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.

      1. only2
        • 13 Years

        ty!

  2. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

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

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

      right

    2. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Not really.loads of options

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

      yup

    4. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      No

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

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

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

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

    7. copps
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      would prefer austin.

  3. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 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
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    is Clichy nailed on?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      For now at least.

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

        good call on kun(c)

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

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

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

            The poll.

            😥

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

              In theory it looked a great option.

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

      As nailed as the victims of True Detective

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

        😆 WTF!

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

    352 on the horizon

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

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

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

        Why would you not play Kane?

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

          This

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

    Baines on 0 points,just like last gw

  7. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    my ML leader has Eriksen (c). 🙁

  8. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

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

  9. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Keep or sell Baines?

    He's a heavy weight in defense...

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Sell 2 weeks ago or keep.

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

      Hull, QPR, Stoke

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

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

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          OK. Fair enough

  10. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Everton playing a very dangerous game.

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

    What to do?

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

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

      C.

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

        Hmm, or B..

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

      B.

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

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

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

      Poch has taken Baines out of the game with Lennon.

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

        Not much of a real LB is he

    2. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Baines has penalties and freekicks though

    3. Nasri Loves Kompany
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Based on one game?

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

        Well mirallas is back now so changes things

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

      Agreed.

  13. AlCapwnUK
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 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
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Probably tomorrow.

  14. Slash
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    What is the consensus on Rooney playing next GW?

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Probably

    2. QPR expects... glory!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He'll start

  15. gillih90
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 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
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

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

      1. WoodsyOwl
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 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
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Schmeichel will do against the scousers.

    3. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Where you seen that?

  16. harrysponge
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

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

  17. only2
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    ADM -> Oscar?

  18. Clam. ☘️
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Yun out for long?

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

      Sounds like you're considering a defender called Long HAHA

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

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

  19. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 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
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    They should get McGeady on to torture Chiriches

  21. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 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
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Surely Boyd over Marney.

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        0.1m short of affording Boyd

        1. Gregor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

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

      2. Jonny Sutt
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Ameobi

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

    Who are the nailed ones in the Tottenham defense now?

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

      Excellent question!

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

        Lloris and probably Rose when he's fit.

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

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

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

        This

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

        Too punty for their nice run coming up then?

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

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

  23. only2
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

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

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

      Jedinak

      1. only2
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        thanks!

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Maybe Jedinak cos of his set pieces.

      1. only2
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        thanks!

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

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

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

      Jedinak

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

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

  25. Total Foot 5

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

    Pelle > Austin
    Yun > Azpi

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yep

    2. AlCapwnUK
      • 12 Years

    When does the member's cup happen?

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

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

  29. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Just look at Kane, just look at him.

  30. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 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
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Still me.
