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.

    Wenger had a stinker today.

    Said before game if he drops Walcott its awful man management.
    After WBA hat trick, cup final goal, community shield assist.
    All 3 wins, finally beat Mourinho, trophy in the bag.
    Theo then handed big money new contract, must've been eager to get goals.

    But no, the donkey starts, does nothing and Walcott gets on at 0-2 when a bus is getting parked rendering his pace useless. Change a winning team and a performing player, get beat at home, awful decision all round.

            Yep. No pace in the attack. With sanchez out that was blatant.
            Had to start with walcott if he's out. Oziland Giroud hardly unpredictable players

      Worst of all was playing Cazorla on the left. Tomkins at right back, so attack him with pace. 12 year olds on FIFA understand this concept.

      Also taking Cazorla out from the middle for Ramsey who is completely ineffective.

          Was the deepest when Coq was subbed. Coq was bad because he had to increase the distance of his distribution because Ramsey doesn't stay as close as Cazorla does.

          Cazorla-Coq had been the basis of our midfield success, and he splits it up...

          No not at all lots of differentials scoring this gw but I see a few actually doing decent ie cabaye wijnaldum ayew Payet shelvey(played wayyyy better than he scored) oscar and ofc mahrez but so I think there are better options than mahrez

          Mahrez however is in the whole with two strikers up front so he will have lots of shots at the top of the box and passes to the strikers. If he can nail down pens i will probably stick with him but I don't think he should be the person to go to if u have 7.0
