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.

    Rodgers the genius playing sterling rb

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

      Why first bench then put your best player on RB? Already loosing it. It seems Suarez made him overrated manager

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years

        This

  2. Jack Frost

    I predict... five years... half of players will wear light headgear. Seems like a head injury of some sort in every game.

    I'm confused. Sakho appears to be playing for WH and LIV.

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

      Striker vs defender. Confusing eh?

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

        Enough for me.

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

    No offence to West ham who have been brilliant so far, but Liverpool fans must be worried about facing more illustrious opponents on the back of yet another poor defensive display.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Their defence is beyond redemption, imo.

      1. Wirtzle Gummidge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Kolo "Ground Smasher" Toure says otherwise.

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

        can you imagine what Real Madrid will do to them

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

        I should have listened

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

    All Liverpool CB are good in air and somehow Liv are awful at defending set pieces. Somehow I don't get it. Someone to enlighten me? They can't position that bad or can they?

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

      No leadership after Carragher left. Defence all over the place. Ridiculous to watch most of the time.

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

        GK is very dodgy too.

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

      Zonal marking

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

        That could be the answer

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

        Yeah, no marking at set pieces at all. Horrible.

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

    Can't see Sterling doing much at RWB. Yeah I know he scored straight away, but he's usually one of their furthest forward players, that was half his appeal!

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

      It's not gonna be for every game and he's already got a goal for this game.

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

        Exactly..

      2. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thank goodness for in-depth post-match analysis.

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

        I need more than one goal the way this GW's going 😆

        He looks like has has no defensive duties though. That'll help their already shaky defence

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

          Maybe BR's just said

          'feck it, we can't defend for sheet so let's just try and score"

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

            Seems that way to me 😛

          2. Mílanista

            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Thought that was his game plan every week.

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

        Exactly.

      6. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Exactly.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years

          Exactly

        lucy u know ur stuff regarding the saints whats ur take on this pelle bloke he has scored a few goals obviously and has a great run of fixtures coming up but iv really not seen enough of him myself to make a solid judgement.. u reckon he is worthy of investment for the next few weeks?

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

          I think he's rubbish at converting but he gets a lot of chances. With QPR next, I'm very tempted.

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

            thanks im tempted myself wouldnt touch welbeck with a bargepole

        And you thought it was serious? Lol. Says more about you than me 😆

    Damn. Lovren wasn't seriously injured.

    1. The Finnisher

      Balo to Rooney

    2. Lucy.

      Wait for tomorrow's game?

    3. sully29

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge

      Sunderland.

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

        Played today?

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

      West Ham by the look of things.

  12. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Lovren gone this week. Knew I should have done Lovren to Clyne or Bertrand this week but didn't do it. It was never a bad decision to save but that's my first mistake this season. Hope its one of very few this season.

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

      'first mistake this season'. Wow. What rank are you? 😮

      1. Ady87
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        6k. And I got there mistake free at least in my own opinion.

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

      keep lovren. tasty fixtures coming up

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

        On paper, Villa at home and West Ham away are 'tasty' fixtures. Pool defence is a shambles.

    3. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      its not a mistake as it is the correct decision to save..a mistake is when u make non-sensible move

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

    Did Sakho come on for both Manquillo and Borini?

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

      No Borini is on loan

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

        No, Borini is back at Liverpool, he;s playing!

        1. La Roja
          • 13 Years

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

          Could've fooled me.

      3. Qubit
        • 16 Years

        Much point having him if you're benching him away to villa?

        • 13 Years

        i would of done the same thing to be fair and from what im led to believe he should of scored on a couple of occasions

        1. Rats Ass
          • 16 Years

        I think that you did the right thing, from the available information.

    • tm245
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I usually get five or six blanks per gw but it is pretty overwhelming to get five in a row on Saturday afternoon. Hopefully Sterling scoring means I already got my fill.

      Costa (c) is looking to be a major differential around these parts...

    • FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      I think my casual rival will get Clyne next week because he is top for defenders. Too bad he is on my bench 🙁 The differential pts are over 🙁

      1. FPL Daniel

      Bury top of League 2 😎

      Never expected us to be doing this well, though we had too many new players to introduce, thought play-offs at best

      It may not last but given where we were just over 12 months ago it's a heck of a turn-around. Well done David Flitcroft

      1. RÏɠBY
        • 14 Years
