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.

      No

    2. Hairy Potter
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Level - Newcastle struggling to defend crosses.

  2. Bøwstring The Carp

    Lovren 😆

    1. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Diouf hat trick

    2. BERGKOP

  3. Venom Snake

    Benteke could run riot against Cameron and Muniesa.

    1. Owd Big 'Ed
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He could do. Muniesa is class though.

  5. Piggs Boson
    11 years, 2 months ago

    This could be the season of the cheap midfield.

    Sanchez + Payet/Ayew/Wijnaldum/Affelay/Mahrez/Milner/Chadli

    Load up on 3 big forwards: Aguero/Rooney/Costa/Benteke/Pelle

    1. BRONALDINHO
      11 years, 2 months ago

      problem is most forwards are shite

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe. Still very early to decide that though.

    3. THE Wild Rover
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Activates wc

    4. SW6
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Writing off Hazard already?

    5. Ludo
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Erm, Hazard?

      1. Piggs Boson
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Captain material?

      2. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Blanked yesterday

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Aye, he'll probably blank for the rest of the season then.

    6. Rafabio
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I think there will be good cheap options in mid and up front. Just need to time when to mix them in with the big boys who will eventually explode.

    7. Diva
      11 years, 2 months ago

      At least I'm ahead of the game in one area then: Aguero, Benteke and Kane.

  6. BRONALDINHO
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Mitrovic great debut. Should've been a red

    1. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Joe Cole 2.0

  7. La Roja
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Mitrovic came on, and booked immediately

  8. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Giroud and Tomkins will surely have to be subbed for concussion?

    1. QPR expects... glory!
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Should BOTH be taken off. Both temporarily KO'd

  9. Captain Goodwin
    11 years, 2 months ago

    MITROGOL ON

  10. Frank Black
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I thought Giroud had been unconscious for the last 72 minutes.

  11. Geordienufc1
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Mitrovic with a yellow within 2 seconds of being on the field 😛

  12. Licky
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Kolo is Liverpool's only backup CB. 😯

    1. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Can an option

    2. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Tremendous strength in depth.

    3. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      All you need really, Kolo is a machine, had Ronaldo in his pocket last season.

      1. Licky
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I actually like Kolo, just real difficult to play alongside Skittles, that CB pairing looks God awful though.

  13. Sting
    11 years, 2 months ago

    How has Mane played?

    1. Breadbin
      11 years, 2 months ago

      2 points

    2. BRONALDINHO
      11 years, 2 months ago

    Lads I know it's fantasy but few very unsympathetic comments on here. Please refrain when it's a bad injury. We have seen where these situations can end up.

    Hope he gets up and walks off.
