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.

    I went Costa --> Rooney and Di Maria --> Mata (who I'm guessing will be his natural replacement). Couldn't afford Yaya or Alexis, have Fab already. How dumb am I?

      hazard?

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

        Yeah that probably should've been the move. I want Costa right back though so I saved some cash.

    The one decision the ref got right was Mangala sending off

    1. The Machine
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Wouldn't have come to that had he done his job earlier

      1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Yup you're right....Aguero got mugged the entire game and I don't think he even won a free kick

    Having sat and watched that game my brother announces that Southampton are going to beat Arsenal twice, United twice and Everton in their next run of heavy fixtures. In fact the only team they'd lose to would be Chelsea.

    Liverpool fans 😕

    1. 4vets
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Ahem...

      1. Somalion
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Not all Liverpool fans 😉

        Just the strange ones...

        1. 4vets
          11 years, 11 months ago

          That accounts for most of us then 😉

          1. Somalion
            11 years, 11 months ago

            So you backing Southampton for an undefeated run (barring Chelsea)? 😉

        2. Mull
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Ahem...

          1. Somalion
            11 years, 11 months ago

            Well, you backing them to win so? 😛

            1. Mull
              11 years, 11 months ago

              I've been the guy on here spouting that they'll go off the boil soon enough. Good start so far.

              1. Somalion
                11 years, 11 months ago

                Well then you aren't one of the strange ones!

                They had a great old start, the bigger teams seem to get the better of them consistently.

  5. Mull
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Lloris penalty save please.

    1. AlCapwnUK

      Good week Nate, could do with that as well.

      1. The Machine
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah but good week in a bad week isn't much good.

        1. Somalion
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Depends really, I find you can gain a lot of ground in a week like this if everyone else is failing miserably.

    2. AlCapwnUK
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Solid

  7. Green Arrow

    Is there any chance the aguero yc may get overturned?

        If red cards can be appealed against, you not ycs?

          11 years, 11 months ago

          No.

          11 years, 11 months ago

          *why

            11 years, 11 months ago

            Because that's the rules.

    1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      11 years, 11 months ago

      No....and even if it was, it would change our FPL scores

      1. Fitzy.

  9. Dušan Citizen
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Which Everton's attacking mid is most nailed on?

    Thinking about Mirallas and Barkley.

      11 years, 11 months ago

      Neither even close to being nailed.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Oh 🙁 Why Martinez rotating them so much? Doesn't he know there is FPL on this world?

    1. 4vets
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I have Barkley. Martinez seems to love him.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah..they want to get some big money for him, I think he should play. But he is way too selfish.

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

          Selfish is good for FPL though

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

      None of them really. Still bringing both of them up to speed.

    3 goals and 2 assists in 209 minutes this season......

    Would you rather:

    A) Chadli to come on - potential 1 pointer
    B) Wisdom's points and run off the bench

  16. Andy1
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Best replacement for ADM?

    I have 10.4m so can get anyone.

    My options are
    A. Hazard
    B. Yaya
    C. Eriksen, so I can upgrade pelle to Rooney
    D. Downing or chadli, so I can upgrade pelle to costa

    1. Whazza

      Why?

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Back starting for Liverpool and gets very forward

        Good fixtures too ahead

        1. Lawrø
          11 years, 11 months ago

          He's far from nailed.

    2. Djerbil
      11 years, 11 months ago

      err the Liverpool guy??

    3. The Machine
      11 years, 11 months ago

    4. Mull

      How was he owned by enough people to drop 0.4m?

    5. The Chosen One...
      11 years, 11 months ago

      And plays for Liverpool...

    6. Punty
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Queue Moreno starting next game if you do

    7. Reedy
      11 years, 11 months ago

      They have one of the worst defences in the league though. Would need regular attacking returns to compensate.

    8. FISSH
      11 years, 11 months ago

      No way!

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

    Anyone putting in Yaya? if so who for?

    1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      11 years, 11 months ago

      ADM I'd assume

    2. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  20. il Brutto
    11 years, 11 months ago

    a) Costa and ADM -> Rooney and Siggy for -4
    or
    b) Costa, ADM and Aarons -> Bony, Yaya and Siggy -8

    1. krzys
      11 years, 11 months ago

    4. GHB

  23. FISSH
    11 years, 11 months ago

    @Shifty didn't you get rid of Baines? 😆

    1. Shifty
      11 years, 11 months ago

      to facilitate Pelle > Rooney(c)

      let's see how smug you are at the end of the 90.

    2. Shifty
      11 years, 11 months ago

      have to admit though, i'm hiding behind a couch typing this...

  24. krzys
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Pelle --> Aguero
    Di Maria --> Sigurdsson
    Bertrand --> Hutton

    -4

    Is it a good idea? Thoughts appreciated.

    1. pricycle
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yep, looks decent.

    2. Surezh06
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Dont take a hit for a defender other 2 are god to go

      1. krzys
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I have to downgrade Bertrand to get Aguero and Gylfi.

  25. Surezh06

  27. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Clichy is second to Kompany in minutes played for City. At 5.3 and with good fixtures on hands, is he worth it?

    1. Mull
      11 years, 11 months ago

      No. Lord Kolarov will be back soon and they'll start rotating again.

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

      Sort of , but you will have to accept regular rotation with Kolarov

    3. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      11 years, 11 months ago

      lolarov will be back soon and will get some minutes.
      not worth it

    4. Dušan Citizen
      11 years, 11 months ago

      No, Kolarov will be back soon.

    5. The Machine
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Kolarov coming back soon who will start some of the easier games. Bad for clichy fpl wise

  28. CelticBhoy1

  29. The Machine
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Adm to yaya or sanchez is the question

    I think a sanchez rest could be coming but he'll do well in other games. More explosive too

  30. Studgie G
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Baines (c) here we go....
