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.

    How did Oxford play, any chance Jenks loses his starting spot?

      Oxford played in midfield. Jenkinson is a RB

      Much less of a kneejerk to take a -4/-8 than to piss the WC up a wall after one bad GW

    I'm going to pretend this week never happened, just get rid of Bellerin, and treat next week as GW1...the top team players can't fail again *Touchwood*

    I know if I kneejerk I'll just regret it aha!

    Arsenal have very talented players. The manager failed to get the best out of them here.

    West Ham look set for a great season.

    To be fair.. Walcott came into the game where the dynamics changed. West Ham were up 2-0 they went defensive.. Arsenal was all over the place, back against the wall, and unorganized. Walcott didn't have the chance to get his rhythm going. It was a bad game overall.

    I think he will start next game.

      Thought Wijnaldum looked class as well today playing behind the striker, got a goal too and nearly set up a few others. Added to my watchlist.

      Chadli + Sakho for me.. Chadli was playing ahead of Kane at times though i do admit he had a poor game. Expect Spurs to do well over the next 5 fixtures and Chadli to profit though

    Sorry to be slightly rude but why is the FFS scout tweets been quite bad this time around? Last year it announced line-ups and this sort of thing, this year nothing and paddy power adverts and its hardish to find line-ups from comments.

      Not embarrassed to lose to West Ham by any means, they look great.. but it's a bad start for a team that should be challenging for the title. Can't be losing to West Ham at home.

    27 points with Kolarov and Benteke left to play. No goals, 1 assist and Courtois in team. So I should be happy I guess..
