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

    what was suarez' ownership last season at its highest? Costa at 66% atm

    1. nevertrustbony
      • 15 Years

      around 53 at highest, ramsey around 63

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

        surely it was more, no?

        1. nevertrustbony
          • 15 Years

          definitely not, common misconception on this site

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

      Not much more than 50%. He started too late for many of the dead teams. Ramsey was highest with about 60%

    Operation Aguero Falcao Costa has begun.

    Might have to come at the expense of Raheem.

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Sturridge may change that plan.

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I have a few concerns about Pool currently. It is an unfortunate situation but they have some kind fixtures.

    2. FPL Touches

      Walcott though, after Int break he'll be fresh and ready to go

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years

        Coming back from an ACL I may just give him a couple of games grace first.

  7. 7shadesofsmoke

    I'm a neutral, and i really like Mourinho and a few Chelsea players (inc Costa and especially Fab & Matic) but today I am a massive Arsenal fan for the day.

    Arsene Wenger is a great man. I really like him and, while I admit he can get a bit 'toys-out-the-pram', he's great to listen to in press conferences when his head is straight.

    I really hope he can get a win today and put a dent in that formidable Mourinho record.

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

      Also,

      Welbeck ๐Ÿ˜Ž

      1. Ady87

        Agreed.

    2. rickardinho

      Well aren't you the most neutral person on the internet! Are you Swiss?

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

        while I love Switzerland, and would be equally proud to have Swiss heritage, I am actually an Englishman.

  12. La Roja

    If you didn't have ADM now, would you get him before wba, CHE, city? I kinda want to wait, but the price is a bit worrying.

    1. Planet Jo
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Same worry. I'm getting, unless Lamela gets a hatter today

        I really don't have any good alternative to drop. Keen on keeping Fab, Sterling, Tadic and Siggy.

  18. Green Arrow

    Baines never missed a penalty in the PL prior to today. Wenger never beat Mourinho prior to today. Just saying.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years

      Good thing the first point in no way, shape or form influences the second point.

  28. Mr Sarcastic
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    More important to own

    a) Aguero

    d) DiMaria

    I think I could go without ADM until gw13, but he'll be at least 10.5 then.

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

      Both very big players IMO.
