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

    Barkley's stats are awful, he really worth getting?

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

      Barkley is awful too. Will keep on getting Jammy points.

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

      Better than Firmino

  4. Scholes Balls
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Seriously Wanyama and Barry score ...

    Should I pull the trigger on firmino?

  5. ezaku

    Townsend owners - what are you all doing? He looks certain to drop this week, but his stats are great and his next four fixtures are good as well.

    1. Rusty Nail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I ain't keeping on wc tho that yellow was the nail I'll leave money itb for benteke

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Have bigger problems. Long and firmino

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

      Townsend does get a lot of shots but often it's from distance.. hes like coutinho or Eriksen but a hell lot less proficient.. I think you can get better at that price...

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

        Thinking of shipping him on the WC. Been very disappointing

    4. odannyboys

      I'm ditching for capoue

  6. Jamie_GAWA

    Firmino+Alli> Barkley+ Pogba?

    For free

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

      Go for it! I wish I had the funds to do it

  7. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Hows Firmino + Kone > Tadic/Barkley + Valencia? Kneejerk but seems reasonable to me

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

      Looks good to me

  8. FPL Blow-In

    I love watching Ashanti play. I might start shifting things around if he looks good and is on spot kicks.

    1. FPL Blow-In

      Ashanti 😆

  11. El Muñeco
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Hands up those who have got the Foster/Heaton combo wrong both times, as well as having Capoue stuck on the bench

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

      Had Capoue stuck as 3rd sub both weeks, thought he wouldn't do it again and he did, might be injured now though...

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

    How many of you lots have Mahrez to play?

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

      Vardy

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

    Barca 1 Betis 0

    6 minutes in, goal for Turan.

    Long night for Poyet.

    So turns out Andre Gray is a total knob, did well for me today mind

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      That'll be the chap I transferred out. And the keeper's on me bench.

      It was all going spiffingly well until 3 o'clock came along ....

    2. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Hacked maybe?

  15. FC LAVAMAN
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

  16. Arceus
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    WC 3 Hull players incoming

  17. thepeen555
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Think Liverpool should have left Sturridge out as they played a lot better last week

    1. thepeen555
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      And all the knee jerks in putting cout in too - that doesn't get u anywhere especially this season

    2. waalweter
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      All,

      Hope GW2 is going as planned for all of you 🙂
      Could someone explain or point me to an article that explains how your team rises in value? I ve Barkley bought at 7,5, now his price is 7,6 however if i transfer him i still only get 7,5 in the bank. How does this work exactly?
      Thx

    1. M.A.G
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

    How did Capoue's injury look?

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

      Heard it was quite bad as he was kicked by Diego Costa, we will find out soon 🙂

  25. Rossamous
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Attack of Sanchez, Firmino, Ramirez, Redmond, Capoue, Gray, Ibra, Aguero. 1.0 itb.

    Firmino to Payet after he plays a no brainer?

  26. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I've already done Firmino > Barkley. Regardless of whether or not Firmino starts firing again or not it is all about chasing form. It's a transfer that can easily be undone as quickly as it was done.

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

      Would you do the same transfer for a -4?

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        No.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Been terrible in both games. Looking to ditch myself

    3. Hurrikane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      riiiiiiight.

      And trasnfering in Barkley is your idea of chasing form.

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

    Everyone SELL Gray!!!

    1. JÆKS ⭐
