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.

    Lovren better be careful with head collisions. His head has a habit of going elsewhere.

      12 years, 1 month ago

      Obviously hope he's ok. Wouldn't wish a serious injury on him.

            Eff off.

        No, just no.

  2. Coaly
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Pelle or Welbeck for the next 5?

    1. Woy
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Pelle

    2. Qubit
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Both?

      1. Coaly
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Costa and Rooney other two, so for now only want one

        1. Qubit
          12 years, 1 month ago

          For the next 5. Pelle. Just.

    3. Lucy.
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Pelle for the next 2, then switch.

    4. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I will have both.

      1. Coaly
        12 years, 1 month ago

        If you had to pick one ...

    5. johnbarnes
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Pelle, but keep Arsenal midfield cover

      1. Coaly
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Midfield will be Sig Fab Sterling Di Maria, not seeing room for Ramsey or Sanchez in there ...

        1. johnbarnes
          12 years, 1 month ago

          I have a hunch that ADM>Ozil will be a popular transfer in 1 to 3 gws...

          1. Coaly
            12 years, 1 month ago

            You may be right. Would you pick Ramsey/Ozil over Di Maria now though?

            1. johnbarnes
              12 years, 1 month ago

              maybe not now, but over the season, I'd definitely pick Ramsey over ADM. I think FPL is a game of coverage, hedging your bets. If you have a Man U forward, don't double up with a midfielder from the same team, unless they're an unstoppable team (cf. Chelsea).

        2. johnbarnes
          12 years, 1 month ago

          people tend to forget he's still a world class player.

          1. Coaly
            12 years, 1 month ago

            I know he is and I'd like to have him but who would you drop?

            1. johnbarnes
              12 years, 1 month ago

              ADM or Sterling imo

              1. Coaly
                12 years, 1 month ago

                Sterling really? Agree with your point on coverage most of the time, but value form and Di Maria has better form and fixtures atm

                1. The Shadow
                  12 years, 1 month ago

                  MUN have 2nd toughest attacking fixtures over the next 6 according to the ticker. LIV much better.

  4. Prime
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Doesn't look good for Lovren.

    Nor for Liverpool if Toure is coming on

  5. Sebbo29

            12 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah, but they still have to play and can match pva's points. Colo has 0 pts...

        12 years, 1 month ago

        Yep, I was thinking about bringing him in this week but saved my FT in the end. Think I might well bring him in for Chester.

  10. Lucy.
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Saints fans - I know Lovren was a **** but a serious head injury isn't something to wish on someone.

  11. FPL Touches
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Ahhhhhh tits.

    I just got Lovren to replace Debuchy!!

    1. Revival

  12. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I have figured out who my new fifth midfielder is going to be!

    1. amol
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Downing?

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 1 month ago

        No, funnily enough. Slightly too pricey. Even for me.

        1. amol
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Noble?

            Not him, anyway!

    5. FPL Daniel
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Downing. His stats are off the chart

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 1 month ago

        See above. 🙂

        1. Prime
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Not Kouyate surely? I love the guy IRL as an Anderlecht fan, but for FPL I wouldn't touch him.

          1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    The word 'lol' should be banned from this site.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐

      lol

    2. Wirtzle Gummidge
      12 years, 1 month ago

      At least we don't get:

      "Where da mannnurrre at" over and over again.

      Unlike other sites.

      1. Gnu

        Like on Total Gangsta FPL?
        🙂

        1. Wirtzle Gummidge
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Yep, you can check the site day or night and it will be the same 4-5 talking garbage. Even Forca stopped posting there.

    3. Piggs Boson
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I would sign that petition.

    4. Bolivian Seaman
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Should we say Hardy ha ha instead? 😉

    5. Qubit

      I've said that before. Or more precisely lol@

    6. Andy1
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Can we get rid of dat over that too?

  16. Pooodle
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Quite tempted to wildcard for the following transfers. Would leave me with a midfield of Rambo, Fab, Di Maria, Sterling, Siggy. Thoughts?

    Begovic -> Forster
    Krul -> 4m
    Balinese -> Chambers
    Rio -> Duff
    Chester -> Moore
    Hazard -> Fab
    Mata -> Di Maria
    Marney -> Sterling
    Naismith -> 4.4m

    1. Pooodle
      12 years, 1 month ago

      "Balinese" = Baines!

    2. Andy1
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Who is Balinese?

      Will there be any 4.4m forwards

      1. Pooodle
        12 years, 1 month ago

        None that play but with those 5 in midfield I'll never play my 3rd striker

    3. Reedy
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't ship the Balinese!

      1. Pooodle
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Due a big haul...

  17. The Finnisher
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Now Sterling right back. 😆

    1. FPL Daniel
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Even better. Goal and assist upcoming obviously

    2. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 1 month ago

      i once got valencia and he played right back that match, i was fuming at my awful timing. anyway he got a goal and assist 🙂

  18. aree036
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Lovren is still alive, he might be back on to get his brace any minute

  19. EmreCan Hustle
    12 years, 1 month ago

    If Kolo Toure comes on for Lovren, WHM will be very happy.

  20. Billy Gilmore
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling RB now 😆

    1. Retrosynth
      12 years, 1 month ago

      So that should mean that if Liverpool don't concede again he should get a cleanie right??

      😉

  21. McSauce

  25. Jay Jay Okocha
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Absolutely shocking that Lovren is allowed to continue after that.

  26. Captain Shirokov
    12 years, 1 month ago

    West Ham are actually very good, who'd have thunk it?

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐

  27. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 1 month ago

      1. Hank da Silva
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Har, har. I'll take the one point.

  29. Frank Black
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Two Liverpool defenders headbutted each other and the one who got a concussion is the only one who can defend.

  30. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    West Ham already got 7 shots on target, hard to see Liverpool not conceding more
