The Gameweek rolls on with no less than six three o’clock kick-offs to monitor. Fantasy Football managers will need to spread their attention, with a vast array of talent on show.

Eden Hazard’s 25% ownership will be expecting big things from their man at home to Burnley. The Belgian has returned in both his outings thus far but will likely face a rearguard action from the visitors at the Bridge.

Equally, Riyad Mahrez is heavily backed to produce against Swansea at the King Power. The Algerian haunted the South Wales club with four goals last season and remains in 27% of squads ahead of today’s kick-off.

Everton’s Romelu Lukaku makes his return to the fray in the home clash with Stoke as he bids to attempt to break up the Aguero/Ibrahimovic monopoly in our frontlines. Whilst down at St Mary’s, Dusan Tadic and Nathan Redmond will be bidding for our attention in midfield as they face struggling Sunderland.

Christian Benteke makes his Crystal Palace debut at Selhurst Park as winless Palace and Bournemouth clash, whilst at Vicarage Road, Arsenal will attempt to kick-start their season with a win over Watford with Mesut Ozil returning to the Gunners’ line-up.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    How have Leicester been playing?

    1. bojack
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lots of pressure, by the sounds of it.

      Stoke at hanging on v Everton as well according to BBC.

      Very strong, Siggy has looked like scoring a few times as well for Swansea.

    Vardy showing Gray who the real non league sc*mbag is

      10 years, 1 month ago

      I tend to do well by signing scummy players. Suarez and JT were always reliable scumbags

    I resisted Vardy -> Ibra.

    Hoping for a Hull shut out later.

    1. Licky
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd take a Martial brace, no Ibra involvement.

    2. Simon69
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not a bloody chance.

    Only one in my league who's captained Kun, everyone else has gone for Ibra - bricking it.

    1. FISSH
      10 years, 1 month ago

      you should be happy

    What happens to a bet if match is called off early due to weather problems?

    1. harrydavies14
      10 years, 1 month ago

      bet gets refunded within 48 hours i believe

  12. Ziro
    10 years, 1 month ago

    At least Vardy to Ibra saved me 0.3m. :clutching:

    1. Bubz
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra better score 😡

      1. Qubit
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Could easily not do you know. Had to get him in tho

    mirallas essential, red>kevin

    1. bojack
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm not enjoying all his missed chances but he sounds dangerous.

      Ref is having a mare at Watford.

  14. Rainer
    10 years, 1 month ago

    People still own Vardy?...

    1. Arteta
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah

    2. Dirty Harry

        Haha really...

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Plenty non-casuals panicked and sold him

    3. Halftime
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A fair few dead teams too though.

    4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I still think he's a great pick.

    5. BananaNose Maldonado

      Gladly. It was only a matter of time.

  15. KOLASINA(C)
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mahrez -> Hazard on the cards.

  16. ☻ Jon Snow ☻
    10 years, 1 month ago

    TBH it really made the most sense to hold onto Vardy this GW rather than selling him last week. But I'd probably selling him anyway after today

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I sold him for Zlatan. Had to do it incase of falling behind! Still back my decision.

      1. Ravager
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Same. Was losing more from not owning Ibra with the opponents in my league. Don't really regret it long as Ibra banks in one.

  17. Francescoli
    10 years, 1 month ago

    how's Ozil looking?

    1. Piggs Boson
      10 years, 1 month ago

    Mahrez has to do something for me here.. its looking like a sub-average week for me.

  19. Mark-O
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Liverpool vs Leicester next

    It's ok to skip Vardy for this I think

    1. andymck

    4. Jay_
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Just because he's not performing doesn't mean we should make him a Bukkake victim

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'll take seven points over 0.1 any day.

        1. The Legend Squad
          10 years, 1 month ago

          0.3 if you transferred to Ibra... also getting a better player in a better team. Long term no-brainer

  26. Moin

  27. The Donald
