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

    I know people ask this too often but where's the best place to check price rises these days?

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

    ok, Dier played 62 minutes (94-32), why no clean sheet and 2 pts? The rule is "For playing 60 minutes or more"

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

      It's for regular minutes not injury time

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

        i am with u...what happens when a team score in injury time, the defense loses clean sheet...anyway this is their rule below. there is no mention of normal time

        Clean sheets

        A clean sheet is awarded for not conceding a goal whilst on the pitch and playing at least 60 minutes.

        If a player has been substituted when a goal is conceded this will not affect any clean sheet bonus.

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

      extra time doesn't count

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Don't think added time is included.

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

      That isn't stated in the rules... is it?

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

        if you rank the player by "Total minutes played", extra time isn't included either.

        I think you'll have to swallow the pill mate

    5. TorresMagic™

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Just asking

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

      Not good enough for the 'over 75 gloaters association' but otherwise probably is.

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

      3 ahead of me and I'm happy with my score. 😀

    9. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      No, shite.

    10. OShaughnessy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      72pts * 38wks = 2736

      You've won the Grand Prize!

  22. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Is Ivanovic really going to get two baps ?

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

      Looks like it.

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

      yep. ridiculous

    3. Ser Football 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I love it!

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

    Looks like I will end up with 63points incl baps.

    8 point hit taken.

    Not great but not awful. Will probably see a red arrow.

    Was ranked 47k before the gw started.

    Thoughts?

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

      Probably a very small red imo.

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

      ?

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

      Good score, probably no dramatic change in rank

    4. Flycroft
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Small red

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

      So 55 points, I think you will drop a little but not much.
      I got 63 with no hit, and hope to just stay where I am.

    6. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I'd imagine you'll stick at around the 50K mark. 55 (once you've removed the points for the hits) isn't a bad score, and while many around here like to brag about 70+, I'd wager it's still a good 10-15 pts above the average.

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

        Cheers all. Small red arrow isn't the end of the world.

    7. RabMac
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      55 will be green I reckon.

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

      Pretty much summed it up yourself.

  24. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    31 points pre BAPS from today - not bad.

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

    Anyone know how the community team got on?

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

    Was it Evans minutes last time around when we had 'it's not fair, he played more than 60 with extra time?'

  27. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Sakho looking good?

  28. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    So Terry nowhere near the BPs despite a CS, whilst Ivanovic mops up 2 BPs despite getting booked.

    Edging closer to a Terry -> Baines transfer this week....who's with me?

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

      Looks good

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

      I would love to get in baines. But would mean a hit. So I'm not sure.

      If it's for free I say do it.

    3. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, Ivan's quickness seems to allow him the ability to make successful challenges and clearances.

    4. olidooley
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Me!

  29. The Devil Wears Prada
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    is chambers suspended for next gw now? and if he wasn't, would you rather have chambers or naylor?

  30. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    2 points less, now that Costa is down to 1 bap.

    At least he's knocked off Fabregas'.
