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.

    Used to get screwed over as an Aguero owner when he came off and Yaya got penalties last season. Now own Yaya for the first time ever and its lovely to be on the other side of it!

    People will sell Aguero tonight. Tekkers, Rooney, Bony, RVP, Pelle yet to play.. Could be some further tears if they got injured!

    I hate to say it, but with city's fixtures and no one else really cutting it as cover... yaya is gonna be essential over the Xmas period 🙁

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

      yup, he is

  7. Obi Wan Elokobi
    11 years, 10 months ago

    If Aguero is out I have just enough for Aguero and Boyd to Benteke and Yaya sound good?

    1. Lloyd Xmas
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yes,but you just dont know what will happen.

    2. Jax
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Villa don't score many

      1. Rossamous
        11 years, 10 months ago

        But tekkers will score the majority of them

  8. John t penguin
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Baines can't be fully recovered, hardly tries to cross balls and doesn't want free kicks

    1. Zombie
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Looks like that.

  9. Jimbo123
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Falcao ---> Dzeko in my draft league?

    1. Seb Wassell
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'd avoid Dzeko. He didn't even come on when Aguero got injured..

  10. tm245
    11 years, 10 months ago

    City are manhandling Everton but that cheap foul by Jagielka got the penalty call.

    1. Not Irish
      11 years, 10 months ago

      And kung fu kicking them in the face.

  11. BlueIncognito
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Does Baines know his shorts are too small?

  12. Salah’s Sonnet
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Just put the game on, can someome please tell me whats happened to Aguero?!

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

      Thigh injury as per early account s. The man was crying which indicated its more than a sore knee!

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Spiffing, cue the lowest scoring gameweek in the history of FPL

      2. AH 🙂
        11 years, 10 months ago

        how its not knee ligaments and all that ...

    2. rdpx
      11 years, 10 months ago

      he broke his leg

    3. Go Loons
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Knee injury. Able to walk off pitch but clearly in pain.

  13. Proggy
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Aguero ---> ???

    1. BlueIncognito
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Shrek

    2. Zombie
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Ings as you would want Yaya for your 5th mid.

      Ings & Austin both rotate perfectly Home & Away till some gameweeks

    3. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 10 months ago

      looking at
      Aguero, Mirallas & Chambers -> Benteke, Yaya & Zabaleta for -4... but just have enough money... and if tomorrow is like today...

    1. Declan

    2. Raddy
      11 years, 10 months ago

      7 points from 5 done inc c, 2 currently in play. 😎

  16. OPTA FPL
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Baines RC will sum up this gw

  17. fedolefan
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Seriously, how good is Navas. Hits the left back 100% of the time, every time, when crossing.

    1. Red Devil Swede
      11 years, 10 months ago

      He's Valencia in disguise

    2. davies
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Precision and consistency, mate. Top notch.

  18. The-Best
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Its not ligament so whats everone on about calm down jeeez he will probably be back next week

    1. Frank Black
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah......sure...next week.

    2. Obi Wan Elokobi
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Definitely not back next week he was crying.

    3. davies
      11 years, 10 months ago

      He was crying. I don't cry over a dead leg, as you say.

  19. davies
    11 years, 10 months ago

    In all seriousness, you have to feel for Aguero, FPL aside.

    He's in career best form, that puts him amongst the worlds elite, the best in his position. City back in form and a crucial CL game upcoming. Heartbreaking stuff.

    On the positive - next weeks captain choice is easy.

    1. New Ghost
      11 years, 10 months ago

      yep, rooney against pool 😎

    2. Takedog1
      11 years, 10 months ago

      This. He's a joy to watch.

    3. Caesar, Hot Mustache
      11 years, 10 months ago

      depends on how long he's of for. frankly, I hope he can pull a Rooney & be fit for the weekend

  20. Retrosynth
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Not really too worried about the Austin card, just misses the Everton game. And with Aguero injured I'm worried with Costa's form...

  21. RangerMouse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Guzan (Elliot)
    Azpilicueta - Yun - Hutton (Moore, N.Taylor)
    Hazard - Sanchez - Downing - Siggy (Boyd)
    Aguero - Costa - Austin

    0.2m spare, what changes now Aguero injured???

    1. Sparrer
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Aguero and Downing to Yaya and Ings. At least, that's what I'll be doing. If it stays as is...

  22. Caesar, Hot Mustache
    11 years, 10 months ago

    hope Kun returns for the Leicester game, else Dzeko in, no?

    1. Sheep Flavour
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yaya?

      1. Caesar, Hot Mustache
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I would try Kun + Chadli for Yaya & Bojan, if that works.

        gut says like for like swap in Dzeko would do though.

  23. AWESOME-O
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Yun is my star player this week. Says it all.

    1. sttewwizza
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Hahahaha... my too.... 🙂

    2. Tangerine Army XI
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Same here, scored double the points of my next highest!

  24. Think Tank
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Highlight of the game week:

    Azpil getting subbed off before Chelsea conceded the second goal.

    1. Syd.
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Wisdom cleansheet

    2. Skipdipper
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Ditto

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

      It's a memorable week when... 😀

  25. Heydudes13
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Got tomorrow to judge whether Sakho will go straight back into the side and see if he's still as good as he was. But all going well does...

    Marney > Yaya Toure
    Aguero > Sakho

    ...sound okay?

    1. Heydudes13
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Annoying that Austin got himself sent off. Would have just got him...

    2. AWESOME-O
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Sakho is risky!

    3. Simon69
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Worse to be somone who actually just got him 😉

  26. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
