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.

    Best defender for 5.2? Williams at Swansea?

      Woeful top page comment. I am ashamed.

    2. Wouter

      Might as well get Naylor then, and spend the 4.2 elsewhere.

      1. Wouter

        0.5*

    I think they should introduce one rule change next year. 2 pts for penalty earned, no matter it is converted or not, just like in UCL. Why the earner of the penalty should be punished if the taker doesn't converts it

      +1

      You could make the same case for any decent chance created. If someone serves up a golden chance on a plate and the striker spoons it over you just have to live with it. Shouldnt be any different for a penalty

    screw it. i'm not laughing at costa owners but i am absolutely loving him doing nothing today. makes up for the pain of swansea at home

      You know you want to

    3. Manamongst

      You would have thought that people would have learned a week ago from the Aguero dud...

  6. lachyas
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Whoa, 90 post-baps with Aguero to come. Not too shabby.

  7. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Ivan to Chambers with FT? Or do something with Bego?

    1.2 banked.

  8. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    A terrible week so far for the mini league - leader has Sanchez captain

    http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/32939/event-history/10/

    Cahill + Sterling ---->Wisdom + Sanchez for free? Or use the WC? DDG, Siggy, Tadic, Welbeck, Chester, Moore, Hamer would all be cut

  9. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    As a Sanchez captainer and Aguero owner, should I actually want Aguero to blank tomorrow?

    1. Screaming Midget
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Totally depends on your own ML and your own rivals.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I mean for Overall Rank

    2. Timtastic03
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, most would've captained Costa..Kun scoring well should see you move up

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

      Just want him to score less than your captain

    4. Mr. Perfectionist
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yup or maybe a 5 pointer

    5. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Hell no! (Sanchez owner, Aguero captainer)

  10. Screaming Midget
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Reckon Azpilicueta will get his place back next GW?

  11. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Best defender for 5m or less? Apart from Chambers

    1. Screaming Midget
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Taylor @ Swansea?

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

      Jenkinson

  12. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Would you sell Sanchez and Sakho to get Aguero and Downing?

    1. Surgical Attack
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      No way dude

    2. Game of Stones
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      No, I'm most likely getting Sanchez & Sakho myself, and you're planning on selling them :O

    3. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      No, but I would find a way to get Aguero.

    4. Manamongst
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      que no.

    5. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      This means I have to live without Aguero barring an injury to one of my key expensive players. I am terrified not to have Aguero with City's fixtures. Can Sanchez match him? Bear in mind Walcott and Ramsey will be in the team soon.

  13. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Third time
    Sterling+Siggy+WElbeck>Sanchez+Downing+Berahino/Sakho for -4

    1. Yay or Nay
    2. Berahino or Sakho?

  14. Game of Stones
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling > Sanchez

    Welbeck > Sakho OR Berahino?

  15. Lingardium Leviosa.
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling > Sanchez, Terry > Chambers -4?

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      OMG yes

  16. Jay_
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Chambers haul has got a lot of Costa captainers out of jail , sickner

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        it doesnt really. Costa failed, Chambers is a completely different thing altogether

        1. Jay_
            11 years, 4 months ago

            He covered Costa points unexpectedly, so lucky for them

            1. GREENDREAMS11
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

              he didnt. costa still gets 2 points. or 4 as a captain. its that simple,

              if a Costa owner happens to have Chambers then so be it. still doesnt change the Costa return.

        2. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Not me

        3. super zlatan
          • 15 Years

          I know. Very annoying.

      2. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Looks like I will be on 53

        With aguero (c) and adm to go.

        Don't have chambers or Sanchez.

        Decent?

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

          Aye

        2. Jay_
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Yh good going to get that without Arsenal big scores and C to go

          How to fit Sancez in?

          Siggy-> Downing

          1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            No. I can remove any mid for Sanchez

          Have we had a big score check yet?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            46 plus Chadli and Aguero, 5 baps predicted

        5. Jimbo123
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Shall I do Cazorla --> Theo right away before someone else in my draft league snaps him up!?

          1. Mílanista
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Yes, amazed he's not already taken in a draft.

        6. KelvinMateus
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Should I get Fabregas AND Hazard?

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

          Can't really get Sanchez in, which is a shame, might get Theo after the international break

          Sterling --> Tadic, Downing, Mane, Oscar?

          Any thoughts?

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

            or use both FT and get Krul and Fab?

          what the chelsea game may show though is that qpr have turned the corner a bit. a bit like palace last season qpr hunting could be a thing of the past now

          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          @ granville. Why do you made Mark do his transfers. It was your advantage him to sit tight and not to get Alexis

          1. Granville
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            He was always going to get Alexis, but at least he went with the Costa captaincy.

        13. MJ6987
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Worth an 8 point hit to get Sanchez?

          Or wildcard?

          Or forget him for now?

          1. Frank Black
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Depends who you're selling.

            1. MJ6987
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

              Sterling, Welbeck and DDG

              To

              Sanchez, Sakho and Foster

          2. Game of Stones
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Will be hard to get him later though, he will skyrocket in price...

            • 15 Years
