Saturday’s modest points returns pile expectations on to Sunday’s trio of encounters, as an assortment of prime Fantasy assets take to the turf.

It all begins with a pair of lunchtime kick-offs, as Spurs entertain Newcastle at the Lane and Burnley host Everton up at Turf Moor. Fantasy managers will be looking to the likes of Leighton Baines, Nacer Chadli and Christian Eriksen to provide some early cheer, before attentions turn to the main event at Old Trafford at 4pm.

United and Chelsea meet head-on in one of the season’s key clashes. It arrives in time to find Jose Mourinho’s Blues flying high on top of the table, while Louis van Gaal’s United struggle to break out of a state of flux.

The script points to a comfortable away win, with Fantasy managers eagerly awaiting the visitors’ team sheet and the potential “revelation” that Diego Costa defies the claims of his manager to spearhead the Chelsea attack. We’re in for a fascinating afternoon.

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

    Gary Neville goes really bias when he commentates for Man U (commentates not punditry) yet no one picks up on it.

    1. BabyB
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      All commentators are biased.

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah but that's because 3/4 of the English ones are useless, clueless and talk absolute crap but Neville should commentate like he pundits.

    2. Licky

      He is very biased to be fair, but then again so are others.

    Classic Mourinho performance this

    1. Podge

      Keeper has kept them in it to be fair

    Drog goal not great news for Costa owners....Jose may be even more minded to rotate his injury-prone main man in the easier games ahead

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Good pyschology Bobb - get them to sell Costa so his price comes down .... he'll soon be cheaper than Crouch.

    Once again fab profiting from hazards brilliance. Hazard did all the work ffs 🙁

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Missed quite an easy chance to be honest.

    2. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard is such a wonderful player, needs to add that end product and he would be unstoppable.

    Who got the boners in the Everton game?

      Me, when I saw another Baines assist 😆

    Are Chelsea still in the Carling cup? Bet on a yellow in the preceding game if so

    1. VougieDipond
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      play shrewsbury on Tuesday

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      A second yellow today would be useful

  7. TeamSteam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Pretty much standard Mourinho stuff. I was just thinking, how he cleared around £80m for Luiz/Mata is just insane good business.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Shaw/Lallana/lambert say hi

      1. TeamSteam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        What`s that supposed to mean?

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Doesn't really make sense, but just mean they were "better" sales

          1. TeamSteam
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Better than £38 for Mata and roughly the same for Luiz? Hardly. Lambert for £4m is whatever, Lallana and Shaw both overpriced but not nearly by as much as the former two. In my humble opinion.

  8. Says
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    You feel like Drogba could be 50 years old and he'd still score goals like that.

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Goals that require no running 🙂

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Eto'o proving it can be done 😉

  9. johnbarnes

    that Hazard miss still hurts.

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Not as much as the Aguero miss yesterday

    2. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 14 Years

      I had 40 quid on FGS... I am hurting more

  10. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard is going to score

    1. Felix_Da_House_Cat
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Just maybe not this gw.

      Miaow!

  11. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years

    And suddenly Chelsea look like they are toying with United...

    1. Syd.

      Class always wins

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years

        Dangerous game though...just trying to slow it all down...

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Oscar yellow

      Have you ever been beaten to a bad news post? 😆

    The ref is a fatty.

    Fact 🙂

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Unfit Dowd still runs more than Taarabt though.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        And Balotelli

          • Has Moderation Rights

          And Jan Molby

  14. Willis.
    • 14 Years

    Lmao Oscar

  15. Mull
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Situation. Fabregas gets his 5th yellow next week. Hazard scores 1 and every moves does the transfer just as he starts to go on a decent run.

  16. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Chelsea defenders on 6 points

  17. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Who would have thought John Obi Mikel making an appearance when Chelsea are 1-0 up

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I don't understand people who still insist on Haz over Fab. He is cheaper and gets more points. Just do what you should have done months ago.

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard would be ahead on points if he'd not missed that sitter.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        IF

        1. Mull
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          This game has a significant luck element to it. It's just bad luck that he didn't score that.

      2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Should have, could have, would have. Fab is still cheaper and that extra cash is really important.

    2. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I did Fab > Hazard this week. He's been unlucky, should've had a pen and just missed a one on one.

    3. johnbarnes
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      but cesc will not explode for points in the role he's playing in now. Hazard probably will.

    4. Felix_Da_House_Cat
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Oh HUSH.

      If enough people say it on this site, it must be true.

  19. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Come on Hazard

    1. Felix_Da_House_Cat
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      All over his face!

      Miaow!

  20. johnbarnes
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    how is that not a foul by Fellaini on Hazard?? Dowd is feckin clueless.

  21. raheemsterling
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard on any bonus points?

  22. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    ADM been pretty ghost. I dont think he is 100%. Or maybe its bc Ivanovic is glued to him!

  23. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    This f**king ref

    1. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'm saying!! This website should have a referee review section bc some are more prone to give out yellows than others. What do you think?

  24. Licky
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ivanovic's shirt looks like he went another round with Suarez...

  25. TeamSteam

    Di Maria really coming down to earth today, shocking performance.

    1. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Add a little dive to that

  26. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Only realised that Luke Shaw cost as much as Pelle Tadic and Mane combined 😆

  27. 4vets
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Lol @ DiM 😉

  28. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Good to see Januzaj has taught Di Maria a few things.

  29. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Drogba yellow

    1. Whistle
      • 15 Years

      second?

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Its an Ivanovic yellow not Drogba

      1. Lingardium Leviosa.
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        😆

      2. TeamSteam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Pretty similar men, easy to make that mistake

      3. Felix_Da_House_Cat
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        They all look the same to me
