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, you sadist.

  2. Yank Revolution
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Tadic off, Long on

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

    No CS's, missed peno, no attacking points and 3 x YC's 😎

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

      Actually think I might still be on zero.

      Good week other than that little blip Jafooli?

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

        😛

        Worst week ever 😀

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

      Ouch.
      You still provide the best teatime posts though.

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

        And the cupboards are currently bare. Which is probably a good thing 😀

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

          🙂

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

    I might quit! 🙂

  5. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Capoue assist from the blocked shot?

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

      Unfortunately no

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

    Later Tadic

    1. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Out of my team now

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

        But what options are there?

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

          Cazorla

  7. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez is such a differential in my ML. 🙁 🙁

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

      Same... 🙁

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

    Tadic OFF

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

    If Mahrez scored you'd all be saying he's essential. 😆

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

      The problem is that he may be off pens. That's huge this season.

      1. Cecil The Lion
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Not after one miss. Ranieri needs his confidence up, not to dent it further

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      There are only 18 essential players this year.

      1. KipperRSA
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        and they change each time a goal is scored or someone blanks 🙂

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

    Is Funes Mori nailed to the bench now?

  11. Francescoli
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    beautiful run by Bellerin

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I needed a beautiful CS and an equally beautiful goal from him though.

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

    aguero injury would save us all. after hatty of course

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

    Anyonr worse off than 1 assist so far?

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

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I only have one goal. Annoying

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes 🙁

  14. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Very selfish from Ox.

  15. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years

    Scenes on here when Tadic gets a hatty next gameweek lol. Such a frustrating FPL player. More of a troll than Lukaku.

  20. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Ozil off for Wilshere and Ox off for a mop.

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

    Snoddy could be a great pick if you are patient with him, after all he is only 5.6 mil

    I think we maybe expect too much from our cheap mids

  22. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Overall average 26.3 atm.
    I'm crying 🙁

  23. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Bye Bye Riyad.. Welcome Ozil/Mane.

  24. Rainer

    57th - 58th minute in Leicester game...

    Kasper off 57th min, loss of 4 points
    Mahrez missed pen 58th min, loss of 7 points

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

      How about the Baines missing a penalty and Given scoring an own goal? If that will be listed so in FPL, it's just hilarious! 😀

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

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

    Who's watching the Everton match? Can it really be that Baines got his penalty saved and then Given scored an OG? 😀 Jackpot for the non-owners! 😆

    1. s4m777
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Well he missed the penalty.

    2. Neeskens Under Matip
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
