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.

    Cheers Bellerin on your injury. Enter Cedric..

    Use wildcard this week vs create new team

    Got 21 points this week, is it really worth losing a wildcard?

    1. Debauchy
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Nope , stay calm

    2. arthadox
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Wait until all games have been completed, then take judgement.

      Good question. You lose your history.

      1. Mary
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I'm ashamed of my history

    4. chrisjdgrady
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No. See what happens next week. Could be a completely different picture.

  3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Ox looking really lively! The best value on Arsenals midfield the first 30 mins.

  4. Royal5
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Gotta love fpl. All the Cedric hate a few pages ago 🙂

    1. Mary

      this is what i mean!!!

    Southampton look dodgy at the back

    1. Somalion
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No Clasie so I expected it really.

      Need another CB.

  6. Bøwstring The Carp

    Walcott ---> Memphis on the cards here

    1. Ludo
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Memphis? He impress you yesterday, or is it just a general pick?

      1. @ocprodigy

        I think people are forgetting United played Spurs yesterday - never gonna be an easy game.

        1. Ludo
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Hmm fair enough!

      2. Bøwstring The Carp
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Looked lively and forward.

        I think for a first game it was poor from United but with set pieces and a free role he should come good now in United's easier fixtures (I hope)

        1. Somalion
          11 years, 2 months ago

          I'd rather him on the wing tbh. Don't like him at CAM at all, and think LVG is mental to play him there.

      3. #WinterIsNotComing
        11 years, 2 months ago

        It was his first game in epl.. give him 2-3 games.

      4. La Décima Chaser
        11 years, 2 months ago

        My thoughts exactly! I like Depay and his potential but he didn't show me he was a brilliant FPL prospect yesterday. Away to Villa may be the factor though!

  7. shivamutd
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Come on pelle a hat trick would save this GW

    1. #WinterIsNotComing
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Mine too...

    2. Mary
      11 years, 2 months ago

      A hattrick would ruin my life.

  8. Somalion
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Well done Adrian lad

  9. Norb
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsey hit the bar

    1. Norb
      11 years, 2 months ago

      *Would have been an own goal

  10. Sánchez
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal have no threat when pace of sanchez and walcott is missing

  11. TheSteel
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Quit playing Wenger. Get wally in at half 😀

  12. Our Man Charlie
    11 years, 2 months ago

    great save adrian

  13. chrisjdgrady
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Walcott gonna come on and score and Wenger is gonna realize how stupid it is not to start him. I know this!!

    1. Somalion
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Or it will confirm to him his value as a super sub.

      1. Hamstergod
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 2 months ago

        that's the more likely option

    2. Long Juan Silva
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Walcott can't play as a striker. Nothing 'stupid' about it.

      1. chrisjdgrady
        11 years, 2 months ago

        He can play as a winger...

        1. Long Juan Silva
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Ox is playing well. Sanchez nearly fit. If he plays anywhere it will be up front.

    3. Debauchy
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Its a 90 min game . How do you know if he would have scored early ? Makes no sense, sorry

      1. chrisjdgrady
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Been one of the most in form players for us since the end of last season and through pre season. What has Ramsey done lately?

        1. Debauchy
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah agree. But if he comes on late and gets the winner , thats all we want . Also have him in FPL btw

    4. Not My Real Name
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Are you watching the game? Chamberlain's showing exactly why he's in the team ahead of him!

      1. chrisjdgrady
        11 years, 2 months ago

        They can play together

        1. Not My Real Name
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Not unless Walcott's up top, maybe 1/3rd of the games

  14. Long Juan Silva
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Any price change sites working?

    1. Ludo
      11 years, 2 months ago

      We don't know yet, there haven't been any...

    2. Billy Gilmore
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Nobody knows.

    3. Jay_
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Fpl stats is running but early days won't be accurate until about a week

    4. ihateramsey2
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez rising tonight?

    5. Concrete
      11 years, 2 months ago

      FPL stats

    6. stevie
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Fiso is up and running but wont know it's working right untill changes happen

    7. Jernau M Gurgeh
      11 years, 2 months ago

      fiso crack the code

    8. Long Juan Silva
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers all

  15. Seb Wassell
    11 years, 2 months ago

    As much as Cedric put in a lovely cross for that goal, he has been rubbish defensively. Slightly worried that will result in him not being nailed on.

    1. Wouter
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Who have they got to play there instead of him?

      1. arthadox
        11 years, 2 months ago

        No better options than him, he will get better... A new signing of course will play a little bit bad.

    2. Tallahassee
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Let him settle a bit!

    3. Royal5
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Works fine for Ivanovic.

    4. Seb Wassell
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Cuco Martina would be the alternative I suppose

  16. Declan
    11 years, 2 months ago

    High ball after high ball into the box, easy for Wham to deal with 🙁

  17. Captain Goodwin
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Saints handball in the box but no penalty

    1. Wouter
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Was a shoulder/armpit.

  18. The Mandalorian
    11 years, 2 months ago

    End to end football at the Emirates

  19. heylo
    11 years, 2 months ago

    So if a player comes off at 59 mins, they get 2nd minutes point? Or do they have to make it to 60

  20. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal bossing West ham really.

  21. Baby Cuties
    11 years, 2 months ago

    waheeeeyyy!!!

    Those who celebrate their first fpl goal of the season now, come and have a congratulatory cuddle with me!!!!

    Well done pelle

  22. Rafabio
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Surely Wenger won't drop Ox. Who will sit?!! Wally and Sanchez available still. Mercy.

  23. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    11 years, 2 months ago

    How's Targett doing?

    1. Rafabio
      11 years, 2 months ago

      CS still intact. Not much else.

    2. stevie
      11 years, 2 months ago

      he's on the park - what more can we ask of a 4.0 🙂

      (I got him too)

  24. icywrists23
    11 years, 2 months ago

    why isn't walcott starting. thats a huge direspect to him after signing a new contract

    1. TheSteel
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No its not

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Because he will only get injured if he plays. This way he won't.

  25. El Berbossa - \\\"El b…
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Mane does not look threatening at ALL.

    1. Jay_
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Counter attack with Newcastle chasing game 2nd half he will be a menace

    2. Wakka Wakkas
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Biggest bust this season. People buying him for 8.0 are really mad. For 8.5 more you have PROVEN studs.

    3. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      11 years, 2 months ago

      At ALL

  26. Mary
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Creating a team GW2

    Does this mean I get unlimited transfers until the deadline?

    1. ihateramsey2
      11 years, 2 months ago

      yes. we all should have done that

    2. LMNO
      11 years, 2 months ago

      yes

  27. Duke Silver ☑
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Who will drop out when Sanchez is fully fit for Arsenal?

    1. Declan
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Ox I'd imagine

      1. @ocprodigy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Surely not.

    2. Not My Real Name
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Rotation from game to game. Sanchez and Ozil will play every game, rotation beyond that.

  28. Nicks93
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Just woke up, what happened to bellerin?

    1. Declan
      11 years, 2 months ago

      thigh strain

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He's injured back for next week

    3. TheSteel
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Slight injury

    4. stevie
      11 years, 2 months ago

      farted on the team bus - so he's been disowned

    5. Mary
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No idea, everyone is crying about him not playing, pretty sure he picked up an injury

    6. Nicks93
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks guys, feared debuchy was just 1st choice now

  29. faux_C
