After United and Everton got Sunday’s events underway earlier, we now have three more matches to focus on before another international break is thrust upon us. First up, the league’s last two unbeaten teams go head-to-head at the Bridge, as Chelsea take on Arsenal in one of a couple of 2.05pm kick-offs.

All eyes will be on Cesc Fabregas as he plays host to his former club but from a Fantasy perspective, we’ll be looking for Diego Costa to continue a record that has seen him score in every home appearance so far. Danny Welbeck will also be on many a radar as the Gunners prepare for an outstanding run of fixtures from Gameweek 8 onwards.

Elsewhere, Mauricio Pochettino faces a tough task to derail the Southampton bandwagon as his former club roll up to the Lane. Spurs have failed to score in each of their last two home matches and face the top-flight’s meanest backline – the likes of Ryan Bertrand, Dusan Tadic and Graziano Pelle all carry strong form into this one and have the upcoming fixtures to flourish further.

Later in the day, The Hammers welcome QPR to Upton Park in the final match of the Gameweek. Big Sam’s side have impressed in the final third in recent weeks, with Stewart Downing’s new central role and Diafra Sakho’s clinical finishing making them the standout options for the hosts right now.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          56 with baps from Naismith, ADM to come.

          Hazard, Cahill and Costa (c) in this game too.

      The average was poor yesterday, doubt it will beat 50 at this rate.

      1. rickardinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        That's great, but I don't look like beating 30 at this rate

  2. FPL Daniel

      Arvin, are you giving me credit for preventing your crazy Lampard for Siggy move? 😛

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Yes!! Thank you very much! All you! 😀

        Gave a shout out to all the sensible people who prevented me from selling Siggy/DDG for Lampard/Schmiechel

        Thanks again 🙂

  6. Jafooli

    Hope Chelsea bring on Costa for the 2nd half

  7. Mulder
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Both Chambers and Koscielny should have been sent off. Standard Arsenal referee bias.

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

      Cahill ?
      But I agree that Arsenal are lucky to have 11

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      And Cahill...

      1. havel
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        and hazard for diving

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

    Mourinho and Wenger are easily the best two managers in the league, no one else gives as much entertainment.

    Been on here for a pleasant 4 hours today and then Daniel rolls his hand grenade of a troll bomb into the room.
    Just grow kid, stop being an Erse.

    1. Kip
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      it's hardly trolling when you see it's coming from Daniel

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Really, explain that to me Kip?

        1. Kip
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          you know how he is on matchdays

          I like the passion tbh

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            So if someone persists in doing something then it becomes all right, there's Mr Z beating up on someone again, yeah, it's all right, it's MrZ he always does that!. Not how it works for me.
            Maybe making too big a deal but it really pisses me off.

    2. Grounderz
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      He's been terribly annoying lately. Not only lately, I think he's been that way for the past two seasons. He was alright back when I first joined FFS in around 2011/12.

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Hey J, awful tight in the Ozzie game....!

      Nothing special.

      Well...but Rose is shutting down his crosses

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers! Will probably take him out this week

        1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, he's good but there are others performing better for less monies

  11. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years

    Just think, somewhere out there is an Ulloa captainer and Courtois owner...

    Things can always be worse!

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      odds are its an 11 year old under a train station in Beaumont!!

    2. Thick Of It
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Someone in one of my mini leagues captained Ulloa...ouch

    8th repost (this week, and I hope last)

    Fantrax 2-tier draft league starting tonight after the games.

    Currently have four spots left open in 2nd division. May have more and may start additional related leagues during next international break if there's enough interest. First e-mail, first in (no special preferences for rank or name).

    Both leagues are 20-team leagues. Will definitely expand to three leagues next season. Bottom three teams in leagues relegated down. Top 3 teams in lower leagues promoted.

    If interested, e-mail planeticket@mail.com and I will send you an e-mail back from my hotmail account that I don't want to post in a public forum.

    Thank you,
    HeelsOverHead

      Is the draft tonight?

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        yes... but it is a slow draft... draft starts at 6pm in the UK but is built to take up a good part of the int'l brak

    2. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Hey! I signed up last night. Is the draft order set already? I was listed as 1st in the order but I guess it's subject to change? Starts at 6pm GMT right?

  13. thepuntmaster

    What does it matter if Costa blanks? I've captained him but so has everyone else in my mini-league. It's boring but everyone is getting the same points!

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

      a depressing comment from thepuntmaster

      1. thepuntmaster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        puts my name to shame 😉

    2. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      My thoughts exactly. My ML rival has exactly the same problem as me. No worries!

      I guess it matters for the OR-interested.

    3. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)

    5. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      One of my rivals captained Di Maria + I could use some points to make this week seem a bit better.
