With the fall-out from Sergio Aguero’s injury reverberating around the Fantasy Football community, it’s time to distract ourselves from our return to the drawing board and resume the Gameweek action.

A pair of Premier League encounters await, with events beginning at the Boleyn Ground as Swansea City clash with West Ham. A battle of two in-form teams harbouring top six ambitions, the Hammers go into this match with just one defeat in the last eight, while the Swans’ have also suffered just one setback in their previous six league outings. Fantasy managers will of course be hoping that the 50% owned Gylfi Sigurdsson can help rescue the Gameweek with midfield returns, while Wilfried Bony will likely be auditioning as the potential Sergio Aguero replacement, once the City’s striker’s prognosis is confirmed.

Later today, Villa meet Leicester City in a midlands derby that, while bereft of Fantasy talent, could yet prove of interest with Christian Benteke now presenting an option up top. The Belgian returned to the scoresheet to earn the three points at Palace in midweek and, should he also put the Foxes to the sword, there’s little doubt that Benteke will be another name considered in the light of Aguero’s injury scare.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Is Aguero confirmed not playing for Christmas season yet? I really want to make my transfer before the price drops.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Come on.

      1. Frank Black
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        News were supposed to come out today.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          But it hasn't.

    2. Declan
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      what price drop?

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Aguero's.

    3. piquiblanco
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He'll drop regardless of the news imo.

      1. The Generalator
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        come on what?

        1. Delhidynamo
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Long way to a price drop

        2. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          If that's a response to me, I mean nothing is confirmed. Everyone would know.

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

        However his price doesn't change till, what, 3:30PM GMT If I'm correct?

    4. 4vets

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Haha

      1. Forest4Life
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Cranberry juice 😛

    5. Chambo

      ...

  3. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Austin and Agüero are out

    Best 2 forwards to replace them (one can be expensive and other a little less, pls)??

    1. Prime
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Prefer to just bench Austin this week

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Yes but I will bench Fàbregas so I get a hit and buy a forward or I use 4 defenders, is worthy??

    2. Muffinz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Sakho, Bony, Rooney. Pick 2.

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        And Costa, no??

      2. The Generalator
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        bony

    3. Retrosynth
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Just bench Austin, bring in a punt, they all are at this point! Well, Bony is performing pretty well these days.

    4. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      That's the million dollar question.

      I'd probably keep Austin if I had him but Aguero's replacement is tricky, I think the best thing to do is hope a Man Utd striker becomes an option after Monday night! If not I may go Bony, Benteke or Lukaku.

    5. Ibracadabra´s Spell
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Ok, thank you all. 🙂

  4. tyro
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Dzeko as Aguero replacement? Could be great value with City's form and fixtures.

    1. Forest4Life
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I want to get him but I like all of my strikers to be a potential captain and Dzeko is too inconsistent for that

  5. Delhidynamo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    What's the call on Kane?
    Keeping or ditching

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Nearly benteke and nearly a hutton assist

  7. Professor Abel X
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Benteke looking dangerous!

  8. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

  9. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years

  13. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I see 3 strikers to fit into the 2 striker spots for WHAM
    When they go against bigger clubs, wont Sam go with a single striker?
    With Andy healthy who will Sam opt for?

  14. Bubz
    • 12 Years

  15. The Generalator
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Fab owners, sending off will be appealed, pundits say will be successful
    no way should have been sending off

    1. mouldy_uk
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Will FPL towers recognise that in points?

      1. Towsor44
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        No, will stay -3

    2. adp1113
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      1. mouldy_uk
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        ? It was a straight red

      2. The Generalator
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        fab was sent off yes
        points will be accounted for

    3. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Looked like a straight red to me. I've heard commentators say it was too.

  16. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Bonus for WHM vs SWA confirmed?

    1. Lanley Staurel

      • 15 Years

  17. Prime
    • 13 Years
