All eyes will be on Arsenal this afternoon, with the Gunners travelling to Old Trafford in the first of their double Gameweek fixtures. Meanwhile, Man City look to strengthen their hold on second place when they lock horns with Swansea at the Liberty in the earlier lunchtime kick off.

Swansea face a tough task trying to contain the league’s form forward, Sergio Aguero, when the Sky Blues pay a visit. The Argentinian marksman boasts eight goals in five starts for City, having registered a hat-trick and two assists last time out. David Silva has also delivered strong Fantasy returns in recent weeks, notching one goal and three assists in his last two starts. However, Garry Monk’s may just have an ace of their own up their sleeves, with leading striker Bafetimbi Gomis scoring a dramatic late winner on his return from injury against Arsenal. The former Lyon marksman tallied four goals in as many appearances and will threaten a City defence seeking their fourth shut-out in five Gameweeks.

Manchester United recovered from a three-match losing streak last weekend, recording a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Juan Mata (four goals in seven) and Marouane Fellaini (three goals in eight) account for the Red Devils’ only two goals in the past four Gameweeks, in light of Wayne Rooney failing to net in five. Olivier Giroud is experiencing a similar downturn in form for visitors Arsenal – having drawn blanks in four consecutive matches; Alexis Sanchez has partly compensated for Giroud’s demise, with three goals in five starts. Meanwhile, Aaron Ramsey has been the North Londoners’ most consistent player of late, delivering attacking returns in four of his previous seven outings. The Welshman is a slight injury doubt going into today’s encounter, with Fantasy managers eagerly anticipating Arsene Wenger’s teatime teamsheet.

      Benched Silva for Sterling. Heart ruled head

  2. Jax

    yaya

    1. Fred54

      Nein.

  3. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    mata in for sterling! -4?

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      nope

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        y?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Sterling is due

          1. Jax
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            lol

            1. Jonny Sutt
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              ive been saying that for 5 weeks!

          2. BeachBadger
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            😆

        2. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          like Wild Rover said below. If its just for one game you need Mata to deliver simply to break even. If sterling scores you need a goal and an assist from Mata just to break even

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      No. Very few moves are worth a hit for one game

    3. Optimus.
      • 14 Years

      what was your FT?

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        jag to kolorov?

        i have ivan and bellerin

        other defenders bruce and pva

  4. meerlight

    nice cricket reference in the commentary...

    1. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 12 Years

      The 1st slip one? 😛

  5. The Raging Bull
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    yaya bandwagon!

    1. Jonny Sutt
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      that guy is way overpriced!

    2. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Must have gotten several cakes...

  6. MMN
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Needed Sanchez, sold Silva & kept Hazard due to that fact that it was easier to get Silva back next week as apposed to getting Hazard back. 🙁

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Hazard hasnt played yet. Its just an assist.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Cool kids have all 3

      1. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        😎 no mane though 😆

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          😆

    3. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      MIght prove the right move yet

  7. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Given Yaya not played for the last 3 weeks, his ownership in the top 10k must be miniscule

  8. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I sold Silva for Sanchez & kept Hazard.

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      sanchez could beat his score anyway

    2. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Again it might still prove to be the right move yet

    3. Optimus.
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I didn't

      1. A Defender's Nightmare

    I would just love one Super Sunday where instead of half time analysis they read through random comments from on here at key moments.

    Sky...make it so

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Imagine Sky reading out Bemba's or Daniel's comments..

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

      2. Fred54
        • 10 Years

        The Machine would have more charisma than Henry...literally.

    2. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      And a comment from Bemba again 'Aguero Captain fail'

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I've said it for years. I have no idea why they don't involve fans more instead of some droning old ex pro.

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

  14. FPL Notebook (John)
    • 12 Years

    Silva looking very dangerous 😀

  15. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Plan was always for me to sell silva for arsenal mid.
    Instead I sold hendo for Cazorla -4 😎

  16. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Silva needs to shoot much more, poor kid always passes. Be greedy sometimes son, gets you far in life

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      How many goals does he have again?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        10? I'm just saying. He could have a few more if he shoots more, he's that good

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Yes, wonderful player. One of the few world class players in the Premier League.

      2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

    What are your first opinions on: Coutinho + Kane --> Bolasie + Benteke (-4)

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Who do Palace play?

      1. MMN
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        (SWA)

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Yay from me.

    2. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Benteke could be rested now Villa are safe. Even if he's not, i'm sure Villa will have one eye on the final.

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Why do players need a rest 6 days before playing another game?

        1. Drip Doctor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Risk of getting injured?

    3. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Palace are a lottery. At least with Villa its usually Tekkers.

    4. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Your bringing in a striker for -4 and he could be rested for the cup now they are safe. I'm thinking of getting rid.

    5. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Tnx guys, seems like most of you say no to this one, except you berb (way shorter :D)

  18. Jay_
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Will be disappointed if no more attacking points from Silva or Kolarov come here they are threatening a lot

    • Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Milner at Liverpool could be a bargain pick next season.

      1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        3 bps everyweek

      2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Rodgers will bench him or play him as sweeper probably

      3. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yep.

        1. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
