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. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mane, Klavan, Wijnaldum the main ones

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mane, Wijnaldum, Klavan, Matip, Manninger

  9. Count of Monte Hristo

      Gray to rise 0.1m by Monday 5/1

  10. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    The one thing I learnt last season was "patience is a virtue".

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Amen

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. I took 1 hit last season. Finished top 5k

  11. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Nice wake up call 2 for Kun(c) and Nolito. Surely Nolito starts next week. Navas seriously?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Navas is a shocker!

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Navas should be shot for being so rubbish. Pep will see sense im sure of it.

    3. Tatty Bojangles
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Navas was awful.

    4. Albrightondknight

  14. Hakuna Juan Mata

    what are the chances Fabregas stays on the bench all season or gets sold?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Arsenal should buy him back

    2. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He'll replace Oscar soon enough

  15. devils advocate

    And I was nearly attacked this week for telling someone who said sell Barkley was giving stupid advice, lol.

  16. The Donald
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Firmino will be hard to keep if he blanks...

    1. MFC86
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      i agree, too many United and City mids to come in for him

  17. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Sturridge is so bad in terms of selfishness.

    1. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Good to own him in FPL but very frustrating if you own a teammate of his.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Works both ways. Sometimes he can pass for an easy assist, but blasts it into row Z and nobody gets points.

        1. Ziro
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Rarely see him pass for a tap-in tbh. Sooo selfish.

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Aye. Could be brilliant but it lets him down.

            1. Somalion
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Agreed.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      And glassness

    3. Long Juan Silva

      • 11 Years

  20. KOLASINA(C)
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Fer Fuchs Sake, I always pick the wrong GK from Foster and Heaton rotation.

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      2 times. "Always" haha you made the smart choice coming into this gw

      1. KOLASINA(C)
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        2 out of 2, it means that I have always done this wrong.

        1. MFC86
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          yep 100% is always and I have done the exact same

    2. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It's only half time

  21. SW6
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Ryan Sessegnon who just scored for Fulham was born in year 2000. Way to make me feel real old 😆

    1. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Whaaaat

  22. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Has Lamela looked threatening?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I hope not. I cant afford him now 🙁

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I haven't seen him mentioned so no .

  23. Hakuna Juan Mata
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    need a swansea and liverpool goal now

  24. A Team Of James McCleans
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Firmino hattrick, gray red card?

    1. piquiblanco
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Okay

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Id take that. And I own both.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This. Also makes it easier to get rid of him(Gray) without worry.

        1. Acquafresca
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Tekkers ?

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            That's the one. It's normally this kind of decision that makes or breaks my season. Mainly breaks. 😀

    3. The Donald
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd take a hattrick from both of them

  25. Backup Dancer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hard choice between who to drop out of Firmino Eriksen

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Eriks for me

  26. slippers
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    If Moreno was playing, Liverpool would be losing 3-0

    1. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is that so, yeah?

  27. under the dog
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    i'm considering firmono to barkley now

    1. The Donald
      • 9 Years

  28. OptimusBlack

  29. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Firmino nearing my Transfer trapdoor

  30. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Between Lamela, Firmino and Tadic. My midfield isn't exactly tearing it up right now.
