After a subdued Saturday programme, Sunday explodes on us with veritable feast of football featuring five of last season’s top seven sides. While Chelsea’s visit to the Etihad at tea-time is undoubtedly the headline act, we’ve plenty to keep us engaged until the 4pm kick-off.

The day begins with a pair of fixtures, with Leicester looking to continue their impressive start to their campaign against Louis van Gaal’s United redux, whilst at the Lane, Spurs will be seeking to dish out further punishment to a West Brom side that’s faltered out of the blocks so far.

That’s rounded off by the main event in Manchester, with Everton’s Goodison clash with Crystal Palace running alongside it. Fantasy managers look set for a eventful afternoon,then, with the day’s events potential turning Gameweek fortunes on their head.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news and key injury updates as the night draws in and Gameweek 5 draws to a close.

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

  7. Pooodle

      1. Pooodle
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        What would you recommend? Maybe just Mata -> Sterling? Annoyingly can't see an easy way of getting Di Maria in for him...

        1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Hazard and Mata to Two of Fábregas, Sterling and ADM

    Bank = 0.2
    FT = 2

    A) Dummett > Moore (save 1FT)

    B) Dummett & Ramsey > Baines & Chadli

    C) Krul > ?

    D) Sell an FT to the highest bidder

    1. Pooodle
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Dummet -> Duff?

      1. Mojo Rojo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Hmmm perhaps... he's 36 though. Not sure he'll keep his place as the season progresses

  9. The Ginga Ninja

    Sanchez and Rooney -> Falcao and Aguero

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Alexis Sanchez is a mid...

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        What about De Gea > Aguero?

        1. 4vets
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I'd do Krul > Kun !

    2. big oak
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      and next week you will want falcao>>> rooney?
      one of falcao and rooney should be there
      falcao seems to be injury prone but explosive
      rooney is more consistent and more guaranteed starts
      id go for di maria :p

    1. Rats Ass
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Don't know what the bookies think but I'd say pretty good.

  25. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    As I expected, Leicester getting in Utd's faces and giving it a go, denying them space. as a result, Utd looking ordinary.

    If they're watching this every QPR player should be thoroughly and utterly ashamed of their 'performance' at Old Trafford last weekend.

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
