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

      1. Beautiful Game
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Chelsea defs loose points + costa getting the winner

    3. 7shadesofsmoke

      11 years, 9 months ago

      so much this.

      Not banking on it though!

    Mesut Ozil. Yet another player destroyed by Wenger.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Even as a non arsenal fan I find this statement ridiculous

      1. Coaly
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Most of his statements are ridiculous. Adds no value to the site, just annoying

      2. Daniel Exeter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        This. And again, a non Arsenal fan

    Özil's temperament is shocking at times. I just wish the guy would play with some heart!

    He looks great when the game is flowing and it's going his way, but when the chips are down he just seems to shrink

  5. Qubit

    Ok week, but could have been great if Id kept Haz 🙁

    Oscar has been unbelievable

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      By his standards yes.

  8. faux_C

    11 years, 9 months ago

    Tadic is starting to look pretty expensive for what he offers points wise...

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Time to buy him has always been GW 8.

      1. faux_C
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Had him since GW2, I'm not getting rid now!

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 9 months ago

          He'll kick in next game week, have no fear.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Mane looks like bigger goal threat.

  9. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Please tell me how to feel.
    I have 10 points from Sterling captain. The majority will have Costa and probably get 16 points from him. However Fabregas got the assist, but then 50% own. That goal also took a bonus point from Azpi. I think it's a little bad.

  10. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Ozil should play CAM simple as that

    1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      you should delete your account and never come back. simple as that

      1. Robbens Diving Instructor
        • 13 Years

        • 11 Years

    2. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Santi should be ahead of Ozil. Currently the better player.

        This has to stop! I jumped up as I'm a few seconds behind only to find out he hadn't.

  18. I-Taught-Danny-Welbeck-How-…

    Us Aguero captainers have been deuced.

    1. Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      only 1 point in it

      1. JPeg
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        2. Hence "deuced"

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 9 months ago

          It's 1 point

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      🙁

    3. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      The reason we captained him is because we own him. Costa captainers will have Pelle or Ulloa or some other tripe.

  19. Rasping Drive
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    I love Sunday fantasy football. Second time this season I've spawned 40 odd points 🙂

  20. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    I accept I'm the tool for not owning Costa, but

    Mourinho is a troll of the highest order. This hamstring stuff is nonsense

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      He runs around constantly for 90 mins. He looks fitter than most PL strikers.

  21. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    No-one ever talks about Oscar any more - not in FPL terms anyway

    1. Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      he is just the salad with the Main Course

    2. J0E
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      He is in my scout picks this week. Didn't work out, but he was worth a go as the best Chelsea mid over the last month.

  22. Mr.Irwin
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Died on 59 mins played. That's unfortunate to say the least

    1. Mr.Irwin
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Dier

  23. Tony Warner Fan Club
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Us Welbeck owners didn't get him in for the Chelsea game, we got him in for the goldrush that'll kick off in the next GW.

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      yep

  24. galway77

    1. Kip
      • 12 Years

      Ivan > Azpi

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Ivanovic would have been on 1BP if he didn't get that yellow

  25. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    TOtal FPL is down

    1. Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      not surprised with the amount of vile there

    2. 4vets

        😛 might be the only decent week I'll have this season, back to mid 20s next week 😀

  27. weetonyharris
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Dier came on in the 32 minute, there was 3 minutes extra time in both halves, so why does he not get 6pts?

    1. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      59 minutes instead of 60.....

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      It's regulation time 60 minutes I believe.

    3. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      i think FPL only goes up to 90

    4. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Because screw you.

    5. Mr.Irwin
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Extra time not counted for some strange reason

    6. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Only counts for regulation time, not added time.

    7. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Because he didn't play 60mins regulation time. Always been that way.

  28. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Costa - one shot, one kill.

  29. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Mourinho's record against the big boys is ridiculous. They almost beat City 1-0 too

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      he's the only one of the big managers so far that will adapt his tactics when facing stronger oposition.
      Arsenal at least packed the midfield today, but Mourinho could be the difference this season for Chelsea against City

  30. Tony Warner Fan Club
    • 12 Years

    Welbeckkkkkkkkkk
