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

  4. Qubit
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Midfield is looking a difficult question to answer at the moment. Hopefully Payet and maybe some of the Arsenal lads can help answer it, nearly got in Santi last night so he's certain to do well.....

  10. LAMB TEA
    • 10 Years

    1. King Sheep
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Don't rush it, Del>Ramirez looks decent but wait until the gameweek's over ....... also wait on Ozil and see how he does.if he gets on.

  11. Zlatan Time
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    74 points, with 10 bonus points to come, however, no more players left 🙁

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

      That sad face has no right to be sad

      1. Zlatan Time
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        How are you getting on? 🙂

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

          Unlike your profile you can check his if you really want to know.

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Your sad face is annoying

    3. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ridiculous sad face and attention-seeking post.

      1. Zlatan Time
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        The sad face was supposed to show that watching other games without players could be painful, no attention-seeking what so ever, sorry if anyone took it the wrong way...

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

      You're really bad at humblebragging 🙁

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

      That's nothing. I've got 1,678 points with Cole, Wright and Shearer still to play.

  12. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years

    77 + Wally and friend. Chuffed!

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

      wally and friend..
      sounds like a rubbish Jim Carrey film

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

        Ha. More like Adam Sandler movie.

  13. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Whats the rough average here at FFS? Around 60 I assume

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

      I'd guess around 52.

    2. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      You'd think so as most followed the Kun, Ibra and Gray 'template'.

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

      fpldiscovery has top 10k as 56 and they all have Ibra(c).

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

        That's not true

    4. Essan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I am on 60 after Bps with 3 to play and no Zlatan ....

  14. Gaffa914
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Captaining firmino was stupid

  15. Squires FC
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Costa or hazard likely to pick up any bonus pts?

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

      Should get one each.

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

    Relying on Andy Carroll to save your GW is never a good spot to be in.

  17. Del Griffith
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    70 all out, seems about average around here but with no Arsenal or Leicester 70 could be below average

    1. Zlatan Time
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Same here, 74 plus 10 bonus to come, no players left 🙁

      1. Mr. Blonde
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Idiot

    2. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      66, three to play and already big 17 points benched, annoying. Actually lack of CS (only Valencia) killed my 100 points dreams...

  18. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Mahrez ➡ Hazard didn't work as expected 🙁

    Several here adviced me to keep Mahrez

    1. dr. Phil
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I did keep, feel ok for now with just the assist for haz. Lets see what mahrez does next.

  19. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years

    What time do price rises?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      9 hours

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers Torres, pretty happy with my team but have 2 FT so might just do Fletcher to Capoue and catch his price rise

  20. @SirAustinDangerPowers
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Post Bps 58 with 2 to play. Total 132.
    Decent for top10k?

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

      144 is predicted at 9k atm.

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

        Is that 142 pre or post todays baps?

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

          144*

  21. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    The only bad thing is Spurs CS and Kane assist.

  22. halnone
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Just curious, anyone else here have Nolito?

    Seems like he went under the radar before the season

  23. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Who is the best 7.5m mid?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Barkley

    2. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      yep Barkley so far but he's 7.6 now I think

  24. rohan
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    69 post baps with Fuchs and Gaston to come. Chuffed

  25. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Average score 57 + Vardy so far this week:

    Already sold Alli and Vardy for Lamela and Ibra yesterday
    But would you sell Firmino for Barkley (-4)?

  26. Jafooli

      1. E25
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Surely no one actually did that? 😀

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

    2. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Not the best eh

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

        Not good 😛

    3. dr. Phil
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Have no idea what to do with him. Although I know im not buying fekin Barkley.

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

        😀 I already have Barkely so can rule that one out....

    4. bojack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      My name is Bojack and I've owned Firmino for two weeks.

      I need to get clean and gain the trust of my friends and family again.

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

        Welcome Bojack..

  27. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I don't even wanna look

    Tadic, Firmino, Hazard, Lamela

    Need Vardy to go berserk alongside Carroll

  28. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Might do Firmino ➡ Barkley. Great fixtures for Everton

    1. E25
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      THinking of similar

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm doing that

  29. Prøphet
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Do we think Bolasie will start next gw and who drops out?

  30. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Heaton, Foster (played them both on the wrong week so far)
    Fuchs, Valencia, Dawson, Amat, Friend
    Mahrez, Firmino, Tadic, Capoue, Gradel
    Aguero, Costa, Gray
    £2 in the bank

    I'm thinking of wildcarding so that I can have Zlatan, Hazard, maybe Sanchez, and also to fix Fuchs, Tadic, maybe get Redmond etc etc, what do you guys think?

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

      I'd keep that WC. Perhaps downgrade Mahrez (depending on today) and upgrading Costa to Ibra.
