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.

    nailed for next gws ?

      He looked good. A really good chance at the end before being subbed off. Could do with a bit more fitness but i think he is nailed.

    This game is as frustrating as a round of golf. How to get Sanchez or Ozil in before their prices explode? Still have 26 pts from 7 players with Aguero, Stones, Evans and Valencia to go. May have to shift Firmino out for Sanchez with Kane with Costa or Negredo the enabler

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

      Wait, we have weeks until the next GW. Injuries can happen.

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

        how much can he possible drop before gw 4?

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

          0.3 max

  6. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Ozil worth the extra cash over Barkley?

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

      Yes imo

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yes imo

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

      Yeah i think so. I own Barkley and hes jammy

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

      Arsenal attack now essential

    5. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, really annoyed I was 0.1m off this week.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Morgan + Firmino to Ozil + 4.5 gives me the same problem....

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

      Always.

    7. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      definitely if you can make it work

  7. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Really hope the avarge is low so far this gw. Im at 29 points, with 4 left 😛

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Average around 23pts so far from about 6 players.

  8. Toby Lerone
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Mahrez and Deulofeu > sanchez and Fer? Have 2 FT

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe. Same 2 & hadn't considered Fer. Also have Gray though.

      1. Toby Lerone
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah I have Gray also, gonna stick with Gray and go for this i think. My midfield would be light but I'd have Hazard and Sanchez with Fer and Redmond

  9. Chaps Before Baps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Who's the best midfielder under 6.6 to get in?
    I have the exact funds to do:

    Mahrez > Sanchez
    Barkley > 6.6

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Redmond

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Or maybe Bolasie.

        1. Chaps Before Baps
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah I'm considering Bolasie or Mirallas

  10. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    12pts 😎

    Valdes
    Pieters - Souare - (possibly Stones)
    Mahrez - Firmino - Barkley - Redmond
    Wilson

    All got to go. WC time? Or can it be fixed with 2 x FTs?

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Solid 8/8 team m8. Stick.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      It's ok. Mahrez and Wilson need to go.

    3. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Half of those don't need to go

    4. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Why would you sell Barkley?

    5. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Bright side:
      Firmino oop, should produce.
      Barkley, nice fixtures.
      Redmond oop.
      You could probably get close to what you want with a hit.

  11. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Schmeichel, Tadic, Redmond, Townsend, Beneteke = 9 points.

    Wildcard time.

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

      Kasper was so annoying!

  12. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Redmond > pereyra gw6 already looking tasty.

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

      Pereyra essential

  13. Oliver Tockman
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Got bottomed. How will Arsenal lineup when Perez comes in?

    A) Will he start up front and Sanchez on his usual left flank forcing Ox to the bench?

    B) Will he start on the right with that left foot of his, with Sanchez up front, forcing Walcott to the bench?

    C) Will Perez start on the right, Walcott up front, and Sanchez on the left?

    D) Will Perez start on the right, Giroud up front, and Sanchez on the left?

    thoughts??

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

      Its either Alexis or Ozil from Arsenal for me

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Good points, if Sanchez is flanked again then it will greatly diminish his returns.

    3. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Perez will cover Giroud for now.

      Walcott and Sanchez on the wings.

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

    Mahrez owners calm down, Payet has great fixtures comming up!

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

      Watford next.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      will payet even be there?

  15. Mainoo Magic
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    27 from 6, meh.

    I need to get rid of townsend and tadic asap!

  16. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Juve bench........

    Higuain 76.5mil
    Pjanic 27.2 mil

  17. jmcclory123
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    What would the current average be at the minute?

    20ish?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      21 top 10k and 24 overall.

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

      21 but irrelevant before Ibra and Kun play.

  18. So Troublesome
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Drop Tadic for Cazorla or Walcott?

  19. Coldplay
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Mahrez owners are we getting rid?

    1. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No

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

      Yes, Payet/Ozil/Mane

    3. Richd
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I always like keeping faith, but he's taking up a huge chunk of budget and maybe will lose pens like he did last season..

    4. Toby Lerone
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Im thinking so just so i can get sanchez in for his fixtures

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Ozil.

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

    Barkely Firm > Hazard Snod for free? Worry about Ozil later

  21. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Who wins?

    A) Friend+1 point
    B) Shaw+Sterling+Negredo

    I might be overthinking this...

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      LOL

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

      b smashes it. Are you kidding?

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Friend CS and blank for everyone else means A wins...

        I think I'm really overthinking this 🙂

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

    Should I keep the faith with Tadic or ditch him for Lamela/Lallana?

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

      or cazorla

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

        I thinking the same, for Cazorla. Don't want to hit for Ozil

  23. Richd
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Time to study the stats and jerk a knee.

  24. kinghenry14
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    when i take hits and play wc just before deadline do my negative points get removed?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

  25. BB-8
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

      yes, but you want your C to do at least as well as him 😉

  26. AnotherBareBum
    • 9 Years

  27. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years

    1. Dimen
      • 12 Years

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Arsenal mid in is the obvious one but not sure how you can do it.
