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.

    I don't know if Benteke has the level of character required to play for Liverpool.

      Lol

    Bellerin owners - Keep.
    Walcott owners - sell for Aguero funds.

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years

      Walcott and Aguero here, instructions unclear 😉

  5. smemfy

    Just wanna take the time to thank Walcott and Fonte for the 1 point they managed to collectively secure today. Thanks guys.

  6. jimmy12
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Stekelenberg

    Fonte / Kos / Ivanovic / jagielka

    walcott / mane / sterling

    benteke / rooney / vardy

    any advice on who to transfer out this week? who would you go with?
    im thinking either the southampton keeper or defender after todays performance, but what about walcott? surely should start next week

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      where is your bench?

      1. jimmy12
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        this is for a different site which doesnt have subs

  7. icywrists23
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    my team is a mess but I'm not going to panic.

  8. Misunderstood Genius
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    40+ after tomorrow would be considered good going at this stage?

    1. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Very.

    2. Dr Joness
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Extremely

    3. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Top 5% round here.

  9. Geordienufc1
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I don't think I'm changing a thing for next week. I picked my team for the first few weeks, and nothing I have seen suggests that knee-jerking my non-scoring team out for the GW1 bandwagons will pay dividends.

    1. Alan Hansen's Emu
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      My man. I'm the same - nearly.

  10. No Name to Display
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Benteke will score today!

  11. Dr Joness
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I can't believe Pelle's STUPID yellow in the 93rd minute has lost his bonus points.

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Idiot

  12. GrumblyBlowfish
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    As long as Benteke does nowt I've had a tremendous week. Aguero still to play.

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Same as, bar the tremendous week part.

    2. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      3 pt loss overall? Stupid stupid stupid

      Oh well at least I didn't choose mane over him

  13. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    No idea why people think Walcott will start. Who do you think he's gonna replace with Sanchez coming back too?

    1. Home Run Baker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Giroud

    2. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Hope above sense

  14. #WinterIsNotComing
    • 11 Years

    bonus points for arsenal?

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      cech 3
      walcott 2
      arteta 1

    2. thattreblefeeling
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      not a chance

  15. st4rt__
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Why did Cedric come off btw? Don't tell me he's bloody injured?

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He was getting destroyed.

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Tactical, hot head could have been sent off.

    3. Rafabio
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Precautionary measure to avoid a second YC and ban methinks.

    4. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Nope, to stop him getting sent off.

    5. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Sound, cheers. 🙂

    6. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Kept tripping Obertan and Haidara when they were going past him. To be fair Tadic didn't give him much support. His replacement looked better defensively simply by not sticking his leg out.

  16. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Cech = signing of the season.

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      after 1 game. get out.

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Nah.

  17. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Is #WengerOut trending yet?

  18. Zombie
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I think Wilshere was the best player for Arsenal in this match

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      😎

    2. Slam
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed

  19. Teror
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Cech > Romero?

  20. The Nuttmxn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I assume all these Cech in transfers are Courtois out, would love if Ospina started next week.

  21. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Who's Oxford fighting for to start? He looks class.

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      My guess is Obiang

  22. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    40 points with Hendo and Aguero left.

    Mert + Walcott = epic fail

  23. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Not often that 34 with Agüero to go is half decent...

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      half decent? you'll be in top 10 in the world probably...

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      29 with Sterling to come for me.

    3. get_in
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      More than decent this week

    4. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      24 with Sterling left , great score

  24. nolicnosnhoj
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Drop Fabregas or Mane for Payet?

    1. Bertzeiner-m
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      fab easy

  25. Kev07
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Did anyone watch mane play today? How was he?

  26. Bertzeiner-m
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    direct swap Hazard to Alexis

  27. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Walcott to Chadli is my transfer I think...barring injuries

  28. waitinginthelonggrass
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Midfield of Payet Hazard Chadli Ayew and Wijnaldum looking tempting.

    1. get_in
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      You realise you don't get this week's points, right?

      1. waitinginthelonggrass
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        These were all considerations at the start of the season. In particular Payet no Wij who were coming with very strong stats.

  29. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Man City will end up buying Oxford for £15mil or so next season

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      350k a week

    2. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      You missed a zero there.

  30. Rafabio
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Jose passed a bounced Chec to Wenger.
