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.

        ty!

  2. Beavis
    11 years, 11 months ago

    ADM + Sakho > Sanchez + Kane -4 is a no brainer right?

    1. Chris_White
      11 years, 11 months ago

      right

    2. Az

      11 years, 11 months ago

      Not really.loads of options

    3. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      11 years, 11 months ago

      yup

    4. Epic Fail
      11 years, 11 months ago

      No

    5. The Light Knight
      11 years, 11 months ago

      You want to do a move that someone with no brain would do? 😕

    6. chrisjdgrady
      11 years, 11 months ago

      A little bit of a brainer but pretty good. If it was free 100% yes

    7. copps
      11 years, 11 months ago

      would prefer austin.

  3. Les Bleus
    11 years, 11 months ago

    ADM, Pelle and Clyne out for Sanchez, Austin and Azpi for a -4 seem ok?

    I would also bench Costa.

  4. FPL Daniel
    11 years, 11 months ago

    is Clichy nailed on?

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 11 months ago

      For now at least.

      1. Christina.
        11 years, 11 months ago

        good call on kun(c)

        1. Epic Fail
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Ta. Who'd you go with in the end?

          1. Christina.
            11 years, 11 months ago

            The poll.

            😥

            1. Epic Fail
              11 years, 11 months ago

              In theory it looked a great option.

    2. The Light Knight
      11 years, 11 months ago

      As nailed as the victims of True Detective

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        11 years, 11 months ago

        😆 WTF!

  5. Not Irish
    11 years, 11 months ago

    352 on the horizon

    1. Mull
      11 years, 11 months ago

      It could work this time. Harry Kane is about 10x better than sodding Pogrebnyak!

      1. Not Irish
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Best bench fodder in the game. In the form he's in he plays every week. 😯

      2. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Why would you not play Kane?

        1. chrisjdgrady
          11 years, 11 months ago

          This

        2. Not Irish
          11 years, 11 months ago

          He won't stay in this form all season. Which is the point of 352. I'll have a midfielder laying in wait.

  6. Optimus.
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Baines on 0 points,just like last gw

  7. Rolls-Royce
    11 years, 11 months ago

    my ML leader has Eriksen (c). 🙁

  8. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Do we expect Clichy to play most remaining matches this year?

  9. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Keep or sell Baines?

    He's a heavy weight in defense...

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Sell 2 weeks ago or keep.

    2. The Light Knight
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Hull, QPR, Stoke

      1. AlCapwnUK
        11 years, 11 months ago

        this clean sheet points at the very least.
        And who knows Mirallas might get injured again

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          11 years, 11 months ago

          OK. Fair enough

  10. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Everton playing a very dangerous game.

  11. Pringle
    11 years, 11 months ago

    What to do?

    A. ADM, Costa --> Rooney, Yaya
    B. ADM, Costa --> Rooney, Hazard
    C. ADM, Bertrand --> Siggy, Baines/Coleman

    1. Muffinz
      11 years, 11 months ago

      C.

      1. Muffinz
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Hmm, or B..

    2. HonestBlatter
      11 years, 11 months ago

      B.

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Coleman much more attacking. I'd rather have him than baines based on this team shape/ performance

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Poch has taken Baines out of the game with Lennon.

      1. chrisjdgrady
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Not much of a real LB is he

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

      Baines has penalties and freekicks though

    3. Nasri Loves Kompany
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Based on one game?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Well mirallas is back now so changes things

    4. Heydudes13
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed.

  13. AlCapwnUK
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Is anyone expecting ADM to fall again?
    Not sure if i should go for the early transfer, especially as it is not so early this gameweek

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Probably tomorrow.

  14. Slash
    11 years, 11 months ago

    What is the consensus on Rooney playing next GW?

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Probably

    2. QPR expects... glory!
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He'll start

  15. gillih90
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Just seen Krul's out till after christmas..

