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.

    Monreal injured? Or just tactical change?

    1. Declan
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Injured

    Baines missing that pen... Tadic off... fml

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

      will baines be off pens now

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

        I doubt it. Still went in... Just not in FPL terms.

      Quite annoying that. Assist though!

    When is Mkhi gonna start..

    1. Lovren an elevator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I hope soon. It's breaking my team. Drafted him in my league after everyone on here was raving about him pre-season!
      You think it's a matter of when rather than if?

      1. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Draft league?

        Same dilemma here...not sure whether to keep him in a draft league or not

        1. Lovren an elevator
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I've got no choice. Our league, we pick a team and can't transfer at all until after Jan transfers. I just hope he comes on earlier today, he looks good when he's on doesn't he?

  4. El-Kloppico

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years

  6. Telpuialion

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

    2. El-Kloppico

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

      Mahrez has now missed three of his last four penalties for Leicester City in the Premier League. Vardy time!

        So many selfish players in that Everton team. They always shoot instead passing to a better positioned player.

          13 so far this season average over last 4 seasons was 88.

          Would be on for 250 this season at this rate.

          WTF?

      16. Limbo

        Tadic, Townsend, Mahrez, the list is getting bigger by the minutes.

      18. Weeb Kakashi
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Did Alexis look good?
        Worth getting in for a hit or Wc?

      19. Pork Pie Sausage Roll

          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

      20. Nobodinho
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Capoue on corners

      21. makaveli123
        • 9 Years

        Waiting for Tadic to assist or score, but I didn't notice he was subbed 15 minutes ago.

      22. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        FPL has Baines assist + penalty missed - Given penalty saved + own goal 😆

        1. Mull
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          • 14 Years

          The net result is about right for the action of the play.

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

          So, it's... about, like, +1 to Baines and +3 to Given? Could be better, could be worse.
