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.

    Clyne -> Azpi (-4) YAY or NAY??

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Nay, get Eriksen.

    Baines fail

      has the game ended?

      1. The Light Knight
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, new 25 min matches to appeal to Murica

    2. Zod

      How old are you?

  3. Sheep Flavour
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Does Erik play in a sort of up front wing forward role or more in MF?

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

      Left midfield.

      1. Sheep Flavour
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks 🙂

    2. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      More free role in behind

  4. AH 🙂
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    ADM + Downing --> Mirallis + Eriksen ?

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

      Mirallas is a little last week....

  5. Overlordleo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 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)
    Jagielka-Wisdom-Cissokho-Janmaat (Clyne)
    Downing-Oscar-Fabregas-Di Maria (Kíng)
    Aguero-Austin (Costa)

  6. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Chadli owners:

    1.kep
    2.chad > sigur
    3.chad > other?

    *limit 7.7 so .1 short of eriksen

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

      Eriksen seems like he's being played in the position he wants.

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

      Kep

    3. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Keep. If you were ever to transfer him out, it was before last GW. Now he's already returning.

  7. Il Gladiatore
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Eriksen to Chadli last week has been painful. Chambers first sub as well, so a Chadli 1 pointer is inevitable

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Does chadli impact where eriksen plays?

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Thought you were resigning?

      1. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Get Eriksen while he's hot.

  9. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Should I wildcard to do Lloris, Myhill, Betrand, Chester Costa an Pelle > Adrian Elliot Azpi Rooney and bony?

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      *and Hutton (or 4.4?)

  10. tm245
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Aaron Lennon took out Kane there, or other way around?

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

    Eriksen, Mirallas or Barkley instead of Tadic?

    Not kneejerking, need to take out Tadic. 😛

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

      Damn..0.1 need to get Eriksen 🙁

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

        Chadli is still a better pick.

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

          I forgot him 😀 Thanks, may get him

    2. Il Gladiatore
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Mirallas

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

    Guidetti goal

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

      Absolutely shocking decision

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

        What happened?

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

          He scored from a penalty

          It was worse than the Aguero decision

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

            Ah..

    2. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      much too good for scottish premier

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

        And the Scottish 1st division

      2. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Don't know if City will sell him

      3. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        You know where you can stuff your chickens pal!

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

        At least he plays. City wasting his talent.

        1. The Light Knight
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          It's weird, he tore it up in Holland then disappeared

      5. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 12 Years

        Like Larsson

  13. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I'm going to be in the top 10k stats from now on. I might captain heaton and everyone will be saying 'who's that idiot who captained heaton' 🙂

    1. Wilshere Knowledge

    Siggy or Mirallas?

    1. Ser Football 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Siggy by far

      1. Sheep Flavour
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        By far?

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

          and away.

    2. JWF
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Siggy all day long and then some.

  15. Gnu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    4 vets & anyone else for that matter.
    What do you think of
    Eriksen to next goalscorer for -12?

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

      I've done it!

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

        😆

      2. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        😆

    2. JWF
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I'd probably wait for the goalscorer after the next goalscorer. They'll definitely be worth a -12.

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

        good thinking!

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

      Knee jerk imo

  16. Sheep Flavour
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Annoying Spurs have Chelsea next as after that they have four decent fixtures coming up! Looking at the Erik train.

  17. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Ugh, I put Kane on the bench and played Hutton instead.

    1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Was gonna do the same next week. Would you guys play Kane vs Chelsea?

      1. Sheep Flavour
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Kane or Hutton next GW?

        Kane....only because Crystal Palace will score.

        1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Yup but is them scoring more likely than Kane breaking open the Chelsea defense?

      2. Mata-Is-The-Juan
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Already sold him for Rooney
        😆

        Playing him this GW though.

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

        Yes. You played a Villa defender over a first choice Spurs striker? I know Spurs are shite but not as bad as Villa's defence.

        1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Well, it was Kane vs a solid Everton defense and Villa vs Burnley (who aren't the most high-flying)

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

      why????

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        See above 🙂

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

          Fair enough, assuming you brought Kane in before this GW. Just look beyond the price tag imo, he's still the striker for a decent team. Should start him every week if you have him and a cheap 5th mid - else rotate between 5th mid and him, not with a def 🙂

          1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Yup definitely. Made a bad call this week. Not sure on whether to make it again next week though haha!

  18. Arsenal USA FC
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    What to do with DiMaria?

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

      I'm ditching. No other worries, so can have fun with his replacement.

    2. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Please re-ask this question as "How do you solve a problem like (Di)Maria?"

  19. FPL Notebook (John)

    Eriksen rewarding those who stood by him 🙂

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

      and those that got him in this week 🙂

    2. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Rewarding those more who got him in 10 days ago...

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

      I have to say that those who stick by Eriksen have all my respect. It takes a seasoned FPL player to remain calm when he's blanking left and right.

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

        Last week he got me a top 6k gameweek score. This week I was lost with 29 points from 9, now he (and Kane) is saving it.

    4. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Just wait a few more weeks.

  20. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Kane looking MUCH better this week.

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Kane looking good

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

      Might lose Bony next weekend for him

  22. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    kane awesome

  23. AlCapwnUK

    Re: set pieces and baines

    Mirallas nicking corners is annoying, is he also taking direct FK?
    I assume baines is keeping pens

    1. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Would of thought so. But his last few have been shocking.

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

    Kane looks like a fricking steal.

  25. The Ginga Ninja
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I have owned Eriksen for 9/13 GWs
    Pity I missed all his points bar one goal

    Don't get him in he's the ultimate troll

  26. The Light Knight
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Kane post

  27. FantasTic
    • 11 Years

    Costa,Adm to Aguero,Mirallas
    Sounds good?

  28. tm245

    Harry Kane needs to take a screen shot of page 39.

      😀

  29. d1sable
    • Has Moderation Rights
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Eriksen trolling me. Had him all season. Got rid after back to back half time withdrawal's then he gets back to back goals etc. Real unlucky

    1. backstreets
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Same here. Got Hazard in last week for him.

      1. Sheep Flavour
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        With Costa out Hazard could run roit md week points wise.

    2. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Christ rotten luck.

    3. Leaf

      Harsh , same thing ...only kept because of more pressing issues in my team

    4. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      very similar for me.

    5. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      3 of bottom 7 plus over-placed Swans coming up too, just to lure you in before 5 more blanks

    6. Shifty

      damn...

  30. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
