Following on from Arsenalโ€™s narrow win over the Baggies, Fantasy managers shift their sights to the three oโ€™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 โ€œrestedโ€ 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 โ€œyellow flagโ€ 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 visitorโ€™s back four.

There are few surprises on the teamsheets at Turf Moor, as Joe Cole replaces Charles Nโ€™Zogbia for visitors Villa. Whilst down at Loftus Road both Eduardo Vargas and Niko Kranjcar get starts for Harry Redknappโ€™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, 11 months ago

  9. RÏษ BY

    captaincy fail yet again ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

  10. Ludo
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Have captained either Costa or Aguero for the last 8 GWs in a row.

    4 of the last 5 have been blanks...

  11. Ady87
    11 years, 11 months ago

    I imagine many have ADM/Costa so, what are you doing and what should I do?

    ADM & Costa > X & Rooney

    X =

    1) Hazard + £0.6m ITB
    2) Mata + £2.3m ITB
    3) Herrera + £3.5m ITB
    4) Fabregas + £1.0m ITB

    Team would be:

    Adrian

    Azpi Naylor Chambers

    Sanchez X Siggy Jedinak

    Aguero Rooney Bony

    Subs: Krul Bertrand Wisdom Cork

    1. RÏษ BY
      11 years, 11 months ago

      bit early to be losing costa.. and check out yaya tomorrow for adm possible

    2. Stannage

    1. Lloyd Xmas

  13. A-VB
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Time to roll back investments in (C)osta.
    Not for the suspension.
    Because, he seems to be way off form.

    Who is the next best striker though for the next 5 GWs ?

  14. rickardinho
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Should have stuck with my gut feeling and gone with Ings instead of Costa. FFS headache

  17. Efan Ekoku Pops
    11 years, 11 months ago
