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.

    It's a real shame that most of ManU's good fixtures have already been.

    So I had work this weekend and totally forgot to sort out my fantasy teams due to lack of sleep and other work related distractions.

    What do you guys do if you miss one week? Is it over? Do I just get back next week and make up for it or just continute to play it safe and not miss anymore weeks. I am pretty annoyed to be honest. My team hasn't performed too badly but I think it would've faired better if I had given it some attention. Help!

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Nothing extreme required! Don't miss anymore weeks.

  5. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years

    My new front three:

    Welbeck, Ujoa, Pelle

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    2. johnbarnes
      • 11 Years

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        wrong.

        1. Nomar
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          No. We suck defensively.

    4. FantaCity
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      equal pick to Pelle, but Ulloa much cheaper allows cash elsewhere

  9. Jay_
    11 years, 10 months ago

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      crud Ade--my C only has 2 BPS that's only 2 more than you and I.

  10. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Balotelli and Eriksen out for Welbeck/Pelle and ADM free?

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yh I would. I got rid of Lamela for next week but Im keeping Balo for the meantime he has to score soon.

    2. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years

  13. Burly - swear i wont ever (…
    • 16 Years

    Naismith > Ulloa for the next few weeks so?

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Depends. I expect him to do well later (he's my captain) 🙂

  14. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Basing Di Maria's goalscoring potential on his record at Madrid looks particularly daft. He was playing 2nd or 3rd fiddle there.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yep. He's the superstar at United.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Although he was playing in a much better team. Ozil did better at Madrid than at Arsenal.

      I'd say basing DI Maria's potential on one goal against a promoted side and one goal which was a cross, is even more daft.

  15. Birds of Prey
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    A) Falcoa Herrera

    B) Falcoa Siggy

    c) Hazard Welbeck

    appreciate thoughts

    1. royals forever

    2. johnbarnes

      B or C

    3. Judeksi

      B

  16. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years

    Baines owners should get Ulloa

  17. Judeksi
    • 11 Years

    WBA doing well against Spurs so far 😮

    I've done Ramsey to ADM last week, no regrets

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Evans injured

  21. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Ramsey > Di Maria for next 2 GW's looks tempting

    1. Judeksi
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      same thoughts going on here.. :p

    2. dr. Phil
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      +1

  22. jonny77
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    How do I get ADM in here?

    Begovic (McCarthy)
    Clyne, Moreno, Jagielka, (Moore, Duff)
    Ramsey, Sterling, Fabregas, Siggurdson, (Jones (BUR one))
    Aguero, Costa, Welbeck

    I presume Ramsey will have to make way?

    1. dr. Phil
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      only way in. Same with me.

  23. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I wonder if I'll get laughed at this time... Di Maria is in the top 5 players in the world.

    1. BabyB
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No

    2. The Finnisher
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      We get it. You don't mind Di Maria.

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, I am still laughing. He only played at Madrid because Khedira got injured.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Ronaldo, Messi, Robben, Ribery, Bale, Suarez, Ibra, Aguero, Neymar, Lewandowski, Reus etc

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        That is complete and utter bunkum. Giggs Boson is right.

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          If you think he is better than Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Robben and Ibra, you're mental.

      3. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Khedira...? What you on about Wilshere?

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Ronaldo Benz Bale
          Khedira Alonso Modric

          That was the team, then Khedira got an ACL injury.

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Benz
            Ronaldo Ozil Di Maria
            Alonso Khedira Modric (2 from 3)
            was the formation before Bale happened.
            DiMaria lost his preferred position with the arrival of Bale and the form of Modric.
            Di Maria was too good to drop and can play most positions across the front 8.
            But he's not in the top 5 imo.

            1. Gnu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 10 months ago

              Ozil was the big loser.
              DiMaria plyed more games & minutes than Bale, Alonso, Khedira (obviously) & Ozil. Only Modric had more minutes.

    4. Benteke10
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Why not?

    5. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      3rd most expensive, so its not really a controversial statement

    6. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Sometimes he is.

    7. AlCapwnUK
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      probably not, but i am enjoying the raiding of Madrid players.
      still waiting on Benzema to Arsenal - would have suited me on FPL and on FIFA

  24. Davido989

    Just an info , Total FPL does not show ADM's BAPS in their Live Baps section (don't know why)

    He is currently tied with Ulloa on 3 (refer the FPL page)
