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

  7. Kane Train
    • 11 Years

    Should I do Deulofeu to Capoue? Bolasie will surely take his spot thoughts?

    1. Fergietime
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      done it last night.

  8. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Capoue benched twice crew checking in. Just need to hope Swans/Burns don't concede & it's all good.

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yup. Reminds me of Mahrez last season

  9. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Harry Kane alive?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No but his corners and free kicks will live on

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    Capoue with the step over and nutmeg

    He's running the game and crowd cheering like crazy

  11. A Team Of James McCleans

    Moreno on, oh god

  12. sidmhr
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Last week's bench: 23 points
    This week's bench: Jaku, Amat, Capoue, Evans (same as last week): 22 without bonus points

    Seriously feel like breaking something -_- -_-

    1. A Team Of James McCleans
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Jaku Capoue Amat Kingsley

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      They'll probably be on the bench next week too

      1. sidmhr
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        They almost certainly will be. But at what point does this become ridiculous :/

    3. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you don't play Amat against Hull at home, then when do you expect to play him?

      1. Salfpilgrimlfc
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Jinx

      2. sidmhr
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I don't. He's supposed to be benched. But when Stones and Baines both fail, along with Courtois, it just doesn't feel nice

      3. sidmhr
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That's why didn't play Amat. Still not too happy about Capoue though 😛

  16. Tansey
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Swear Klopp's assistant is lowkey Lazar Markovic

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Explains a lot

  17. Mark-O
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Barkley or Coutinho for the next few fixtures? Gosh!

    1. Tansey
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Both frustrating to own, but I'd choose Barkley

  22. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      For people who dont understand betting... This means if you put £10 on as well you lose £10.

        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        ha- you're probably right. it was a free bonus bet from betfair for betting on Ibra anytime scorer last night.
