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.

    Thanks Ivanovic... just can't catch any break this season

  3. Arsenal Deli
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Not sure the end of that game could have gone any worse. Ivanovic on -1 after the red. Then RVP scores to take away my near magnificent bet of having £5 on each Drogba first, last, and anytime.

    1. Jay_
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Unlucky mate I was rooting for u

        1. Arsenal Deli
          • 12 Years

    4. JWF
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Looks like there will be some Ivan > Baines this week. Makes Baines even more essential I guess.

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

        Take that back, he only misses the cup game?

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

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

        Chelsea - QPR next week. So no, I think many will wait.

    5. Tatty Bojangles
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Fabregas now on 2 BAPS.

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

        RVP is on the 2 baps.

        1. Van Dal
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Fabs on 1

        2. Goodfella
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          The FPL site says RVP is currently on 22BPS and Fabregas is on 24BPS.

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

            Thats just crazy

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

            Yes it just updated. RVP was ahead of Fabregas

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

              and then got booked.

        3. Feanor
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Took him out for Aguero. Sigh.

        4. copps
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

    6. Ser Football 42
      • 11 Years

      Ivan to coleman

    7. Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Ivan not suspended for QPR .. midweek Cup game

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

        Gets away with it again.

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

          now watch him get a 15 pointer

          1. Arsenal Deli
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Hopefully that happens after several knee-jerkers get rid before realising there's a cup game

        2. Pinturicchio
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Is that actually how this works? I was just thinking I'd have to figure out how to get rid of him.

        3. The Machine
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Gets away with it? You think that was a yellow?

    8. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      47 could have been worse could have been better

    9. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

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

        no

      2. philc
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Unfortunately not, in rules: If a player receives a red card, they will continue to be penalised for goals conceded by their team.

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

      Van Persie 12.4? :p

      Facts

      Ivan not banned for QPR

      1. Joe Cabot
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Oh, cos it was 2 yellows?

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

          Midweek cup game

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

        why

        1. the cromulent one
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Chelsea has a midweek cup game.

    13. Joe Cabot
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      So will Ivanovic be out for 3 then? 2 league 1 capital one?

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

        just shrewsbury

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

        3 games is for violent conduct.

        Why does this happen every time there's a red card?

      3. Grounderz
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Not a straight red so not out for 3 games. Only 2 yellow.

    14. ronmadpirlo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Ivan misses QPR game then

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

        Eh no

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

        no

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

        Nope

    15. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Wasn't a foul. Typical bull call for United

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

      2. Somalion

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

      Ivan still to play vs QPR though, they have midweek game

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

        so he isnt banned at all?

    18. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      This is my team
      http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/33704/event-history/9/

      Which is a better move?

      1) Aguero + 5.6 midfielder for Lukaku and Sterling for a hit.
      2) Sakho + Sanchez for Lukaku and Sterling for a hit
      3) Keep Lukaku and just do Sterling to Walcott. (Don't like Lukaku's game time and Walcott's game time will be limited over the next 2-3 games)

      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      As a City fan, well chuffed with that result. 😀

      2. Podge

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

        Decent week for Arsenal this as City, Pool, Spurs, Utd and Chelsea fail to win

    20. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

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

        Surely you got worse a couple of years back when there was the gw when almost all the matches got called off I don't think anyone got 30+ that week.

        1. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          I think that was the GW around Chirstmas when Everton played City....and I had Cahill Captain!

    22. Sid07
      • 11 Years

      • 16 Years

        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        It's a stupid rule, should be scrapped.

              • 14 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              We'd prefer Van Persie's wife's than his.
