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?

    1. copps
      • 14 Years

      hazard?

      1. Hibbopotamus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 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
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

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

      1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 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
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Ahem...

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

        Not all Liverpool fans 😉

        Just the strange ones...

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

          That accounts for most of us then 😉

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

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

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

            Well, you backing them to win so? 😛

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

      Good week Nate, could do with that as well.

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

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

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 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
      • 12 Years

      Solid

  7. Green Arrow

    Is there any chance the aguero yc may get overturned?

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

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          No.

        1. Green Arrow
          • 14 Years

          *why

            • 12 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Because that's the rules.

    1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

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

  9. Dušan Citizen

    • 12 Years

    Which Everton's attacking mid is most nailed on?

    Thinking about Mirallas and Barkley.

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Neither even close to being nailed.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

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

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

      I have Barkley. Martinez seems to love him.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 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
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Selfish is good for FPL though

    2. Hibbopotamus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

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

    Would you rather:

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

    1. Mr. Grv

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

        Back starting for Liverpool and gets very forward

        Good fixtures too ahead

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

          He's far from nailed.

    2. Djerbil

    5. The Chosen One...

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

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

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

      No way!

  18. CelticBhoy1

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

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

      to facilitate Pelle > Rooney(c)

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

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

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

  24. krzys
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

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

    -4

    Is it a good idea? Thoughts appreciated.

    1. pricycle
      • 12 Years

      Yep, looks decent.

    2. Surezh06

      1. krzys
        • 12 Years

  27. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 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
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

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

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

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

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

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

    4. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      No, Kolarov will be back soon.

    5. The Machine
      • 12 Years

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

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