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.

    O genuinely thought after the Chelsea game Costa was a dead stick for most. With the complete lack of options I can see a double rise

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

      Oooh top

      Price protected still, I think.

    The reason he was crying because he is most likely to be out of the champions league game not because it's long term! Full of trolls in here

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Falcao won't start 2morrow. Mark my words

  5. RyanC

    Thinking Aguero > Ings and Boyd > Yaya.

    Bench Chambers and Austin. Yaya as 5th mid over Christmas period. Rotate Ings and Austin based on home fixtures.

    Makes sense, right?

    Already have Costa.

    1. OptimusBlack

          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Sensible choice. I literally did chambers ---> Oshea on the city kick off.

          Hit central

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

      Already have Costa
      Thinking Aguero>Bony and Jedinak>Yaya with a minor defensive adjustment to cover the spare change.

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

    Kun -> Costa or Rooney (Have Hazard)

    Fabregas -> Yaya

    -4.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      with his track record, I'd expect until the new year

  12. Bobby_Baggio
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    depending on kun i may do:

    Chambers > Azpi
    Fab > Yaya
    Kun > Bony (0.4m out from getting rooney)

    -4pt hit

    Charlie AUSTIN :

    Handed him the armband despite having Aguero in my team and also somehow managed to overlook the captaincy poll.

    Got my return.
    Could have had even more if it wasn't for the Red Card!

    But better than Costa in terms of FPL points for sure. All day everyday.

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years

      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      They miss him so much, mainly because Besic (at the moment granted he is new) is rubbish.
