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.

    Unlikely assist for Capoue

    He shot, deflected twice and then it was scored.

    Still, at 4.5 he's looking far and away the best value mid for that.

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Still, those are just the kind of jammy points you cannot expect him to keep on producing day in day out. Those who have been getting him up from the bench have been so darn lucky with it.

      Disclaimer: I'm not saying he's bad. He's not. He's an excellent midfielder, and he can give okay attacking returns over the season, too, for the price of 4.5. Just that he's not going to be a big hitter at 4.5. Of his 5 shots, 3 have lead to a goal this season, and those happen to be all goals Watford have scored. That just can't continue.

    Mahrez check
