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.

    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, 4 months ago

      Nothing extreme required! Don't miss anymore weeks.

  5. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years

    Welbeck, Ujoa, Pelle

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

      Imagine saying that on here back before GW1

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

    4. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Ulloa much better pick than pelle

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

      Lol

    2. johnbarnes
      • 11 Years

      no

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      QPR much worse defence do

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        wrong.

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          No. We suck defensively.

    4. FantaCity
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

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

  7. 50shades of o'shea
    • 12 Years

  9. Jay_

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

    • Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      1. 50shades of o'shea
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 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.

      Naismith > Ulloa for the next few weeks so?

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

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

    • Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 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, 4 months ago

        Yep. He's the superstar at United.

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 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.

      A) Falcoa Herrera

      B) Falcoa Siggy

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

    • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

      Evans injured

    • Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

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

        same thoughts going on here.. :p

      2. dr. Phil
        • 12 Years

        +1

    • jonny77
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 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
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        only way in. Same with me.

    • Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 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, 4 months ago

        No

      2. The Finnisher
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

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

      3. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

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

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

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

        2. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

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

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 4 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, 4 months ago

          Khedira...? What you on about Wilshere?

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 4 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, 4 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, 4 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, 4 months ago

        Why not?

      5. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

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

      6. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Sometimes he is.

      7. AlCapwnUK
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 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

      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)
