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.

    Horrendous decision making by Vargas.

    Frustrating not having Costa
    But would have to dismantle my team in order to have him in.
    The high ownership in the game is a killer though

      So rare for Chelsea to score 4 though. It's not Mourinhos way

    I'm scouting Eljero Elia for my team tonight. 5.5m and Mané out for a few weeks. Interesting.

    1. Jimbo123
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Looked vey ordinary last week, but I gather he hasn't played much recently and Koeman seems to think he has talent

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He hadn't played for 4-6 weeks.

      Thoughts on JWP as 5th mid ? 🙂

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Not nailed on when Schneiderlin and Wanyama are fit. Davis is popular with Koeman.

        1. Santi sensei
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Oh thanks. Elia should be the one then ? 😉
