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

      9 years, 11 months ago

      I need more, i need more dammit!

  2. Jamie_GAWA
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 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 ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I am tempted to do somerthing similar

    2. Jamie_GAWA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      And Redmond

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

        Lamela has done nowt for a couple of hours now

    3. TheSteel

      Yeah. Youre going nuts because of one half.

      1. Jamie_GAWA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks, thought that but my defence is a shambles

        Valencia,Stones,Friend,Amat,Bruce

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

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

    5. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      I would keep Barkley imo

      Sanchez still too expensive to own

    7. Eskimooo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

      How's that knee doing?

    2. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Jerky

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Vokes essential

  4. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

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

    2. Adriano
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      More like good like trying to fit them all in.

  5. I am 42
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    how is ozil & benteke doing?

    my transfer out firmino & vardy both deliver 🙁

  6. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Alan Pardew

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      not going to see him around till he scores

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      LOL "knew he'd start"

  7. Wurstmuncher
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Sanchez will be triggering a lot of wild cards methinks

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

      It's a 442 frequently used

    3. Ghost86
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Not bad

      That team is going to trigger some wildcards

  9. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      Ha! Fool! 😛

  10. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

  11. StalkingDwarf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Lukaku look sharp?

  12. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Hows Bolasie playing?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Looks like he has one lung.

    2. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Wondering the same.

  13. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Sanchez scoring today...might just play WC!

  14. Top 210 Club
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Gutted Williams and lukaku effects cleared on the line ffs

  15. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    How has Bolasie looked?

  16. Arceus
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

  17. I Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    If wildcarding who would you prioritise; Sanchez or Ozil?

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Sanchez no question

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Dat price tho

      2. Kanga roo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Based on one game*

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

    2. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Coin toss

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

      sanchez will get more points

    4. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

    6. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

  18. A Moon Shaped Pool
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 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
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Soton, Hull, Chelsea, Burnley and Swansea

  20. JogaSemmedo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Can you imagine this place if Ibra blanks tonight?

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      He will. I had a dream about it.

    2. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I captained him though.

    3. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Get Vardy back?

    4. Ghost86
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Ibra out Sanchez in for sure

  21. Jimbo123
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone considering Mkhityran if he starts and performs well today?

  22. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      what did the article say

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

    2. Vedas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Stop reading him.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

          Yes.

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

      1. Hargo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        4-4-2 maybe.

  24. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Already considering wildcarding.

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

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

  26. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
    • 11 Years

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

  27. So Troublesome
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Not with Ozil and Sanchez bossing the show.

  28. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

  29. andrinho
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    Thoughts. -4 point hit

  30. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Hows redmond looking besides the yc?
