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.

    Lost on last page -

    Would Rooney (c) over Aguero be crazy midweek?

    1. Game of Stones
      11 years, 11 months ago

      No imo

    2. davies
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I'm doing it.

      Sunderland just kept Chelsea out, could do the same, though unlikely. I fancy Rooney for a haul vs Stoke.

      1. The Iron Tulip
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Think I'm going with it, thanks!

  3. coran2123

    Kane punt, here we go

  4. ChampionoftheWorld
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Hart + azpi or courtois + kompany if budget not an issue?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Injured Kompany??

      1. ChampionoftheWorld
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Thats right!

    2. The Iron Tulip
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Kompany got injured

  5. DonTheSpecialOne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Bony turned out to be a good Pelle replacement, but looks like I'll have to eat my words, another good performance by Austin, goal, assist + 2 bonus 😯

        11 years, 11 months ago

        bench is hutton @ cry /obertan/moore

  7. Touré De Force
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Just feels like the type of game Spurs win and Everton lose.

    1. Sheep Flavour
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Lets hope not.

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Spurs have been very lucky so far this season

      Probably wont change today

  8. Overlordleo
    11 years, 11 months ago

    How does ADM + Lloris > Toure + De gea for a -4 hit look? Need to get rid of ADM and already got Chelsea x 3. Rest of my team looks like this.

    Lloris-McCarthy
    Downing-Oscar-Fabregas-Di Maria-Kíng
    Costa-Aguero-Austin

    1. Overlordleo
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Got 0,5 mil in the bank so would be just enough.

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Playing King or 4 defenders?

    3. AlCapwnUK
      11 years, 11 months ago

      no siggy love?

  9. Sheep Flavour
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Besic hasnt looked great so far this season...intresting to see how he does today.

    1. Chris_White
      11 years, 11 months ago

      No McCarthy is a big loss. Hope Besic ups his game.

      1. Sheep Flavour
        11 years, 11 months ago

        True...McCarthy is so under rated imo.

        1. Chris_White
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Agreed.

    2. Studgie G
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I thought he was good in the europa, I think he'll be a good player just needs more time bit like markovic with us

  10. Reed_Rothchild
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Chadlii is such good value. Don't want to get rid.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      11 years, 11 months ago

      snap

    2. davies
      11 years, 11 months ago

      No need to.

  11. Gurra
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Di Maria, Costa, Krul > Hazard,Bony,Fabianski (+1,5m ITB) ??

    1. Touré De Force
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Think Fabianski is too expensive tbh. Panti is the keeper I want and despite what people say, the tough fixtures aren't a total negative.

  12. Footballbloodyhell
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Is berahino a good pick? WBA fixtures seems to be picking up, although they have not scored in their last three games.

    Thinking of replacing him over sakho for the upcoming weeks.

    1. Sheep Flavour
      11 years, 11 months ago

      If you want a striker from WBA then go for it...hes the only player who scores for them.

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

      He looks sharp & dfangerous and has great run of fixtures.
      Him Or Austin I guess.

    3. sad_nap
      11 years, 11 months ago

      That DUI might cause some trouble.

    4. copps
      11 years, 11 months ago

      austin

    5. Not Irish
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

  13. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    11 years, 11 months ago

    tempted by siggy captain midweek.......

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

      Home to QPR, not a bad option at all

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        11 years, 11 months ago

        they have tended to concede at least 1 goal

    2. Chris_White
      11 years, 11 months ago

      could do worse

  14. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Selling Pelle was the right move, now to see if I should have bought Kane.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Pelle > Austin looking good so far

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        11 years, 11 months ago

        this

  15. That Fantasy Guy

    B. Di Maria -> Sterling
    C. Di Maria -> Toure
    D. Di Maria & sahko -> downing & rooney -4
    E. Di Maria & Kane -> jedinak & rooney -4

    Thanks in advance

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

      D maybe depending of rest of your team

      And yes he will play

    2. What times smoko
      11 years, 11 months ago

      D and yes, they have the premier league to defend which is just as important as UCL imo

  16. FPL Daniel
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Chadli is my nemesis damn it. He only bring pts for my rival 🙁 Too bad I didn't do Chadli to Siggy transfer. I think I am starting to hate Chadli 🙁

    1. Chris_White
      11 years, 11 months ago

      😆

  17. 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?

    Thanks all 🙂

  18. random.hero
    11 years, 11 months ago

    taking costa and di maria out. who do i put in along with aguero??

    my current team:

    courtois

    coleman taylor reid yun wisdom

    hazard sanchez di maria siggy

    kane costa pelle

    1. Sheep Flavour
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Getting rid of Costa for the long term?

      1. random.hero
        11 years, 11 months ago

        short term, thinking to bring in a 6.0 for ADM so i have cash to take out pelle for costa for next weekend

        1. Sheep Flavour
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Personally dont see the point in taking Costa out for one game...save the cash of the re-buy and put it in somewhere else.

          But your team your shout 🙂

  19. Royal5
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Mirallas 😆

  20. AlCapwnUK
    11 years, 11 months ago

    ADM to Jedinak?
    Only in the short term - with ADM back in once fit.
    Other option is to get in Sterling, or Downing

  21. Mojo Rojo
    11 years, 11 months ago

    0.1 short of Krul > Fabianski 🙁

    1. AlCapwnUK
      11 years, 11 months ago

      he's been a hero on UFPL

    2. chrisjdgrady
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Meh

  22. Not Irish
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Why you look so spritely Baines 😡

    1. 32chickens
      11 years, 11 months ago

      cos he's gonna score

  23. chrisjdgrady
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Did Baines get his hat trick yet?

    1. Rolls-Royce
      11 years, 11 months ago

      No, still time, he will get it soon thou.

  24. 4vets
    11 years, 11 months ago

    That's why I've got you, Ross.

    1. Heydudes13
      11 years, 11 months ago

      For no end product?

      1. 4vets
        11 years, 11 months ago

        For the hope!

    2. Sheep Flavour
      11 years, 11 months ago

      The lad will be class....like a young Gazza.

  25. Root
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Baines and Besic on for 3 BPs.

  26. davies
    11 years, 11 months ago

    I really feel us Chadli owners have been bullshitted out of points, this week.

    I can see this being a goal fest - that Chadli should be part of.

    1. rickardinho
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He was injured, and Kane is in good form, and Poch is trying new formations. Its hardly a surprise 😉

      1. davies
        11 years, 11 months ago

        It's Lennon who's taking Chadli's place.

        1. rickardinho
          11 years, 11 months ago

          No, Lennon has taken Lamela's place. Chadli missed last game and it was Soldado who took his place

    2. Sheep Flavour
      11 years, 11 months ago

      His brace midweek will make up for it 🙂

      1. davies
        11 years, 11 months ago

        At Chelsea? Doubt it.

  27. Pringle
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Whats best?

    A. ADM, Bertrand --> Siggy, Baines
    B. ADM, Costa --> Hazard, Rooney

  28. Not Irish
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Help me, Harry Kane. You're my only hope.

  29. AlCapwnUK
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Siggy, Bony or Aguero (C) next week.
    Probably end up going for Aguero, and the Swans will run riot

    1. Chris_White
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Swansea aren't a team that runs riot...

    1. Root
      11 years, 11 months ago

      😀

    2. Root
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He might be lying. I've seen him lie about silly things like this before.

    3. The Light Knight
      11 years, 11 months ago

      RC more likely imo
