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.

    Would you do : Moreno + Evans for Van Aanholt + Spurs defender?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, although not for 4 points.

    Has anyone managed to squeeze three big guns up front yet? I currently have Costa and Falcao and don't want to loose either for Aguero, so considering a wildcard and only having two expensive mids...

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Costa aguero balo

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Balo is a waste of money.

        1. big oak
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          yeah thats what i discovered in the 2 weeks i brought him in
          in addition to that, gerrard is on penos

        2. Sharkytect
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          To some extent I'd agree. I'd be more interested in finding the extra fund for sturridge when he returns.

    2. avfcaidan10
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      See my team - have to admit it's not a pretty defence

  3. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Is Alderweireld nailed at SOT when fit?

    1. Sloopy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yes. I' m pretty sure!

  4. Yome
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    For free, Rambo, Moreno to ADM, PVA ?

    1. johnbarnes
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      yes

  5. bangers and M*A*S*H
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Is this a stupid move for 4 point hit?

    OUT: Manquillo, Tadic and Welbeck

    IN: Duff, ADM and Ulloa

    1. cheeky_ash
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yes...stupid.

      Manquillo needs to go only

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yes.

      Why ditch Welbz?

      1. bangers and M*A*S*H
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        to have enough for ADM.

        Alternatively I can get rid off Sterling and Manq
        for ADM and Duff

    3. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Welbeck!?

  6. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Naismith + Eriksen >> Welbeck + Di Maria

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I want to do the same but with balo

    3. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good but I don't know about selling Naismith yet. 50/50 on that...obviously the mid swap is a big improvement.

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yup.

  7. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ade close

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I want a goal (c)

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Same.

        1. Birds of Prey
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          as well thx for those bits in states can't watch

  8. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    £10-£1000 challenge begins

    Today Roma and Celtic just under evens

  9. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Terrible move with Spurs next 3 fixtures

  10. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Looks like Tadic + Balo to ADM + Pelle for my 2 frees. ADM is awesome.

    1. Crash
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Why lose tadic?

    2. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Same here. Was going to hold Tadic one more week and double up but only have .2 room for Di Maria to rise which he probably will do this week

  11. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Kaboul/Chiriches won't last long...

    And if they do, Spurs won't.

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Confused why vert isn't starting

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        only back from injury

        1. 50shades of o'shea
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Played midweek

      2. AlCapwnUK
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        amen, he's getting dropped from my team anyway, but this was supposed to be his last hurrah

        1. 50shades of o'shea
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Same

  12. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Lescott is doing good job (maybe Spurs are poor)

  13. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Falcao really hasn't been that great so far...

    1. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      All about Ulloa

      1. Reedy
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I might actually swap him for Ulloa and upgrade Marney to ADM

  14. Tommytour
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Panic wildcard coming up I think

    Falling behind

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Same 🙁

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Very tempting, said I'd save til March as normal

  15. bodsc
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Lots of people ditching Ramsey, bit early for that no?

    1. dr. Phil
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      nah, with walcott coming in as well, i think its perfect timing.

      1. bodsc
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Keep forgetting about Wally.

      2. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Indeed, also Rambo played DM against Villa. He is out for me too

        1. The Finnisher
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          He played the same position he did all last year ffs.

          1. Yome
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Then what? Doesn't mean he will repeat the heroics of last season

        2. bodsc
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Was only last week I was telling myself Ramsey would be my season keeper.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Was ditching but Mata now first in line.

  16. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Have a FT this week.

    Falcao & Downing or Di Maria & striker up to 6.8m?

    No Utd coverage at present.

  17. jonny77
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ramsey > Di maria and what other transfer for -4:

    A)Jagielka/Moreno > 4.5m Defender

    B)Siggy > 5.5m Mid

    C) Don't get ADM

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Thinking of the same subs. Looking at Rambo to ADM and Siggy to Downing. Not sure if I want to go through with it though. ADM's price will explode though.

    2. cheeky_ash
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      If you are going to do this:

      Moreno -> Wison
      Ramsey -> ADM

      But arsenals fixtures will get better in GW8 I think so you may want Ramsey back?

  18. Yome
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    ADM will rise tonight you reckon?

    1. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      almost certain that

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, I don't wanna miss the rise for sure

  19. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Might have to go with Ulloa Costa Pelle.

    Would allow me to have Cesc ADM Walcott Sterling

    1. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No Mata? 😯

    2. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Wally hasn't even played a minute lol

  20. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Which is better ?

    A- Ramsey & Balo > ADM & Pelle for free

    B- Ramsey & Balo & Naismith > 6.7 M mid player ( Chadli or any ) & Pelle & Rooney for - 4 pts

    1. BabyB
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      A

  21. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Di Maria looks more of must have than any Utd player.

    Best striker up to 6.8m?

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      ulloa

    2. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Ulloa

  22. amol
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Late but Ulloa you beauty!

  23. mbrucie
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Rambo and Balo to ADM and Rooney on 2 FT. Or too risky to get two United?

  24. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Leicester definitely have enough to stay up.

    1. bodsc
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Absolutely.

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        only games v teams around them will determine this.

  25. Del Griffith
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I'm keeping Rooney, nice consistent source of points, goals/assists guaranteed

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      he always ends up near the top despite always seeming shit. he's a good pick

    2. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Me too for one more week, I want Aguero though for him

  26. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years

  27. DVassell
    • 14 Years

    Baines+Chester OUT, Ivanovic+Duff IN (-4)
