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.

    Halftime knee-jerk thoughts;

    Sterling/Welbeck/Someone > Sanchez/Sakho/Anyone 0.3 cheaper than Someone (-4)

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

      Sounds good to me

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

        First hit of the season 😯

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

          I can feel my first hit of the season coming this week as well.

      solid

      Sterling/Welbeck > Sánchez/Sakho (free)

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

        No brainer

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

        Wish I could

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

        Think I need Sakho to drop 0.1 for that.

    4. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, good moves regardless of 2nd half

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

    Sanchez has been great, best I'v seen him play in a Arsenal shirt. Should have scored tho.

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

      Its tough for my GK Heaton 🙁 Wonder how he is handling his shots...

    2. Jax
      • 16 Years

      Was better v hull

      1. Chambo

    2. SkyByBo

      Hazard captainers like me! Still another 45.

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

        He wont get anything mate... I was stupid to fall in Hazard's trap four weeks back because everyone talked abt explosion.

    3. Captain Shirokov

  4. AlCapwnUK
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    No brainer:

    Mignolet --> Krul

    Sterling --> Fabregas

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

      You have Mignolet? 😆

      Should have gotten rid ages ago! Krul looks an OK replacement given Newcastle's better form.

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

        I have kept meaning to get rid. Almost got back to back CS by mistake, but he has to go now with Chelsea coming up

  5. Captain Shirokov

  6. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years

    Sanchez looks unplayable.. Can see a haul incoming the second half. Costa(c) and Sanchez non owner here

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

      would you have him over ADM next week?

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

    Wanyama's goal was brilliant

  8. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Fantastic first half from Stoke, we should be 2-3 goals up. Unfortunate.

    Bojan, Walters and Moses all look dangerous. Tempo is so high.

  9. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Why did Alcaraz go off?

    1. Ludo
      • 12 Years

  12. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Any mention of Sakho? Welbeck to Sakho and Sterling to Sanchez looks a priority this week for me

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

      Hoping for a Pelle yellow so I can do the same.

  13. Lingardium Leviosa.

      Mane

    2. Breadbin
      • 15 Years

      • 14 Years

      Sanchez if you can afford, Sanchez by getting rid of other players if you can't afford.

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

        can afford Sanchez, but not convinced about him...

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

      Nasri or Oscar

    6. Podge
      • 15 Years

    7. Pablitto
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

    8. Spoox777
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Thinking of Ramsey. I only have 0.1 in the bank & both are priced @ 8.8m

    4. Debauchy

      Changed to Kun - but very unlucky for you so far. should have had at least assist and goal.

  17. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    a) Sterling Sig to Hazard Downing - would get Walcott in as soon as possible after this
    b) Sterling Clyne to Sanchez Dummett

    Team is:

    Guzan 4.0
    Clyne Bertrand Chambers Wisdom Duff
    ADM Fab Sterling Sig Boyd
    Kun Costa Pelle

  18. FPL Daniel

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

      Why is he on the bench?

    4. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Don't hold your breath. Surely he will be brought on with Everton in need of a goal.

  20. The Machine
    • 12 Years

    1. 7shadesofsmoke

    1. Breadbin

  22. Henry Hill
    • 16 Years

  23. Ludo
    • 12 Years

    Lol @ Everyone without Sissoko, Ayoze, Fabregas, Oscar, Wanyama, Moses and Newcastle, Southampton, Chelsea, Arsenal, Burnley, Everton (except Alcaraz), Swansea, Leicester, West Brom or Stoke defence.

    Am I doing it right?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years

    Hazard is a joke donkey player. Can't even score/assist against QPhaha

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.

      +1

  26. rickardinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I did Siggy>Oscar last night, but the system didn't register my team confirmation so Oscar is on my bench instea of Downing ;(

    Unless I can get FPL towers to correct this obvious error I think I'm going to give up with this game, just can't take the frustration :/

    1. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      oh no man that's not fair, sorry to hear, hoping for a Downing goal then (have him playing too)

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

        The worst part is that I honestly don't know how it could have avoided confirmation. I was at a cafe with public wifi that must have cut out for a second... Can't think of an explanation :/

        *cries*

    2. 4vets

    4. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      yea my bench adjustment didnt register either. its not as big of deal for me but still, weird!

    5. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Did you notify them prior kick off ?

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

        Yeah I emailed an hour or so before both West Ham an chelsea games. Both Oscar and Downing were in the respective starting lineups so I wouldn't have benefitted at all at the time.

    6. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years

      You've told us once or twice before. Or three. Or four.

      We feel sorry for you but ENOUGH

        11 years, 5 months ago

        Why the hate?! It's only the 2nd time I posted this btw, and this time it's because Oscar scored. Don't read my posts if you're just gonna hate

            Why don't you go to my post history and count the times then. I've posted it twice.

            I agree that it's a joke. It's just a game, surely you don't have to be such a na zi about it

      I am starting to come around on the fact that Welbeck is just bad.

        I don't think he's bad exactly, but as an Arsenal fan I'm already looking forward to the return of Giroud...

    a) Sterling Sig to Hazard Downing - would get Walcott in as soon as possible after this
    b) Sterling Clyne to Sanchez Dummett

    Team is:

    Guzan 4.0
    Clyne Bertrand Chambers Wisdom Duff
    ADM Fab Sterling Sig Boyd
    Kun Costa Pelle
