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.

      • 9 Years

    2. Manani

      he looks really threatening.

      I am planning on getting him in

  9. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    Going well.

      Hahaha. What's your next move? I'll avoid

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Punch a hole through a wall. 😉 😆

      2. Puntillimon
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        To be fair, he did look threatening

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

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

  10. EDEN THE MAN

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

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

  12. Sad Pablo Arsecobar

    1. Frank Black
      • 13 Years

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

  13. StalkingDwarf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    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…

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

  17. Sunny 😎
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

  18. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

  19. KOLASINA(C)
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Only Aguero can save us folks.

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

    2. harrydavies14
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      and Ibra can destroy us (me for that sake)

  20. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Hes probably livid right now

    2. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Lost his touch.

    3. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      be trashing his bedroom as we speak

    4. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months 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
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I think before the GW.

    2. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Before.

    3. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Before

    4. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months 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
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    18 from 6... 🙁

  23. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      ozil instead ?

    2. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Ozil might be better, due to better team mates

    3. Trae44
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good

  24. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Townsend is useless.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Ha ha. I know!

      From a tottenham fan.

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Dial up?

  25. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    ANYONE Mahrez > Ozil ?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'm doing it.

  26. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I was gonna captain him but bottled it

  27. Sp0rting

    Adieu Deulofeu

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months 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
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        *for FPL reasons

  28. gauzah
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Thinking of doing Tadic > Lamela

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      That or Antonio will be my move too

      1. gauzah
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months 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
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months 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
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Could have had assist too after winning pen

  30. Butcher
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Tadic 23 pts next gw 😉

      1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I heard that before 🙂

      2. Jimmy Boy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

    2. Dimen
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'm shipping out both Tadic and Townsend

    3. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      sometimes you must be ruthless and ditch though

    4. Dickie1898
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. noquarternt
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. Dickie1898
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months 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.
