pearls before swine
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Gotta keep pelle for qpr but then he may got to go. That was so frustrating to watch. So many chances.

  4. Son is Rising
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    5 players getting 3 baps in the Burnley Sun match?

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

      No brown on 31

      1. Son is Rising
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        ahh just spotted that cheers

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

      Will probably change as they take of points for being dispossessed etc.

  5. harrysponge
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ramsey ---> ADM for free tonight?

    just got enough ITB... will he rise tonight?

    1. Benteke10
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Nope

  6. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Pelle is a bit of a donkey. But he plays up front in a good side that create plenty of chances. Almost by default he will return points

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

      So he's a shittier version of Giroud?

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

        Perfect

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

        That's not a good sign

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

          You don't need to tell me 😀

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

        Yes! I think that's a fair assessment 😛

    2. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I really don't care as long as the goals come from somewhere 😀

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

        Indeed! We are flying! (Got lucky with the red card today)

      2. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Real shame about JWP, Lucy. What's the word on him right now? 🙁

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

      Very similar to Giroud. He's not very good but'll score a lot.

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yup. Giroud Lite.

    4. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Watched the second half today, thought he made good use of what skills he has(mainly holding the ball up) and knows his limitations.

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

        Not sure why people are complaining. He is what he is

        1. SC not pearls before swine
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          It's more just that as an owner I get excited and then so very very sad. Like that touch on the ball from tadic...

          1. Lucy.
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Just gotta take the good with the bad.

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

          Tadic owners will be the people who are complaining. Me included.

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

          Agreed. I don't know why people are so surprised. He nicks goals every now and then. He was the same in Holland. Nobody has ever pretended he's some kind of super skilful striker.

  7. Wouter
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Got Clyne on the bench...

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

      And Duff too. 🙁

      1. Prince of Persia
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Oh

      2. Woy
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Ouch!

  8. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Duff, PvA and Caulker doing well.

    Ramsey, Siggy and Krul less so.

    Sterling could do me a big favour here.

  9. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    4 blankers so far(Begovic, Rio, Siggy & Rambo)

    What's up with Ramsey?

  10. Slacker
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Why doesn't Chester start anymore?!

  11. Proggy
    • 12 Years

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

          Clyne on the bench though 🙁

          This is 2nd time this season I have done that...Ivanovic better match him

    2. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      24 here, I think that's a little above average though

    3. Vardy Gras PBFC
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      16 from 5. 8 on the bench.

    4. mipola
      • 13 Years

      No its way below average.you should quit fpl.

    Coloccini got me a big fat 0. Arghhhhh.

    1. The Team Principal
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I've got Coloccini and Pieters!

  13. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    chill people

    taylor was a good pick, you couldn't predict a bony send off, and if they had 11 Swansea would have prob kept a CS

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Console yourself that those arguing against you are poor players

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

        Did call it though 😉 http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/8337122

      2. mgilbert86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        not arguing here myself, just think some shouldn't beat up on themselves

    2. Vardy Gras PBFC
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Logical. I went Taylor over Clyne for home team advantage. Can't predict a Bony sending off.

  14. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    How long are non Welbeck owners going to wait?
    Sure to be a double rise this week

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      😆 What a relief eh, trig.

    2. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Welbz got Chelsea up - Pelle got QPR .... difficult one

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

      Back to your, price inflation antics again Triggy boy

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

      I'm fine with costa rooney pelle, may get welbeck gw8 on wildcard if he still looks good

    5. The Team Principal
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'm going to wait until after Spurs and Chelsea and hope Pelle can produce the goods until then.

    6. dr manhattan
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Spurs next week and Chelsea the week after. I'm in no rush, especially with Pelle in that spot for me

    7. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'm ok thanks mate, I don't want no joke donkey striker.

  15. The Team Principal
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    3 Burnley clean sheets in a row. The defenders are flying under the radar!

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Trippier 😎

  16. Zombie
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Triple saints defense & Welbeck is the way to go!!!

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

      If you rewind time.

  17. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Looks like Southampton defense is great value...I ignored it last season, maybe time to rectify.

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I think so! 😉

  18. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Well that Wanyama toe poke was a real sucker punch. Cost me a CS and 3 BAPs.

    🙁

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

      Same. 🙁 Extremely disappointed right now.

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

      Got Clyne into the BPS for me.

      Sold Caulker and played Clyne instead so I'm delighted it worked out well. Naylor on my bench was a great decision in the end 🙂

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        And yet my D will still outscore yours this week. 😀

    3. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Removed 3 Swansea defenders from the baps and gave them to Southampton defenders. Looked lovely until Wanyama racked up his bps score.

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    12 pts from 5. Any good?

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

      Nope 😛

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

      I'm 21 from 5 excluding BPS. Shame Naylor had to concede. Also have Duff and Clyne on the bench...

      1. FPL Notebook (John)
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I'm 35 from 5. Duff and Bertrand on bench :/

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

      rocking good form

    4. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'm also 12 from 5 - looking like another abysmal GW for me

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

    Glad with the CS with Tadic and Clyne, but I wish Pelle wasn't so shite with the ball at his feet. Tadic could have had 2 assists at the end there.

    7 points from Ramsey, Tadic, and Siggy is hugely disappointing, though I'd imagine many others are in a similar position. Thankfully I had Clyne and Chambers to save the day somewhat.

    Btw, Wanyama getting 3bps ahead of Clyne? Absolute bol locks right there

  21. FPL Notebook (John)
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    33 from 5 😀
    Hopefully Liverpool can trounce West Ham as well!

  22. PGR
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Every time Jose says Costa is a doubt, he ends up starting and scoring. Now that Jose has said Costa is going to start, I hope he doesn't actually play!

    Clyne first sub 🙁

  23. RÏɠBY
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    okay MARIO.. let's hit this.. show how the diffs come to light

  24. Koflok
    • 13 Years

    Still waiting for Caulker's goal to be changed as OG

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      was on target, you'll be waiting a long time

    2. Woy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      wont happen

  25. applebonkers

    expected mannone to beat krul but not by 9 points!

    1. Matt Sk
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I gambled this week on Foster -> Heaton (-4) 😉

    2. Prince of Persia

      🙁

  26. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Best goalie combo for 10m? Currently have bego and McCarthy but it's not really worling

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

      As it looks now Southampton def is the most tempting in imo...

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

      mignolet + krul

      1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
        • 15 Years

        Krul?

  27. Honeybadger
    • 11 Years

    Chica 2 goals in 13 min, good for him...

    A big feck you goes to you Mr Coloccini.

    Disappointed PVA and Colo had their shots blocked/saved.

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

    as defensive points go I'll take 6,9 and 8, especially after my defensive nightmares last season.

    27 with 6 to play if BAPs are right
