With the impact of Sergio Aguero’s four-goal blast reverberating around the Fantasy Football community, we shift to the three o’clock kick-offs and await further points hauls.

How ironic that, on the day that Ageuro would draw level in the race for the Golden Boot, nine-goal Diego Costa is conspicuous by his absence. This time around the talk of injury concerns rang true as the Chelsea hitman is forced to sit out his side’s trip to Palace, triggering the Fantasy Premier League vice captain for many; for some, that meant that Aguero was on hand to sweeten the pill.

While Chelsea attempt to get by without their clinical striker, elsewhere, Fantasy managers will be monitoring events at the Emirates, Goodison and St Mary’s in anticipation of points.

Arsenal, with Danny Welbeck leading the line and Aaron Ramsey back on the bench, face a free-scoring Hull side in a clash that looks set to promise goals. On Merseyside, the Leighton Baines bandwagon prepares to start its motors when Villa pay visit, while down on the south coast, the likes of Graziano Pelle and Dusan Tadic will have the opportunity to boost their stock with the visit of Sunderland.

West Ham’s trip to Turf Moor and Leicester’s visit to Newcastle round off this afternoon’s action, with no late kick-off to see us out.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I need a goalfest here start scoring!!!

  2. demonbecks
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone eyeing Sterling to Tadic?

    Need to assess after tomorrow's match given Sterling's massive ownership.

    1. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It's a possibility for me but i'd have to sell Clyne.

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

      Yes I am. Sterling hasn't looked that impressive as of late and it would allow me to upgrade my rubbish defence.

    3. Budweiser
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      just done it

  3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Aw shit. So many false positions after update today with the captain/vice malarkey.

    No way of guessing actual placing until Monday night 🙁

  4. Darsh
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any chance we can get news of the severity of Costa's injury by tonight?

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      did mourinho say anythin post match? midweek game so we should get info by then

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No. Possibly three weeks out, depending on quality of horse placenta.

  5. MattysFantasyFooty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Thanks I all the people hyping Tadic and the best of it he has 3% ownership 😀

  6. Tatty Bojangles
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    People keeping Chadli?

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      see no reason not to

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sure. Unlucky today.

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

    Costa ---> Aguero?

    Other strikers are Welbz and Pelle. Have to destroy my team to bring Kun in for one of them, or take out players I want to keep like Cesc or Baines

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      if Costa out for a bit i'm doin Costa to Aguero.. if back soon i'm doin Vardy to Sakho/Berahino and ignoring Aguero!(gulp)

  8. Egg noodle
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Do I want my GK Krul to get a CS or a Leicester city goal?

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

      Another micky mouse fan 🙄

      1. Egg noodle
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        😆

    2. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'll take a 0-0.

      Got Coloccini and Moore this week.

  9. Amgona6
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any Azpi owners here. I just got him in and he gets a red! 🙁

    1. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Thats just plain unlucky, no other way to put it. Can you transfer him to Baines?

      1. Amgona6
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I already have Baines. Thinking about Tomkins but he seems to be out now.

      2. Amgona6
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Filipe Luis might take Azpi's position for the rest of the season after this.

        1. Lloyd Xmas
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          no just no

          1. Amgona6
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            why not?

  10. Fpl Old Guard
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Poss 60 pre bonus with Krul clean sheet and 4 to play - i dont have Aguero or Tadic so I feel a bit dissapointed - going to be a huge average

  11. ktk_interista

    What we have learned today:

    1) Spurs game for Aguero is like Norwich for Suarez. Noted for the next times.
    2) Aguero can be devastating but budget options like Pelle can match him. He is nice to have but not essential.
    3) Fabregas will keep delivering the points. He is a season keeper.
    4) Saints are the real deal offensively and defensively. Pelle is a heavy hitter.
    5) Stay away from Arsenal's defense regardless of budget price options (Chambers) and of fixtures. This is not Arsenal defense of last year. More like the 2 seasons before that. Shambolic.
    6) Arsenal coverage is not that important.
    7) Not owning Baines could hurt over the next 5-6 games.

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You missed out on Eriksen.. love the guy

      1. JUSTBLAZE
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Eriksen played well today? Worth buying?

      2. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Eriksen scored. Still Chadli the better option imo.

