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.

    Aguero + Sterling ---> Costa + Sanchez

    -4 ... wise moves?

    1. Zombie
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero maybe okay. Jeez

    2. Elfozzie 42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Surely you have to hear how serious it is for Aguero before you make a decision?

    3. Sheep Flavour

      COSTA owner here but he hasnt set the world alight recently.

    You just have to laugh at this gameweek really, so many fantasy assets have imploded

    1. Screaming Midget
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      True.

  3. Elfozzie 42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Lowest scoring game week in history?
    Still I guess Baines points look more likely?
    Aside for that I'm looking to West Ham and Swansea to save the week - go figure!

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Snow-hit ones have seen an average of about 7.

  4. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    No Kompany
    No Aguero

    Baines, you can get a CS and score.

  5. Trigg ⭐️
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Taking a -8 is better than playing a WC, if you ask me.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I agree and if Kun is out long term that is what I will do

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        2 FTs.

        Kun, Cesc, Chambo and Austin can all go for -8!

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Keep Austin

    The good news:

    I have Marney, so that'll be 2 points sorted next week!

  7. Qubit
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I dunno I go off to order a new washing machine and come back to carnage. What did i miss?

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      40% off at Curry's

  8. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    For those of us with Rooney who don't want Costa picking a replacement could be tough

    Benteke, Lukaku, Kane seem the best bets

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Kane ?

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe even Bony

  9. Zep
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    FPL down for anyone else?

    1. Zombie
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Why would you go there 😀 ?

      1. Zep
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Punishment...

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Its crashed with amount of people selling Aguero

    3. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Everyone gone on to take 16 point hits.

  10. Deo
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero exit strategy - What's yours? (If he's out for a considerable amount of time.)

    I don't have Costa, so it might be him.

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Wait for news for pellegrini before I do anything.

    2. Zombie
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Tekkers, Rooney, Costa : There are options available. At least it will make captaincy more interesting

    3. Tangerine Army XI
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Kun - Rooney
      Sterling - Yaya

      For free

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

      Have Costa, so Rooney looks next best option if he fit

    5. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Rooney maybe
      Already have Costa but he's pretty useless at mo.

  11. Viper
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I have Fab, Chadli, Aguero, Austin..

    Wildcard?

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I have 3 of the 4, no way am I hitting the button

    2. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No ... Fab & Austin only for the week.

  12. ameenkw
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Phases of me capping Austin:

    a) After 1st half, 2 points (worst decision)
    b) After a goal and an assist, 24 points (best decision)
    c) After red card, 12 points (worst decision)
    d) After Aguero's injury (best decision)

    what a decision it was!!!

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Probably a bit lucky that Aguero got injured, but there you go

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Not a player in fpl that has got me excited this season than aguero

    Big miss. Don't think there is another player who can be as consistent

    Big loss

    1. Raddy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      You are talking as if Aguero is dead.
      We have no idea of the extent of the injury

  14. drughi
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero has never done me good, never had him more then 3 games before getting injured. Easy swap to costa next week atleast

  15. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    My ml had costa (c) and no aguero. Feck my life

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I think you'll make up his Costa points

  16. Barnabus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Glad i saved my FT this week now, gonna need it i think.

  17. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Perhaps aguero was taken off due to a slight injury, and pelligrini was really cautious because he needs kun for the more important champs league match?

    1. Jones Town
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He was in tears - looked serious

  18. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Justed tuned in ...... what happened with Aguero ?

  19. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero will not be OK.

    He was crying.

    Man don't cry over a twinge.

  20. Zep
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Looks like I'm playing Caulker away to Everton and Boyd at home to So'ton...

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Boyd at home to So'ton is very likely for me too.

      Caulker still better than Yun for me.

  21. Wishdom Teeth
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Transfer on hold till I know the severity of aguero's injury

  22. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    -8 Here we come baby!

  23. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Elliot
    Fabregas
    Chambers
    Austin
    Aguero

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      My last 3 weeks I have not had less then 3 players flagged. Think my most was 7. These last game weeks have been deadly.

  24. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero never has just a knock. Probably (hopefully not) a bad injury.

  25. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    4,063 managers transferred Aguero in this week.

    They are surely feeling bad now or will find out tomorrow.

  26. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Troll on penos for city 😯

  27. Silky_Smooth ~
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    what is kun's injury? it look bad?

    1. Rafabio
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, he was crying. He probably knows he'll be out for a while...

  28. Punty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hah.. I'm trying to think about Austin, Chadli, Aguero, Krul etc.. it's like a billion combinations of things I have to decide, thank god I don't have Chambers/Fabregas etc also!

  29. Demel
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero, Wasilewki & Chambers > Dzeko, Baines & Terry?

  30. Tommyg
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Injury to upper thigh apparently.
