Sunday provides a quartet of matches, bristling with Fantasy talent and the promise of points aplenty.

Three afternoon matches get us underway at White Hart Lane, the Hawthorns and the Stadium of Light, before we take a trip to south Wales as Arsenal and the on-fire Alexis Sanchez crash in at the Liberty Stadium.

The big team news surrounds today’s encounter between Spurs and Stoke, where Harry Kane, priced at just 4.8 in the Fantasy Premier League, is given his first league start after firing nine goals in all competitions. We’ll be monitoring his impact in that one, whilst keeping one eye on Everton’s Leighton Baines’ progress in the clash with Sunderland. Meanwhile, in the Midlands, we can assess Newcastle’s progress as they drop in on West Brom with an array of low-to-mid price differentials on show – not least Saido Berahino.

Once that trio of matches concludes, it’s over to Swansea and Arsenal to see us out, as Sanchez goes for his fourth double figure haul in as many Gameweeks.

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

              11 years, 5 months ago

              Either Poland or Faro should be good, wouldn't mind Poland myself but Warsaw is a boring place. Poland cheap as chips for food and beer

          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Lucky fecker, it's going to be make or break for both sides

          1. Hammers Select
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Not make or break for Ireland in my eyes, we are very capable of beating anyone in Dublin.

            Scotland cant afford to lose.

    2. Hammers Select
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Cant wait. Really hope we sneak a win 🙂

      Should be some atmosphere!

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

        Aw stop, haven't been this upbeat about an Irish side in a while

        1. Hammers Select
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          I'm nervous about this one, would take a draw right now.

          But IF and its a big IF, we manage to beat them then they are in big trouble.

          I object to being called that. However I've checked out your team and seen your name and I wish you good day. Don't want no trouble here. 🙂

          1. Hammers Select

    4. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Having Coleman and McCarthy back is key.

      1. Hammers Select
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        McGeady on form will be the key, surely set up for McCarthy to set McGeady up for the winner

        1. AH 🙂

          Yeah true he has the magic and that would be the sweetest of goal/assist combos.

          We might play some football with Whelan out.

          1. AH 🙂

        Coleman is so wasted at RB though

          • 11 Years

          Yeah , Well sure that were he plays ! Sergio ramos is wasted at CB lol ?

  5. d1sable
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Kaboul is the main issue, hes just not a defender.

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      He's not a football player

      1. d1sable

        But he is ðŸ™

        1. Smarty Pants

          He is the capital of Afghanistan

    if only Dier was playing i might actually win my H2H

  8. The Machine
    • 12 Years

    Why is Pocchetino playing that kid again after his embarrassing show in his only other game?

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

      Because his comparable is Kaboul, and a one legged goat would look more like a footballer than Kaboul does.

  9. Would an idiot do that?
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Set up for a Chadli and Mason goal now!

  10. Woy of the Wovers
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Thrilling Hockey tie on the WC thread.

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

    Early away team goals increases the chances of Chadli scoring

    Just kidding, Spurs are awful

  12. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years

    Those who told me to bring in Kaboul........shame on you

    P.s. I didn't

    1. Woy of the Wovers

      So no harm done.

      As a spurs fan I've been telling everyone to get rid of those assets...even chadli...

      1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I think Chadli has his value. Only Spurs player that looks like he might get something from every BPL game they play IMO.
        Benched him this GW for my 1wk punt, Diame so what do I know.

    • 15 Years

    Here are my options:

    A) Bertrand and Tadic ----> Yun and Sanchez (-4)

    B) ADM -----> Sanchez

    Any thoughts on either of these two plans?

    Currently split on 2 all. Can anyone convince me adm is going to become resurgent as he seems pretty useless atm.

        Ok, so who exactly rates Januzaj, again?

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

          united fans and I

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

            Wouldn't expect a sane response from United fans, but may I ask you why?

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

              young, good passing, decent shot very technical and can beat a man when he wants to. Not in form atm and plays in the wrong position imo.

        2. 50shades of o'shea
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          When he had two games lots of people did. 7 countries battling out for him...

        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah , Hope hes okay .
        Coleman , O'Shea , Wilson , Ward ? backline ?

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

          Yeah thank god Coleman is back. Defence is shaky enough. could do with holding on to Wilson

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Coleman starts, McCarthy immense in breaking up attacks, Naismith benched also

  23. RamaJama

    Who to get for Rose?

    Max 5.1

    1. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yun

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

      Reid

    3. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Reid or Chambers maybe

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

      Ok thanks! Think the strongest options for 5.1 is Chambers and Reid at the moment.

      Mercenaries... not a team.

    3. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Never get the feeling they are a side, merely 11 players who happen to have the same shirt and can occasionally have there day.

      The CB partnerships are shakey and really dont fill people with confidence.

      The Strikers are lazy and meant to be International quality.

      Too few of there attacking options really enjoy tracking back.

      Ha, identical front 8 to my draft WC team below.

      You going without Soton def?

    Krul, Wisdom, Baines, Chadli and Berahino playing for me now.. Difficult to judge if its going good so far or not.. many clean sheets

    How does this wildcard team look?

    Foster Myhill
    Baines Betrand Chambers Dummett Yun
    Sanchez Hazard Siggy Downing Boyd
    Aguero Costa Austin

    Leaves 0.6. Anywhere I could spend it? Anyone obvious missing?

      Bertrand??? Cahill for Bertrand?

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

        Sold Cahill for Chambers this week after weeks of doing nothing. Not rushing back there.

        What's wrong with Bertrand?

      Fab instead of haz

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

        Injury doubt and 4 YC's. Plus I've had Haz all season so I'm sticking 🙂

      Great. Pull the trigger.

      Same front 8 as what I'm considering... Like it, maybe get rid of Bertrand? Another gk combo?

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

        Yeah was considering Naughton for Bertrand until today's game. Maybe a WHU def instead? Just think Soton will be solid all season.

        Which other gk combo?

      chadli instead of downing and get sakho or punt long?

      1. random.hero
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        stick with downing and don't punt long

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

        Hmm not too keen on Chadli. Like the look of Austin most for the budget striker atm.

    I wasn't following any games and I have Begovic, this guy sends me a message dissing Begovic for getting a yc...and then nothing. So I'm all excited because I think he saved a penalty...then check, and find out he's still Asmir "no-points" Begovic.
