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.

    Mirallas and ADe to adm and pelle for -4? Yes or no?

    1. Ich bin Klopp
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      There my transfers too!

  2. Benteke10

    Thoughts on Mata,Rooney and Balotelli > Di Maria, Costa and Pelle?

    1. Benteke10
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      For a hit

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

      how is it possible that you don't have costa yet? He is this year's Suarez.

      1. Benteke10
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        :'(

    3. Muffinz
      • 12 Years

      I approve.

      1. Benteke10
        • 12 Years

        😀

    Blackett is a BEAST

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

      How fickle

  4. 50shades of o'shea
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    What are Spurs doing. Worst idea going 3x liverpool 3 weeks ago. Taken them all out for next week

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

      3x spurs*

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

    Chadli virtually playing as a striker 😆

    Spurs looking better.

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

    Soooo close for ade

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

      How close this time?

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

        Very.

      2. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        He didn't even shoot.

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

          Was inches away from heading the ball. Would be 1-0

  7. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone watching the Tot game? Do they look like winning? Might cash out on my accumulator if not

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Look shite apparently. West Brom have had more shots than them, more on target as well. 0 shots on target form Suprs so far.

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

      not watching it but no goals on target so far so maybe cash out?

  8. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    So what should I do?

    Thinking Rooney--->Costa...but feel like taking a hit or two for Caulker & Chadli

    DDG
    Caulker Moreno Duff (Chester,Wisdom)
    Chadli Siggy ADM Sterling
    Rooney Naismith Aguero

    Cheers 🙂

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years

      Get Bertrand

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        For Caulker probs yeah...unless I go Baines

    2. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      4.8m in the bank...

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

        Caulker to Naylor/PvA or DDG to Forster/Heaton and Naismith to Costa

        1. Arvin-ation
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Keep midfield Rooney?

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

      45 minutes is enough for you to go from transferring Chadli in to getting rid for a hit? lol

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Fixtures take a turn for the worse after this GW, was always a short term punt.

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

          Seems ridiculous to trade him in for 1 GW then. If you planned a hit then you're effectively needing a goal just to break even. Too late now though 🙂

          1. Arvin-ation
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Needed the cash and a Schurrle replacement. Indeed...depends on how he goes...this is all definitely very premature. Just a coupla early thoughts 🙂

            Might do Siggy/Chadders--->Mane though, depending on how my balls feel.

            You watching the game?

  9. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Rooney rapid.

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

    by the time Oscar finds any form he's going to be about £5 on FPL

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

    Leicester are actually playing nice football

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

      This

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

    Anyone help me make a decision on the welbeck/Pelle debate?

    1. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Welbeck is better pick imo.

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

        Spurs Arsenal always has goals.

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

      Pelle short term, Welbeck long term.

    3. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Pelle

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

        What you reckon about doing Eriksen and Balo to ADM and Welbz/Pelle for free? May be even take a hit for a defender also

        1. Arvin-ation
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Perfect. Pelle/Welbeck's a tough one...I'll get back to you once I've had a proper look at the stats.

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

            Cheers Arvin

    4. mipola
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Pelle for now and switch to Welbeck when his fixtures get better

  13. Solenya
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Blackett seems all on his own there, Rojo hardly helping him.

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

    what minute are spurs in thx

    1. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…

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

    How are Spurs, sorry I meant Adebayor, doing?

    1. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Sh1t. Ade just missed entire ball from 6 yards after perfect cross from Eriksen.

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

        Bloody mug 🙁

    2. 50shades of o'shea
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      And lamela

      1. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        He's worse than Ade.

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

      Two decent chances. Spurs have struggled a bit though.

    4. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Ade captainers looking sheepish

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

    Is there any way of seeing potential rises now Total FPL is bust?

  17. AWESOME-O
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone else considering Ramsey to Di Maria for a -4?

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

      O/

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

      Think it'll be Mata out for me

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

      Poborsky

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

      cool thx

    3. JJO
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      The only thing that PL missed

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

    Lefy Ulloa on bench again in UFPL, when will I learn

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

      Did same - not crying yet though

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

    That drunken Mata to Di Maria transfer I did might actually work out pretty well..

  20. copps
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    crikey di maria looks like a must-have. whipping dangerous balls into the box all the time.

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

    Will Shaw start next week?

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

      not sure. but with how poor Rojo is you'd think it's inevitable.

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

      It's fitness holding him back right now I think. Impossible to say when he will start playing 90 mins.

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

      Rojo could go to CB and Shaw LB, so yes maybe

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

    Can't wait for the City - Chelsea game! Fancy 2-0 Chelsea myself. Jose loves the big games.

    1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Need (C)osta to do well.

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      So long as Hazard scores

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

        He will probably run from his own goal, dribble past the whole team and assist the assister.. 😉

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

      Pray for a Terry CS and goal

      1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        +2

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

        Prays for Terry OG :p

    4. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'd love that, Fab-Haz-Costa all in my side

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

      if Costa and Aguero make it out injury free i'll be happy enough

  23. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Good half from the boys. 5 minutes of defensive stupidity, especially from De Laet. Ulloa looks a great signing. Thinking of investing in him.

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

      Who's your penalty taker?

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

        Nugent was last season. Might be Ulloa or Cambiasso though.

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

          He'll probably continue taking them until he misses ... and he's not infallible.

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

      Where's Simpson?

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

        Not in the squad. Think he could be next week, De Laet having a mare.

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Ulloa looking an inspired buy I have to agree, very impressed over the last while with him. Surprised, hadn't really thought he'd hit the ground running.

    4. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Agree Ulloa looks well suited to the EPL

  24. The Iron Tulip
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone care to help me work out how to get ADM in my team? 2FT and 0.1ITB -

    Krul (Hammer)

    PVA - Naylor - Chambers (Hutton, Moore)

    Fabs - Ramsey - Siggy - Sterling (Marney)

    Aguero - Rooney - Costa

    Cheers.

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

      Rooney to Ulloa and Siggy to ADM?

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

      Rambo out for adm, and downgrade defence

    3. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      ramsey out.

    4. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      downgrade aguero to Welbz and swap Rams for ADM

  25. gers23
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Early days i know and he has an assist but is Rooney still a good option? Not sure who i want between him and serg

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      will prob get falcao

    2. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Until falcao starts scoring roo looks best.

  26. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ulloa, Welbeck, Pelle

    So many great mid price forwards, don't know who to pick.

    1. Ally - Killie Til I Die
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Ulloa's hardly mid-priced?

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        he's bargain basement

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

    What to do?
    Forster
    Taylor PVA Bertrand (Wisdom Duff)
    Hazard Ramsey Siggy Sterling (Marney)
    Costa Aguero Ulloa
    2FT and 2.4 itb what to do?

  28. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Annoying di Maria. Now that we all get him, he probably won't score for 5 weeks.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      His ownership is high too! At 20%

    2. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Should've joined me, Pepin 😉

      1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I was so close...can't believe I chickened out!
