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

      Is this a question? If so, yes, that is what it is at the moment - check under 'detailed stats' on FPL site.

    75 with no hits or WC. Happy with that considering I was on 23 last night.

      I think you should be very happy with that irrespective of what score you got yesterday πŸ˜›

    Larsson->Henderson should be no-brainer this week with QPR coming up for Liverpool right? 0.8 ITB

    Schmeichel
    Clyne Ivanovic Duff
    Sigurdsson Chadli Sterling Fábregas
    Pellè Costa Agüero

    Subs: Krul Larsson Dummett Wisdom

      • 14 Years
      12 years, 12 days ago

      Absolutely awesome tbh.

      He dominated United second half, so many good balls in.

      I'm encouraged to own for the future.

    How lovely that Oscar got that yellow, promting Mourinho to sub him for Willian. Milner is my first sub. 6 points out the window.

      It is the little things like that that really stick in the craw with FPL.

      1. Bobby Crush
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 12 days ago

        Considering I originally had Milner instead of Campbell aye.
        At least I get Milner and Lallana in, Willian didn't work.

    1. Kuyt Hero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A imo

    2. Ser Football 42
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 12 days ago

      Depends on who your other attackers are. Could be too much in the defense but is go with A

  13. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 12 days ago

    Hoping Costa and Cesc would steal a few more bonus points but it doesn't look likely, does it?

    Oh well. Happy enough with 61 points considering none of my defenders got more than 2. Pelle was a bit of a let down though.

  14. GunsnRoses
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 12 days ago

    Do you think 40 points today should be enough for a green at around 50k ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 12 days ago

      Yes.

    2. Kerz
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 12 days ago

      Touch and go, probably a small red.

      1. Kerz
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 12 days ago

        (I hope it's enough - got 40 today too and am ranked 56k)

    3. Declan

      Yup

  15. Dušan Citizen

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 12 days ago

      If you had 40 yesterday then no.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 12 days ago

        39 with -4

        1. Kerz
          • 12 Years

          Then no.

      1. Dušan Citizen

        Actually probably not, thinking about yesterday.

  16. Knallie
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 12 days ago

    I need Arsenal attacking coverage in the next few weeks.
    Set on Aguero, Costa and Pelle as forwards for now, so a mid is my only option.

    Sacrifice ADM, Sterling or Fabregas for Sanchez, or just go without Arsenal attacking coverage?

    Current team, 1.6 ITB

    Mannone - Krul
    Bertrand - Chambers - Wisdom - Hutton - Duff
    ADM - Fabregas - Sterling - Siggy - Albrighton
    Aguero - Costa - Pelle

    1. Funkyav
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 12 days ago

      Go without imo unless u wanna do pellets for welbeck

  17. camarozz

    63 pre bonus points to come. Only for costa scoring would hav gained ground on rivals. Had adm(c)

          Neither's 57 πŸ˜‰
