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.

    So everyone is captaining aguero midweek right?

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

      Rooney again for me.

      1. Ady87
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Same.

    2. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      yes

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

      That Sunderland bus looked gnarly.

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

        And Sunderland are notoriously City's bogey side.

    4. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Him or Rooney if he starts upfront.

    5. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Got it on Hazard at the moment.

    6. elkunaguero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Im concerned with Sunderland parking the bus, and City seems to struggle away from home vs teams that defend deep

    7. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Bony for me

      QPR are missing Yun and concede a lot

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

    Next GW.

    Will you play Boyd (NEW) or Kane (che) ?

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

      Boyd

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

      Kane by a mile.

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

      1:1 .... More help needed to decide.

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

    Average score has jumped up big time.

  5. Djerbil
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Midweek FPL .. stuffs which dreams are made of

  6. John t penguin

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

        Top Dog

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

    Kane sounds a bit awkward for some reason when he talks. That said he seems like a really honest lad.

    Carragher praising Kane and saying he's nailed down that starting role too. Good enough for me.

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

      Jamie Carragher - Fountain of all Knowledge.

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

        Nah, that would be the philosopher himself, LVG 😉

  8. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
    • 14 Years

    53 all out. Jedinak saves me again

    1. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      58 -4

      Jedinak doing the business for me too.

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      55 all out.

  9. Ramboo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Did anyone see Downing play this gameweek? How did he look? Worth getting?

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

      Not this week

    2. madame shelly
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      only on motd. could have easily been put through for a 1 on 1 at the end.
      think he played centrally - but hasnt he set up 5/6 sakhos goals so with him out, who knows?

      he assisted the assist !

  10. Snikii

    Good to go for W14

    Fabianski
    Baines Hutton Wisdom Duff*

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

    Your captain for next GW, lads?

    I am not going with Aguero because City haven't scored there long time, Aguero might be rested if Dzeko is back.

    Currently on Hazard. Siggy and Rooney only other 2 real options.

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

      Can't see resting Aguero, the chase is on for City.

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

    I envy all of the lads getting lucky pts from bench. I never do. This time Chadli out (0pts), Yun in (0pts) 🙁 Story of my life. And everytime my first sub scores decent he never comes in 🙁

    What to do, to improve my "bench luck"?

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

      Bench Aguero every week.

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

      And everyone are getting CHambers or Jedinak for Chadli 🙁

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

      Bench Aguero, Alexis, and Baines next week. Sure to be some good bench points there.

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

        😆

    4. coran2123
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Barely anyone is getting lucky pts off the bench, just that those who do get them naturally feel inclined to tell others.. same with the 'scorechecks' every GW!

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

      Always have a mid 1st sub

  14. DIegoCosta19
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    clichy or creswell?

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

      Clichy? Not heard his name until today. Creswell of course.

      1. Ady87
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Was all I read for a couple of days a fortnight ago when Kola rob got injured in the warm up. That return today repays the punt people took. I'm not entirely convinced by a City fullback choice just yet.

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

    16 points today and only 5 off the top 10k. This is going to be close!

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Got 18 from 13k.

      Should be enough

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

        u could be in Top 7k

    2. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Nah you'll make it easy.

  16. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Pp qualification score prediction?

    1. Namtab Nomolos
      • 15 Years

      43

    2. John t penguin
      • 11 Years

  17. Andy1
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Best replacement for ADM?

    A. Hazard
    B. Yaya
    C. ADM --> chadli to afford pelle to Costa next week
    D. ADM & pelle --> eriksen & Rooney - 4 points
    E. Something else

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

      A

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

      Downing then Costa

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

    Need a bit of advice had four awful GW so thinking if wildcarding?
    Is it worth it to do Lloris Gilks Chester Bertrand Wanyama Pelle costa > Adrian Elliot Azpi Bartley Yedinak Bony and Rooney?

    Yes or no? Please and thank you

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

      i dont like those transfers no

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

        All of them?lol or what particular ones do you not like?

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

      If you're gonna have a 4.0 backup keeper have him be the backup to your main keeper I see a lot of people getting screwed over that lately with Krul

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

        Yes but he is starting for Newcastle at the min so might aswel get him on wildcard?

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

      pefer fabianski to adrian. austin is good value imo. and i do like bony's prospects. i dont like the other moves though

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

    harry kane's minutes to goals ratio is promising for a kid his age. even last season he had 3 goals in 500 mins

  20. Touré De Force
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    34 not going to cut it for the cup 🙁

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

    Think my good season is derailing. I enjoyed my little run that got me into the top 2k while it lasted

    ;( ;( ;( ;(

    Poor me

  22. Djerbil
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Think Top 10k avg for the day is slightly skewed as a large % fell out of it last night

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

      its crazy how quick it can turn sometimes. with bad luck you can suddenly have 5 players out of form/injured.

  23. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    last 3 Sunderland-City games have been 1-0...

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Adam Johnson always scores doesn't he?

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

        only scored once.

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

      last 4 actually...

    3. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      gotta get pants

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

        Classic stocking filler. Satsumas for me.

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

      yes, City struggles against teams parking the bus

  24. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Still can't decide whether to do this transfer or not...

    Chadli and Costa OUT for Hazard and Kane. 4 pts.

    Really tempted.
    What do you think?

  25. Whazza
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Doing ADM->Haz, safe to wait until tomorrow? (no price changes tonight?)

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

      No reason to wait if you are sure you wanna do it imo

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

        Mou presser tomorrow, no?

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

      ADM could drop again tonight

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

        Damn, ty

  26. zon
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Rooney in for -4? Don't have Aguero atm but I plan to replace Costa with him after Chelsea's home encounter with Hull.

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

    This team isn't even too bad as well. Very unlucky.

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

      haha wow, that is shocking. basically every one of the failed big-hitters this week!

    3. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Ugh, I had one of those weeks last season. Good team but no points, pretty much ruined my season.

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

    Any complaints about Costa+Boyd > Yaya+Kane (-4)?

    Benching Kane(che) next GW but playing him most weeks after that.

  29. Fabreghastly
