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. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Meh. He's definitely the best but don't really wanna be doing that haha.

    3. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      slim pickings in that price range

    4. Zombie

    Have thought this for a while, now probably a better time than ever to say it.
    Each week it seems to me that 90% of the forum are either celebrating their great week or bemoaning an awful week. With so many people in the same boat I often see a player complaining about a score in the 40s when the average that week was 38 or celebrating their 65 when a template team that all the top 100k have will have scored 70+.
    There’s a lot of bemoaning the template. Would be nice to see people celebrating the masterminding of bringing Yun in this week for a clean sheet or something similar that’s given them the grand total of 30 odd that’ll be in the top 10% for today. Just coz 64 is what you aim to average each week it doesn’t meaning getting less than that leads to red arrows.
    Ready to get some hate for this, just seems to me that we put so much time and thought into building our team but very little in assessing it.

      Double West Brom at the back today has made me as happy an any FPL thing this season.

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

      I brought Caulker in.. Yay for me, (shoulda saved the money with Yun tho)

    3. rdpx
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I have YAYA + FOSTER + WISDOM

      hell yeah.

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

      I did indeed start Yun this week, but I'm containing my joy for now following my captain playing 6 minutes.

      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      But having a bad week when the average is 30 does a lot less damage overall than having a bad week when the average is 75.

    6. supperspout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      but yeah sometimes these spanners in the works that effect the majority can bring out the better FPLer's as they make better more informered/wiser transfers/decisions. So its not necessarily a bad thing to have an unfortunate gameweek like this from an overall longterm rank perspective

    7. BRONALDINHO
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      well, can't really feel happy that I brought in Caulker this week when the rest of my team scored a total of 11 points and I might not even be able to field 11 players next week without a hit = moaning time

  5. Retrosynth
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I miss Suarez

    1. A Defender's Nightmare

  6. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

  7. Lloyd Xmas

    1. Lloyd Xmas

  14. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years

    Yaya doesnt do injuries.

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Exactly.

      Yaya will carry on with stuff that Aguero will ask to be subbed for.

      1. Lloyd Xmas
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Harsh.

  15. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Chambers owners dumping or benching for nx week?.

    1. New Ghost
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      benching. other fish to fry

    2. Lloyd Xmas
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      dumping for Hutton

    3. A Defender's Nightmare
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Gone for me.

    4. RyanC
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Benching, but dumping eventually. More urgent matters, like Aguero.

    5. Mota
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Benching

    6. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on how many more players get injured/suspended.

    7. Retrosynth
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Too many other concerns.

    8. Proggy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'm benching. I have Chadli, Dummett and possibly Agüero to get rid of.

    9. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Dumping. Going to lose his place anyway

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

      Depends on Aguero news and his price drops

    11. matpower_
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not an owner but I'd dump with Debuchy apparently ready for Tuesday he should get his place back by the weekend and Chambers will be struggling to get back in the team when hes back from his ban (Koscielny was back on the bench today too so he won't go to CB either)

    12. Hibbopotamus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I dumped before Kun even went down because I'm a moron. That said I don't think he's nailed for when he returns

  16. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    *Looks up Lampard's price*

    😀

  17. Jimmers

  18. Caesar, Hot Mustache
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Yaya injured. lool! could this get any worse?

    Dzeko it would be then

  19. McSauce
    • 16 Years

    Ramsay time!

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

      Ramsey*

  20. sttewwizza
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Most "glass" team from current players in Premier league...

    GK

    Evans - Jose Enrique - Ferdinand - Ryan Taylor

    Walcott - Diaby - Silva

    Carroll - Aguero- Sturridge

    When these guys injured, they need minimum 5 weeks to recover.... Diaby and R.Taylor minimum few years... If you remember someone else...

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Jack Wheelchair not in there? 😯

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

        you are right.. forgot on him totally...

    2. Kalix
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Jack Wilshere

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

        He's missed more games for Arsenal than he's played.

      2. sttewwizza
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        ooops ... totally forgot on him... thanks ... 🙂

    3. Tangerine Army XI
      • 15 Years

      Shame Kirkland isn't in the prem

    4. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Jamie "My Dad" Redknapp for the bench? (As normal)

    5. Sacked in the Morning
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      You're missing Wishere and Gibbs

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

      Silva > Wilshere

  21. JayBomb
    • 14 Years

    Yaya found his head !

  22. Kalix
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    2 red cards and an 6 min appearance from my captain.

    Lots in the same boat I imagine!

    4. Kalix

      Thank god i saved my transfer this week, team gonna need some surgery 😛

  23. Gimli son of Gloin
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Nothing much up with Yaya. I'd say he wanted a breather to be honest.

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

    Yaya dead

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

      Long live Yaya.

  25. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Chester trolling me with his points as 3rd sub.

    He does that quite often and yet I never think to pick him.

    Serves him right for being so cheeky.

  26. Edmond
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Thie next few weeks might just shape up this entire season. Template options breaking, time for some differentials.

  27. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Lampard on pens if Yaya comes off ?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Probably.

  28. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hart down.

  29. Redhulkster
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    A week arrives when the template is jolted...

    Happens many times..generally even rotation does it

    This is that week

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Cant be arsed this week! 😆

  30. Sheep Flavour
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    As much as Man City have had the luck (Bar Aurego) with not being down to 10 men and having an easy pen, EFC really havent forced the issue with a weak Man City (which still cost a lot!)

    Ticky Tacka football is lovely...but you also need a plan B, Bobby.
