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.

    anyone else thinking Yaya troll if Kun is out for a bit?

    1. davies
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, which he will.

    2. Reedy
      11 years, 10 months ago

      For sure. Would mean losing Boyd though!

  5. Zombie
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Aguero -> Ings
    Wanyama -> Yaya

    Life is good again

  6. RyanC

    So... looks like Aguero, Austin and Chambers out this week.

    And I was hoping to avoid Christmas shopping for as long as possible. 🙁

  7. Rossamous
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Yaya ownership likely to skyrocket now that Aguero is out for a tad bit?

    1. The3rdTurd
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Hmm, would have thought City become less appealing with both Aguero and Silva out. Surely they can't get soft penalty decisions like that every week?

      1. Rossamous
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Silva is nearly back. Maybe next week

  8. Debauchy

      Omg you know who City's second penalty taker is. Unbelievable.

    Yaya takes Kun penalty. It's the reverse of last season. Casuals will now over take us all 🙁

    1. Prime
      11 years, 10 months ago

      How is this in anyway a reverse of last season? It's exactly the same.

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        11 years, 10 months ago

        No idea. I think he's drunk

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

          On the way. It made sense in my head.

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

        Calm down! Casuals got overtaken in second half last year.

      I'm only on 18 with 5 to play

  15. Sheep Flavour
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Does the ref know he just gave a free kick to EFC there? I think he thought he was booking Barry for having the cheek to touch the Citys players boot with his head!!

  16. Jafooli
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Mirallas needs to sod right off.

  17. Piggs Boson
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Downing to save our GWs 😆

    1. Lloyd Xmas
      11 years, 10 months ago

    3. QPR expects... glory!
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Tomorrow we're ALL Hammers fans 😯

  18. BlueIncognito
    11 years, 10 months ago

    If the referee wasn't incompetent, it would be 0-0 with 9v11.

    1. Jafooli
      11 years, 10 months ago

      That is actually a fair point.....

  19. John t penguin
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Fully expect Everton to get a pen and miralles to be taking them now

  20. Frank Black
    11 years, 10 months ago

    If Kun is out for long for me is going to be Kun out Yaya in.

    1. Not Irish
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yup

  21. rdpx
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I just need 5 more goals from Yaya and I won't have left any points on my bench by choosing Chambers over Jagielka....

  22. The Light Knight
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Were Stoke's disallowed goal and Arsenal's pen correct decisions?

    1. BlueIncognito
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No and no, Diouf was onside

    2. 1966 was a great year for E…
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Pen was soft, the offside was confusing - someone was offside, but it looked like the player who was blocking the keeper's view wasn't.

      If you're not interfering with play, you shouldn't be on the pitch...

      1. The Light Knight
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Hmm, frustrating stuff
        Ta lads

  23. PaulParker
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Problem is, if i sell Aguero i need him to drop by .4 to be able to afford him again!

    1. WoodsyOwl
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Depends how long he's out for though really - if it's a week then fair enough if we're talking months he'll probably drop that much anyway.

    Austin owners ditching or keeping?.ll

    1. OptimusBlack

      keeping

    3. WoodsyOwl
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Keeping. Boyd plays next week and he's back for WBA at home the following GW.

  25. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I think I'll get rid of Baines soon, can't stand the sight of Mirallas standing over his Freekicks and Corners. He disgusts me.

  26. AWESOME-O
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Costa or Rooney for Aguero?

    1. Somalion

    You don't have that reaction to "just a knock"... Very concerned 😕

    1. The Light Knight
      11 years, 10 months ago

      If it were to the balls you might

      1. Somalion
        11 years, 10 months ago

        It wasn't, I checked 😯

    2. John t penguin
      11 years, 10 months ago

      You would if it was the wife knocking on the hotel door

      1. Somalion
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I believe something else would be coming out the other end if that was the situation...
