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.

    Southampton had this coming for 2 years. Its incredible what theyve managed to so after selling their best 2 years in a row.

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I understand why Koeman left.

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

    Wouldn't mind Evans staying home to nurse his injury - Kone off bench

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

    Townsend FFS.

  4. makaveli123
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Morgan BAPS gone.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years

      Game winning goal bonus

  5. devils advocate

    Really want a Burnley goal now that Hazard got yanked.

  7. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years

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

      Wait 10 minutes.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

  8. Mark-O

    so how is it with wildcarding and price changes? is it better to play my wildcard right now or can i take hits and play wildcard just before deadline of next gw so i get these - points for hits removed?

  11. fiveyears
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Wildcard int break was a good idea after all

  12. Milner4eva
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Fuchs, Mahrez, Townsend and Tadic are all going to drop before the next GW.

    Also have Barkley and Gray who I don't like and Evans and Friend are flagged.

    Worth a WC to ship that lot out?

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd say yes

    2. myboycharlie
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If you want to preserve team value u will need to wc

    3. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah

    4. Pedram
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm activating it, just have too many deadweight.

    5. Milner4eva
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      thanks, much appreciated. confirmed my thinking.

    6. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Probably

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

    WHY does the chump at the top of my league have to have FER!?

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

    Tadic - those stats!

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

      Are they positive?

    2. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      which?

  15. myboycharlie
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Have exactly enough to do deulofou and mahrez to Sanchez and fer with my 2ft sound good rather than activating wc???

  16. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Fer is pretty cheap but Swansea has terrible fixtures ahead

  17. *sigh*
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hold that cleanie Pickford you wonderful wonderful person you

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Oops

      1. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Knew it ha ha

  18. Fischy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    The question is, Mahrez,Barkley or redmond out ?

    1. Areid13
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      mahrez

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

      red represent decent value, and it seems that coach cant see long and austin at same time on the pitch, which gives redmond minutes.

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      WC

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

        wc last gw :s Mahrez will go for lizardeyes i think

  19. Areid13
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    With all these pens being awarded, pen takers seem like easy points. apart from mahrez obviously...

  20. devils advocate
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Another player I was correct about a couple weeks ago.

    Fer will score goals if you need a cheap 4th mid. 😉

  21. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    fer been men tioning him here as option and everyone says go snod

    fer at 5.0 must have no? 2 goals now

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

      Essential

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

      No. Not quite. But decent punt.

    3. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not must have, but a good option at that price point.

      Struggled last season but came to the league late from memory. Did well prior to that with limited minutes. If his nailed on which it looks like he is, he could be a bargain as he does get involved in attack.

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

      i punt on routledge

      got nothing but 1 point

  23. Energetics
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Tadic and Redmond to Sanchez and Fer too knee jerky?

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

    redmond to fer?

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

    Hazard -> Sanchez making sense as long term move? Only way to get him in.

  26. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Come on Townsend
    Come on Barkley

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

    Does Defoe get assist for his own pen?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No

    2. moz_1983
