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.

    RVP wasn't that good again today. People may ignore it due to his returns but I ain't sold

      I'm sorry, mate. But this is all so wrong.

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years

        He was terrible again.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          Right.

      2. The Light Knight
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        I would like to hear your thoughts why. Poor control on a number of occasions, 1 chance created

    2. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Nobody should own him anyway.

    3. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      A lay off and a wonderstrike. And the goal was farcical. Should've laid it off left to Rooney, stumbled over the ball, Chester somehow ran by it and then he hits it.

      Ugh.

  22. Frank Black

    THE UNDERLYING STATS PEOPLE, THE UNDERLYING STATS!!!

  24. BeachBadger

    11 years, 19 days ago

    3.9 bench fodder options are disappearing 🙁

  25. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    So the average is about 40 right? Points checks are so pointless as only people with good scores tend to post. Especially when the week isn't even finished with some real big hitters still to play. 🙄

    1. Ice
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      40, more like 20…..

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        I think you missed my point

        1. Ice
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 19 days ago

          Not true, plenty of low scores have posted as well, i've sen from 44 to 20...

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      The number of posts on a score check gives an idea of the spread of points, which is very useful information.

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      40? 😯

      It's about 26. But I agree about the rest 😉

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        He meant 40 as in only the good scored are posted here giving you wrong idea of average

      2. Think
        • 11 Years
