Following on from Arsenal’s narrow win over the Baggies, Fantasy managers shift their sights to the three o’clock kick-offs, with six matches to occupy our thoughts.

Points should be plentiful, with the likes of Man United, Swansea and QPR enjoying home comforts against opposition that could and should see them notch goals.

The team news finds Louis van Gaal recall Juan Mata, Marcos Rojo and Ashley Young to his starting XI against Hull, as Luke Shaw misses out through injury and Paddy McNair and Tyler Blackett drop to the bench. Radamel Falcao returns from injury to join them amongst the subs.

The news from Anfield is even more significant, as Steven Gerrard is “rested” from the Liverpool starting XI to face Stoke by Brendan Rodgers. Philippe Coutinho comes into midfield, whilst at the back, Jose Enrique replaces Javier Manquillo and Kolo Toure retains his start ahead of the out-of-sorts Dejan Lovren who sits alongside Gerard on the timber.

Sam Allardyce is able to call on an array of “yellow flag” assets with Stewart Downing and Cheikhou Kouyate making returns for West Ham; Matt Jarvis also gets a start against Newcastle, who have Cheick Tiote and Yoan Gouffran back in their midfield.

Garry Monk makes two changes to his teamsheet as the Swans take on Palace: both Wayne Routledge and Jonjo Shelvey make returns in place of Nathan Dyer and Tom Carroll. Brede Hangeland comes in for the injured Damien Delaney in the visitor’s back four.

There are few surprises on the teamsheets at Turf Moor, as Joe Cole replaces Charles N’Zogbia for visitors Villa. Whilst down at Loftus Road both Eduardo Vargas and Niko Kranjcar get starts for Harry Redknapp’s side with Sandro missing out through injury and Bobby Zamora out of the matchday squad with a back problem.

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

      But still need them to score and get some points. 6 pointers for all the other players I own would be fine.

      So long as someone popular doesn't score a brace, it shouldn't matter much.

      1. Bubz
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Most of my players are popular 😆

    And that's why I don't play Caulker.

    1. Bubz
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Why do you own him?

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Always had some other priority to sort out. Played him this week because Leicester haven't scored in like, 5 games. I'm such an idiot for looking at "stats"

  15. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Yun excitement didn't last long.

  16. SW6

  17. CABAYE4
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Can't believe the QPR hype on here!

    Did anyone really think they'd keep a CS!

    1. SW6
      11 years, 11 months ago

      This. They were in all of the Scout Pick teams.

    2. Timtastic03
      11 years, 11 months ago

      This, it's been ridiculous

    3. Syd.
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Not me

      Wouldn't touch them with a 10ft barge pole

    4. Mark

      Against a Leicester side without a goal in five?

      Kind of.

      1. Timtastic03
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Flip that around, who would you expect Leicester to end that run against?

        1. Mark
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Having blanked at home to Sunderland? Not really. I'd have said QPR looked a decent bet for a clean sheet - not the best - but one of the top 3-4 on offer. Caulker picked accordingly and for his goal threat at set-pieces.

          1. Jax
            11 years, 11 months ago

            QPR are bottom after all

              • Has Moderation Rights
              11 years, 11 months ago

              Indeed....does that make Charlie Austin a bad idea though?

      2. Jax
        11 years, 11 months ago

        had to score sometime.

        1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
          11 years, 11 months ago

          nice gambler's fallacy there

      3. CABAYE4
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Have you seen them try and defend?

        I've had some shocking picks over the years (and now!) but this is up there.

      4. Dempsey
        11 years, 11 months ago

        They were obviously due a goal then...

    5. Shifty
      11 years, 11 months ago

      lol was gonna post this. the love-in was insane...i couldn't even use logic to convince people.

    6. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      11 years, 11 months ago

      thought they had as good a chance as they would all season, at home to a Leicester side with one goal in seven matches or something ridiculous

    7. Black Knights
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I've been saying the same for a while. Yun was becoming essential the way people talk on here. Foolish.

  18. Parm

    This always happens when I hop on a cheap defender bandwagon.
