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
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Is that good?

      1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Captain against QPR 🙂

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

        But he missed them all

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

          😆

        2. Yome
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

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

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            That ain't necessarily so.

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

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

            2. Yome
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 7 months ago

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

          2. tm245

            Adel Taarabt says hello.

              Townsend says heya

                • 14 Years
                11 years, 7 months ago

                Forgot about the other AT...

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

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

    4. Yes Don
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      he's dog poo. Proper donkey.

  2. M.I.A.
    • 14 Years

    How's Ade looked so far?

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      MIA

      1. M.I.A.
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Lol oh dear! He's my captain as well

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      almost won a penalty...for WBrom

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        so can only get better

    3. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Just like he has all season...weird.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

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

    4. M.I.A.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Sounds like I should've kept the armband on Aguero

  3. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      PVA to afford ADM

    2. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Anyone. A Spurs defender or double Southampton

      1. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

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

        1. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Watch mangala today

          1. Simon69
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Good call.

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

      They will be punished. Oop

      1. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months 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
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Balotelli + Naismith > Ulloa + Falcao ?

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

      sterling

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

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

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

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

  6. Paul Scholes -- True tackli…
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    pelle, ulloa or welbeck
    money not an issue

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Pelle, Saints are rocking atm

    2. Darth
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Pelle f

      1. Darth
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Pelle for now, then switch to welbeck.

    3. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Welbz

  7. Demí
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

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

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

      you might win it twice 🙂

  8. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months 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
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months 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
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

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

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

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

  9. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 13 Years

    How to solve a problem like Di Maria?

    1. Epic Fail

      Problem?

            It's from the Sound of Music.

              • 13 Years

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

          Buy him = problem solved

  10. tm245
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months 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
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

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

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

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

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Liverpool defence is beyond crap.

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

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

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

          Think Moreno is in most teams for attacking returns

      2. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        It was knee jerky to get him in the first place

      3. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Agree

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Not Moreno. Not you.

    3. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      For Blackett, Champers or someone else?

  12. jernej93
