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.

    I want to point out that while we all look forward to these double gameweeks, it can come at a cost, especially for the clubs playing in Euripe. We anticipate many goals and assists but sometimes we fail to weigh the physical toll put on these athletes.

    3 out of 7 games ending 0-0 may be indicative being drained or worn out after 3 games in 1 week.

    If you watched Sanchez today he looked incredibly weary today. He wasn't making his usual runs off the ball. His miss was just a last second lapse in concentration most likely due to fatigue.

    Although, San(c)hez didn't turn out so bad after all, I honestly feel for Aguero owners and captainers. I rather be behind the couch every week he plays than to see him go down like that in tears. Thinking about how Aguero went down without being touched, just proved that his knee completely gave out on him. These are by far the worst injuries.

    Baines. ADM. Rooney. Aguero. Jovetic. Kompany along with others all come to mind.

    Its no coincidence that all these bodies are showing clear signs of wear and tear. What a terrible week indeed.

      You can add Chelsea loss to that mix as well.

    with rotation and injuries such a lottery, should there be a rule where if a player only features for say 10 mins or less then he is not counted if others in the squad play for longer? nothing worse than a player coming on for three mins at the end of the game. except aguero getting injured of course.

    1. get_in
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      And what if they score?

      does it really matter? wasn't differentials that were injured or suspended today. if you want to blame someone blame the fa for the ridiculous fixture list.theres going to be way more tears on the way.

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

    How many weeks does it require Aguero to miss to warrant a transfer?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say more than 2

  8. Captain Shirokov

  9. Arsenal Deli
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Oh well. Fantasy football and Arsenal can no longer keep putting me on a downer for today, as my £20 free bet on Yaya to score 1st pocketed me £140. Bit happier now 🙂

    1. Sponge-worthy

      Nice!

  10. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

    Guzan (Elliot)
    Naylor, Bertie, Baines (Wisdom - Duff)
    Hazard, Sig, Yaya, Sanchez, Downing
    Costa, Bony (4.9...)

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

    Replacements for Aguero?

    Tekkers and Lukaku are the only ones I can think of.

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Rooney

    2. Arse Craic
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Roon Pig

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Jovetic or dzeko

  16. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Aguero's tenacity is why he got injured. He was fighting for the ball taht got away from him and overstretched it placing all his weight on the knee.

    This GW brings out the reality of fantasy football.

    It's so much about luck.

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      yet many will still argue it's skill

    2. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Always has been, always will be.

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

      True to a degree. BUT, every season the same folk top our mini-leagues. There's some luck, but over the season, you need to know your stuff.

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

    Any chance of Aguero 3 baps?

  19. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Woooow just tuned into the match. WTF KUN?!

    My captain luck this year is actually laughable

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

  21. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Yes or No

    Aguero Boyd Baines --> Costa Yaya Revillere (-4)

    Note -Sunderland really good fixtures until new year

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

    God forbid Kun is out for a long time, which would be your most preferred transfer

    A. Kun + Chadli - Yaya + Lukaku

    B. Kun + Chadli - Sanchez + Bony

    PS: Got Coleman, Siggy.

    1. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    For some reason the yaya goal sealed this game week up for me in terms of the trollage.

  24. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    For how many games was N.Taylor suspended, and what about Austin, dont think i will have 11 players next week....

    1. Arse Craic
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Naylor will be back next week

      1. Arse Craic
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Austin misses the next one

      2. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Why is Naylor still in red if i wanna pick him for my next week team then?

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

      I'm holding off for now whilst I wait for news on Kun, that will free up funds for someone different
