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.

    Sanchez exploding already...it was the right time to wildcard anyway, i guess. 7.7% ownership is not harmful.

  2. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez did the same thing last year. Just as many sold him, he scored a hattrick vs. Leicester.

  3. UshFPL

    9 years, 8 months ago

    WC time?

    Foster Jaku
    Morgan Stones Valencia Amat Friend
    Oscar Martial Redmond Capoue Eriksen
    Aguero Ibra Gray

    Midfield and defence in need of an overhaul i think

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

      Oscar is a waste of time. Needs Haz & Ozil for me

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

        Yep, think Im gonna play it now

      2. UshFPL
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Its either Wc or a -12

  4. Numb
    • 11 Years

    Hazard ≥ Sanchez anyone?

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

      lol

    2. Kroosin'
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Both can get you points.

    3. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No need to change

  5. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Walcott playing his best game in ages. 😀

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

      Great first half for him!

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Loving Xhaka and Caz in midfield as well... in possession at least! 😛

  6. StalkingDwarf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How are Tadic and Townsend playing?

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Townsend could have had two - Boruc in charge.

  7. Milner4eva
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Pickford/Jakupovic is going to come in very handy when trying to fit all these heavy hitters in

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

      This + Amat will save a few £ 🙂

  8. BB-8
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Sold Sanchez and Vardy. Someone hold me

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ouch...

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Lol. I would've done the same tbh

    3. Thiga
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yikes.

  9. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years

    Benteke and Barkley - The tale of the two donkeys 😀

  10. Supertrooper
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone watching the Southampton game? How are Tadic and Redmond playing?

  11. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Aaaaaand all aboard the Sanchez wagon...........

  12. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Cash in on Ibra 0.1 + Kun 0.1 and get Sanzhez/Ozil/Payet/Lukaku why panic?

  13. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Think I will keep Ozil for the time being but Sanchez looking good.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Ozil was unlucky to not get the assist for the first goal.

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

        Ozil is the only cheaper option (Rooney v Ibra type) in the game that I think is worth it.

    • tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      4.5 4.0
      4.5 4.5 4.5 4.5 4.0
      Alexis Hazard Tadic Bolasie Ramirez
      Aguero Ibra Diamonde

      Just have to make your peace with a bunch of ubers.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Hard to pass on Benteke on a WC

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Eyeing Tadic and Diamonde to Benteke and 4.5 at some point.

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

        Reddy for Tadic straight away to raise cash.

    • Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      my midfield is just crap

    • Keno
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      And that my friends is why I have Ibra, Aguero, Sanchez and Hazard. Bam bam ship those points!

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

        May I see your team?

      2. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        It's almost half your budget on 4 players... How is the rest of your side looking?

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        All Mark's fault.

      2. MDK
        • 16 Years

      3. TheBusDriver
        • 10 Years

      4. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Could have had a couple. Still a good buy with these fixtures. Question is, do you have Sanchez too?

      5. andymck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He could score.

      6. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I have vardy, aguero, hazard and lamela. Can you teach me how to post my team in my profile?

          1. Kante Be Bothered
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Looks pretty solid! May have to try something like that

    • TeddiPonza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tadic and Barkley to Alexis and 5,5m worth it? 😀

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Wait on Barkley, he's got good fixtures

    • Adriano
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      So many decisions available to us. What an exciting season thus far

    • DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tadic -> Walcott for free?

    • money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years

    • Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Watched first half of Saints. Snorefest.
      Arsenal second half a good scout?

      1. MesQueUnClub
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Everton - Stoke last 20 mins were great too.

    • Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      So.. GW 1 was fun..

    • cyclopropane
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Still going to give eriksen the next few fixtures. He's due points

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

        Very poor form though.

    • Pedram
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez is torturing us non owners, BRB destroying the rest of the team to fit him in

    • UnitednationsXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      firmino >> ozil?

    • Mickey Tyrion™
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      After the Hull game.. Dropping Ibra for Sanchez and those fixtures.. Sanchez can get massive hauls. Think the nice little patch of fixtures for United will slow Ibra down.