    2. The Finnisher
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      On 5, Arsenal were never gonna be defensively solid with a back four of Bellerin, Monreal, Mertesacker and Gibbs. Chambers/Kosc returns will help.

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yup happy with chambers as long as kos is fit too

  12. JUSTBLAZE
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    How long is Costa out for? Surely must transfer him to Aguero if you don't have him?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      This is exactly what I'm wondering. Out for three weeks according to a Daily Mail (yeah, I know it could be bs) article. Going crazy.

  13. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    All I need now is 90 odd from Sterling, Di Maria, Wilson and Sigurdsson for my first every double century.

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Very likely

      1. The Finnisher
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        The way it's going there's a chance 😆

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      always hope

      #thinkbig

    3. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      The way this week is going Sterling will score 5

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        please let this happen

      2. Qubit
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Nah, next games will probably be quiet i reckon.

  14. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Well done Tadic and Pelle captainers.

    1. Surgical Attack
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers 😀 😉

    2. Darsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      And Baines and Kun

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Nah. Never captain Baines and Kun was the obvious one. Didnt see Soton to destroy Sunderland.

      2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Much lower odds.

  15. Deo
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Never thought you'd nail a 15% owned captain scoring 4 goals, and still feel meh about the gameweek... damn. :/

  16. In Bale We Trust
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Costa will be okay for midweek right?

  17. Tatty Bojangles
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Eriksen or Tadic?

    1. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Both?

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      i have both.. never imagined they'd both become such great options! well chuffed

  18. samaael
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is Coleman a viable alternative over Baines? If il get tadic in I am o.1 of baines

    1. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I think Coleman is a better option. Scores loads

    2. Rafabio
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nah Baines is a mid priced mid not an expensive defender.

    3. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Get them both, they're like the Derrick twins in Captain Tsubasa.

  19. The Iron Tulip
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone doing Fabs > Tadic?

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

      No chance

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

        Well there is a chance someone will but not me 🙂

    2. Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      not worth a FT atm , if I WC d perhaps

    3. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      i did it for -4 and it works well this gw..but u should wait for sterling performance b4 deciding..

  20. Djerbil
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Dummett 😆 on Prvisional 3 BAPS

    absolute Troll wk

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

      Doosra starting him I think

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No CS for Schlupp in the game either. Subbed on 56.

  21. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    *Sigh* just sitting here waiting for my Aguero (C) points... 😥

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Doesn't seem so good now does it?

      1. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Seems amazing.

        Hate waiting though. 😥

      2. davies
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yes.

        Just because we don't have it now - we still will.

  22. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Must resist Pelle

    Looking good but maybe another boat I've missed

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      its gw8 how have you missed it

    2. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      At that price, he is essential. He will be right behind Costa and Aguero in the scoring chart come end of season.

  23. Clam. ☘️
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So close to wc

  24. Think Tank
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I reckon there's going to be a record amount of transfer activity this week:

    1) Costa to Aguero
    2) Pelle
    3) Azpil to Baines/Luis
    4) Tadic
    5) Naismith to Sakho

    The list goes on...

  25. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Predicted average for tonight ?

    1. Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      around 40 , lots of Costa(C)

    2. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Average for tonight wont be huge.

      1. Qubit
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        around 40 as above

    3. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      45 only because of costa captains.. but overall this week maybe around 60.

  26. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    *Sigh* Ulloa suddenly stopped scoring when I put him in. 😥

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      So is that Bojan to Naismith to Ulloa now for a fair few around here?

      Sad times 😥

    2. Lloyd Xmas
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      snap

  27. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If Newcastle and Leicester finish at 0-0 I'll officially chalk this Saturday up as a fail despite 38 points from my captain.

    Amazing.

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      0-0 and my rival is back on par with me. That would be shit.

  28. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Rank 408k, with a good enough score could I push towards 100k or wishful thinking?

    1. Steevo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely possible with 85+

  29. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So Tadic exploded then, 23 points isn't too shabby as a mini-league differential.

  30. megatronaldinho
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    raise a toast to all the super-skilled costa captainers with aguero vice. so totally intentional. it was clear that this is exactly what wud go down
