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. Syd.

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Aguero then Costa

    2. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      yup

  6. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    Conehead dead

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

      lol

  7. Van Dal
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Black hawk down...

  8. Journeyguy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Suprised so many ppul opted not to captain aguero after a CL hatrick against Bayern..

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Hindsight's always 20/20.

    2. Wings of Steel
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Probability of two hat tricks in a row?

      1. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        That's almost as bad of a comment as his.

        1. Wings of Steel
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Is it ? have a think for a second

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Took you the full 90mins to release this statement 😆

  9. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    So 2 assists for Aguero.
    As an owner but not captainer and no Southampton players I presume thats decent?

    1. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Stats suggest 25% of top 10k don't own at all, while only 10% captained. So it seems good to me.

  10. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Was just thinking of bringing in Clichy. Is this a sign?

    1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      i too had him in mind but.....rotation risk!!

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

    In all fairness, Southampton do have a man sent off......

  12. Phaze 1
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Boyata an option for the next few weeks if Komps is out for a while?

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Demi and Mangala after suspension

    2. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      😆

  13. Black Knights
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    So if only 10% of top 10k have captained, and 25% don't own, we're rising than falling if we haven't captained but do own.

    1. Owd Big 'Ed
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks.

      1. Black Knights
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        These are stats I've seen on here. If they're true we're fine.

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

      depends where that 10% are

  14. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Will not captaining Aguero but owning him hurt me or help me this week?

    Mixed emotions...

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Most captained Costa. Will benefit you

    2. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Well it's certainly better than not owning him altogether.

  15. Journeyguy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Tadic goal to finish this off

  16. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    2 ex arsenal players (1 on trial) scoring for city today

  17. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Kompany injured whilst running down the field to celebrate. numpty

    1. Van Dal
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Really??

  18. tm245
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Joe Hart has some dirt on his mouth.

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      That's supposed to be a mustache. I think.

  19. Reed_Rothchild
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Tadic is an entertaining player. Too bad that doesn't translate into fantasy points.

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      So many balls in, so little players heads found.

  20. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Classic Tadic ball in that. What a useless player.

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

    Aguero's first 2 assists of the season.

  22. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Soton too impatient after the red

    Inexperience showing

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Agree. They all just started running up to attack.

  23. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    But can they get past a Sunderland bus?

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Bogey team for city

  24. Green Arrow
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Hart's moustache is so funny 😀

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Dreadful

  25. Last Resort...
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Wild carded last gw, had clichy in the team until the last 10 minutes. Aaaaah, the FPL gods are evil. Also ADM C. : \

  26. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    'We've only got nine men'

  27. Saniul
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    With no Soton players, I'm pretty happy as an Agu owner.

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

    He's no Kolarov

  29. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    So apparently Schneiderlin is Southampton FC.

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      So much this.
      They just look a much poorer side without him.

  30. Guy Demel's SH
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Saints continue their poor record against 'top' teams.

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

      Got another Arsenal on our hands
