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.

    1. Seb Wassell
      11 years, 10 months ago

    Fabs > Haz

      You want Arsenal defenders? 😀

    2. Zombie
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I will rather not invest in this arsenal defense.

      1. Sif
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Would like Chelsea or City but none nailed on for that price.

        1. Epic Fail
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Then save yourself some money and go cheap. How about Swansea?

      2. A guy
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Depends on who's playing. I'd be happy to invest if the backline of Debuchy-Mertesacker-Koscielny-Gibbs was fully fit.

    Please. Oh Please. Agent Lukaku, please save Chelsea.

  5. Shifty
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone with Krulliot, Chambers, Austin, Saylor for GW16?

    1. Jafooli

      1. money face bandwagon

  6. A guy
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Aguero on the bench.

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Waiting for kick off?

    2. mgilbert86
      11 years, 10 months ago

      bony vc

  7. mgilbert86
    11 years, 10 months ago

    i have a feeling this is why we have that never bench never captain rule for baines, he's gonna troll

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 10 months ago

      It's a bollox rule.

      1. Les Bleus
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Is it really though?

        1. Epic Fail
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Yes.

          1. Les Bleus
            11 years, 10 months ago

            I guess we'll find out 😉

        2. Reedy
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Yes

    2. money face bandwagon
      11 years, 10 months ago

      As far as i know a lot of benched cs due to the nbnc rule currently. We will see after the game!

  8. Elniñorules

    Wenger deserves to be sacked for benching Koscielny.

    1. A guy
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Wasn't he unfit?

  9. Jump in Micah
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Yaya to score? Looks like he might quite attacking

  10. Jitterbug
    11 years, 10 months ago

    28 from 5 with Guzan, Baines, Clyne, Mirallas, Siggy, Aguero to play

    Not too shabby 🙂

    1. Les Bleus
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Captain played?

      1. Jitterbug
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yh I took a punt on Austin, I'll tell you how I feel about it after this game

        1. Les Bleus
          11 years, 10 months ago

          😉

        2. Jax
          11 years, 10 months ago

          most ppl will outscore you after the aguero show

        3. Nomar
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Still got you 12 points. If the ref hadn't have been a **** you could have gotten a 20+ point haul from him.

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Link your team. Makes your comment more interesting.

  11. Chris_White
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Best defender for 4.9 until Jan WC?

    Naylor? Tomkins?

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Hutton.

      1. Chris_White
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Have Guzan

        1. Epic Fail
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I'd probably still go for it anyway.

          1. Chris_White
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Hmm, okay. Cheers EF

          2. 7shadesofsmoke
            11 years, 10 months ago

            I have them both. Given the investment and their fixtures, I think it's great value

            1. 4vets
              11 years, 10 months ago

              Ditto.

        2. Robbens Diving Instructor
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Irrelevant

          1. 4vets
            11 years, 10 months ago

            😆

          2. 7shadesofsmoke
            11 years, 10 months ago

            irreverent 😉

        3. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I doubled up - not sure how that's going to work out but they have good fixtures over he next few weeks.

  12. Obi Wan Elokobi
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Should I do Dummett to Clichy or is Kolarov going to start playing again.

  13. Cheggers v2
    11 years, 10 months ago

    my cat just loves winding up the dogs next door, absolutely hilarious scenes

    1. getfunky
      11 years, 10 months ago

      dogs are so stupid. there's one by me & the foxes wind it up all the time, you'd think after 50,000 barks the dog might actually cotton on to the fact theyre not paying the slightest bit of attention to the barking, in fact they play right in front of it.

  14. SC not pearls before swine
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Stoopid Krulliot. I could put up with the mediocre points, but both injured at once?!? What were the chances that this happens two years in a row for the most popular handcuffed keeper combos?

    1. money face bandwagon
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Juz as yaya having a trolling last season..things just occur liddat. 2 rc in 1 minute..and both popular picks..wads the chance

  15. Podge
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I cant see a defence I want to buy in to 🙁

    1. Piggs Boson
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Sunderland?

      1. Podge
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Wham and Hull is about the best of it yeh, hardly worth it though.

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      11 years, 10 months ago

      me too

    3. Jump in Micah
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Man city

    4. Reedy
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I know what you mean. This is why Baines is such fantasy gold (recent returns notwithstanding).

  16. Jax
    11 years, 10 months ago

    pearson to be sacked after villa defeat

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

      doubtful - most of the fans still believe and the owners are reasonably supportive. Besides, they might win.

    2. Nomar
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Well, its gone a long time with no Prem managers sacked. Leicester might nick a point up there though.

  17. 1314
    11 years, 10 months ago

    safe to get Guzan now before tomorrow's match ?

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 10 months ago

      It's not safe, no.

      1. 1314
        11 years, 10 months ago

        ironic ? his price is definitely gonna rise .

    2. Les Bleus
      11 years, 10 months ago

      He might pull an Elliot.

  18. Piggs Boson
    11 years, 10 months ago

    No matter how much crappier this week gets, I've always got RVP on Monday 😆

    1. Jax
      11 years, 10 months ago

      he has a good record v saints.

    2. davies
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Can't wait for Rooney on MNF. Could give us a fat green arrow.

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

        What do you think our chances are tomorrow? I'm tempting providence (in the right direction) by playing Guzan and Hutton.

  19. Rex Lapis
    11 years, 10 months ago

    is Ameobi nailed on?

    1. Podge
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yeh

  20. Jump in Micah
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Must be a lot of combined fab, chambers and Austin owners

    1. Cheggers v2
      11 years, 10 months ago

      hi, 2 frees should soften the blow though

      1. Jump in Micah
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yeh keep fab and rid the other two

    2. AWESOME-O
      11 years, 10 months ago

      /raises hand

    3. Nomar
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Aye, we're here.

      Like Shearer I have 2 FT's though. I'm keeping Austin and getting Haz in for Fab. Chambers will go for Hutton or Dummett I suspect. No dramas mate.

      Sorry to disappoint you if you were after lots of hand wringing and gnashing of teeth.

  21. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Thinking I might get Downing and O'Shea over Yun and Mirallas

  22. A.T
    11 years, 10 months ago

    3-3

    1. Reedy

  23. Azathoth
    11 years, 10 months ago

    1. Piggs Boson
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Good imo

  24. Heels_Over_Head
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Jonny Evans, Phil Jones, Mathieu Debuchy or Alan Hutton

  25. money face bandwagon
    11 years, 10 months ago

    For those who lol@costa to rooney last gw..u might end up looking silly this gw

    1. Nomar
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Costa gets Hull at the bridge next week.

  26. il Brutto
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Any reason not to get Pants in for Schmeichel for next week?

  27. tokara
    11 years, 10 months ago

    How long is chambers out for?

    And is Azp still nailed? i actually thought Luis played better

  28. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Who to sell Chambers for...?

  29. mojoindojo
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Fecking lurkers who crawl out with their so-called sub par scores.

    1. money face bandwagon
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Lol. U sure there are no people with grav doing so too? Relax this forum is for fun. Everyone has their moments

  30. Screaming Midget
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I know Christmas is near, but I think some players are picking up the wrong cards.

    Who is suspended now? Chambers, Fabregas, Austin - who else?
