Newcastle’s narrow win over a faltering Liverpool takes us into a batch of six afternoon kick-offs, with a host of Fantasy talent on show.

They’ll be keen interest on the matches at the Emirates and Stamford Bridge as Alexis Sanchez and Diego Costa sport the armband for an army of Fantasy managers. Both start this afternoon, with major hauls anticipated against the obliging Burnley and QPR defences, respectively.

Elsewhere, there’s some rather surprising teamsheets on show.

Roberto Martinez elects to preserve Romelu Lukaku to the Goodison bench for Swansea’s visit with Ross Barkley recalled and Samuel Eto’o retaining his start after his Turf Moor brace. Leicester boss, Nigel Pearson, makes four changes with Fantasy favourites Leonardo Ulloa and Liam Moore dropped to the timber. Sadio Mane is fit but starts on the Southampton bench at Hull, while Diafra Sakho’s shoulder injury keeps him out of West Ham’s trip to Stoke.

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

          It'll all change at 60mins anyway. But Krul because my other option was Green. And Fabs captain cause I couldnt be asked to change from last week.

  5. Breadbin
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Need more predictions where people say their players will do well in the next hour or so.

      haz

    5. Breadbin

      Costazard.

    6. Mr. Perfectionist
      • 13 Years

      Courtois

    7. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on Drogba's 'confidence'

  8. @FuzzyWarbles
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I so would rather bring in Fabs over Haz but that damn YC scenario.

    If you have neither and are ready to replace Sterling with one of them, which do you prefer? Another week without Fabs is killing me.

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

      So you have foregone Fabregas for more than one week because of a potential one week ban? Do you realise how stupid that sounds?

      1. @FuzzyWarbles
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Taking into consideration the entire spectrum of stupidity, not really all that stupid.

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

          You can bench Fabs for one week. You cant bench a bad Sterling performance.

        2. @FuzzyWarbles
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          I remember now why I dont come around here as much as I did in years past.

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

            Yup. Its better during the week. The deadzone crew are still pretty good.

            1. kitier katba
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Yay deadzone!

  9. JayBomb

    Can't understand why Rambo didn't start best mid Aresnal have ?

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

      Neither do I, annoying though 🙁

  10. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    What are Sterling owners (like myself) doing? Apart from smacking your forehead for not selling this week.

    1. Robbens Diving Instructor
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Getting rid for ADM

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Already have him.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      don't talk about foreheads like that 🙁

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

      Eriksen

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

      Sterling/Welbz > ADM/Sakho

    5. Timtastic03
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No idea, no replacements I like

    6. JayBomb
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Nasri ???

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

        this might be the one

    7. The Finnisher
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Finding room for Sanchez I think

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

        have sanchez and ADM and sterling sigh might look for oscar at times

    8. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I am not that bothered. I was going to sell for Ramsey, so no big loss.
      Probably selling next week. Will try to get Sanchez.

    9. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Selling, maybe to Oscar

    10. Kip
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      i have to downgrade

      Tadic/Mane/Boyd it will be

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

    Colo CS and 2 bonus first sub, here's to hoping Kelly won't play The Sunderland game

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

      Have him first sub and Krul right next to him. No chance I see eithers points coming in though.

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

        Same here, can't believe Pool didn't score

  12. Prince of Persia
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    How is Barkley looking?

  13. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Brings Drogs on for Costa now Mou

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'm genuinely worried about this happening

    2. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      He will, Costa can't be risked too much on his comeback.

    3. Granville

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      HT?

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yup

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      For his half time oranges

    3. Absinthe Minded
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Injured?

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        No, just half time.

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

    Costa isolated. Take him off

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

      He's playing very poorly. Still injured probably.

  17. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Sanchez is so far ahead of any Arsenal player it's ridiculous.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      He's so, so good. Pity we didn't sign him but I think he made the right choice. Arsenal suit him better, too.

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

    4 cs intact at ht. Bet I end up with one at most 🙂

    1. MJ6987

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      So basically, Moses.

      1. Wirtzle Gummidge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thanks, clicking all those links seemed soul destroying.

    4. A Defender's Nightmare
      • 13 Years

      Not this again!

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

    Not taking a hit this gw is looking so far like a differential. glad i did not.

  21. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    All these two games need is QPR and Burnley tired in the second half giving up on defending.

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

    Aguero captainers must be happy

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

      So far, yes.

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

      It's only halfway but yes

    3. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I doubt it. He is yet to play and garner a significant number of points that would cause enjoyment to those that captained him.

  23. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Last week: 4 goals a game averaged. This week...

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      change your grav please, i cant stand looking at lovren 🙁

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

        I will soon. Might revert to putting Sturridge in there as hope.

  24. dr manhattan
    • 16 Years

    Costa 0 Sanchez 0 at half time 🙂

  25. Tim Canterbury

    1. The Machine

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yes half time. Ha ha ha...

  26. Total Foot 5

    11 years, 5 months ago

    Would u use FT to drop Welbeck for Pelle?
    *yes sou fixtures will get togher in 2 gwks, but elle seems quite fixture proof.

    1.yes
    2.no

  27. Sebbo29

    Patience guys patience, still got 45 minutes to go, a lot can happen

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

      I'm relaxed. But that's the kind of guy I am. A cool cat, a smooth operator.

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

    Will probably take an assist or one goal from costa now. Nothing more

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely. Any points. I suspect we are getting 2 points, maybe even 1

  29. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    That statement by Hazard today I am no Messi no Hazard and don't expect to score 50 goals. I am Hazard and I am happy if my team is winning

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

      Not greedy enough