    Backup keeper is Schmeichel, already did my transfers, is it worth it do Krul > Sub 5.3M keeper for -4?

    1. AlCapwnUK
      11 years, 11 months ago

      not for a hit
      start Schmeichel
      Sort keepers when you get the chance

      1. WoodsyOwl
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Agreed.

        Even if Schmeichel only gets 1 point the new keeper would need to get 6 points to make the hit worthwhile. Too much of a gamble IMO.

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Schmeichel will do against the scousers.

    3. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Where you seen that?

  16. harrysponge
    11 years, 11 months ago

    A) ADM + Bertrand --> Hazard + Jenkinson (-4)
    B) ADM + Bertrand --> Hazard + Collins (-4) with 0.5 ITB

  17. only2
    11 years, 11 months ago

    ADM -> Oscar?

  18. Clam. ☘️
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Yun out for long?

    1. Heydudes13
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Sounds like you're considering a defender called Long HAHA

    2. AlCapwnUK
      11 years, 11 months ago

      hope not, got him in for Duff in a contender for boring transfer of the year

  19. Jonny Sutt
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Please Rate my team chaps

    ---------------------De Gea----------------------
    -------Baines Taylor Janmatt Azpili---------
    Downing Hazard Siggy Sanchez Ameobi
    ---------------------Aguero-----------------------

    Jakupovic Hutton Kane Costa

  20. Alan The Llama
    11 years, 11 months ago

    They should get McGeady on to torture Chiriches

  21. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    ADM + Ward Prowse -> Hazard + Marney (-4)

    Yes or no?

    Already have Sanchez and Siggy

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Surely Boyd over Marney.

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 11 months ago

        0.1m short of affording Boyd

        1. Gregor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Oops, sorry I hadn't noticed Boyd has risen.

      2. Jonny Sutt
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Ameobi

  22. Pringle
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Who are the nailed ones in the Tottenham defense now?

    1. JWF
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Excellent question!

      1. JWF
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Lloris and probably Rose when he's fit.

    2. The Light Knight
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Fazio is too slow to play the system but hasn't been dropped yet, so who knows?

      1. JWF
        11 years, 11 months ago

        This

      2. Pringle
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Too punty for their nice run coming up then?

        1. The Light Knight
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Probably. I've had Vert all season and just can't be bothered to sell

  23. only2
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Best cheap midfielder for max £5,5? Considering bringing in Chris Brunt. Am I mad?

    1. JWF
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Jedinak

      1. only2
        11 years, 11 months ago

        thanks!

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yes. Maybe Jedinak cos of his set pieces.

      1. only2
        11 years, 11 months ago

        thanks!

    3. chrisjdgrady
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Boyd and keep him on the bench and use that 1.0 elsewhere

    4. Wooders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Jedinak

  24. JWF
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Vlad is rubbish at full back. He'll be lucky not to get sent off.

  25. Total Foot 5
    11 years, 11 months ago

    "Hey mate. Soldado, Smalling, Joe Cole and Glen Johnson have all scored this weekend."

    https://vine.co/v/hUbZ3uiFHzT

  26. chrisjdgrady
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Pelle > Austin
    Yun > Azpi

    Free

    Sounds beautiful on paper at least doesn't it?

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yep

    2. AlCapwnUK
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Sounds GREAT

  27. Tyler the Pritts
    11 years, 11 months ago

    best guess on qualifying score for Paddy's Power?

    1. Mull
      11 years, 11 months ago

      43

    2. Phaze 1
      11 years, 11 months ago

      40

    3. Epic Fail
      11 years, 11 months ago

      No idea, but I'm looking forward to being in the first round 😎

  28. thepuntmaster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    When does the member's cup happen?

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

      Usually starts in February I think. Could be wrong of course 🙂

  29. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Just look at Kane, just look at him.

  30. Jonny Sutt
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Only 3 clean sheets against poor opposition all season, who fancied baines for the armband against hull?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Still me.
