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.

    Myhill-Guzan

    Hutton-Duff-Wisdom-Chambers-N Taylor

    Hazard-ADM-Sigurdsson-Sanchez-Boyd

    Austin-Costa-Aguero

    A : ADM & Duff --> Fabregas & Rangel/Williams/Cresswell
    B : ADM & Duff --> Downing/Eriksen & Baines/Ivanovich

    A or B and with who?

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

      I am gonna do B I think to Eriksen - I have almost the same team as you

    I've had a shocker of a week with only 30 points :/ so any suggestions for transfers?

    Fabianski - McCarthy
    Duff - Moore - Bertrand - Baines - Wisdom
    Downing - Fabregas - Sanchez - Di Maria - Boyd
    Costa - Aguero - Ayoze

    I was thinking Moore and ADM > Reid and Siggy?

      Still got a thing about Barnes?

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…

        Haha . Auto correct button seems to

    two hand balls in one play

  6. TeamSteam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Shoulda been given. No way is that a natural position. Baines shafted=/

  7. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I need a decent defender until January wildcard (maximum of 4.9 to spend)

    Any ideas?

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

      Chambers

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        He's 5

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

          He's gone up to 5? Got him at 4.6 didn't notice. My bad

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

      Most will say Naylor, considering fixtures hard to argue against that

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Already got him

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

      At that budget it all depends on who rotates best with your other 4 defs.

      I'd say Caulker is the best choice to cover all the odd GW's.

      Wouldn't have said Chambers was a good choice to bring in, but Koscielny being back helps.

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

        Kos back is big for Chambers

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

          I kind regret getting Terry for Chambers based on how solid Arsenal looked yesterday. Hopefully it works out

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

            They should at least be able to shut out some of the non top 6 teams now. Mert and Monreal was a joke CB pairing!

            Kos and Mert last year were massive

  8. Sol
    • 11 Years

    what do you think of Barkley today ? shite ?

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

      Exciting.

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

      far from it

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

      Very average.

      As always tries to do it all himself.

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

        i agree , i think he should be benched he is being selfish

  9. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years

    Denied a Baines pen

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

      Phew.

    2. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Added to Aguero denied pen.

      Contentious decisions affecting points.

      Maybe a function should be added in where we can pick a referee each week, and gain or lose points based on their decisions! Would certainly help me feel less bitter haha.

  10. 420king
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I got robbed of two penalties tonight...

    1. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Who do you play for?

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

    Kane in pain.

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

    Impossible for the ref to see that one.

    1. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Not really.

  13. rickardinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on these moves: Costa+Boyd > Yaya+Kane(-4)?

    Would give me this team, that is set up perfectly rotation wise in the front 8 (Kane-Siggy- Downing rotating) until the Jan-WC.

    Fabianski (Elliot)
    Baines Terry Hutton (Caulker Wisdom)
    Sanchez Hazard Yaya Siggy Downing
    Aguero Austin (Kane)

    1. Cowboy John
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I was just looking at exactly those moves. 🙂

      Kane so much more potential for only 0.4 extra,,,,

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

        Those moves are exact money swaps too so anyone can make them without money itb

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

    Mirallas or Eriksen?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure I like either but of the two, Eriksen

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

      Mirallas.

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

      Eriksen (just)

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

      Keeping Costa?

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

        Thinking of Rooney...

    5. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
