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.

  12. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Holebas back on the pitch but still a bit limping.

    Majority of my comments this week was convincing people (mainly myself) that Wilson is best 3rd spot fwd- hope he keeps it up with these good run fixtures

    FF Fix is showing Firmino on 2bps. What's going on?

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Milner gets 3 for the winning goal...

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

        Wasn't it 1bps

    2. Burton
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Should be 2 once Rangel's assist, given in error, is removed.

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Oh okay, nice....

    3. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Already no chance of a clean sheet this week. I just counted and I've only had 5 all season! I imagine someone can beat that? What's the most/fewest out there?

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

      6 for me. None this GW confirmed

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

        3 for me.

  22. devils advocate

    I know I sound like a broken record, but how unlucky can my defence be?!

    Now Holebas to join Baines, PVA and Galloway on the sidelines with Amat my only back up.

    I'm seriously considering giving up for the season. 🙁

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

      Mine with Kosc, Williams, Pieters, PVA and Amat isn't much better

      1. devils advocate

        This isn't about you. 😉

      Defenders are old hat. Never get any pts any way.

      Stop being so grumpy.

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Already did it.

            Right before I helped myself to your wallet and a bottle of rum from your liquor cabinet. 😉

            Thanks again dad. 🙂

        Cool story bro.

  23. JayBomb

    Chelsea are pants Hull the better side in the 1st half

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

    What a disappointment Chelsea have turned out

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

      Hope Snodgrass can do something in second half

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Need a Chelsea win with a cheeky Snoddy goal in there somewhere.

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      The one thing I did right this season is to get off the Chelsea train before it derailed.

  25. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years

    Going with 3 Wat players doesn't look such a good call now 🙁

  26. Jamie_GAWA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    My players are doing badly..

    Anyone else the same 🙁 ?

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

      6 from 5

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years

      Haz Costa and capoue here. Oh and pva

  27. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years

    Looks like chadli could be off at ht. Limped off and looked defeated

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

    How is Deeney doing?

    Sold Benteke for him (-4) lol, shouldn't have done that 😀

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      what has Benteke done wrong? 3 goals in 4 games, will be more settled

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

        I did the same move than Jaks.

        Fixtures look better for Deeney and that saves £0.5m that you can use elsewhere.

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

        Well it was 2 in 3 at that time, but was bothered with the fact that he wasn't involved in many goal, 1 in the last 7..... He played decent against Everton though so regretting this move already 😀
