With European football forcing a reschedule, us Fantasy managers suffer a reduced Saturday programme made up of just a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs.

Our main focus is likely to be the London Stadium, where we will be tracking West Ham’s progress against Middlesbrough following four straight defeats. Michail Antonio looks poised to play up front today and carries the hopes of 18% of Fantasy Premier League managers, with almost 13% still keeping faith in Dimitri Payet.

Chelsea are another side with ailing form, although 26% still take Diego Costa into the Blues’ trip to Hull City, with another 20% holding Eden Hazard. Antonio Conte starts both Marcus Alonso and Victor Moses at the KCOM today, with Branislav Ivanovic dropping to the bench.

Elsewhere, Jermain Defoe’s 12% ownership will be hoping for a repeat performance from their striker after his brace in the 3-2 defeat to Crystal Palace in Gameweek 6. The Black Cats take on West Brom at the Stadium of Light, with Gareth McAuley found in 26% of FPL squads.

Watford’s Vicarage Road meeting with Bournemouth completes Saturday programme, with Fantasy managers set to re-assess the form of Walter Mazzarri’s assets following Monday’s disappointing defeat at Burnley.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    best rondon replacement?

        Captain already played and expecting a big day for Sanchez and Ibra captainers tomorrow but it's still cool to see.

      Nice

    3. Swan - Villa Proud

      Great GW too with a few still to play
      GL with your bench & Lallana possible dilemma over the international break .

  4. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Oh my God, it's so nice to see 125k rank. Was 301k before this GW.

    Need Ibra, Sanchez, LEI and MUN defence to blank to maintain this rank. Have Aguero, Sterling, Ozil and Koscielny.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      You need a rather big sofa tomorrow

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yup

  5. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Lallana injury means no rush to get him in next GW. May just do a boring Evans->PVA or Robertson transfer.

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Robertson on the radar.

  6. makaveli123
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Average point top 10k: 24.9
    Average point overall: 19.5

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Was expecting it to be higher that's a pleasant surprise

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      FFS average much higher than either I'd say

    3. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

  8. kingcairo

    30 points with sanchez, ibra(c), sterling, walker to go hope ibra destroys stoke.

  9. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Best 3rd striker from GW8?

    A. Deeney
    B. C.Wilson
    C. Defoe
    D. Benteke

    None of them convincing but leaning towards Deeney or Wilson

    1. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Between them, I'm going to say Wilson

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Tekkers home to hammers and he has been getting goals.

    Wow. I was reading looking at my rank thinking I would be plummeting but have actually gone inside the top 1k.

    Although with a captain fail today and many others with a captain still to go in sure I'll end end up with a red arrow 🙁

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sorry to say but the main 3 captain choices all play tomorrow. Good job getting into the top 1k though

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Well done. With those captains tomorrow might not last but you will still have an excellent rank either way

          • 11 Years

          1. PvA
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Can't see it in that league

    2. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Make me feel a little better seeing a top player like Jonty have a similar score to me

      Hard luck on the Lallana move

  14. Jasoooooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Lallana/Antonio -> Wally worth a hit??

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Worth waiting till he has played

  15. Zombie
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Guys, without seeing your teams, when was the last time your defense gave you a CS?

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I think it was Chelsea's last CS like 4 gws ago lol

      My GK got me 1 last week though

    2. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      GW 4 Baines i guess

      1. Zombie
        • 13 Years

      1. Zombie
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yes. and I benched him 😆

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          feel your pain
          this is the very reason I always double up my goalkeepers

    5. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Whichever gameweek came before the Manchester Derby.

    6. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Last week Smith although was subbed in for Baines so got lucky

    7. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Pickford got 6 pts today. I consider that a CS 🙂

      Otherwise, Foster/Evans GW1 was my only CS of the season

      1. Zombie
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Wow, that's gotta be frustrating. No United & Spurs to start with?

        1. Swan - Villa Proud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Never had Spurs. Had Valencia, but never for any CS

    8. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Last week, Heaton.
      If only defenders, GW3 Valencia.

    9. stachman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Heaton last week... Baines GW4 I think if only defenders...

    10. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      GW1 I think

    11. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Morgan two weeks ago?

    12. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I've had 2 CSs all season; Shaw & Valencia in GW3. Back then I thought I was onto something..

  16. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Hull defenders anyone?

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yep maybe next week

  17. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Kun-Lukaku-Austin a good enough frontline if I had a midfield of Sanchez-Sterling-Firmino-Walcott?

    1. Nicks93
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  18. Nicks93
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Big fat red arrow tomorrow with only Ibra(C), Sanchez and Kun left 🙁

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Big fat lier

      1. Nicks93
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Top 10k have 5 players left on average while the rest have an average of 6. Most captains didnt play as well

  19. kenzo.
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Which combo looks better?

    A. Walcott Capoue in a 3-5-2
    B. Deeney Snodgrass in a 3-4-3

    1. Nicks93
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      B.
      although walcott looks enticing , id find way to get him in a 3-4-3

  20. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    OR from 75K to 13K with Kun (C), Strerling and Sachez to go! Best GW i had so far...

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Very nice a lot people have anywhere between 5 and 7 to go and a captain. Great week so far though well done.

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yes i know, i might see a red arrow tomorrow but i am still very happy 🙂

  21. ***00tennis***
    • 9 Years

    34 with 4 to play including (c) rank 16k - steady start .........

  22. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    21 from 2 defs a keeper & a mid

    Big day tomorrow, Zlatan (c) and Rashford better show up

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      not a bad score really

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I'm happy

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Rashford will be good tomorrow I kinda regret going Kun over him. Hope he takes all the Ibra points too 🙂

  23. bici
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I think i'm gonna go with this defence:

    Heaton/Pickford

    Smith/Holebas/Evans/4.0/4.0

    I really can't see the point of investing in defenders. So little clean sheets this season. I chose two defenders who have some chances to get assist or goal, and one WBA defender. And two goalkeepers who can get points from saves. And that's it. Maybe i'll go with Van Aanholt, but that's it. I have Ashley Williams now, but Everton is bad at set-pieces. I don't know did you guys watched some of their games, but every time Williams and Jagielka wrestle with eachother for the same f ball from corner.

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Go for attacking defenders because as you say, very few CSs

  24. Yankee Toffee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone temporarily considering Gundogan?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      is 5 seconds temporary enough 🙂

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        might need a bit longer than that

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

      I think Koeman said Baines will be back next gw.

      Lovren will have 2 weeks to heal. Played the 90. Not concerned.

      Congratulations mate, that's brilliant.
      No late match probably due to the Friday tv game and a lot of teams having to play tomorrow due to European games midweek
