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

    Capoue first on my bench but no chance of coming on 🙁

    50/50 between Watson and Capoue preseason. Went for Watson 😎

      I chose Capoue because he's French

      Same. We should swap them to make money. Capoue will sky rocket being a top listed mid on the FPL transfers page, when sorting my points. He'll go to 5.0m in two weeks, IMO.

    it was a brilliant strike too

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Why have you searched for that?

  7. Hect.OR 98th

    Redmond over Capoue. I'd do it every week as well....

  8. ★Kuntheman★

    9 years, 7 months ago

    Okay if you're like me you find benching Capoue twice really hilarious

    1. President Giggs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Everyone's got him benched, really shouldn't bother anyone as it's better to have him on the bench than not at all

  9. thepeen555
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Capoue once again

  10. KrisMCFC

    Anyone catch my post this week on why I was going to bench Redmond and start Capoue? 🙂

    I hope so. 😉

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Now he pipes up

      1. devils advocate
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        What's that mean?

        I wasn't trying to be smug, just saying I provided a balanced argument regarding each players chances and it worked out well because it leaned towards Capoue being the best choice.

        I was hoping others may have read it and benefitted from it as I did. 😉

    If Arsenal concede a couple later on...

    Seriously tempted to play Capoue next week...

  14. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Why in the world is Alli still on the bench? Is he even warming up?

    1. The Donald
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He better not be I've got Capoue first sub

  15. faver

    for anyone thinking about buying Costa, another yellow.

  16. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years

    Are you f***ing kidding me Capoue

  17. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    No one is ever going to play Capoue out of choice. Irrelevant if he scores.

    1. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I did, and quote intentionally. 😉

  22. Numb
    • 11 Years

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Alli might still come on?

  23. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Capoue trolling us hard

  24. Tansey
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Let's be honest we were never actually going to start him, so don't do too much complaining

  25. DarylT
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Capoue = George Boyd in disguise?

  26. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    that Capoue can really strike a ball

  27. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Capoue is like the old George Boyd. Bench fodder who scores

  28. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Lets be honest and at least enjoy the Capoue price rises. :criesinside:

  29. osceola31909

    I really might have to stop benching Capoue.
