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.

    Well, what does this week tell us so far? Personally I wouldn't even know what to do if I were to get a free wild card for next week.

    Gomez starts! Feel like wildcarding.. Need Oxford, Gomez, Mahrez and Payet! Anyone else?

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years

      4 teams yet to play and you'll want 5 different lads next week, don't panic

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

        Even if I have Schmeichel, Huth, Cedric, O'shea, Ritchie, Mane, Saylor, Ozil, Cazorla? Think I have no choice!

      Rambo consolation with Ozil assist would do

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Its pretty safe. Enjoy!

  5. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Benteke attacking returns along with points from Aguero/Sterking/Silva will be enough to make me push the Wildcard button! 😆

  6. BRONALDINHO
    • 11 Years

    Siem De Jong is now on

  7. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years

    Crikey. Arsenal look awful.

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

    Grr really undecided by Mane but squeezed him in due to many suggestions that he was far better pick than Tadic!

    Ah well

    1. bacary lasagna
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Of course, tell yourself your decision is someone else's fault

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

        Of course I'm not blaming any one else I took the suggestions on board it was my decision as was to pick Mahrez!

        I was just undecided on the issue and opted for him due to many suggestions it was worth it

    2. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I get where you're coming from, but you make your own decisions. Or should do, in the end.

    3. BellsOfFreedom

      lol, he still is a better prospect

    4. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years

      Lol

  10. Gunners n' Roses
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    The best 15 man-team on points currently costs only 81.5 million. One reason people haven't got big points is NOBODY would select a team that cheap.

    Bad week for big players.

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

    Come on Sakho

  12. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    I didn't like Manè in the first place...i have no idea why i put him in my team, honestly.

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      So much this

    2. arthadox

      1. Frank Black
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Exactly, it's not even been 90 minutes and i'm already depressed by him.

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

        Is that what you get after drinking Heineken?

    6. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Mane's a great pick. Give him time

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

      because lots of others did and u like many others have no independent thought

      1. Frank Black
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Mmmh no, it's not because of that, i just didn't want Ki against Chelsea(turned out to be a good move that one) and i had to put another big MF while keeping Sakho upfront.

  13. Ninja Škrtel

    people here are hysterical for no reason..this is only GW1..this game is dynamic as hell..relax..the points will come..no need to panic.

      1. Ninja Škrtel
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        you'll regret replacing players only after 1GW because some newbie made an assist...

    2. super zlatan

    sanchez has been the best player for arsenal in 10 minutes

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

      Fancy Arsenal's best player being Arsenal's best player.

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

      Because he runs around a lot and fouls?

      Ox has been the best so far in this game.

  15. HVT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Cisse 3 / Pelle 2 / long 1 as it stands.

      • 12 Years

      c'mon Pelle!

  16. jimbobmij
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    1. bar low tell me
      • 11 Years

    2. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A danger to himself.

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

      So he doesn;t receive a red card?

    4. Gravless wonder
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He was booked and on final warning after several fouls

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

    Mane could make way for payet or ayew in my team

  18. Keno
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Can't believe I just activated my WC but at-least we get 2 this year.

    Any other Oxford owners? 🙂

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Is he likely to keep starting do you think? At 16 I'd imagine he's rotation material.

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

        Not sure what's going on with Obiang to be honest.

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

      Great pick if he keeps his place. On for a BP last time I looked.

    2. Captain Goodwin
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago
