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.

    I can't wait to delve into the member's stats after all this 🙂

    Eriksen > Firmino a good move?

    I have a funny feeling in my stomach that Kun and Zlat won't do much.

      You're probably right

    If Tadic and Redmond fail to return today I'm getting my knee jerk on.

    Tadic+Redmond > Ozil Capoue.

    Gives me Kun/Ibra/Hazard/Ozil/Barkley

      10 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think you should have doubled up on soton attack!

      1. Dirty Harry
        10 years, 1 month ago

        In hindsight yes.

        I was riding on Redmond OOP and Tadic looking tasty. They've failed me both.

        1. Lovren an elevator
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Both look good still! But you have to choose 1, both leaves midfield too light for the cost imo

    2. Energetics
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I also have both. Tadic to Ozil for me, I have the money spare.

  5. Hybrid.power

    Tadic and Townsend will score as soon as I get rid of them

    1. Lawrø
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I have both too... So disappointing!

    palace are crap, time to ship townsend!!

    Plan was to ship firmino but he bought himself a lil bit of time i think

  7. Teror
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard > Sanchez? I have 0.9 ITB so could do it for a FT as well.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard not scoring well?

      1. Teror
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Nah not enough for my liking. Only got one today and Sanchez has one and an assist.

        1. Podge
          10 years, 1 month ago

          😆

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I have both and Diomande makes it possible

    3. Sánchez
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hazards no Europe
      Sanchez has CL.

      1. Teror
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you, I overlooked that. But please, stop talking about yourself in third person.

  8. Keno
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Last chance for Tadic for me, if he blanks here I am shipping for sure.

    1. Dirty Harry
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same here!

    2. So Troublesome
      10 years, 1 month ago

      They haven't hit their stride, but may not be worth keeping. I may switch him for Walcott or Cazorla.

    3. Energetics
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same

  9. TheSteel
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone doing worse than 1 assist so far?

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

    get lost barkley, finish that

    1. Dirty Harry
      10 years, 1 month ago

      🙁 just gets worse

  11. Zebrahimović
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Probably not going to do this just yet but I can get Ozil if i get rid of Barkley and chage my non-playing 4.5 mid for Leko.

    Would give me a Midfield of Hazard/Ozil/Lamela/Townshend/Leko

    I mean it'd be knee jerky but thoughts?

    1. Zebrahimović
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Got 2ft to do this.

      1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        10 years, 1 month ago

        looks good

  12. Somalion
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Watford sign Kaboul.

    Watford start Kaboul.

    Watford concede 3 goals in 45 minutes.

    1. Dirty Harry
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Has to be one of the worst hey

    2. No Name to Display
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Add this:

      Dont be like Watford.

  13. Pedram
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Last season we didn't have this problem, hopefully Kane doesn't starts scoring, it's already pretty hard trying to fit in all these premium players.

  14. Chucky
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bring in that Batman so we can see 5-0 today lol

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    2. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      CS points not even in yet.

  16. Jay Jay Okocha
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez with those fixtures is worth a wildcard to reshuffle funds. Agree or disagree?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      10 years, 1 month ago

      agree, i'm definitely wildcarding

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Agree and international injury break. Glad I have Sanchez already though

  17. Energetics
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Had been pre-planning Tadic to Ozil, have the money spare. Definately looks a good move based on today, yes?

    1. Keno
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yes

  18. Mash Potato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Wish there was a hindsight chip!

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Boom Sanchez 🙂

  19. Rainer
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If Ibra blanks people will be getting him out for Tekkers to get Alexis in haha

  20. Simon69

    People considering selling Hazard for Sanchez have lost their marbles.

    1. Limbo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ye

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed. Returns in 3 out of 3 games and people are considering selling. Fools.

      1. Simon69
        10 years, 1 month ago

        During a match in which he has scored? Just nein.

    Holgate almost assists. Dammit.

    1. Simon69
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You reckon he's nailed that starting role?

  25. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
