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.

    Going to struggle to not do Walcott to Payet this week.

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

      Payet looks amazing.

      Payet good? Just watched first half here.

      1. icywrists23

        10 years, 7 months ago

        he is one of the best no. 10's in the epl

        Top, top player!

        1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Tempted.

          Hammers fixtures looking good to.

      I think I'll make the same move. There's points chasing, and there's replacing an explosive rotation risk with a nailed on, quality attacker who's involved in everything and has great fixtures!

  2. tm245
    • 14 Years

    Well done, West Ham.

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Cazorla.

    3. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      You should just transfer out all your low scoring players for all the players who did well this week

  4. icywrists23

  7. Van Klinkert Delarosa
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Pelle lost his 2 bonus.

    1. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      How much do you lose for a YC?

      1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        - 2 points.

  8. The Banter Panther
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    If Mane could pass SOT would have won 3-2 without a doubt

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

      Or score.

      1. The Banter Panther
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Touché!

    walcott against tired legs

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Should be a meme

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      *Sanchez

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

      The problem there is that it was his tired legs he was against

  10. emperikal
    • 15 Years

    Worst GW in all my years on FPL. Should have just hit auto-complete

    Don't own a Single Liverpool or Stoke Player....Next match doesn't concern me..

      You can cheer on Charlie Adam for me, if you like?

  12. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Payet is so very good.

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

      He's great

  13. Mílanista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Next week, Sanchez and Walcott in the starting lineup?

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

      Definitely Sanchez.

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

      Yeah on wildcard Sanchez first player in team. Looked lively coming on.

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Probably not Sanchez.

      Absolutely criminal that Theo didn't start today, if he doesn't start next week, I give up.

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Theo(c) coming up.

    4. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I played this game last year and it ended badly . I think it was three weeks of he will start this week etc ? .

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Different circumstances, fully fit, new contract, Wenger talking about 20 goals for him.

      2. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Also, Arsenal were already in excellent form when he returned last season. Easier to change a team after a bad defeat.

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Thanks I think making a big decision after a disappointing week would be a mistake. I am going to take a couple of days before I make a decision

    5. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Walcott was awful

    6. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure on either of them, tbh. I

  14. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Feck zero bonus for Pelle 🙁

    1. GREENDREAMS11
      • 16 Years

      ; )

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

    thats it, its all over. see you all next season

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

      Okay. *Bans this guy till end of the season*

  16. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Benteke and Aguero left. There's hope...

  17. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Arsenal deserved to lose for playing Giroud.
    Ogbonna and Reid hardly going to fear his pace.
    Mopped up everything without any trouble.
    Arsene maybe re think his striker choice now.

  18. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    This week has been an anomaly.
    Thinking it may be best to just stick with the plan and keep going. High scorers are unlikely to have teams to keep them up there so no ground's been lost really...

    ...i keep telling myself

    1. Sky Blue Sun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Hoping the same

    2. GREENDREAMS11
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      just one of those mad weeks where the normal big hitters didn't hit. The good side of it is that it has affected most people so not too much lost

  19. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Oh poppycock

  20. Skipdipper
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Walcott likely to drop in price tonight?

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

      Perhaps check the price site, cannot remember the URL ?

  21. Tomlette Greggs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    could someone link me up to that BPS website, please?

    any for Pelle?

  22. SW6
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Oh well, a Benteke brace would sort things out.

  23. waitinginthelonggrass
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone watch the Newcastle game? How did they play and did anyone stand out?

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

      They actually played pretty well, though tired late on. Still dodgy defensively to crosses and late on their midfield left the centre halves exposed. Going forward they looked decent especially on the counter with Sissoko and (ahem) Obertan. Wijnaldum finished well and had a decent shot blocked. If they can get some consistency they will be safely midtable.

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

        Cheers

    2. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Newcastle actually played pretty well. Wijnaldum with a lovely goal, and always looked dangerous. Mbemba very solid at the back. Colback probably my MOTM.

      Still got a big problem defending crosses/corners, but not a bad start at all.

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

    To be fair, Arsenal fans got hit by mother karma after all the Courtois teasing, because that was horrid.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      didn't do anything when he came on

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Dude. Did you watch the game? Arsenal were poor all over.

      1. Dynamic Duos

  28. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Payet would start at most top 4 clubs, wouldn't you say?

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

      Yep. Honestly best transfer this summer West Ham signing him.

  29. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    where are those Payet doubters..."it was in a second tier league"
