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.

    Annoyingly chose the wrong captain

    Austin , Aguero , Hazard were my serious consideration and went with Edin
    Guess am not the only one

    Hazard is a never captain type player I think

      Eden*....Edin is Dzeko

  2. Lallana_

    How did Yaya Toure play this game? I missed it.

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

      well he scored

    2. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Looking good.

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

      Played quite well, but didnt create chances, and only worked the keeper once from a long shot, and scored with a deflected shot.

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

    millions of
    ADM-> Yaya
    and Costa -> Rooney now for midweek.

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

      Where is Yaya playing exactly?? Hole?

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

        Man. City

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

        moved up when Jovetic got subbed , ended the game as a CB

      3. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        No. Deeper but gets into shooting positions.

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

    I f***ing love Jeremy Menez.

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

      He scored again?

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

        Yep, helps when Torres is benched.

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

          Tough times for Serie A.

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

            Yeah, the incompetent and/or corrupt old men in charge have been killing it for a long time.

  5. RyanC
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    So...

    Clyne > Baines and Costa > Rooney/Bony makes sense now, right?

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

      Too much sense.

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

    Aguero should've got 18 points from that game. 😥

    2 goals
    2 assists
    3 BAPS

    1. The Chosen One...
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      19 as he shouldn't have got a YC

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He wouldn't have got the final assist or that final chance if City had been 2-0 up already.

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

      3 goals*

      pen, 3 yards out, 1v1 😆

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

      Put it this way, he should've got a feck load of points. And I'm pissed off he didn't as I captained him.

    Can anyone tell me why PVS vs Feyennoord is void on my betting slip?

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Postponed

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

      Game got cancelled, because PSV's Europa League game got suspended (due to rain) and had to be finished on Friday. The KNVB (Dutch FA) has a rule that teams can appeal if they have to play two games in 48 hours, which was the case. They haven't found a new day yet.

      Who'd you bet on? 😉

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        PSV even, thankyou very much for the reply, must have been a last minute decision as i could bet on it this morning

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

          On Friday the KNVB announced it had been moved to Tuesday. But that date has been cancelled again (due to lack of transport for away fans, who are not allowed to travel there by themselves and have to take special trains). It's actually ridiculous..

  8. Sarnab
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I never really rated this player..

    2 weeks in my team- points scored 0

    1. Djerbil
      • 14 Years

      Chachachaders

  9. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

    6. The Chosen One...
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Sanchez

    7. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Rooney perhaps

    8. Djerbil
      • 14 Years

    9. RoysCallerAnne

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

      Aguero is the only player who can get silly scores everyweek

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

      Sanchez....WHY DON'T I OWN SANCHEZ

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

  11. df34
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

  13. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Strange old game that...Chelsea had better keep looking over their shoulder.

    Toby continues to look dangerous, I'm sure he's going to have his moment or two in the sun soon...

  14. il Brutto
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Costa, ADM and Aarons(I also have Boyd at midfield) to Bony, Yaya and Siggy for -8. Yes or No?

    1. df34
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Not for me mate. Bit too much Swansea and don't think Yaya will do a repeat of last year

      1. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Costa and ADM to Rooney and Siggy for -4 then? And after midweek games Aarons to Eriksen?

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

    Clyne + Costa > Azpilcueta + Rooney (-4)

    Worth doing or just do the latter transfer for free?

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

    What will it take for Poch to drop Soldado?

    Blimey.

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

      A better striker?

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

        Well that can't be the reason.

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

      options

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

        He's playing Eriksen wide to play two strikers.

    3. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      when you're brother in law twice removed..it can take a lot...
      tough day so far for you mupp-poacher's goal ,and double saint defence....
      kun got assist suppose

  17. Koflok
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Worth doing Clyne -> Azpi (-4)?

    Got the exact cash, but both are unlikely to rise/drop anyway..

  18. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    So How many baps for kun??

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

      zoro

    2. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Seems like 1.

  19. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    How did Nasri look today ?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      French

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Henry , zidane type Frenchman

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

      like a Ladyboy as usual

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

      sexy.

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

    who should be my Forster replacement:

    Courtois or Fabianski + cash ??

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

      Both have plenty of outfield options
      Naylor, Williams, Siggy, Bony
      Azpi, Fab, Haz, Costa

      I'd probably go Courtois + Naylor
      But nothing wrong with Fabianski + Azpi

  21. CHANCING PUNT
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    di Maria/Costa to Hazard/Rooney?

  22. Gubbins94.
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Very stupid from Mangala, the one thing you do not do when Shane Long is through on goal is impede him.

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

    Is it weird to plan your next two transfers?

    Moore > Hutton
    Albrighton > Davis

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

      Not exiting.

  24. Sarnab
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    How much will Costa drop till the next gw?? 0.2 ?

  25. Sol
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    38 points still Baines to go bad week

  26. xtina
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Why's everyone selling Costa? Season keeper IMO..surely he'll have lots of games where he'll score a handful!

  27. Punty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Noone in the top10 in any of my MLs have Baines.. come on please give a season defining performance!

  28. chrisjdgrady
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Please Baines have the game of your life today a second bad week in a row so far

  29. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Baines Starts!!! Yes!!!!!

  30. Hasselbaink Forever
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Current Defence -

    Adrian - Gilks
    Baines - Clyne* - Hutton - Yun - Moore*

    Will swap Clyne out for midweek games, Moore follwing GW - So who best to replace for 9.5m?
    Currently looking at Chambers & Robertson. Other options - Naylor, Kelly, Trippier, Wisdom, Dummett

    Cheers

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

      Cresswell in the mix too.

      I'm a Naylor fan, had him since GW1.
      But Chambers and Cresswell look good

      1. Hasselbaink Forever
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers. Yeah I like Creswell but would be hard to upgrade Moore with only 4.1

    2. GHB
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't put Chambers in. I am looking to offload in next couple of weeks. With Debeuchy back soon he won't be nailed on

      1. Hasselbaink Forever
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Wenger doesn't like to rush his players in from long term injuries though, and I'm not sure of many better options?

        1. GHB
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah agreed but he hates over playing young players - as shown with the Ox yesterday. You could try and ride the storm with Clyne? Think I will do that with Bertrand and could have some attacking returns. He scored away to Arsenal in league cup & at Anfield so always got a goal in him.
