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

    Tadic or Downing was the dilemma this week. 🙄

    Would have also allowed me to keep DDG.

      11 years, 7 months ago

      Oh balls.

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

    Well, the dreams of a Rio CS was pleasant while it lasted... 🙁

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

      If you are dreaming about Rio Ferdinand, you need to see a doctor

  3. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Lol at qpr.

  4. rohan
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    I really want Alexis Sanchez for next week. Not sure if it'd be wise getting rid of Sterling though 😐

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      You don't want Alexis. You want Chadli.

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      i wanted to get rid of Eriksen.. second thoughts now

    3. mitro
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      you could wait for theo

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

    Is 58 all out (if Costa gets 1 bap) about average or below average around here?

    1. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Around here it is probably close to average

    2. Prime
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Shouldn't be below average on here. Well above overal average

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

      I've got just a bit higher with it and not too happy. Disappointed I couldn't get a single CS this week.

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

        than that*

    4. Xhaka Kahn't
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Think it's about Average

    5. Crouching Tiger
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      About average or very slightly better.

    6. Green Arrow
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Should be average.

  6. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Luckily for me the savings I made choosing Welbeck over Aguero allowed me to upgrade Chester > Baines

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

      😆 I know this feeling!

  7. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Literally a second before qpr conceded transferred Caulker out for Bertrand. Feeling better about my defence in the future..!

    1. Xhaka Kahn't
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Wow.

      1. Xhaka Kahn't
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        My commiserations! Still it's a marathon not a sprint

  8. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    QPR's defence is utter cack, bye bye Rio, hello Leighton

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

      I'm amazed people still have QPR defenders - or even had them in the first place

  9. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    58 with Costa/Fab bonuses to go.

    That about average or above it?

    1. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Above

    2. Baz
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      above

    3. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      exactly the same here, 58 with Fab/Costa BPS to go, same team? 😉

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Haha could be! Did you captain Siggy?

        1. Sebbo29
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Nope, captained Costa but got Siggy as well, so not the same then I guess - no CS though 🙁

    4. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

    1. Margarido

    2. emperikal
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Beauty! Benching Welbeck over him was a success

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

        We're needing all your Downing pts for the team, it's looking like our last chance saloon for T Belg Emps.

        1. emperikal
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Let's hope for a lot more then! Thankfully Di Maria (C) came off

  12. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    OG given

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

    VougieDipond around!
    Two 9 pters on your bench - ouch.
    Tough call on Hazard.

  14. Willis.
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Wtf clearly Sakho's goal

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Clearly an OG

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

      He didn't touch it

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Too easy 🙂

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

      Sakho, another player ruined by Willis.

    5. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      no it wasn't

  15. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Is Aguero now essential?

    Might have to put him in before he rises.

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Not at 12m

      1. TeamSteam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        This. But he is the -only- City pick, imo.

      2. CelticBhoy1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Pelle & Terry

        Or

        Aguero and Taylor

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

      If you say Costa, Fab/Hazard, ADM are essential, then it's a case of who is the next best heavy hitter? You have to spend your money somehow. Ozil, Silva, YaYa, Ramsey, Rooney all disappeared off the screens

  16. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Is fab due baps?

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

      He should get them IMO, but he wont

    2. Green Arrow
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Don't think so.

  17. Professor Abel X
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Funny that Ozil wasn't a million miles away from a BAP today, he was shocking

    1. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      hes always shit

  18. Always (C)ane
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Which one to go?
    Need money to get ADM.

    A. Pelle -> Welbeck
    B. Aguero -> Welbeck
    C. Moreno -> Alderweireld
    D. Bego -> Guzan
    E. PvA -> Moore

  19. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Caulker just do a goal, all you're good for.

    1. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Probably the most threatening QPR player

  20. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    So Ener touched it with his hand. Can that be his assist instead?

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

    Aguero > Sturridge then?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Lol

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

        😉 I'm serious!

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          I know. Aguero is the best striker in the league and in great form. Why would you swop him for another injury prone player in a worse team?

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

            QPR next 🙂

            1. Paul Psychic Octopus

              Sterling an option no?

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

            Listen to the man. Take it from a Lfc-fan, dont aquire any new players from us at this time.
