Next up this Saturday, there are five 3pm kick-offs to keep us entertained.

Burnley welcome Liverpool to Turf Moor as Philippe Coutinho looks to add to the two-goal haul that earned him in excess of 400,000 Fantasy Premier League transfers in last week. Sadio Mane misses out for the Merseysiders with a shoulder problem, allowing Daniel Sturridge to return to the XI. James Milner comes in for Alberto Moreno at left-back.

Swansea host Hull at the Liberty, with both sides hoping to build on Gameweek 1 victories. This one looks like being a battle of the dead-ball specialists – Gylfi Sigurdsson returns to the Swans’ XI, though the Tigers have a form playmaker of their own, after Robert Snodgrass fired home the winner against Leicester last Saturday lunchtime.

Harry Kane owners will be anxiously hoping he can banish his poor run of form without Mousa Dembele in the Spurs XI as Palace roll up to the Lane. Those holding Dele Alli have been dealt a bitter blow after he dropped to the bench to accomomodate new boy Vincent Jansssen.

Chelsea’s trip to Vicarage Road give Eden Hazard another opportunity to stake a claim for a place in our squads. With spot-kick duties back on side, another strong showing against Watford could make the Belgian irresistible. Willian misses out with a calf complaint for the Blues, allowing Pedro to start on the right.

At the Hawthorns, Tony Pulis has rolled out an unchanged XI for the visit of Everton. Ronald Koeman has named new boys Ashley Williams and Yannick Bolasie on the bench, with Romelu Lukaku also amongst the subs after shrugging off a heel problem.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    1. piquiblanco
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Same. I'm glad I have more time to think about this, was worried I'd have to make a decision tonight.

  14. TheSteel
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Your defence is terrifed, Andre's on fire

  15. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Burnley wont play Pool every week.

    1. EDEN THE MAN
      10 years, 2 months ago

  16. F_Ivanovic
    10 years, 2 months ago

    lol @ Gray sellers.

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You really are pathetic. Time to grow up, kid.

      1. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Time for you to lighten up I think.

      2. ChristoBisto
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Just sold him?

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I never had him but these posts are irritating.

      3. F_Ivanovic
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah as above, need to lighten up. I never post stuff like that usually anyway, just baffles me when people make transfers after the first week so rashly. If he was good enough to get in initially, then give him at least 2 games.

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I never had him but these posts are pathetic. If you want to make a point dont LOL @. Try and grow up and get your point across like an adult.

  25. SHOOTER MCGINN
    10 years, 2 months ago
