The Gameweek rolls on with the final pair of Premier League encounters – both presenting fascinating scenarios, fully stocked with Fantasy talent.

The day begins as St Mary’s where Ronald Koeman’s Southampton face their first grilling as applicants for the role of a top four side. It begins with the harshest of tests against champions Manchester City, presenting a lip-smacking battle between the league’s most potent striker and its most robust rearguard.

Sergio Aguero will be the latest of the Gameweek captaincy candidates to test his mettle, against a Saints back four that has conceded just once all season on home turf. That’s just one of the key battles on show, as City desperately look to seize the opportunity to close the gap on leaders Chelsea following the Blues’ stalemate with Sunderland.

Later today, our focus switches to north London where Everton pay visit to White Hart Lane in a match that pairs two sides with top six ambitions. A host of mid-price prospects are on show, with Fantasy managers holding out for an appearance from Leighton Baines and further encouraging displays from the likes of Christian Eriksen, Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas.

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

    Which is better?

    ADM>Hazard
    Or
    ADM+Boyd>>Chadli+Siggy

    Hazard is tempting, but I feel having a decent 5th midfielder might help in case one of my front 7 is rotated. Thoughts?

    Thanks.

  7. rickardinho

    1. Whazza
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Sounds good.

    2. Rhinos
      11 years, 11 months ago

  8. Wooders
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    A) -4 hit formation: 3-4-3
    Hazard, Cesc, Sanchez, Downing, (Chadli)
    Rooney, Bony, Austin

    B) -8 hit formation: 3-4-3
    Hazard, Cesc, Sanchez, Downing (Jedinak)
    Aguero, Bony, Austin

    C) no hit formation: 3-5-2
    Hazard, Cesc, Sanchez, Downing, Chadli
    Bony, Austin (Costa*)
    * FT out Costa next week

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      11 years, 11 months ago

  9. PKB
    11 years, 11 months ago

  10. Boss Hogg
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Is Kane a nailed on starter when Ade comes back?

  11. Kerrazy
    11 years, 11 months ago

    ADM>Yaya no brainer?

    1. Najoman86
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard?

  12. Najoman86
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Costa/Di Maria > Rooney/Hazard - worth the -4pt hit?

    Current side for upcoming GW:
    Fabianski
    Clyn Baines N.Taylor
    Fabregas Downing Di Maria Sigurdsson
    Aguero Costa Berahino
    (McCarthy Boyd Bertrand Yun)

  13. ANON.
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Opinions really appreciated. 2 frees and 2.1 in the bank

    Krul/Elliot
    Baines, NTaylor, Duff
    Sanchez, Fab, Sig, Downing
    Aguero, Costa, Austin

    Chambers, Bertrand, Cattermole

    A. Costa, Downing to Bony, Hazard
    B. Costa to Rooney and save 1 ft

    Thanks

      Bert > Azp

      1. ANON.
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Could do

    2. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I think Im going to bench Costa otherwise I'll just be rearranging to try and buy him back.

      1. ANON.
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Was thinking maybe the same. But Hazard might do instead until Jan

        1. CelticBhoy1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 11 months ago

          He might although most people dont use their WC at the start of Jan. Then Chelsea have decent fixtures too you dont want to miss out on captain points either.

      2. ANON.
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Only problem is Haz is a good replacement for Fab when he gets 5th yellow

        1. CelticBhoy1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Yea exactly id wait for that

          1. ANON.
            11 years, 11 months ago

            U just gonna swap out krul then?

            1. CelticBhoy1
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              11 years, 11 months ago

              Not sure. You going Foster?

              1. ANON.
                11 years, 11 months ago

                Nothing for now, Elliot is fine for this week. Will re evaluate later

  14. CelticBhoy1

    Please rate my team for this GW. All feedback appreciated.

    Krul Elliot
    Baines Azp Chambers Duff Dummett
    Downing Sanchez Fab Siggy Boyd
    Costa Aguero Austin

    2FT 0.0 ITB

    1. ANON.
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Similar to mine above. What would you do out of my options?

  15. chrisjdgrady
    11 years, 11 months ago

    I wish I didn't have Chadli cause Kane is tempting but doubling on Tot seems like an awful idea

  16. boogle
    11 years, 11 months ago

    What's better, ADM + IVAN -4 >

    A) Coleman + Hazard (Have Baines, Fab, Costa)

    B) Azpi + Sanchez

  17. Stupendous
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Good to go lads....

    Adrian
    Baines. Duff. Bartley
    Siggy. Fabregas. Hazard. Sanchez
    Austin. Rooney (c). Aguero

    McCarthy. Wisdom. King. Yun.

  18. Lucy.
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Bony and Hazard or Rooney and Eriksen?

    1. Christina.
      11 years, 11 months ago

      ..hey...Copying me?

      😉

      1. Christina.
        11 years, 11 months ago

        A) Costa/Downing->Bony/Hazard
        B)Costa/Berty->Rooney/Chelsea def up to 7.4m
        C)Costa/Downing->Rooney/Eriksen

        All for free.

        ?

        1. Christina.
          11 years, 11 months ago

          ...I think It's A or B for me.

          1. Lucy.
            11 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah I reckon A possibly

            1. Christina.
              11 years, 11 months ago

              Same here.

              Would mean not getting Costa back. Porb not even on Jan WC.

              Bony/Swans play Qpr(twice)/Villa/Hull...3 of top 5 worse defences when it comes to goal attempts inside box over next 7 games.

        2. ANON.
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Initial thought was A, I might do the same. Not sure about getting rid of Costa though

    2. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Tough if you're already heavy on Chelsea Id say B

      1. Lucy.
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Just Fab

        1. Christina.
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Double up with Haz?

  19. red beard
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Predicting a fal(c)ao start midweek.

  20. Wishdom Teeth
    11 years, 11 months ago

    when will african player leave for ACN ?

  21. Total Foot 5
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Best going forward:

    1. cesc + .5
    2. haz
    3. oscar + 1.7

  22. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Do we think Chadli will get back into the starting 11 on Wednesday?

    If not, would you prefer Barkley or Mirallas given both would be playing 4 games in 11 days?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      *4 games in 11 days if you include next weekend's fixture too.

  23. Feed tha Sheep
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Get Bony, Austin or Kane?

  24. Kip
    11 years, 11 months ago

    0.1 short to do Clyne => Baines on my FT

    worth doing Bego=> Guzan for a hit as an enabler?

  25. KevIRL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Any estimate of the FFS Cup qualification score? Am guessing 44 won't be enough?

  26. Master Splinter
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Need some big help. Holding onto a lead in my league by just a fraction. 1FT but I'm thinking of taking a huge hit. Are they ever worth it?

    Krul-Hamer
    Wisdom-Baines-Bertrand-Clyne-Chambers
    ADM-Fabregas-Chadli-Downing-Sanchez
    Costa-Austin- Bony

    Krul > Foster?
    Costa & ADM > Aguero &Hazard?
    Clyne & Baines > Azpi/Naylor/Clichy?
    Chadli > Jedinak/Siggy?

  27. Punty
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Lol that ref, red card for schmeichel and penalty the only logical choice, but lee freaking mason: "nothing"
