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

    Jaku and Capoue's points saved my gw after Liverpool and Musa no shows.

  6. Tronity
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Should I downgrade Deulofeu to Barry (and play Capoue going forward) in order to upgrade Vardy to Zlatan? Two FTs

  7. CarrollsPonytail

    Capoue outscores my midfield. This game is funny sometimes

  10. wowBOBwow
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Fplers be like...

    Pre season: Capoue looks great for a fifth mid, bombing forward and scoring goals

    Week one and week two: OMG capoue goal and he'my third sub, I hate this game

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  15. Count of Monte Hristo
    10 years, 2 months ago

    What do you guys make of Mark Hughes at Stoke? Do you think they are going anywhere as a club with him?

    1. Danstoke82
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Not unless he sorts out our defence. He has to bring in a new first team defender.

  16. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Williams coming on at the end was annoying...

    Routledge to Capoue a no brainier?

    1. MTPockets
      10 years, 2 months ago

      But at least can assume he'll start now?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah true

    2. odannyboys
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I'm pressing the button on that, although routledge home to bournemouth next and capoue has arsenal.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Routledge is away to Leicester. Not even getting 60 though. I'm catching this rises

  17. Venom Snake
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I have 2 FTs but I can't see anything that needs to be done 😕

    1. In Bale We Trust
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Same here. Might lose Gray

      1. Venom Snake
        10 years, 2 months ago

        No way he looks great.

      2. Hurrikane
        10 years, 2 months ago

        ????

    2. ⚛Aeneas⚛
      10 years, 2 months ago

  18. Garlana
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Firmino and Oscar to hazard and 6.0m?

    Who at that price other than Redmond or the amazing capoue is worth a gamble?

    1. Brayden29
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Exactly what I am doing. Already own both Capoue and Redmond though. Looking at Ramirez

      1. Garlana
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ramirez really seems the stand out, I guess I can rotate him and capoue 🙂

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ramirez (5.5) maybe, favourable upcoming fixtures. I put him in to afford Ibra + I'm not convinced by Redmond.

      1. Garlana
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeh, I'm gonna monitor him tomorrow

  19. More Tragic
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is 79 with Friend & Sanchez to go any good?

    1. Garlana
      10 years, 2 months ago

      No it's terrible...but you already knew that didn't you...

    2. Sponge-worthy
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Terrible, worst I've seen ever.

  22. Pedram
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Can't get the Heaton-Foster rotation right. benched Heaton and played Foster this week.

    1. davies
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Same - Heaton should go up in price this week though

    2. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

  25. uptheboro
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is there a reason Capoue has become fantasy gold? Has his position/role changed?

    1. Taffer
      10 years, 2 months ago

      yes playing a free role behind Deeney and Iggy.

      1. uptheboro
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Excellent Sig to Capoue it is then

  26. Rolls-Royce

  29. Kante Be Bothered
    10 years, 2 months ago

  30. Sif
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Townsend, Tadic, Firminho. All these 'value' midfielders failing to deliver.
