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.

    Pelle had 6 shots in the box yesterday 😯

    1. Rambo Motin

      Is that good?

      1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        12 years, 1 month ago

        90% of PL goals this season have come from inside the box...now he just has to score 😉

    2. Yome
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Captain against QPR 🙂

      1. Twelve years a slave
        12 years, 1 month ago

        But he missed them all

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          12 years, 1 month ago

          😆

        2. Yome
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Doesn't matter, he shots loads and will eventually score

          1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭

            That ain't necessarily so.

            1. Piggs Boson
              12 years, 1 month ago

              His scoring record shows he has the finishing capability in him somewhere. I'm sure he'll improve.

            2. Yome
              12 years, 1 month ago

              2 goals and 1 assist so far in 2 games in really good. He will come even better

            Adel Taarabt says hello.

            1. Venom Snake

              Townsend says heya

              1. tm245
                12 years, 1 month ago

                Forgot about the other AT...

    3. Piggs Boson
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Terrific positioning and runs. If he improves his finishing he'll be deadly. Great aerial threat as well.

    4. Yes Don
      12 years, 1 month ago

      he's dog poo. Proper donkey.

  2. M.I.A.
    12 years, 1 month ago

    How's Ade looked so far?

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      12 years, 1 month ago

      MIA

      1. M.I.A.
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Lol oh dear! He's my captain as well

        1. tm245
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Same here. He has the class to turn it around so here's hoping...

    2. Lingardium Leviosa.
      12 years, 1 month ago

      almost won a penalty...for WBrom

      1. Birds of Prey
        12 years, 1 month ago

        so can only get better

    3. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Just like he has all season...weird.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Hes a frustrating FF player. A drunk dyspraxic giraffe in real life. Just stay away.

    4. M.I.A.
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds like I should've kept the armband on Aguero

  3. Simon69
    12 years, 1 month ago

    People taking Moreno out.. Who are you getting as a replacement?

    1. Yome
      12 years, 1 month ago

      PVA to afford ADM

    2. Sting
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone. A Spurs defender or double Southampton

      1. Simon69
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Have double Southampton. Have 6.0 but can't make a decision...

        1. HamezMace
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Watch mangala today

          1. Simon69
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Good call.

    3. Jebiga
      12 years, 1 month ago

      They will be punished. Oop

      1. Simon69
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Punished for getting rid? Pool look terrible at the back. 5.5 is a lot for a player who doesn't look like keeping a cleanie any time soon

  4. Sting
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Balotelli + Naismith > Ulloa + Falcao ?

  5. BenDavies
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Should I start Ulloa or Sterling next week?
    As you can probably tell by the question I have an embarrassment of riches for next week.

    1. Birds of Prey
      12 years, 1 month ago

      sterling

    2. johnbarnes
      12 years, 1 month ago

      no, sterling in the derby will shine. Liverpool can't lose it

      1. Jax
        12 years, 1 month ago

        they've lost 3 out of 5 so yes they could

  6. Paul Scholes -- True tackli…
    12 years, 1 month ago

    pelle, ulloa or welbeck
    money not an issue

    1. Yome
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Pelle, Saints are rocking atm

    2. Darth
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Pelle f

      1. Darth
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Pelle for now, then switch to welbeck.

    3. Nice to Finally Michu
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Welbz

  7. Demí
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Diego Costa 15/8 to be booked vs City is a great bet

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      you might win it twice 🙂

  8. Bøwstring The Carp
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Don't like how deep Rooney is playing with Falcao and RVP up top 😕 gonna be a nightmare

    Think a switch to Falcao might be the right move

    1. Yome
      12 years, 1 month ago

      United passing going a lot from the wings so Rooney doesn't get involved much. I am giving him one more week as I have other pressing issues

    2. johnbarnes
      12 years, 1 month ago

      rooney is on fk, pens and left-side corners though. I'm a Falcao owner btw

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Rooney isn't on pens anymore, only some FK but really not the majority and doesn't RVP also take corners?

    3. Sharkytect
      12 years, 1 month ago

      another falcao owner and I would say stick with rooney: he is the only one certain of a start.

  9. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    12 years, 1 month ago

    How to solve a problem like Di Maria?

    1. Epic Fail
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Problem?

      1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Not having the fecker

        1. Epic Fail
          12 years, 1 month ago

          1. Billy Gilmore
            12 years, 1 month ago

            It's from the Sound of Music.

            1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
              12 years, 1 month ago

              I'm glad someone caught on

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

          😀

          That was lovely.

    2. Pedram
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Buy

      1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        12 years, 1 month ago

        By what? 😉

        1. Pedram
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Buy him = problem solved

  10. tm245
    12 years, 1 month ago

    The four of these premium priced attackers all figuring in the goals is great for FPL. Ozil yesterday as well.

    Strange start to the season but if the expensive players from big clubs round into form then concerns about templates and price stagnation can subside.

  11. Twelve years a slave
    12 years, 1 month ago

    At least mEvans has made transfer decision easy. Will now be keeping bego AND Moreno

    1. Twelve years a slave
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Moreno worth keeping anyway, terrible kneejerky to take him out with wba and qpr on horizon

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

        Liverpool defence is beyond crap.

        1. Somalion
          12 years, 1 month ago

          This, f**king hell Triggerlips you should know an absolute stinker when you see it!

        2. HamezMace
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Think Moreno is in most teams for attacking returns

      2. Captain Shirokov
        12 years, 1 month ago

        It was knee jerky to get him in the first place

      3. Debauchy
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Agree

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

      Not Moreno. Not you.

    3. Big Sum

    Rojo not looking very good at all so far in this game. Far from impressed! He seems really nervous on the ball or something
