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. ☆Khaz

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

    1. odannyboys
      • 14 Years

    3. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      1. ☆Khaz
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months 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.

    4. MTPockets

    8. Rolls-Royce

          • 14 Years

          Nice team too, Capoo'hey looking like a genuine usable 5th mid

      4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        My midfield is a nightmare

        1. Henryyy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          1 - 2 - 2 - 4 here and capoue benched

          1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Ouch! 2-2-3-Ramirez here.

        2. piquiblanco
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          9 from 4 here.

          1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Better than me but I have Ramirez left.

        3. Chinu
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

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

          1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 7 months 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
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          9 and ramirez to go, weak ;/

        5. Mainoo Magic
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

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

      5. phace
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

        could still be diabolical

      6. JogaSemmedo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

      7. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months 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

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

        Firminho to Pogba incoming.

        1. JogaSemmedo
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Pogba or Barkley for me!

      9. micsway
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        liverpool were very poor

      10. dhamphiir
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Are you guys keeping Firmino and Tadic?

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

          selling both

        2. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

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

          1. odannyboys
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            yup, stick with tadic.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

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

        4. LAMB TEA
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          sell firmino

        5. Jonny Sutt
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Knee jerk!

          1. Red or Dead
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

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

      11. Jonny Sutt
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

        1. WZRD542
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

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

      12. Mo Salah No Mane
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        My chances of a Mahrez and Ramirez hatrick?

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I'd be happy with a brace for each.

          1. Mo Salah No Mane
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            I'll start praying

        2. Mr. Grv
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Mahrez 100%
          ramirez none

          1. Mo Salah No Mane
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Mahrez 80
            Ramirez 20
            Kosc back though 🙁

      13. kaiserkarl

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

        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months 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!

      16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Are Kane owners happy?

        1. Mull
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

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