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
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

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

    2. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

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

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

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

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

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

      More fun than delusional Man U fans. 😉

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

    • 14 Years

    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.

  16. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

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

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

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

    2. Sif
      • 12 Years

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