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.

    Fab goal 1-0 final score would be fine.

    What do we think of United then? Played great football but the penalty decision literally took it away from us. Looks good for the rest of the season but playing catch up is far from ideal.

    1. Says
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'm a United fan, but you can't blame the result on the first peno decision, it was just one goal of the goddam 5 they scored. second peno was correct too.

        The way they sulked after the bad penalty decision was unacceptable. Just get on with it.

        1. Says
          12 years, 1 month ago

          It's a sign of poor character to let one bad decision disrail the team. Especially when you're still in the lead after it anyway.

      2. getfunky
        12 years, 1 month ago

        yep, even after the goal they were still 3-2 up, just get on with it & close the game out

    2. Epic Fail
      12 years, 1 month ago

      The better team won.

    3. Fifa las vegas
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Agree. Nothing more to add really. Am so disappointed about todays result, really did not deserve that! We were robbed.

    4. Granville

      Obviously still a lot to sort out, but wake up calls like this early in the season will do more good than harm.

      1. Not Irish
        12 years, 1 month ago

        This is very true. I hope LVG will see we can't do with any passengers in the side.

        *cough RVP cough*

      I've seen just one.

      1. Royal5

        5 now

        1. Mr Sarcastic

          Missed the joke, It's same card everytime 😉

          1. Royal5

            🙂

    2. Zombie

      no no...it's just one card and he is showing it to different players

      1. Royal5

        Open mic night i see.

          😀

  11. mouldy_uk
    12 years, 1 month ago

    I might actually be pleased to see Mutch auto sub on if Naismith stays benched 🙂

  12. Syd.
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Somebody is going to get sent off

  13. Mr Sarcastic
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Benched Terry and very frustrating to watch this, Chelsea destined for cs.

  14. VougieDipond
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Mike Dean has to be the worst ref going after Chris Foy. Good ref should not be noticed in a game. this guy has the leading role so far

    1. Not Irish
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Mark Clattenburg says hi.

      1. Captain Shirokov
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Nah, he's good.

      2. VougieDipond
        12 years, 1 month ago

        he's better than this idiot

        1. FPL Daniel
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Agree Foy is the worst

  15. Clam. ☘️
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Not a chance. More like high 30s

  16. Ibralicious
    12 years, 1 month ago

    If Naismith goes on anywhere after the 30 minute mark and doesn't make a difference, I'm quitting FPL. Feckin benched Fabregas for him.. /

    1. rickardinho
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Same here. Not too bothered unless Fabregas scores, which doesn't look likely. In fact I can see Fabregas getting subbed as Chelsea aren't getting on the ball in midfield enough. Either him or Ramires.

      1. Ibralicious
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm how could this GW get any worse, my rivals are crushing me and i'm going down in friendly-waged leagues 🙁

  17. Jafooli
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Ever been a match where every player sends up with a YC?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      12 years, 1 month ago

      No

  18. smash
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Standerd moves...

    Rooney/JWP to Uola/Di Maria

    -4 worth it?

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

    If you had to choose one defender worth 5.7m or less which isn't Bertrand to own, who would you get?

  20. mgilbert86
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Atsu is a headless chicken, Mirallis should not have been benched

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

      On behalf of the Federation of Headless Chickens, we take offense at that remark.

  21. 4vets

    I keep having terrible Sundays 🙁

    1. Mílanista

      I always seem too.

  22. Sebbo29
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Please Naismith and Zaha stay both OUT, Clyne my second sub, Zaha my first, Naismith playing

  23. Hughes Your Daddy

    Bolasie all over the Everton defence and just hit the bar 😮

    Terrific match at the Etihad 🙄

    Mourinho knows how to put on a show...

    1. Jafooli
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'm actually enjoying it. Like a good chess match.

      1. 4vets
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Me too.

    2. VougieDipond
      12 years, 1 month ago

      its about winning. we have already had liverpool and utd to laugh at this weekend what more could you want?

      1. Lawrø
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Entertainment.

        1. Coaly
          12 years, 1 month ago

          It's been a good game if you enjoy football there is plenty to enjoy.

          1. Lawrø
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Maybe... I guess I can't help but getting frustrated at Mourinho's tactics!

            1. Coaly
              12 years, 1 month ago

              I think he will change it slightly at half time. Fabregas more freedom Ramires more central with Matic

  27. Bøwstring The Carp
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Mike Dean's fond of those yellow cards...

      Getting a round in already?

  29. Kip
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Naismith will most likely get a 5 min cameo to prevent Clyne coming of my bench, right?

    1. 4vets
      12 years, 1 month ago

      100%

    2. Del Griffith
      12 years, 1 month ago

      correct
