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.

    For those of you thinking Vardy is just a poor option who will disappear soon.. he wont. he's been injured so dint start the season. Easily my favorite player from Leicester and i know a lot of leicester fans who felt that he'd be the most comfortable in the EPL cause of his pace and trickery. Fallen to 4.9 and is a bargain imo. Will write an article about him later. Prefer him over Ulloa cause you can bench him at that price without much cost.

    1. Les Bleus
      12 years, 1 month ago

      It's easy to say all that when he just got 21 FPL points 😉

      I had him in the championship fantasy last season, helped a lot. Didn't realize he was injured, was wondering what happened to him.

      Looks very fast and comfortable finishing....not sure if I should trade welbeck for him though.....

    Well the dungeon trolls are back out in force. Fun. 🙄

    1. Gnu

      It appears so. 🙁

      1. Somalion
        12 years, 1 month ago

        From both sides unfortunately, the ABUs and the DUFs (Deluded United Fans). Sigh.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 1 month ago

      More fun than delusional Man U fans. 😉

      1. Somalion
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Meh, there are pockets of improvement attack wise. It's the crap attitudes, penalty given and the heads went down and that was it. Couple that to terrible substitution decisions and it all went terribly. Awful defending as is standard.

  10. tm245
    12 years, 1 month ago

    I hate it when I captain a guy I transfer in and he fails. Can't evaluate him properly because the fail is too much on my mind. Adebayor, ouch.

  11. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Ok. Sterling 10 Rooney 4 Adebayor 2, DiMaria 11, on the captaincy wheel of fortune.

  16. Tim Canterbury
    12 years, 1 month ago

    I suppose Utd's defence being cack doesn't really matter for their attacking FPL assets

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 1 month ago

      They will have to play more defensive though to stop this from happening again though.

    2. Sif
      12 years, 1 month ago

      They have built a five star hotel on quicksand...

  17. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Just shut up United fans. Another 150m and maybe you won't concede 5 goals from Lei!!!

    1. Fifa las vegas

  18. The Sarjeant
    12 years, 1 month ago

  19. johnbarnes
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Terry-Hazard-Diego Costa. How many points from this lot today?

    1. johnbarnes
      12 years, 1 month ago

    2. Birds of Prey
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Odd but I have to still root for him to crush.
