After United and Everton got Sundayโ€™s events underway earlier, we now have three more matches to focus on before another international break is thrust upon us. First up, the leagueโ€™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, weโ€™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-flightโ€™s meanest backline โ€“ 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 Samโ€™s side have impressed in the final third in recent weeks, with Stewart Downingโ€™s new central role and Diafra Sakhoโ€™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

    Mesut Ozil. Yet another player destroyed by Wenger.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Even as a non arsenal fan I find this statement ridiculous

      1. Coaly
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

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

        This. And again, a non Arsenal fan

  4. 7shadesofsmoke

    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

    Oscar has been unbelievable

    1. Royal5

      By his standards yes.

  8. faux_C

    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, 7 months ago

      Time to buy him has always been GW 8.

      1. faux_C
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

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

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Mane looks like bigger goal threat.

  9. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 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
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Ozil should play CAM simple as that

    1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 13 Years

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

      1. Robbens Diving Instructor

        • 11 Years

    2. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

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

      3. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

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

      I love Sunday fantasy football. Second time this season I've spawned 40 odd points ๐Ÿ™‚

    • SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 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

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

    • Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. Djerbil
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        he is just the salad with the Main Course

        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.

    • Mr.Irwin
      • 12 Years

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

      1. Mr.Irwin

        Dier

    • Tony Warner Fan Club
      • 12 Years

      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.

    • weetonyharris

      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, 7 months ago

        59 minutes instead of 60.....

      2. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        It's regulation time 60 minutes I believe.

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

        i think FPL only goes up to 90

      4. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years

        Because screw you.

      5. Mr.Irwin
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Extra time not counted for some strange reason

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

        Only counts for regulation time, not added time.

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

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

    • Venom Snake

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

      1. AlCapwnUK
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 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
