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.

    where are the BP's going then dawgs?

    So Baines scores a penalty and gets 3 bonus points. Standard.

    Rubs salt into the wound as rival has him as captain.

    I feel sick. Worst day ever.

      Killed me too, seen the penalty which was never a penno makes it worse. Think too much weight is given to defenders who score, there needs to be a bit more context when weighting the importance of goals.

    Baines on for 3bps 😯

    This gameweek has been a real leveller.

    Jees Balotelli got some awful abuse after that little dig. Can't even call those people football fans let alone Utd fans. Or call them people for that matter. Up there with the slagging of tragedies. Disgusting.

  12. Captain Shirokov
    12 years, 1 month ago

    62 all out.

    That'll do. 😎

  13. Christina.

    Another 3 goals conceded by Everton.

    😕

    I guess I will have to take Baines 10pts.

    1. AlCapwnUK
      12 years, 1 month ago

      their defence has been shocking - still looking to get Baines in for Gw 8.

    2. super zlatan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Nice. Debated all week if it worth bringing in baines for a hit.

      I guess I should have!

        12 years, 1 month ago

        Feck Still pissed of with the 28pts I lost last week on him and Pelle.

    Southampton relegated the said. 2nd place. close

  17. Proggy

    46 all out

  18. Give The Todd Some Love
    12 years, 1 month ago

    How on earth did Baines get 3BPs

    1. Fantasy Gold
      12 years, 1 month ago

      They give bonus points to the popular players. He could have the worst game in the world and be anonymous, score a poxy penalty and get 3bps. It's just how FPL Towers roll

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Crossing etc

  19. Mr.Irwin
    12 years, 1 month ago

    33 points. 17 on the bench. I could cry

  20. rickardinho
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Delighted by the scores today. Lampard from Milner to ruin the Chelsea CS was lovely 🙂

    Rooney captain was the right choice from my 3 forwards. Naismith + Costa 1 point fail.

  21. The Chosen One...
    12 years, 1 month ago

    concedes 3 goals in a losing team and score a consolation penalty...3 baps. FPL Logic

  22. Konig Luther
    12 years, 1 month ago

    At least Ade (c) was better than Costa (c)

  23. The Machine
    12 years, 1 month ago

    schurrle more responsible for the goal but just a few minutes later ivanovic nearly cost them a second. when is mourinho gonna experiment with azpil and luis?

    1. Somalion
      12 years, 1 month ago

      When they finally lose a game.

  24. DIegoCosta19
    12 years, 1 month ago

    every minute Drogba is on the pitch is a minute of chelsea playing with 10 men. Im a chelsea fan and he is a legend but Mourinho needs to stop this sentiment. bring remy on when theyr are a man down, hed outstretch them even more.

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

    Seems like a wildcard it is?

    Team is

    BEGO
    Clyne Duff Moore CAHILL FERRDINAND
    Fabregas Sterling Siggy RAMSEY ALBRIGHTON
    ROONEY BALOTELLI NAISMITH

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

    Alternatively I can stick to my original plan and just do Balotelli Naismith -> Costa Pelle (-4)

    But Aguero and DiMaria is tempting.. I'm so over playing it safe.

  26. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 1 month ago

    42 pts all out. Thank god for Sterling captain. Otherwise would have been total disaster. Only him and Chambo brought me pts. All others blank. Still green?

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

      59. Dodged a bullet by STILL not having Costa. Hoping to stay in top 10k.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Probably a grey.

  27. Syd.
    12 years, 1 month ago
