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.

    Everton playing terrible ?

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

      Very unconvincing.

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

    One positive for me - through to the next round of the PP Cup

  3. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Will Cisse start next game?

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

      It's anyone's guess. May be used as an impact sub. Crap fixtures anyway.

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

      I think it's injuries and fitness stopping him always starting. Not a player for xmas, imo.

      1. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        True.

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I hope not. He scores off the bench.

  4. vballer
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Everton's central mid is fking horredous.. Besic can't tackle, doesn't make forward passes. Barry can't control, can't pass. Horrific.

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

      I love Barry

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

      and Besic made Aguero injured!!

    • 14 Years

    feeling a little better about swapping hazard for yaya this week. cannot believe aguero's injured though, at least every single person in the whole world captained him. almost.

  9. Bøwstring The Carp

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I think we need to consider a power 8 to cope with injuries, suspensions, births, marriages and alien abductions.

      1. Think Tank
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero will miss next weekends game. Surely.

    His pride will be damaged if he cries over a 1 week injury.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Replace "next weekends" with "rest of the season" i reckon. He knows some serious mischief went on there in his knee/thigh

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

        This, I fear.

  15. diabydoesgallas
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    One thing about Aguero being injured. A swap to Austin would give me over 6m to play with. Don't even know how I could spend it...

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

    Get in!!! Yaya! 😀 😀

    1. Sheep Flavour

    Elliott
    Chambers
    Fabregas
    Moses
    Austin

    WC already gone & only 1 FT. Really need to think this theough... Could be a good thing in disguise to force me to get in yaya, sanchez & rooney...

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Blimey. What's your OR as your team isn't linked.

    2. wood is good

      "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
      For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
      Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile
      This day shall gentle his condition:
      And gentlemen in England, now a-bed
      Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
      And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
      That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."

  19. Piggs Boson

    Badly need some Mirallas or Baines points second half!

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

      Clichy CS and subbed 70 mins in.

      Baines 90th min penalty won by Mirallas

      Perfect solution 😕

  20. Total Foot 5

    hows coleman looking playing as Midfielder on the right?

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

      The whole of EFC are looking like rabbits in the headlights atm.

    2. Ser Football 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Like crap

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

      The central mid is the problem. They can't hold up the ball. They misplace passes. They can't tackle. What to do?

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

        Missing McCarthy hugely.
        Barry looks totally lost without him and Besic isn't a good replacement.

    4. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      thot maybe coleman playing out of pos could be interesting ..attacking option + potential cs going forward...you think its only this gamewek or maybe going forward coleman will play as such??

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

    Clichy has been immense so far.

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

      agreed. I cant work out if Coleman has been poor or if he has marked him out of it.

    2. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      hes nailed nw every gw. u think of bring him in?

  22. HP.
    • 12 Years

    Will bps update after this game?

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Approx 1.5-2 hrs after final game on Sat

  23. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    If Aguero is out for a while is Sterling and Aguero OUT for Yaya and Dzeko a decent move for 4 points?

    1. diabydoesgallas
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Could be lucrative. But will dZeko play?

  24. TotalJustice
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    this GW is CURSED watch out for more surprises in rest matches.....

  25. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    2FT or WC.

    Missing a goalkeeper, Fabregas, Aguero, Austin.

    Just gutted I lose that transfer especially when I was looking at using it to do Krul->Pantilimon this morning.

    1. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      2FT
      Too close to Jan imo to WC now

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

      I've got all the same problems granny and wondering the same thing

      1. Think Tank
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        2FT and you'll be fine. Might need a -4 but still in a better position than most.

    3. BMox81
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Always afraid to pull the trigger on a move then lament said lack of move hey Granny!

    4. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      2FTs and you have 12 players. Don't waste the WC.

    5. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Clearly 2FT!

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

      I guess it depends on the bench. With January WC on the horizon I'd be tempted to say save the WC if you can get 11 out with 2 transfers and the bench.

    7. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Thinking the same. I did Krul to panty last night but now have Agüero Austin chambers Vlaar out and only one ft

  26. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Any early guesses about the seriousness of the kun injury?

    1. red beard
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I think he's only over stretched his ligaments. Not torn. I predict 2/3 weeks

  27. The Light Knight
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Kolarov to play midweek or next weekend?

  28. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    How many weeks does it require Aguero to miss for you to transfer him out?

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

      About 5/6

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

        Actually scrap that 2/3 ... not having all that money wasted in the bench

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

      3

    3. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      2 weeks for me.

    There goes Toure contingency plan. He won't continue this match.

  30. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Marney > Yaya Toure
    Aguero > Ings

    2FTs... What do we reckon?

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

      Check Burnley fixtures.

      1. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        There's no one else though haha.

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

      Sounds good, but unsure about Toure now. Looks to be walking a bit sheepishly.
