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.

    • 11 Years

    OMG, now Costa suspended?

    1. Mílanista

      • 14 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      No, lots of false information posted above.

    I think it would be funny if all the typical caps failed (Sanchez, ADM, Costa, Kun) after all that deliberation and the flair picks like Austin had the night

  6. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    😆 that's at least a yellow. phew.

  7. Ady87
    • 12 Years

    So what just happened?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Costa should have been booked, but the ref bottled it.

      1. Cousin Greg
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 22 days ago

        no.Watch it carefully. It was O'Shea who commits the foul and run away.
        Costa leg might be up but it was O shea who pulled down Costa.

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Costa fouled someone so everyone shouted Bookem Dano Haiwee 5 - 0 style

  9. SamH123
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

  10. NorwichCityLad
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    Is fantasyfix any good or a load of rubbish?????

  11. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    Disgraceful tackle from O'Shea. Lucky to be still on the pitch, ref bottled it.

    1. BenjaniMwaruwari
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      ROFL

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      He also bottled not booking/sending off Costa

  12. Judeksi
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    how wasn't that a yellow card?? Absolutely ridiculous 😀

  13. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    Austin up to 2bps

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Yay winning goal points

      1. The Gambler.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 22 days ago

        No, still 33

  14. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    Screw this league.

  15. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    Costa gets away with quite a lot just because the refs know he'll do it every week

    1. krzys
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      He didn't deserve at least 2 of his 4 YC

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Rooney use to get away with quite a lot but has calmed down these days

    3. Nico.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Let's be honest, i'm sure even you know that doesn't make sense.

  16. Somalion
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    RIP Costa 😥

  17. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    Never a yellow.

    1. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Red ?

    2. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      this.....

  18. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    Aguero is blatantly going to score a hat trick tomorrow.

    1. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      (C) 😉

    2. Somalion
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Soton only conceded more than a goal once this season.

      I ain't so sure!

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 22 days ago

        Kun scores when he likes though

  19. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    How did he get away with that? Thats criminal status

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Yet Rooney got a straight red for a clip. Joke of a league.

      1. Debauchy
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 22 days ago

        Perhaps ref missed it - but linesman ???

        1. RubeRx
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 22 days ago

          yea ref def missed it! was just thinking of the linesman who determined Hull's red card last week! This was far worse than Gastons hissy fit on Vertonghen

      2. Rossamous
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 22 days ago

        :'(

      3. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 22 days ago

        Clip? That was a kick to say the least.

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 22 days ago

          In a girls' league.

          1. Nico.
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 22 days ago

            On the basis that Downing was clutching his leg after the tackle and O'Shea jogged off knowing Costa never touched him?

  20. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    Austin and siggy 2 baps confirmed

  21. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    Anyone else concerned with QPR's away form therefore limiting Austin's potential?

    1. Punty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Meh ill just bench him in though fixtures

    2. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Just bench him away!

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Deffo. I'm rotating him.

    4. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Yes but my 5th mid is Jack Cork and I would have a tough time benching him after that tbh

    5. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      ya but Burnley at Loftus Road might make up for that

    6. meerlight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Nope. He's got burnley, wba and palace at home in the next six. there's goals in those games.

  22. Punty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    Wow, dummett close to 1BPS after loosing 1-0, impressive

  23. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    He may not be suspended, but he might go to jail.

      Vern Troyer is a Leeds fan 🙂

  24. Ludo
    • 12 Years

    1. Lloyd Xmas
      • 14 Years

    Is fantasyfix any good or a load of rubbish????

    1. Saniul
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      It is surprisingly very good.

      1. NorwichCityLad
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 22 days ago

        Is it might have a look

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      most accurate right now

      1. NorwichCityLad
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 22 days ago

        What for price rises or good for points?

        1. RubeRx
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 22 days ago

          rises and drops

  27. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    ADM -> Haz or Cesc ?

    1. elkunaguero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Haz if you can afford - Cesc on 4 yellows

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Haz... I guess

  28. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    right could really do with a goal fest 2nd half please!

  29. Morbius
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    Bit of a dilemma.

    ADM + Chadli for Sanchez + ???
    ADM + Baines for Sanchez + ???
    ADM + Ings for Sanchez + ???
    ADM + Ings for Rooney + ???

    0.3.m in bank - equally could bench ADM for the week - depending on whether Costa goes gung ho tonight.

    1. Lloyd Xmas
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      wait for it!!!!!!
