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.

  2. karankachiefs

    So everyone is captaining aguero midweek right?

    1. Walsh
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Rooney again for me.

      1. Ady87
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Same.

    2. Caine & Co.
      11 years, 11 months ago

      yes

    3. Heydudes13
      11 years, 11 months ago

      That Sunderland bus looked gnarly.

      1. Heydudes13
        11 years, 11 months ago

        And Sunderland are notoriously City's bogey side.

    4. NATSTER
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Him or Rooney if he starts upfront.

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

      Got it on Hazard at the moment.

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

      Bony for me

      QPR are missing Yun and concede a lot

  3. NATSTER
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Next GW.

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

    1. PKB
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Boyd

    2. Walsh
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Kane by a mile.

    3. NATSTER
      11 years, 11 months ago

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

  4. Somalion
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Average score has jumped up big time.

  5. Djerbil
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Midweek FPL .. stuffs which dreams are made of

  6. John t penguin

      1. Debauchy
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Top Dog

  7. rickardinho
    11 years, 11 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
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Jamie Carragher - Fountain of all Knowledge.

      1. rickardinho
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Nah, that would be the philosopher himself, LVG 😉

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

    53 all out. Jedinak saves me again

    1. Ady87
      11 years, 11 months ago

      58 -4

      Jedinak doing the business for me too.

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      11 years, 11 months ago

      55 all out.

  9. Ramboo
    11 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Christina.
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Not this week

    2. madame shelly
      11 years, 11 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

    Pelle to
    A)Welbeck
    B)Giroud
    C)Austin

  11. Sol

    Good to go for W14

    Fabianski
    Baines Hutton Wisdom Duff*
    Hazrad Fab Sanchez Siggy
    Austin (C) Kun

    Yun* Costa*

  12. Dušan Citizen
    11 years, 11 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
      11 years, 11 months ago

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

  13. FPL Daniel
    11 years, 11 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
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Bench Aguero every week.

    2. FPL Daniel
      11 years, 11 months ago

      And everyone are getting CHambers or Jedinak for Chadli 🙁

    3. Walsh
      11 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. PKB
        11 years, 11 months ago

        😆

    4. coran2123
      11 years, 11 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…
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Always have a mid 1st sub

  14. DIegoCosta19
    11 years, 11 months ago

    clichy or creswell?

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

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

      1. Ady87
        11 years, 11 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
    11 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. The Machine
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Got 18 from 13k.

      Should be enough

      1. Djerbil
        11 years, 11 months ago

        u could be in Top 7k

    2. Touré De Force
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Nah you'll make it easy.

  16. The Machine
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Pp qualification score prediction?

    1. Namtab Nomolos
      11 years, 11 months ago

  17. Andy1
    11 years, 11 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
      11 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. Ramboo
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Downing then Costa

  18. Feed tha Sheep
    11 years, 11 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
      11 years, 11 months ago

      i dont like those transfers no

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        11 years, 11 months ago

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

    2. chrisjdgrady
      11 years, 11 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
        11 years, 11 months ago

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

    3. copps
      11 years, 11 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
    11 years, 11 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
    11 years, 11 months ago

    34 not going to cut it for the cup 🙁

  21. chrisjdgrady
    11 years, 11 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
    11 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. copps
      11 years, 11 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...
    11 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Boss Hogg
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Adam Johnson always scores doesn't he?

      1. Jax
        11 years, 11 months ago

        only scored once.

    2. Jax
      11 years, 11 months ago

      last 4 actually...

    3. Caine & Co.
      11 years, 11 months ago

      gotta get pants

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

        Classic stocking filler. Satsumas for me.

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

      yes, City struggles against teams parking the bus

  24. Boss Hogg
    11 years, 11 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
    11 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. chrisjdgrady
      11 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. Whazza
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Mou presser tomorrow, no?

    2. RSe
      11 years, 11 months ago

      ADM could drop again tonight

      1. Whazza
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Damn, ty

  26. zon
    11 years, 11 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
    11 years, 11 months ago

    This team isn't even too bad as well. Very unlucky.
    http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/2155565/event-history/13/

    1. Djerbil
      11 years, 11 months ago

      yeah decent team

    2. rickardinho
      11 years, 11 months ago

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

    3. Whazza
      11 years, 11 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 months ago

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

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

  29. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    fpl discovery

    Average 39
    Top 10k 41.6

  30. Stretford End
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Any ideas what the average will be.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      11 years, 11 months ago

      39 it seems.

      1. Stretford End
        11 years, 11 months ago
