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.

    The official fantasy needs to give every team an additional £10m so that we can upgrade our players 🙁

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I need more, i need more dammit!

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

    Is this ridiculous a reason for a WC?

    To get rid of

    Barkley,Bruce,Stones,Friend,Rondon,Pogba (to Ozil) and maybe Foster

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I am tempted to do somerthing similar

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

      And Redmond

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

        Lamela has done nowt for a couple of hours now

    3. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah. Youre going nuts because of one half.

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

        Thanks, thought that but my defence is a shambles

        Valencia,Stones,Friend,Amat,Bruce

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

      You must have only just got Pogba! And Barkley has returned in two games so far.

    5. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Wouldn't get rid of Stones or Pogba but get Ozil.

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

        I would keep Barkley imo

        Sanchez still too expensive to own

      • Eskimooo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I didn't realise the games had finished this week , how did rondon , stones and pogba get on ?

      2. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 10 Years

        Jerky

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

        Vokes essential

    7. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      OfficialFPL @officialfpl 23secs

      Scout says: Get Aguero, Ibra, Sanchez, Hazard, Ozil, Cazorla in your teams now. Good luck.

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

        Don't forget Milner, Rose, Willian, King, and Vardy. All essential.

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

        Of course they will score well, but look at the price. There doesn't seem to be enough value elsewhere to justify the bunch. Unless Capoue keeps scoring lol

      3. Pedram
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        More like good like trying to fit them all in.

    8. I am 42
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      how is ozil & benteke doing?

      my transfer out firmino & vardy both deliver 🙁

    9. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Who was the guy who said he's glad he took the risk on Benteke?

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

        Alan Pardew

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        not going to see him around till he scores

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

        LOL "knew he'd start"

    10. Wurstmuncher
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez will be triggering a lot of wild cards methinks

    11. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I have Aguero, Ibra, Sanchez & Hazard. I don't think it makes my side look too bad despite people saying its impossible.

      Valdes Jako

      McAuley Baines Shaw Kone Stones

      Hazard Sanchez Redmond Ramirez Capoue

      Aguero Ibra Diomande

      1. MemphisDepay7
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Having to rely on Diomande or Capoue to start every week is a bit iffy, would downgrade Baines to upgrade one.

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

        It's a 442 frequently used

      3. Ghost86
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Not bad

        That team is going to trigger some wildcards

    12. Pedram
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      And i thought i could keep my wildcard for more than three weeks this season.

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Ha! Fool! 😛

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

      All I need is an Aguero blank. That's not much to ask for.

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

      Lukaku look sharp?

    15. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hows Bolasie playing?

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

        Looks like he has one lung.

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

        Wondering the same.

    16. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez scoring today...might just play WC!

    17. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Gutted Williams and lukaku effects cleared on the line ffs

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

      How has Bolasie looked?

    19. Arceus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Need a + £100m cash chip for 1 gameweek 🙁

    20. I Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If wildcarding who would you prioritise; Sanchez or Ozil?

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

        Sanchez no question

        1. TheSteel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Dat price tho

        2. Kanga roo
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Based on one game*

          You lot are way too quick to judge. Enjoy forever chasing.

      2. TheBusDriver
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Coin toss

      3. Wurstmuncher
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        sanchez will get more points

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

        Might have to settle for Ozil if I want the other big three..

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

        Sanchez if you can fit him in. Ozil great also.

      6. Sailboats
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Ozil. Can't afford Sanchez, haz, ibra and kun

    21. A Moon Shaped Pool
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      What a week! Keep my faith on vardy, sanchez, hazard and lamela! Can't wait for tomorrow's game. Captained kun as always

      What are Arsenal's fixtures like? Too lazy to look

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Soton, Hull, Chelsea, Burnley and Swansea

    23. JogaSemmedo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Can you imagine this place if Ibra blanks tonight?

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

        He will. I had a dream about it.

      2. TheBusDriver
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I captained him though.

      3. kalmoffit
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Get Vardy back?

      4. Ghost86
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Ibra out Sanchez in for sure

    24. Jimbo123
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Anyone considering Mkhityran if he starts and performs well today?

    25. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Had the armband on Alexis all week, then I read Triggerlips' article 🙁

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

        what did the article say

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          West Ham defense in shambles after humiliating European defeat...something like that. Very convincing.

      2. Vedas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Stop reading him.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          It's FPL. No one can guess anything accurately. But I should go with my gut more often.

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

            Yes.

      its possible to get 5.0 3x4.5 4 def

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Relying on Cap or Dio every week a bad shout. Redmond instead frees up cash

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

          4-4-2 maybe.

    27. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Already considering wildcarding.

    28. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mahrez and 1.4 itb. Easy swap to sanchez. Phew.

    29. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Come on everybody - burn those WCs way too early again 🙂

    30. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Cazorla is a good punt for pens and assists. Watchlist for me.

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

        Not with Ozil and Sanchez bossing the show.

    31. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      And there we were thinking Barkley - Firmino - Lamela - Redmond - Capoue etc would get us through the season 😆

    32. andrinho
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      De Gea,Tadic & Mahrez to Foster/Heaton, Sanchez & Mirallas/Redmond?

      Thoughts. -4 point hit

    33. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hows redmond looking besides the yc?
