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.

    Gray set to fall in price tonight. Kneejerking not allways the smartest way to play the game.

      • 14 Years

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

      Nope, Gray is at -88.8% and his price has stopped dropping.

      1. ☆Khaz
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Not the case a few minutes ago, but atm. he is at 92% on fffix with a green arrow. New crowd of kneejerkers buying him now.

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    My midfield is a nightmare

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1 - 2 - 2 - 4 here and capoue benched

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ouch! 2-2-3-Ramirez here.

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

      9 from 4 here.

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Better than me but I have Ramirez left.

    3. Chinu
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      mine as well
      Need to get rid of Alli, Deulofeu & Firmino.

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, Firmino needs to go doesn't he? Not too keen on Barkley but it seems like the obvious move.

    4. under the dog
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      9 and ramirez to go, weak ;/

    5. Mainoo Magic
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same contributing nothing again for me, 1-4-3-2, pathetic. Capoue on the bench to compound it!

  19. phace
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    43 + baps + negredo, mahrez, vardy and friend to go

    could still be diabolical

  20. JogaSemmedo
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    73pts Inc bonuses all out. 51 of those from my 3 strikers tho. Still can't complain!

  21. Harper_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Well this is going to be tough.. Really hoping for something from Vardy to pick up my week but then I already transfered him out for Ibra before Swansea at home so I don't know how to feel

  22. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Firminho to Pogba incoming.

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

      Pogba or Barkley for me!

  23. micsway
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    liverpool were very poor

  24. dhamphiir
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Are you guys keeping Firmino and Tadic?

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

      selling both

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I only have Tadic, definitely keeping. He will come good.

      1. odannyboys
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        yup, stick with tadic.

    3. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm selling Firmino.
      Might get Cazorla! Looking forward to seeing how he does tonight

    4. LAMB TEA
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      sell firmino

    5. Jonny Sutt
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Knee jerk!

      1. Red or Dead
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        2 blanks and Spurs/Chelsea away in next 3 isn't a knee jerk

  25. Jonny Sutt
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Snodgrass seems like a decent 4th or 5th midfielder! Always seems to be involved in things for Hull.

    1. WZRD542
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I also think he's worth a punt , but Hull fixtures not looking too promising.

  26. Mo Salah No Mane
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    My chances of a Mahrez and Ramirez hatrick?

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd be happy with a brace for each.

      1. Mo Salah No Mane
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'll start praying

    2. Mr. Grv
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez 100%
      ramirez none

      1. Mo Salah No Mane
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Mahrez 80
        Ramirez 20
        Kosc back though 🙁

  27. kaiserkarl

    Gray target : -88,8 ... 8)

  28. CarrollsPonytail

    Goodbye Bobby F.

  29. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Despite captaining Kane I should end up on around 61 points.
    Should have captained Aguero but I've managed to avoid a massive red arrow I think!

  30. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Are Kane owners happy?

    1. Mull
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No but I'm not as miserable as I could have been.

      1. Az
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago
