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.

      Sahmpton. The place where dreams are broken

  8. JÆKS ⭐

    How was Barkley doing?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Loads of chances.

    2. Manani
      10 years, 1 month ago

      he looks really threatening.

      I am planning on getting him in

  9. Wilshere Knowledge
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bought Vardy because of pens, sold him for loss of pens and bought Mahrez for pens.

    Going well.

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Oh God.

    2. Milner4eva

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        10 years, 1 month ago

      2. Puntillimon
        10 years, 1 month ago

        To be fair, he did look threatening

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Just wouldn't be interested without penalties. Hopefully the situation gets clarified.

  10. EDEN THE MAN
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino+Gray----Ozil+Diomande for free

    or Firmino+Walker+Gray-----Sanchez+Williams+Diomande. -4

    1. EDEN THE MAN
      10 years, 1 month ago

      WHICH ONE

    2. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Walker isn't injured. illness.

  11. TheBusDriver
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I;m glad that GB is glad that he took the risk on Benteke.

    1. Piggs Boson
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Disappointing start, but he has promising stats and should be on pens now. Staying optimistic 🙂

  12. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Frank Black
      10 years, 1 month ago

      There's the international break, you shouldn't be in a hurry.

  13. StalkingDwarf

    Love the new change in the transfer page where you can easily see who's on your watchlist or not. Makes adding players much easier.

  14. Greenbackbøøg…
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. KOLASINA(C)

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

      29 from 3

    2. @SirAustinDangerPowers
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Are we fpl twins or something.
      Valencia in mine the only change.

  17. Sunny 😎
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Never have I been so excited to watch a game end up 0-0. C'mon Hull and United defences!

  18. Sánchez
    10 years, 1 month ago

    JRod back as cheap mid could be good if he gets starts

  19. KOLASINA(C)
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Only Aguero can save us folks.

    1. Sánchez
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I hope he goes off after 1 minute leaving his status unclear over the break

    2. harrydavies14
      10 years, 1 month ago

      and Ibra can destroy us (me for that sake)

  20. Bubz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Not like Ville Ronka to double up on a team's mids and for them not to score

    1. TheSteel
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hes probably livid right now

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

      Lost his touch.

    3. KingNidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      be trashing his bedroom as we speak

    4. Camp No No
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Well, he's often started slow like many others. The skill is in patiently working it up the ranks. I'm sure he's not even worried.

  21. kempc23

    In my mini leagues, it says wildcard played on a couple of friends teams. Does that mean they played it before this gameweek deadline, or after?

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think before the GW.

    2. Sylas
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Before.

    3. HVT
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Before

    4. Sunny 😎
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Played means they have already played it before the deadline. Had they played their wildcard after deadline it would have shown wildcard active

  22. arthadox
    10 years, 1 month ago

    18 from 6... 🙁

  23. Rolls-Royce
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mahrez to Payet is the easiest transfer I'll make in ages.

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

      ozil instead ?

    2. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ozil might be better, due to better team mates

    3. Trae44
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good

  24. Arteta
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Townsend is useless.

    1. how now brown cow
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ha ha. I know!

      From a tottenham fan.

    2. Camp No No
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dial up?

  25. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    ANYONE Mahrez > Ozil ?

    1. Piggs Boson
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm doing it.

  26. Piggs Boson
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard will probably be the highest scoring FPL player again this season. He's back.

    1. Back on the horse
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I was gonna captain him but bottled it

  27. Sp0rting
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Adieu Deulofeu

    1. HVT
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Already got rid of Dela/Terry > loveBites, I mean loveBarks!
      😎

    2. Camp No No
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yup. I'm gutted. Not so much for FPL, but genuinely for the kid Deulofeu. He should be having so much better career with his skills.

      1. Camp No No
        10 years, 1 month ago

        *for FPL reasons

  28. gauzah
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking of doing Tadic > Lamela

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That or Antonio will be my move too

      1. gauzah
        10 years, 1 month ago

        WHU are terrible atm, Lamela a much better option imo - in form and Spurs fixtures are v. good for att. returns

  29. Robben Mee Blind
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Brilliant- just checked fpl and realised Williams was on my bench after wildcard this week. Put him in team this morning but must have forgotten to confirm. At least for once he's not on for BAPS!

    1. ONSIDE 9
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Could have had assist too after winning pen

  30. Butcher
    10 years, 1 month ago

    People with Barkley Tadic Townsend (me) be patient lads.

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Tadic 23 pts next gw 😉

      1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I heard that before 🙂

      2. Jimmy Boy
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Told myself that the last three gws 🙁 time for him to go

    2. Dimen
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm shipping out both Tadic and Townsend

    3. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      10 years, 1 month ago

      sometimes you must be ruthless and ditch though

    4. Dickie1898
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lol you're joking. No returns for 3 weeks on tadic and townsend, tadic subbed on 69. Ditching both.

      1. noquarternt
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Look at how many penalties there have been this season. Tadic is definitely a keeper unless the rest of your squad is perfect.

    5. noquarternt
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Getting Barkley in showed a lack of patience with Firmino to begin with.

      1. Dickie1898
        10 years, 1 month ago

        So you're essentially saying Tadic is essential because he's on penalties. I'm happy with shipping firmino out, jumped on the prices and went with fixtures, too many options at liverpool and the points will be spread. He got a penalty assist today which is pure luck.
