With the title race back on, we turn to five Premier League encounters to keep the Gameweek rolling, before Manchester City look to maintain the Chelsea chase with three points against Everton at the Etihad.

Fantasy managers will be concentrating their attention on two venues in particular, with QPR hosting fellow strugglers Burnley at Loftus Road, whilst Arsenal and Alexis Sanchez pay visit to the Britannia to take on Stoke.

Sanchez is undoubtedly the most popular asset on show before Sergio Aguero takes to the turf this evening, as the Chilean looks to extend his run of seven goals in as many league outings. The Gunners are also chasing a third straight clean sheet, although Mark Hughes’ Potters are unlikely to give them an easy ride – the big team news from the Britannia is that Olivier Giroud earns a recall, with Danny Welbeck benched.

As for QPR, Charlie Austin will be carrying the hopes of both Harry Redknapp and a horde of Fantasy managers as he looks to continue a rich vein of scoring form when the Clarets pay visit. Danny Ings will be one to watch for the visitors in a battle of the budget strikers down at Shepherds Bush.

Elsewhere this afternoon, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen take increased ownership into the White Hart Lane encounter with Crystal Palace, whilst at Anfield, Liverpool (with Steven Gerrard benched again) will look to build on the 3-1 midweek win over Leicester with another three points against visiting Sunderland. Hull City’s Humberside date with West Brom rounds off the day’s offerings, before we take the trip to Manchester to catch the latest episode of the Aguero show.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I knew Yun was a better bet than Chambers but I didn't have the guts. Kos' absence is a huge blow for Arsenal.

      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yet you 'knew'...

      1. OPTA FPL
        11 years, 10 months ago

        😮

    2. World XI
      11 years, 10 months ago

      If i knew Kos was out and Bellerín playing i would have benched Chambers

    I benched Siggy for Walters. Smug.

    1. Reedy
      11 years, 10 months ago

      And he was flagged. Genius!

      1. PogChamp
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah 🙂

    2. World XI
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Not when Siggy gets 3 Assists

  5. Heydudes13

    I wish you could transfer in players halfway through a match and get there points from there in.

    lol at chamber

  7. A Defender's Nightmare
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I feel so stupid saving FT instead of buying Hutton for Moore & starting Chambers. I mean 3 goals?! 😐

  8. GreenWindmill

    Hmm, think it's fair to say my decision to play Chambers and leave Baines on the bench looks like a poor one! Have to hope for Man City to thrash Everton to nil with Baines missing a penalty 😕

      Yun sitting locked away on my bench. Let's be honest none of us would have played chambers if we knew kos wasn't playing. Just one if those things. Annoying though.

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Very. Just need a red card to really run it in!

    Boyd took a shot off the post and had a coupl other shots on target.. and taking corners.. may well start playing him more often 😯

    1. FISSH
      11 years, 10 months ago

      wtf ! haha
      nearly put him ahead of siggy this week

    2. Walsh
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Boyd for Fab next week. Go on George!

    3. OPTA FPL

    Chambers awful.

    Debuchy about to be fast-tracked back into the team next weekend?

    1. World XI
      11 years, 10 months ago

      For sure.

  11. Rossamous

    Stoke players are my heroes

  12. Mílanista

    68.7% of the top 10k playing Chambers. Just need his usual yellow card and a 4th goal conceded now, preferably an OG 😈

    1. The Light Knight
      11 years, 10 months ago

      😈

    2. super zlatan
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Hell yeah

    3. The Machine
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Well we've enjoyed the 14 points in the last two, not to mention that 18 pointer 😉

    4. UnderstandablyDistraught
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Sad when you have to hope for the failure of better teams than yours to get ahead

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Sad that you took my post seriously 🙂

  13. Red Devil Swede

    Actually have a 1X bet in Stoke-Arsenal game.. feeling alright 🙂

    We are witnessing the power of home fixture. Thats one of the reason hy I like BPL.

    1. Boss Hogg
      11 years, 10 months ago

      What's the B stand for?

      1. Sess!

        Serious question? Barclays

        Barclays.....

        1. Boss Hogg
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Do people really use this?

          If I heard someone actually say out loud BPL or BARCLAYS Premier League, I would laugh in thier face.

          1. El Cube
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Well, theres the Swans playing in BPL too. Calling it English Premier League will make them Welsh feel left out. 😛

            1. Galfadez
              11 years, 10 months ago

              Lol I'd never even thought about the Welsh sides

          2. Benteke10
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Are you actually fried? A lot of people say BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE

  15. Boss Hogg
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Sanchez second half hat-trick.

    1. El Cube
      11 years, 10 months ago

      hear hear

  16. The Machine
    11 years, 10 months ago

    It is sooooo stupid. Why can't mertesacker and chambers mark crouch and shawcross and rest carry on with their zonal marking?

    And fflamini is so ridiculously shite. The ball is right in front him and he's waiting on the goal line for Walters to shoot

  17. Walsh
    11 years, 10 months ago

    *moans about something* *should have started x instead of y*

    No one cares.

        1. Arsennulment
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I'm actually delighted I started Yun , Wisdom and Clichy so there

  18. Game of Stones

    I am actually considering Bojan now, been great the last 3-4 games!

    1. El Cube
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Another Berahino in the making Id say. Id rather bet my money on Kane or Ayoze.

  25. A Defender's Nightmare
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Why don't Arsenal sack Wenger? Out of respect for his past achievements?

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      11 years, 10 months ago

      why should they?

      Who are they going to bring in?

      If Guardiola or Diego Simeone become available I can see them making some moves but otherwise, who'd do better?

      Wenger had performed miracles for that club

    2. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      All these historyless people asking for Wengers head, yet he comes through season after season after season. So glad none of you have actual influence on anything

      1. Boss Hogg
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Absolutely.

        Look back through Arsenal's history.
        Herbert Chapman, the early 70s and a bit of Geroge Graham.
        Otherwise, average.

        You'll miss Wenger when he's gone.

    3. UnderstandablyDistraught
      11 years, 10 months ago

      you and many others here know very little about football

  26. FPLEL

    Tis tough being an Arsenal fan...

    wouldn't be suprised to see sanchez dragged and rested now

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Can be rested midweek

  28. Arsenal Deli
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I'm not calling for Wenger to pack his bags and leave tomorrow. However, I think he and others on the Arsenal board should be working hard to find a replacement. It just can't continue, and I am personally starting to expect results like this which isn't right for a club like Arsenal. Change is needed in the Summer.

    1. FISSH
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I think I agree, Wenger needs to hang up his sleeping bag.

    2. Epic Fail
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Arsene should be looking fdor someone to replace himseldf? 😀

      1. fedolefan
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Lol. This.

      2. Arsenal Deli
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Wenger is very influential in making even the board decisions at the club and it's been known for some time that he will have a massive say on who he sees fit to replace him, just hope that doesn't mean he chooses someone with a similar philosophy of ignore tactics haha

      3. Epic Fail
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Typos 🙁

        It would cause too much turmoil, we are legless chickens at the minute, if he goes tomorrow players would probably turn into headless ones
