After yesterday’s disappointing start, many Fantasy managers will be looking for some of Sunday’s heavy hitters to come to the rescue.

A couple of 1.30pm kick-offs get us underway. Community Shield winners Arsenal welcome West Ham to the Emirates before Steven McClaren takes charge of Newcastle for the first time in the top-flight as in-form Southampton roll up to St James’ Park.

Stoke play host to big-spending Liverpool in the late kick-off, with Brendan Rodgers’ side looking to immediately avenge their 6-1 mauling at the Britannia in the final league fixture of 2014/15.

    Is Cedric likely to play next week?

    1. Nicks93
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Yeah.

    3. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      No.

      Wat happened to Cedric subbed off ??? Maybe as he had a yc ???

    5. Carcaju
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Was he playing well? It's a bit strange that Koeman took him out just because of a yellow card...

    All the big guns out there for arsenal at once, bad pun. Sorry.

  4. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    I can't believe I got talked out of captaining Albrighton, and playing Romero, Layun, Zarate, Kone. I should've gone with my gut

    1. amol
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Had all of them in my final draft..but I took them out

    2. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years

      Lolz

    3. Tiote on Peyote
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I know man, someone told me not to captain Mahrez and not to put Darmian in my team. It's all their fault.

    4. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Layun and kone were in pretty much every rmt here all summer, you should have paid attention

  5. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Guys still think Aguero won't play?

    1. Declan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I hope so

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Aye.

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      What do we REALLY ever know?

    4. arthadox
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He won't IMO...

    5. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I think he will

    6. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      The same as Sanchez

    7. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure.

    8. Pinky and Brain
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He will play but won't start

    9. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Sub , maybe

    10. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I think it will be the same situation as we saw today wit Sanchez. Will not start but if they really need him he'll come in.

      1. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        The way I see it is that Chelsea and Arsenal failing give City a chance to get some points up and as we see with Arsenal they can't break them down and left it late to get the lads on

        Pulis is well capable of setting up a solid defensive unit

        Just my 2c

  6. Nicks93
    • 12 Years

  10. Breadbin
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Out: Players that didn't score or assist.
    In: Players that scored or assisted.

    No brainer right?

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Yep.

    2. Gorgles
      • 11 Years

    3. Ziro Becomes One
      • 11 Years

      So 0-5-5 ???

    4. PSEBJ27
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      No, out, players that didn't play, in, players that actually play

    5. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Straight up.

  11. Canadian Football
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    What happened to Cedric?

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Was on a yellow, and getting ripped to shreds so he was subbed off before being sent off

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Crap defending and a liability due to yellow card. Saints defnse looks pOOR

    3. FantasyFootballNerd
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Subbed off for Martina for an unbeknown reason. Hopefully it will clearer post-match.

    1. Dormer
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Knight of the Realm, Sir Steven Taylor looks to be coming on, yes.

  15. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    After all the Ozil bashing on here I hope he scores. No assist would be nice 😆

  16. fordy049

    1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Obiang I think but at this stage who knows. This is all very enjoyable right about now.

  17. Davido989

        1. Clintymints
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

    Oxford. Looks good.

    1. tokara
      • 11 Years

  19. KingNidge
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    one sanchez goal and the hazard exodus will be frightening

  20. PSEBJ27
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    I was so depressed with Rooney's five points, little did I know it would be the most I'd get from a player in my team

    1. Gorgles
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      haha him and Vardy for me

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah , oh yeah

    3. Philmatic
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Mahrez :). Makes us for the minuses from Courtois and Coates

  21. SweeSwee
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Arsenal's shirts look a couple of inches too small around the chest. Maybe that's the problem today.

  22. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero to start tmrw and save this gw(and put the final nail in the WC coffin for some 🙂 )

    1. chris_webs23
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I hope so!

      1. chris_webs23
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        And Benteke today 🙂

  23. Malcolm Tucker for England …

    Arsenal need a signing to get them going. A world class centre forward with Premier experience.
    A man who can fit in anywhere and be the main man...

    all aboard....The Bendy Bus

  24. FantasyFootballNerd
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Wijnaldum's heatmap and stats are very good. Like the way he drops deep to get the ball to create something. More of a passer than a dribbler, unlike Depay. 100% pass accuracy.

    1. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Shame about the fixtures. GW9 another story however...

  25. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Who's this "Dog's Bollocks" bloke at the back for West Ham? He certainly looks it....

  26. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    I'm injured ... 🙁

  27. Licky
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Cech doesn't even have save points... 🙄

  28. Judeksi
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    WC with 3 WHU players looks much better right now especially with the upcoming fixtures.. tempting..

  29. A-VB
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Looks like Cedric Soares is not nailed at all..
    Thoughts lads ?

    1. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Why ?

    2. parkerdip
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He started and got a yellow card. Precaution so he doesnt get a red

  30. Jay Jay Okocha
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Can we please agree to stop talking about new signings needing 'time to adjust' to the EPL? So tired of that BS

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      You mean like Richie and Lens. It's not BS.
