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.

    tadic probably created about 100 chances first half right?

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

      Considering SH had 0 chances id say no

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

      He was involved quite a bit in the beginning until Sunderland took over

    5. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

    6. Numb

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

    Holgate looking good to hold down a starting role?

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

      With Coleman for competition? Doubt it.

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

      Nope.

  3. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Gray/Heaton/Firmino to Alexis / Pickford / Stuani?

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

      No.

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

    Emotions seem to be running wild on FFS right now. Everyone calm down!

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

      No! It's been a whole 45 minutes and my season is ruined!

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

      One player had one good half - CHAOS

  5. BB-8
    • 10 Years

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

      Yep

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

    Was thinking of selling Mahrez but he's playing Liverpool next week

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

    This season it's all about the big boys again

  8. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone watching Palace? How was Benteke?

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

      Trying

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

    burnley just sitting back in chelsea's half like a scared cat with dogs around him. It's embarassing, at least try to go forward

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

      They got very lucky last week to score early.

  10. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Come on Ozil. Get another

    • Belsunz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard show to recommence

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

      For those trying to fit all of kun ibra hazard and sanchez in. Dont bother. You really have to choose between sanchez and hazard. Sanchez for me.

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

        Ozil + Hazard

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

          Neither as explosive as alexis

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

      Mahrez to Ozil looking like a good plan

    • UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez and Diomande or Ozil and Gray/other player around Grays price?

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

      Does Sanchez have any international match? in the break?

    • TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hopefully Friend doesn't start. Looks like Kone will get a clean sheet.

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

        well done, friend won't play

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

        Kone CS banked!

      3. Konig Luther
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Kone and Pickford on bench here 😀

      4. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He says with 45 minutes left

    • Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Pereyra on for Watford

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

      Pereyra on for Guediora.

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

        he is in my watchlist

    • Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Alerting you all that Mane has dropped in value. Doubt it will last so get in there quick.

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

        He'd have to get points to rise. Pretty safe at this point.

    • andrinho
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      a) Ozil
      or
      b) Sanchez with 4 point hit

      Leaning towards b) myself. Can make up more than 4 points with a goal

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Does this need a WC?

      Jaku (Schmeichel)
      Valencia Terry Stones (Amat & Kingsley)
      Ramirez Hazard Mahrez Redmond (Routledge)
      Kun Ibra Rondon

      Mahrez -> Ozil

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

        No way do you need to wildcard. That'd be my transfer

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

        Yeah. No Milner

    • Salfpilgrimlfc
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      How much value think can gain in int break by wcing?

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

        depends on pogba

      2. Tex
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Really depends. On sanchez profit but you'll likely want to keep and also depends on who you can transfer put without putting back in at a loss such as hazard or aguero. I'd say in this window about 0.3 to 0.5 maybe. If that.

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

        Pogba would rise 0.3 and the Arsenal boys could rise too...

    • Kingston
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      The year of the uber defence to fund the premium attackers?

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

      my transfer out firmino & vardy 🙁

      how is ozil & benteke doing?

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

        Ozil scored

    • Smythe
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Looking ahead... Mahrez + Lamela >> Alexis + Ramirez for free. Thoughts?

      Or just Mahrez > Ozil and roll a FT?

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

      Best game to watch at the moment? I've been on Everton v Stoke. Cracking game even though Bolasie is giving me the nerves.

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        how is Bolasie faring?

    • Haz84
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      what do you guys think about this WC draft .. insane !

      Jakupovic , Pickford
      Amat , Holgate , Cameron , Robertson , Smith
      Hazard , Sanchez , Lamela , Coutinho , Capoue
      Ibra , Aguero , Stuani

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

        yep

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

        defense very solid

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

        Awful defense bar Holgate. Also Firmino or Mane -> Coutinho

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

        Shocking at the back. Don't think you can have all 4 of those big boys without sacrificing 3rd and 4th mids a bit. Even then it's seriously unbalanced.

    • UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is it worth taking a -12 to save the Wc? Im thinking not atm

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

        -12 is the absoulte limit IMO

      2. Keno
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        no

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

        Make it a -16!

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

        I've made a -20 in the past and it worked out (small green arrow!), but I was VERY lucky. If you a nail a low-picked captain you can claw back the hits, but usually you will lose out dropping so many points.

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

      Proud owner of hazard,sanchez,vardy,aguero,lamela

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

        No Ibra 😯

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

          Still have 2 ft. Maybe redmond out for gray out to diomande, vardy to ibra. Or maybe should just let it be

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

            Redmond out for cheap mid*

    • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
