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.

    Is Green to Forster worth a 4 pt hit?

    1. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      lol

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Not for immediate returns.

    3. rickardinho

      11 years, 7 months ago

      Only if its for very long-term. Remember that you're essentially giving away a CS there

    4. Il Gladiatore
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yes - if you don't have a second starting keeper. You'll get the points back and more over the next few games

    Why is Coutnho not in the squad?

    1. Something Clever
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Cos there's no 'i' in 'team'. Or Coutnho.

  3. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Attacking side from West Ham that. No chance of a Pool cleanie.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      They're good..in fact they'll win..

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Should be an entertaining match.

    Time to ship Ramsey?

    1. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      he will get a brace vs. tottenham to spite you

    2. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Especially when ADM has a barnstormer tomorrow

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Think so.

  5. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Am I the only one not confident Rooney owner? My fingers over him are itchy

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

  6. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    As usual people on here crowing about their good scores (only natural) but when i look around the top 1000 league, the average is quite low, so dont worry if you not on many at this stage

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

      As usually you're a ****.

      I've got Ade (C) too

      22 from 4

      Sterling, Cesc, Costa, Aguero, Baines and Chadli to go.

      Chin up. You can always viist your UCL team page 😀

      1. pundit of punts

        Haha...true that.

  9. Golden Oldies

    Is Bony banned for Sunderland game?

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

      League Cup midweek I think so no.

  10. GreennRed
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Boring boring Burnley 😉

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Just the way I like them. 😀

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Good for FPL 😀

    3. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Good for anyone with Duff and Heaton

  11. Texas Pete
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    .1 away from Rambo to ADM. 🙁

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Can Pelle not rise tonight ? I want to bring him in, but want to wait tomorrows game

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah I'll let him know not to. No post-match sex allowed.

    2. RyanC
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Doubt he'll rise tonight

    3. KenJM
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Close call - he has risen 16,292 today and now is on + 91.3% - on balance he should not go up tonight but will, I think, go up Sunday night. There are lots of managers that use the FT on Saturday evenings and it does skew the transfer market.
      Hope this helps.....

  13. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Hands up if you only hold Ramsey because your too scared to sell him?
    Less guts than a scotsman

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      wow you are making alot of posts today

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        A lot of crap posts you mean

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      What is wrong with you?

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Didn't found any proper replacement, thats why...

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I'm holding because he has position, he has history, and he has plenty of shots and created plenty of chances every game.

    5. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      nope, he's going this week

      gotta get Fabregas in

    6. WINNING!
      • 13 Years

      a wise man walks with his head bowed. Humble like the dust

    7. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      And here's number 3

  14. Puyol Self Together
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Ramsey & Siggy >> ADM & Chadli

    Worth it? Would get me extra points tomorrow at least, but long term?

    Maybe to knee-jerky, but Ram & Sig not on top form just now!

    1. Large Hardon Colluder
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I assume you aren't talking FPL? If you are, transfers made today will not count until next gameweek.

  15. Arsenal Deli
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Saying your points total is a disaster with 6 of the big 7 teams still to play is a bit silly...

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Points in pocket are better than nothing 😉

  16. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Should have played Duff over Shawcross

  17. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Arsenal completed 741 passes today, most by any team over the last 2 seasons. Via: Football News

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Ozil effect

  18. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Bego owners sticking or dumping his ass

    1. Arsenal Deli
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Bego -> Forster

    2. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Bego>Krul 😀

      1. Chelsea Dagger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Bego > Mannone or Heaton.

  19. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling in the hole today. Hopefully it pays off.

  20. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez, Bony & Ade -> Sterling, Costa & Pelle (4 points)

    And yes I have Bony and yes I don't have Costa. And yes I am bitter about this.

  21. In Bale We Trust
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Pieters really p***ing me off. Have 2 fts this week and have no other pressing issues. Shipping him to Bertrand to double on Southampton a good idea?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I don't mind that. Stoke are annoying and dull, and soton are at least fun and enjoyable to watch.

    2. The Shoonchy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I'm on the same boat, first it was Begovic and for last 2 weeks, it has been Wilson
      Really beginning to hate Stoke now

  22. Kevin.The.Brain
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Krul Foster
    Cahill Moreno Van Anholt (Wisdom, Bruce)
    Ramsey Mata Sterling Siggy (Albrighton)
    Costa Rooney Pelle

    want to make 3 transfers..
    Krul OUT Heaton IN
    Mata OUT Fabregas IN
    Bruce OUT Duff IN

    what should I do? take -8 hit? or -4 this week and change one of Bruce/Krul next week?

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I'd move Krul and Bruce now, wait until the ManU game tomorrow. If Mata doesn't do well and Fab doesn't get hurt, i'd make that move as well. If Mata plays well, hold off on that move.

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    @GB I answered regarding your question

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Fair enough. It's more fun to play with your gut.

      I played with my head last season and it's not as enjoyable.

  24. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Chances of Rooney, Di Maria, Costa, Lamela not playing this GW?

    Clyne 1st sub.

    1. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      0%

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, thought so.

  25. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    off to pub to support sterling and moreno and hope liverpool lose, love FPL

  26. aree036
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Is MOSES perhaps the best 5.something midfielder available?

    Anyone watch the stoke game and disagree he has decent points in him?

    1. aree036
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I expect he would outscore Schneiderlin over a season

  27. The Iron Tulip
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Krul > Heaton?

    1. aree036
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      would seem a waste of a transfer in my mind

    2. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      As long as not taking a point hit, yet. Krul can't keep a clean sheet

  28. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Transferred in Naylor instead of Bertrand
    PVA on bench
    Played Krul over Courtois
    Benched Fab instead of Ramsey.

    When does the new cricket season start?

  29. skodaole2
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Great week so far with Mannone and Caulker, despite Ramsey, Sigurdsson and Rangel 2 pointers. Would you wildcard this?

    Mannone, Krul
    Caulker, Bardsley, Moore, Rangel, Moreno
    Ramsey, Mata, Sigurdsson, Lamela, Albrighton
    Adebayor, Rooney, Lukaku

  30. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Have 2 freebies:

    Krul to froster 1 of them?

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

      I would.

    2. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Krul to Mannone or Heaton.
