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.

      when Dortmund lost the first game and people declared the Bundesliga title race over, i bet they didn't realise how accurate a call that was

    When looking at Harry Kane, does anyone else picture him as WW2 Spitfire pilot? Or maybe someone from Chariots of Fire?

    Just me, I'd say..

    1. 4vets

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

      I reckon I'll fail to qualify 😀

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

    I love the budget striker merry-go-round.

  10. Alan The Llama

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

    1. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      rooney miralles?

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

    Ref giving Roberto the silent treatment.

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

      Michael!

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

    Mirallas is a bully

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

    Mirallas booked. 🙂 always makes me feel better.

  16. 4vets
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Thank god I sold Mirallas!

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

      He scored

  17. Randy_Marsh
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Soldado is so bad

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

      Disagree, his movement and hold up play is really good. He just needs to start hitting the target. I do agree, however, that time is pretty much running out for him though, which is a shame.

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

        He's failed to do what a striker is paid to do. End of story!

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

          And then he scored. Lol

    2. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Stop jumping on the bandwagon.

      He's had a pretty good half, his hold up play and runs off the ball have been good.

  18. Tinmen
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    For people considering Costa to Rooney

    Would you's swap to Falcao instead if he started tomorrow as well?

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

      tomorrow?

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

        Sorry, midweek

  19. Punty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    If Kane keeps this up I might end up like this..!

    Krul Schmeichel
    Baines Ivanovic Wisdom Dummett Duff
    Yaya Hazard Sánchez Sigurdsson Downing
    Agüero Kane Austin

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

    Ok, now Mirallas > Eriksen =4

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

      Yes, people. Mirallas > Eriksen = 4.

  21. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Just tried to do ADM > Bony but it wouldn't let me.

    FPL playing up for anyone else?

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

      You have to get a mid for a mid. Try Rooney instead.

        See my reply a couple pages back?

        Remember when you were 8th in the world. I'd just joined FFS, thought you were a genius....

        1. Captain Shirokov
          • 14 Years

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

    I always do so poor in the FPL cup...its so annoying...I finish in decent overall score, but rubbish in the cup. Made it past round 2 once I think. Anyone got far in it? GW 18 start inst it?

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

      I got to round 4/5 once. I'd say people on here have about a 70% chance of winning a random game so you only need to play 2 rounds before you're a favourite to go out.

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

      What is the minimum score required to qualify?

  23. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Is Distin nailed on now with all the injuries in the Everton defense?

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

      Yes, but with the lack of CS this season and lack of goals or assists not worth it imo.

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

        Two very nice home games in next three tho

  24. bluenredhattrickmaster97
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Oscar, Hazard, or Yaya Toure for Week 14?

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

      All of them.

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

      Haz

      1. bluenredhattrickmaster97
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Do you think Yaya would be more enticing since he will be facing a "lesser" defense or you would still go Hazard? Thanks!

  26. AlCapwnUK
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    this is going to be my lowest score of the season unless Baines gets some pens, or Chadli comes on and bags a brace

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

    Well Bayern have successfully picked apart Dortmund it seems, Wolfsburg next on their radar.

  28. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    This game needs Chadlers

  29. AlCapwnUK
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Mirallas or Jedinak?
    Looking at next GW only

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
