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.

  10. jernej93
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ivanović, Coleman or Baines for season long? 🙂

    1. DIegoCosta19
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      defenders seem to be all about fixtures this year

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

      Ivan or Baines

      Everton don't look solid at the back yet though

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Ivan

  11. Granville

    Ref changed the game but there's more to come.

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Is shoulder to shoulder a foul now?
      I know shoulder to back is, but....

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

        It was a foul and a dive. Try to deny both...

        1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          again....

          Is shoulder to shoulder a foul now?

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

            It looks like he used his palm to push him away.

            He certainty fell into Rafael without any contact.

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

    Time to sell Rafael...

    What was I thinking 😆

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

      The vodka was thinking ... 😉

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

        You may be onto to something 😉

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

    Rafael can't defend, he has been poor

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

    Putting the good game down at Leicester aside...Should I do this??

    Out: Hazard, Kolarov, Naismith, Adebayor
    In: Duff, Di Maria, Ulloa, Costa

    Will take a 8 Point hit and I currently only have 0.7m ITB

    NEED A QUICK RESPONSE AS PRICES WILL SOAR!!

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

    herrera can't keep scoring goals can he?

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe he should help stop them for a bit

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

    Wow Man U are so panicked

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

    1 goal by ade. that is all i want. 1 effing goal.

  18. The Iron Tulip
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone seriously tempted by Ulloa? 4 goals in 5. Thinking him over Welbeck for the next few fixtures...

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I am. Good fixtures too.

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

      Short term could be a steal, their fixtures are really nice

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

      I will tell you after the game, when I can rev my table up.

    4. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Anyone not tempted would the more pertinent question

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

      He'll probably struggle to maintain those numbers... Very likely to go 10 games without scoring soon

    6. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I think i am. For Austin.

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

      I am seriously tempted by him. Not for -4 this week, would prefer to wait until GW6, but how much price rise between then?

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

      I was admiring his upcoming fixtures as well. Depending on what Naismith does today, I'm considering a swap.

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

    Rooney to score the winning goal.

  20. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Best Utd pick has to be AdM right?

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

    I so want Spurs to lose their clean sheet, too many casuals having Spurs defenders.

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

    Rooney looks poor. Lots of sideways passing, sitting deep, lack of movement. Delighted he's my captain...

    1. The Chosen One...
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      At least it's not Ade

  23. M.I.A.
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    How should I fund a Di Maria transfer in.

    Downgrade Ade to Pelle or Welbeck or downgrade Dier to N Taylor?

    1. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Ade out.

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

      Downgrade Dier.

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

        Good timing, as Spurs concede at home to West Brom!

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

      Either. But you must do it soon. Many of us had Di Maria for two weeks now. I prefer A.

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

    Knee's-a-jerkin'

    Rooney/Chadli > Welbeck/Di Maria for free

    😆

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

    Utd are going go be involved in a lot of high scoring matches this year if today is anything to go by

  26. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Thinking of doing Mirralas and Ivan ---> Fab and 5.2 def for free.

    Can anyone help with these two questions?

    a) Should I do it?

    b) Which defender? Already have Clyne
