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.

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      an hour before kick off. the usual.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

    6. Donnie Brasco´s
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I think Baines will not play, but he will in Midweek

  2. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Just woke up from the mother of all hangovers 😕

    I see Aguero is booked 😕 not a great week for (c)s

    ADM = 1
    Costa = 1
    Sanchez = 3
    Hazard = 3
    Aguero = 0 (so far)

    Seems Rooney/ RVP/ Austin captainers will sail through the ranks

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      wait till you see the booking
      your hangover will return 😉

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        It's unbelievably bad. 🙁 Not a great way to start my Sunday.

    2. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      only half time.

    3. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Why do people post this? Aguero still has another half to play...be patient...

    4. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Forget that Bow who we gonna (c) midweek??

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        True 😕

        I'm strongly considering Sigurdsson against that QPR defence

        Or Aguero, definitely one of the two

        1. HVT
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Agueto on the grounds that Sundy will be mentally and physically knackered after parking the bus yesterday?

          1. Bøwstring The Carp
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            That's my thinking but at the same time thy'll have to play the same against City 😕

            And where Chelsea have 3/4 dangerous players in Hazard, Oscar, Willian and Costa to mark

            City really only have one in Aguero which might dent his returns 🙁

  3. HVT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    All us non Soton Def owners really need a city goal.

    1. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yep.

    2. Back to Back Ballacks
      • 15 Years

      minus rep

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Hey B2b how's it all going?

        1. Back to Back Ballacks
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Good boy, yourself, could do with both todays games finishing right now 🙂

          1. HVT
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Not bad, Costa/Adm > Rooney/Haz -4 done ,
            42 with Aguero left, not too bad.
            I went from saving to a -4 on a matter of hours!
            Austin of all people saved my gameweek haha!

            1. Back to Back Ballacks
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

              Ya, spotted that 🙁

              Rooney? Was limping badly, 50/50 for Tues I reckon

              1. HVT
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 4 months ago

                He's a beast, he will play on crutches!!

                1. Back to Back Ballacks
                  • 15 Years
                  11 years, 4 months ago

                  🙂 Hopefully!

    3. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      They will. Kun.

    4. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I'll be cheering for a City goal, at least until 3pm, when if Baines doesn't start I'll be cheering a Soton CS.

      lol

    5. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Who are all these fools without Southampton defence?

  4. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    A. Baines plays Clyne keeps a CS on my bench
    B. Baines doesn't play, Clyne concedes immediately

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      You know it's gonna happen 😉

    2. The King
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      This.

    3. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Ditto

    4. MORIS FC
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      this

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Already got Yun coming in for Blackett 🙂

    5. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      baines walks in with howard.. so on the bench at least

  5. Back to Back Ballacks
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Banker pen coming for City in 2nd half, this ref is the biggest bottle merchant in the Prem. Once he sees that at HT he will come out and give one. Absolute cert.

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      can see city winning 1-0. toure with the goal.

      1. RÏɠBY
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        this would be a good result all round

    2. Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Whats' the name of that f ucker??

      1. Back to Back Ballacks
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Mike Jones I think

      2. Jax
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        mike jones

    3. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      unfortunately you're probably right

    4. Son is Rising
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Thought they can't watch replays at HT?

      1. Back to Back Ballacks
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        They see it allright

    5. Champy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Are refs allowed to watch that at half time? I can see an argument that says they shouldn't.

  6. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    clyne the only hampton player i have left...... 3rd on the bench tho

    come on city

  7. djenzio
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    could easily end 0-0

    ref is aweful. can't believe he didn't give a peno and booked Kun, disgrace.

  8. gruffyboy
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard captain fantastic for GW14?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I dont like capping Hazard. Too inconsistent for me.

      1. gruffyboy
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed but without Costa, he could take on the big balls mantle

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Okish!

  9. testmat-20210805.8
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    It's been a while since I last joined the discussions here.

    I have a question. Should ADM owners drop him? Or just stick with him? It's almost a guarantee that he'll miss the midweek game against Stoke.

    How are your gameweeks so far? I opted for Hazard as my C and that did not go so well.

    1. gruffyboy
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I got rid last night, WC is on the horizon though

      1. testmat-20210805.8
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I am thinking of selling too! The question is who replaces him...

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      LVG said he's out. I'm selling.

    3. Goodfella
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I got rid of him last night for Sanchez, easy decision for me, depends on what other mids you have.

      1. testmat-20210805.8
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Sanchez is an attractive option yes! I am thinking Sanchez or heck, Yaya Toure (bold choice I know).

        My mids at the moment: Hazard-Oscar-Downing-Boyd-ADM (who will be replaced)

    4. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I am taking him out for either Downing or one of Jedinak/Bolasie. Already lost 0.2m om him 😐

  10. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Only thing missing now is Baines to start then come off after 10 mins with Bertrand firmly rooted to my bench with a CS and a bap or two..

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Throw in a yellow card before going off...

      ...for "diving" when he actually has his nuts kicked in.

  11. Raheem's perm
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Are people selling Costa then? Selling him for Bony gives me funds to upgrade elsewhere but just can't bring myself to do it. Surely he's a season keeper, capable of massive points hauls now and again?

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      too much to have on the bench for people it seems.

      1. Raheem's perm
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Too much money would be lost if I sold him just to not have him on the bench for one GW.
