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.

    A rest may do Costa the world of good...and set him up for a great hoilday period 🙂

    1. Randy_Marsh
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He had 2 weeks when he didnt bother showing up for Spain

    Pelle
    Against liverpool: One if the least effective performances from a CF this season
    agiant tottenham: again poor showing
    Against coty: another nothing performance

    Now the first two may not be the best but they were big teams and big games. Clearly the pressure gets the better off him

    1. Dušan Citizen
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Tadic looked confused and tired. Have to go next week, as I need to fix other areas now.

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

      The whole Soton will get shown up over the coming games

    3. icywrists23
      11 years, 11 months ago

      yes pelle another terrible performance this is like 3 weeks in a row now. I have him and tadic. I have 2 players I need to get rid of before him though. Or should i take a 4 point hit and get bony.

    Falcao's chances of starting vs Stoke?

    1. NapalmDeath (Northern Chaos…
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I hope he starts and scores 5.

      I think LvG will field the same team that beat Hull (Herrera starting over ADM of course).

    2. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I reckon 1 more game away from a starting?

      LVG makes a lot of noise about wanting his players to be match fit.

  4. RoyaleBlue
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Score prediction ???

    I'm going 3-1 Everton

    1. Alan The Llama
      11 years, 11 months ago

      2-1 Everton

    2. BigManBakar

  5. mouldy_uk

    Any BAPS for Aguero?

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

      1, I'm hearing

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

        oops, none

    2. The Machine
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Nope

  6. Eoin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Still musing, but fairly certain I'm gonna take a four point hit this GW to get rid of Di Maria and Costa; team's looking too depleted. Regarding who to get in, which of these, if any, looks best?

    A. Yaya and Rooney
    B. Herrera and Aguero
    C. 8.3 and Aguero

    1. JogaSemmedo
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I'm looking at ADM & Pelle out with Aguero & Herrera in (7.3 mid & have siggy&downing).

      Herrera should start most games now being over the rib injury, good performance yesterday.

    2. A La Pelle
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Personally wouldn't sell Costa if money's tied up, he's only out 1 game. ADM>Haz seems the no-brainer.

      Haz&Rooney could be option if you want Costa out though

  7. Captain Shirokov
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Chadli on the bench, shit. Marney didn't score by any chance, no?

    1. Heydudes13
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Got a booking this week mate : - )

      1. Captain Shirokov
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Nice one.

  8. Punty
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Kane looks like a dentist from 1934

    1. Mull
      11 years, 11 months ago

      That's very specific

  9. Saniul
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Rooney (c) or Aguero (c)?

  10. icywrists23
    11 years, 11 months ago

    0.1 in the bank 2 FT

    going to transfer out ADM and Costa

    a) Hazard Bony
    b) Hazard Rooney
    c) Aguero Sigurdsson

    1. HonestBlatter
      11 years, 11 months ago

      b)

      1. icywrists23
        11 years, 11 months ago

        thats what I was thinking.

  11. Alan The Llama
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Harry Kane looks like Joe Hart's not very clever little brother

    1. mouldy_uk
      11 years, 11 months ago

      🙂

  12. davies
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Chadli to surely get his spot back, yes?

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

      Hope so

    2. AlCapwnUK
      11 years, 11 months ago

      i was mocked for worrying earlier
      so i think the consensus is he is keeping his spot.

  13. Mull
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Bonus updated. Clichy 3, Yaya 2, Hart 1 and Aguero 0

    1. mouldy_uk
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Ref robbed him of baps and more!

      1. Sheep Flavour
        11 years, 11 months ago

        He robbed himslef of 'easy' goals second half.

  14. Gnu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    And yet another of the twatpack referees - Oliver.
    Jeez, they get worse.

    1. Mull
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He was the one who gave that penalty against ShawX for holding and then didn't follow through with it in other games.

  15. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Any preference for the following gents?

    A) Costa - ADM - Pelle > Aguero - Rooney - Jedinak (-4)
    B) Costa - Pelle > Aguero - Austin

    Already have Haz, Sanchez, Siggy and Welbeck for my other main attackers.

  16. Alan The Llama
    11 years, 11 months ago

    C'mon the Barkley and Baines

    1. 4vets
      11 years, 11 months ago

      +42

  17. Saniul
    11 years, 11 months ago

    What result do you all need?
    I'll be fine with a TOT 1-0, no Chadli involvement.

  18. davies
    11 years, 11 months ago

    No BAPS for Kun.

  19. That Fantasy Guy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Hi all 2 questions please
    1. Who to change...
    A. Di maria -> Mata
    B. Di Maria -> Sterling
    C. Di Maria -> Toure
    D. Di Maria & sahko -> downing & rooney -4
    E. Di Maria & Kane -> jedinak & rooney -4

    2. Will Aguero start midweek?
    Thanks in advance

    .

    1. AlCapwnUK
      11 years, 11 months ago

      City are a different much worse side without Aguero.
      With Silva probably not starting, I think Aguero will definitely get a chance to start and win the game, before being subbed off

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

        thanks just seeing captain wise

    2. Royal5
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Any more options? 😛

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

        nope. i already have hazard sanchez siggy and aguero haha. What you suggest?

        1. Royal5
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Was only joking. I'm getting rid of adm as well. Not sure who to get. Got Haz and no Costa, so looking at Fab.

  20. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    11 years, 11 months ago

    hope chadli comes on and scores/assists

    1. 4vets
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I don't!

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        11 years, 11 months ago

        well i do.... so bleeeehhhh 😛

        1. 4vets
          11 years, 11 months ago

          I'm playing Trev is the Wigan to me H2H... he has him!

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

            Where's Trev hiding these days?

          2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
            11 years, 11 months ago

            ahhh ulterior motive 😉

  21. Lallana_
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Sorry Baines owners but I need him to blank so he goes down 0.1M in price

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He won't go down in price even if he does blank

  22. Punty
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Lloris and to some extent Vertongen+Eriksen are the only players on that team that doesn't look out of their depth in the upper half of the PL-table.. or am I wrong?

  23. Captain Shirokov
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Roberto and Poch look like great buds.

  24. only2
    11 years, 11 months ago

    No Oscar love here?

  25. The Iron Tulip
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Would Rooney (c) over Aguero be crazy midweek?

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      11 years, 11 months ago

      not crazy. but will rooney be fit?

      Sunderland did very well at home against city in the last few games.
      but Aguero seems to be fixture proof 🙂

  26. Sheep Flavour
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Before the pages start flying chaps.....

    My First Team is currently:

    Guzan

    Chambers...Dummett....Azp

    Fab...Sanchez...Chad....Sig

    Costa...Aurego...Pelle

    If I sell Pelle I got £8 in the bank...do I do a minus 4 hit to get Bony in or is he not a must a go for another £8 mill striker or under?

  27. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    11 years, 11 months ago

    7 from aguero.... could have been worse

  28. Randy_Marsh
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Mirallas looks cross-eyed on that graphic

  29. davies
    11 years, 11 months ago

    I'm going to have no flags once Chadli's, Baines' and Rooney's are removed. Hopefully all tonight.

    1. AlCapwnUK
      11 years, 11 months ago

      that'll be nice
      i've got 5 at the moment
      hopefully dropping to 3

  30. CableEnable
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Tool, so caught up with the armband this week I left Jedinak on the bench, would've had a tasty 62 grrrrrr

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Who did you "accidentally" play?

      1. Punty
        11 years, 11 months ago

        ADM probably:p

      2. CableEnable
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Wanyama! no accidents in this business,
