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.

  7. Dušan Citizen
    12 years, 1 month ago

    A) Naismith and Mahrez to Ulloa and Boyd
    B) Hazard and Naismith to Fabregas and Ulloa

    1. TheSteel
      12 years, 1 month ago

      C

  8. Andy1
    12 years, 1 month ago

    I am not wanting to wildcard, but my problem players are

    Dier
    Terry
    Naismith
    Rooney

    Thinking

    A. Dier --> duff
    B. Naismith --> welbeck

    Good move?

  9. Lawrø

  10. Davido989
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Predictions?

    Going with 2-0 Chelsea. Big game manager edges it for me.

    1. Lawrø
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I agree.

    2. Somalion
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I think in general City have been poor and lazy, Chelsea could hammer them.

  11. faux_C
    12 years, 1 month ago

    46 points with Terry and Costa to play. Think I'll hit 50?

    1. Lawrø
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Yes...

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

    Who's your Rooney replacement?

    Costa or Welbeck for me.

    1. faux_C
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Why are you selling?

    2. Lucy.
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Kun for me.

    3. 7shadesofsmoke
      12 years, 1 month ago

      hello mate, who'd you captain in the end?

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I'm looking at Aguero now.

        Those fixtures are sensual and he is fit. No need look any further IMO.

        YOU DONT HAVE COSTA?!

        Shiiiit. just realised what you said! GET COSTA

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

          Captained Roo 😕

          😆 yeah he's a shoe in. Welbeckk or Ulloa in for Naismith.....already have Kun! Kun looks good for you though.

          1. 7shadesofsmoke
            12 years, 1 month ago

            could've been very different if Falcao had buried the one that hit the bar.

    4. Debauchy
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Looking like Aguero soon

  13. Captain Shirokov
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy 3 assists and a goal.

    Bandwagon?

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      12 years, 1 month ago

      *4 assists

      1. Captain Shirokov
        12 years, 1 month ago

        wow

    2. amol
      12 years, 1 month ago

      *4 assists

    3. amol
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe was Leicesters best player last year along with Nugent.

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Drinkwater

        1. Wolverine
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 1 month ago

          What if he prefers a hot drink though?

  14. amol
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Teams looking good, ADM and Ulloa bagging some serious points.

    1. sminkypinky
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Good for you!

  15. rickardinho
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsey + Rooney > DiMaria + Pelle looks pretty attractive right now

    1. rickardinho
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Ooops, I meant Siggy + Rooney > DiMaria + Pelle

  16. mr messi
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Terry will score today 😉

    1. Royal5
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Would be a nice bonus.

    2. AlCapwnUK
      12 years, 1 month ago

      but in which goal 😛

  17. sminkypinky
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Austin -> Ulloa for free. No brainer right?

    ... Actually just did it before completing this sentence 😀

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I think I'll do Naismith to Ulloa too.

      1. sminkypinky
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Go for it Parm. Nice fixs and form. A rare chance to make a buck.

    2. Debauchy
      12 years, 1 month ago

      No rush - They only play United again, next year

  18. Game of Stones
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Oh no, just realized that I didn't have Di Maria as my (vc).... it's Costa 🙁

  19. Les Bleus
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Got 2 FTs

    A) Jones and Ade out for Clyne and Welbeck
    B) Jones and Ramsey out for Clyne and Di Maria
    C) All transfers for a -4

    Thanks

    1. iiMuse
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Well Adebayor needs to go (I had similar issues) so A or C 🙂

  20. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Honestly can't believe how much is made about captaincy, at the end of the day it's just a shitty armband, if you're a genuine leader you wouldn't need an armband to show it.

    1. Kerz
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I think Rooney's a perfect captain.

    2. Davido989
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I can't believe I've just read this.

    3. Not Irish
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Which is the issue. Rooney's never been a leader. It's just a power grab for him. Such a daft choice.

    4. Lawrø
      12 years, 1 month ago

      As a supporter of a team that psychologically dominated the league for decades I'm surprised you don't see the importance of it...

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 1 month ago

        The leader doesn't always have to have an armband on, obviously players like Keane are intimidating but the likes of Neville and Ferdinand didn't need captaincy to be a leader.

        What I'm trying to say is Rooney has never been a leader and won't be.

        1. Not Irish
          12 years, 1 month ago

          I just caught your drift. We are in agreement.

    5. Give The Todd Some Love
      12 years, 1 month ago

      😯

    6. 7shadesofsmoke
      12 years, 1 month ago

      there are other obligations that come with it (off field) and also its a mark of greater attachment to the fans and club.

      I think the armband is something very special and a captain should be very proud to wear it.

      Captaincy and commitment should be synonymous, but there is no reason why a player should show any less commitment without the armband.

  21. iiMuse
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Considering 95% of people are going to Costa (C) next week, is anyone else considering a gamble of maybe Pelle (C) ??

    1. alucyault365
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth the risk IMO

  22. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Top Spurs passer in final third is Eriksen with 12% success. #Abysmal. #Awful #Terrible

  23. Bøwstring The Carp
    12 years, 1 month ago

    I'll go 2-1 City: Aguero X2 and Hazard

    1. mgilbert86
      12 years, 1 month ago

      dzeko, terry, costa

  24. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
    12 years, 1 month ago

    How does everyone think we will line up next week?

    DDG

    Rafael/Rojo/Jones/Shaw

    Herrera/Di Maria/Rooney/Mata

    RvP/Falcoa

    1. alucyault365
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Why do you think Blind won't play?

    2. Crouching Tiger
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Jones is back?

  25. rickardinho
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Yes or No:

    Siggy + Rooney > DiMaria + Pelle

    1. rickardinho
      12 years, 1 month ago

      2FT's 0.5itb btw

      1. Feanor
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Yes. Is Rooney even on penalties?

    2. The Iron Tulip
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Ulloa instead of Pelle. Gives you money in the bank

  26. DIegoCosta19
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Next weeks fixtures are looking very tasty for the most owned players

    1. FPL Daniel
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Best time to wildcard if your team is in a mess

      1. alucyault365
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Why?

  27. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Lamela owners me included. Just sell him. Terrible value. At least for now. Fixtures and form against him. Stats too

  28. mgilbert86
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Why in the hell are people trading Ramsey before he explodes in the london derby? At the very least keep until after that game...

    1. Somalion
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Swapped for ADM this week, worked out pretty well to be honest.

  29. MS
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Just WC'd.

    How's that looking?

    GK: Heaton-Mannone

    DEF: Ivanovic-Clyne-A.Williams (Wisdom-Duff)

    MID: Ramsey-Siggy-Sterling-Fabregas (Cork)

    ATT: Pelle-Costa-Ulloa

    4.4 in the bank.

    1. The Iron Tulip
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I would do Pelle and Ramsey > Aguero and ADM and downgrade Ivanovic.

  30. Nice to Finally Michu
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Whom do I want to do well of Fab, Haz and Costa if I have all three?

    1. DIegoCosta19
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Haz

    2. mgilbert86
      12 years, 1 month ago

      i sold hazard to di maria

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Haz the most. Not Costa.

    4. sminkypinky
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Que?

      I'd prefer all of them.

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I'm sure some have captained some of the above players

    5. tm245
      12 years, 1 month ago

      All three? Trick question?

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        12 years, 1 month ago

        See above, i'm sure plenty have captained some of the above players
