Gameweek 22 begins belatedly with a batch of six three o’clock encounters before Southampton’s visit to Newcastle brings the day to a close.

Fantasy managers will be concentrating their efforts on events in South Wales, where leaders Chelsea take on Swansea, and down at White Hart Lane, where Mauricio Pochettino’s rejuvenated Tottenham unit face Sunderland.

Harry Kane tops our Captain Poll, just ahead of Man City’s returning striker, Sergio Aguero. The Spurs hitman will look to extend a run of form that’s brought him six goals and three assists in as many league outings, backed by an army of new Fantasy Premier League (FPL) owners.

At the Liberty, Chelsea’s Eden Hazard and Diego Costa command a weighty ownership of their own, although with Aguero’s return, the latter has it all to do to maintain his current 59% level: a goal or two against Swansea would help his cause.

Elsewhere, Burnley’s Danny Ings will look to maintain his run of returns as Alan Pardew rolls up to Turf Moor with Palace. Liverpool, with Steven Gerrard out of the squad through injury, drop in on goal-shy Villa, while Leicester City host Stoke at the King Power. Down in Shepherds Bush, Louis van Gaal’s United go on the hunt for points at Loftus Road, as Charlie Austin looks to regain his London scoring boots to keep his place atop the FPL forward rankings, having blanked in the last two on home turf.

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

    Heaton is my goalkeeper. A Burnley player is my goalkeeper.

  5. Coaly

    Went for Chadli over Puncheon 🙁

    1. Lucy.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Ditto. That was the one tight decision I had and I got it wrong.

      1. Coaly
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Was really tempted by Puncheon but as I only planned it for 2 weeks (then get Siggy back), Chadlis fixtures were better

        Puncheon was my #1 punt though

      2. Ludo
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Much too soon to say that. Would have gone Puncheon, but for the fact that there are other options in Chadli's price range, and none in Puncheon's.

        11 years, 9 months ago

        According to sky sports he should be off, already on a yellow

      2. Jax
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Should have been sent off

  17. Cheggers v2

    Sorry all, got Kane in this week and captained him

    1. Evs

      Not to worry Alan.

  18. SW6

      Champions in January? LOL

    Selling Costa for Kun is a long term move. Selling Costa because having him and Kun destroys your team is a long term move. He is still an 11.2m player I am not comfortable captaining. The goals were gifts nothing more. It won't happen every week. Chill.

    1. Rambo Motin
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I got both and my team is wonderful

    2. Lucy.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I don't think having both has destroyed my team... Terry, Clyne, Silva, Sanchez and Hazard all in there.

      1. Woy
        11 years, 9 months ago

        +1

        1. Lucy.
          11 years, 9 months ago

          But I didn't make the mighty Puncheon call. Bottled it.

        Maybe your TV is very high. It isn't the case for most.

        1. Lucy.
          11 years, 9 months ago

          See Kerz post below.

      3. Stats Don\'t Lie
        11 years, 9 months ago

        +1. He's just mad he don't have costa

    3. Fred54
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Also have both. Almost decided to go down the Puncheon route insted of Chadli but security and all.

    4. Kerz
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Your second sentence isn't true. The Costa + Kun template is very balanced.

      Foster Myhill
      Terry Clyne PvA Wisdom Hutton
      Silva Hazard Alexis Chadli Boyd
      Costa Aguero Kane

      1. Lucy.
        11 years, 9 months ago

        That's pretty close to my team. Templates are templates for a reason.

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Both here too and feeling happy about it.Costa will be top scorer at the end of the season.

    Christ Wasilewski, all you have to do is not get booked again.

      A BIG this ^

    11 years, 9 months ago

    I played Heaton over Krul.

    1. Jax
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Krul could do worse

  24. The_Kane_Train
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Kane is looking dangerous!

  25. Moin

    I want to start a twitter trend #PlayRooneyForward

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 9 months ago

      LvG would play him at full back to prove a point.

  26. fedolefan
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Great defending by Rooney. Yup.

  27. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Even an assist for Kane would be awesome.

  28. Billy Gilmore
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Sanchez kicks Sterling in the face. Ouch

  29. Nobodinho
