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.

      Wouldv been a brilliant goal

    2. Holmes

      He is crazy... Sooner or later, he will score screamer.

  4. Wilshere Knowledge

    Dive.

  5. OShaughnessy

    If Utd keep playing this well, they'll win the Champion's League easy.

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

      😆

    2. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ

      They'll have to be in it to do that

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

        Oops. I forgot. *blush*

    3. Revival

    Ref bottled it!

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      It wasnt even a foul.

      1. Bob.
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Looked like one to me on first sight anyway and he blew the whistle for a free! After giving a foul the ref should have given the second yellow for sure. Lucky to be on the pitch!

  7. Joggers Nipple

    Really want Falcao but would like to wait 2 weeks. Please dont be so brilliant for a little while longer plz

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      He hasn't exactly been brilliant today..

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        agree, but looks like he be any minute.

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Prefer ADM and Fat Wayne given their respective prices and place in the team

          1. Joggers Nipple
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Thats who im on at the mo. Happy to wait but mini league rivals all over Falcao already

          2. Joggers Nipple
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Pig seems to like this role as AM

  8. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    captained the wrong AD
    its on E should have been on M

  9. Jax
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    must not use wildcard...

  10. Barrier Freeman
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Di Maria seems to be more susceptible to gravity than the rest of us.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      That's what happens when your bones have nothing supporting them.

  11. bangers and M*A*S*H
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I have no Utd cover.

    Would it make sense to get ADM for Sterling for a free?

    Means no Liverpool cover though.

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Di Maria all day

    2. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No, keep Sterling.

    3. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Both.

    4. AlCapwnUK
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      i'd say sterling is the only liverpool player you want at the moment.
      if you can get ADM in another route might be better

      1. bangers and M*A*S*H
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks for the replies.

        Can't get ADM for another than Stirling without taking a hit which means I need to sell either Pelle or Welbeck which I don't want to.

    5. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      coin flip maybe go with the money

    6. OShaughnessy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Ridding yourself of Sterling does not seem like the best way to fix your lack of Utd players.

  12. Djerbil
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Foster 0 Saves ?? 😯

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

      lol @ spurs

    2. iiMuse
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Spurs haven't had a shot on target yet. Should of got rid of Adebayor a long time ago...

  13. cheeky_ash
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    mmmmm.

    Ulloa is 5.6M ....Leicestershire fixtures look quite tasty too.

    1. cheeky_ash
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I hate spell check....Leicester

  14. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Sill 40 mins to go but what are Rooney owners thinking now LVG's hand has been revealed?

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

      Sell.

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

      as long as he deliver the points he'll stay in my team

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Sell

        Their run of favourable fixtures is at an end

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Best way into united's attack, all things considered. Cheaper than falco & rvp, more attacking than ADM & more nailed on than any of them.

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Sell Rooney
      Buy ADM if I want a mid, or Falcao if a striker

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Still involved, on set pieces, spraying plenty of passes around so looks good for assists, worried he won't score as many goals now do

  15. Proggy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Rooney is still a great FPL option. If he doesn't score, he'll assist.

    1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      For 10.4M I don't want assists

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

        I suppose....but assists are only one less point than a goal for a striker. Just think of it like Rooney has scored but also received a yellow card.

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          More likely to get a yellow playing in mid though so likely to get 2 points

        2. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          For that much I want a captain option too not a CDM

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

            CDM. ffs alright 😆

          2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            What you want is irrelevant princess.

      2. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        ...from a striker

  16. Sif
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Mata on for Falcoa soon?

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      for rooney = scenes

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      yes please

  17. iiMuse
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ulloa or Naismith for a bargain striker??

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

      yes

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      look at fixtures

    3. Pedram
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Ulloa is amazing at this price

  18. fatherted
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Please Mr van Gal can you bring young Juan on, you see one rival has Falcao who will be tired and one has Caulker 1st sub.

    Thanks

  19. AlCapwnUK
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    what is going on with Spurs? they looked so promising...

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Look terrible today 🙁

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

    Mata will probably come on for Falcao at some point, he's not fully fit. Rooney should get some time up front 🙂

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'd rather RVP went off. Pens

  21. M4d_H4tt3r
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Pelle or Welbeck?

  22. Davido989
