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.

    2. Andy1

    3. Sting
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Falcao > Balotelli

      Ulloa > Naismith

      Why are these moves bad?

      1. Ady87
        12 years, 1 month ago

        They aren't. Not knee jerks either.

    4. For Fuchs Sake

  4. Damo.
    12 years, 1 month ago

    I'd love Costa to get sent off. He really is a horrible human being.

    1. 4vets
      12 years, 1 month ago

      What's he done?

      1. Somalion
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Played well in all his games.

        1. 4vets
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Oh... I hate him too then. I'll sell him tonight.

          1. Somalion
            12 years, 1 month ago

      I'd dread to hear your comments on Terry

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

        He's got a scathing opinion on frozen peas as well!

        1. Your Mum's Athletic
          12 years, 1 month ago

          leave the peas alone dude

  6. rickardinho
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Is this worth a -4 hit:

    Siggy, Rooney, Naismith > DiMaria/Hazard, Pelle, Ulloa

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

  7. THE Wild Rover
    12 years, 1 month ago

    That's a very deep hole that Fabregas is in 🙁

    1. Lawrø
      12 years, 1 month ago

      😯

    2. Jafooli
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Playing false pivot, I think.

    3. 4vets
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Against City,. I'll accept it.

    4. Lord Flashheart

    5. Granville

      12 years, 1 month ago

      That's why I benched him. Could easily backfire since my other midfielders failed.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I captained him 😆

  8. mgilbert86

  9. Royal5

    Fabregas playing deep

    1. Yome

      Normal, Mou wants to park a bus

  10. Somalion
    12 years, 1 month ago

    1. Your Mum's Athletic
      12 years, 1 month ago

      had him last week

      1. Somalion
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Was he any use?

        1. Your Mum's Athletic
          12 years, 1 month ago

          scored

          1. Somalion
            12 years, 1 month ago

            I know you did, you had him 😉

            1. Your Mum's Athletic
              12 years, 1 month ago

              😆

    2. tm245
      12 years, 1 month ago

      He is perfect for a dead team. I will never miss a haul...

      1. Somalion
        12 years, 1 month ago

        True enough 😉

    3. BabyB
      12 years, 1 month ago

      1. Somalion
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Bad luck 🙁

    4. Says
      12 years, 1 month ago

      10% of people have him.

      1. Somalion
        12 years, 1 month ago

        90% don't.

  11. rickardinho
    12 years, 1 month ago

    As a Costa owner, I find it hard to cheer for him given that it hardly makes a difference if he scores and I don't have him captained....

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Don't cheer him then.

  12. Jafooli
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Kompany vs Costa

    Proper scrape.

    1. Super PVA - Small Spuds
      12 years, 1 month ago

  15. thorvaldsson
    12 years, 1 month ago

    No Mirallas really? Martinez explain that logic to me!

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      He's winning ...

      1. thorvaldsson
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I don;t care about that. I care about my points. Mirallas has been lighting it up.

    2. Yome
      12 years, 1 month ago

      He was rotated a lot last season, no surprise

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Not when he was in goalscoring form though.

        1. Yome
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Hmm not sure, People were buying him because of his form but then got burnt as he was often left on the bench. He is not worth it

    3. Royal5
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Prabably wants players that actually pass the ball

    4. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Mirallas played on Thursday and Eto'o was once on the best strikers in Europe . No need to bother Roberto

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

      Mirallas is piss.

  16. mgilbert86
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Bar a huge mistake, Everton already look good for the CS

      I'd still go for two 4.5s... Mannone and one other maybe Heaton or wierdly Mannone and Krul...something will give soon re Newcastle either a change of manager...and Mannone and Krul is still a great H and A combo. Clean sheets are in short supply so save points are key.
