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.

    Hope Musa comes on to do something otherwise I only get Redmonds 2pts.

  6. Tronity
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

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

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

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years

  9. Surgical Attack
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Capoue outscores my midfield. This game is funny sometimes

  10. wowBOBwow
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 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
      • 13 Years

  11. Brayden29
    • 11 Years

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

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

    8. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Williams coming on at the end was annoying...

      Routledge to Capoue a no brainier?

      1. MTPockets
          9 years, 7 months ago

          But at least can assume he'll start now?

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah true

        • odannyboys
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 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
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

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

      2. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

        1. In Bale We Trust
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Same here. Might lose Gray

          1. Venom Snake
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            No way he looks great.

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

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

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

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

        2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

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

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

            Yeh, I'm gonna monitor him tomorrow

      4. More Tragic
        • 10 Years

        Is 79 with Friend & Sanchez to go any good?

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

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

        2. Sponge-worthy
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Terrible, worst I've seen ever.

        1. davies
          • 11 Years

        • 11 Years

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

        1. Taffer
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          yes playing a free role behind Deeney and Iggy.

      15. Sif
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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