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.

    4. Sebbo29

    This definitely looks like a game where the two best sides in the league are at it.

    1. Screaming Midget
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Agreed.

  6. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    fabregas to mikel would not shock me in the second half.

    Well Ade made it easy for me to switch to Pelle. Would you captain Costa,Rooney or Pelle next GW? I am leaning towards Pelle for differential even though my Ade punt failed miserably.

    1. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I think Pelle is a differential just by owning him

    2. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Costa or Pelle. Depends if you like hiding behind your couch during Chelsea games

  8. Screaming Midget
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Brendan Roche - coming to the strip club next weekend?

  9. Koflok
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    A) Balotelli Naismith -> Pelle Costa (-4)

    B) Balotelli Naismith Ramsey -> Pelle Welbeck Dimaria (-8)

    C) Wildcard.

    Bego Cahill Ferdinand Ramsey Albrighton Rooney Balotelli Naismith
    to
    Forster Bertrand Chambers DiMaria Boyd Pelle Aguero Costa

  10. Davido989
    • 15 Years

    Willian to Mikel and Ramires to make those right sided runs. 😉

  11. thehut
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Does Silva & Balotelli > Chadli & Aguero, seem ok? 2FT

    Or Siggy & Balotelli > Di Maria & Ulloa?

    T

    Team is:

    Begovic (McCarthy)

    Clyne Wisdom PVA (Pieters, Moreno)

    Sterling Sanchez Silva Siggy (Boyd)

    Pelle Costa Balotelli

    Not sure what to do with my 2FT £0.2 in bank

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years

      2nd one

      1. thehut
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I'm getting kinda p'eed off with Silva though, if he scored or assisted more, or even played a full game wouldnt seem so bad

        1. 4vets
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          You didn't ask about Silva 🙂

    2. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Don't get Chadli

      1. thehut
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I was having second thoughts about him since Spurs are looking garbage at the moment

  12. Jay_
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Aguero C , Di Maria V is starting to look baddd

    • Phaze 1

    • palace ash

      11 years, 4 months ago

      Strange GW for me:

      Krul 1 (Mannone 10 on bench)
      Pieters 0 (Clyne 8 on bench)

      Got Fab and Costa in play but still on 58. I rose from 77K to just under 6K overnight!

      1. rickardinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        58!? How?!

        1. palace ash
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Surprised myself!

          Annoyed about my subs!

    • rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Shame that Matic and Ramires are on bookings, otherwise I could see Fabregas>Mikel at HT.

      The team that manages to keep 11 players on the pitch will win this 1-0

    • Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Fabregas bossing the BPS

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Until the cs's kick in

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        He is the man. He will score in second half. Debut goal in PL for Chelsea is on the cards

      3. Wirtzle Gummidge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        too early

    • Ten Season Wonder
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      acted early...

      Out: Naismith & Mata
      In: Welbeck & ADM

      (took a minus 4 hit)

      worth it?

      1. Sting
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Yes

    • Gimli son of Gloin
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Is ADM worth getting in then?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        1

    • Goodfella
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      57pts with Fabregas still playing.

      Lamela has been underwhelming for me, is he worth persevering with or should I bite the bullet?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Can't wait to sell him

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I still have it, not in a rush to use it. I will spread the hits in the gameweeks

      2. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I'm using mine this week. Too many players I want to bring in and had a shocker of a week with -4.

      3. Retrosynth
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I'll probably use mine this week. I'm on 24 pts at the moment...
