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?

      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

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

    2. Yank Revolution

      Lol

  5. Chucky

    Well done Vardy Owners

    I resisted Vardy -> Ibra.

    Hoping for a Hull shut out later.

    1. Licky
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

    2. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not a bloody chance.

  7. Milner4eva
    • 13 Years

    Hoping for a goal from Mahrez, assisted by Fuchs

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

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years

      you should be happy

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

    1. harrydavies14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      bet gets refunded within 48 hours i believe

  12. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ibra better score 😡

      1. Qubit
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

  13. faver

    mirallas essential, red>kevin

    1. bojack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

      Ref is having a mare at Watford.

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    People still own Vardy?...

    1. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah

    2. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      casuals

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years

        Haha really...

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Plenty non-casuals panicked and sold him

    3. Halftime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A fair few dead teams too though.

    4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I still think he's a great pick.

    5. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Gladly. It was only a matter of time.

  15. KOLASINA(C)
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez -> Hazard on the cards.

  16. ☻ Jon Snow ☻
    • 10 Years

    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

    1. Tabasco
      • 15 Years

      #Hindsight

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months 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
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    how's Ozil looking?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years

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

  19. Mark-O
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Liverpool vs Leicester next

    It's ok to skip Vardy for this I think

    4. Jay_
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          I'll take seven points over 0.1 any day.

          1. The Legend Squad
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

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

    9. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Going past Given is tough..

    10. The Donald
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

        • 12 Years
