After United’s 1-1 draw against Stoke at Old Trafford, we now have a couple of 2.15pm kick-offs to continue a busy Sunday schedule.

Man City’s trip to Spurs is the pick of the two matches as Pep Guardiola’s side seek to maintain their 100% Premier League record.

Sergio Aguero’s performance is eagerly anticipated after Zlatan Ibrahimovic blanked once again earlier today.

Drafted in by more Fantasy Premier League managers than any player last Gameweek, he has served up 13 points in each of his two away appearances so far but faces a tough task against the league’s most resilient rearguard.

Heung-Min Son is the home side’s form player.

The South Korean has bagged four goals and an assist in the previous three and fired a midweek Champions League winner in Moscow. Deliver against Pep Guardiola’s side and we can expect the bandwagon to pick up speed over the international break.

Champions Leicester welcome Southampton to the King Power on the back of a midweek Champions League win over Porto.

The Foxes have only failed to win one of their first three home fixtures – a goalless draw against Arsenal – though face a tough task to break down a stubborn Saints’ rearguard that have racked up five successive clean sheets across all competitions.

Whilst Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez struggle to reprise last season’s form, new boy Islam Slimani has wasted little time in settling into life under Claudio Ranieri. He bagged a brace in his previous league appearance at the King Power and also netted the winner on Tuesday evening.

Charlie Austin was rested for the Saints’ Europa League clash with Hapoel Beer Sheva on Thursday and returns to the starting XI today, having netted five times in his last four across all competitions.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Bellerin.

  3. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez, Walcott, Liverpool mid, Sterling, Son, Chadli, Snoddy, Payet...

    I've never been an advocate of the 3-5-2 but I have to say it's tempting me!

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

      It's definitely tempting me as well, seems like the right time to do it if ever

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

        If I was on a WC, I think that I would definitely go with a 3-5-2 with Stuani as the 3rd fwd

      Who would be your forwards?

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Tempted myself, currently thinking Aguero, Deeney and Austin/Wilson

      2. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Aguero, Lukaku, Diomande

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

      Tough one

      Maybe

    2. Thomas Magnum

      Wait and see

  6. joescores

    Boys, was Sargent Snodgrass any good yesterday? Haven't seen him playing whole season. All infos appreciated!

  7. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Who out for Son, Antonio or Chadli? Chadli's fixtures...

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

      Probably Chadli just, his fixtures are pretty horrible

    2. athreya
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Chadli.

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Chadli

  8. Freddie Cutecat
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    What's the delay in crediting Rose with the assist?

  9. Net Gains
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Almost 28% of teams still have John Stones. Please tell me why!!!

    Is it the weeks when he gets 1 point that you like or is it when he gets 2 points that really does it for you???

    10 points in 6 games! 10 points for £5m = 2 points per £1m!

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Stones owner here. Benched him though.

    2. Fergietime
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      because we only have one transfer per week

      1. Net Gains
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I get that and I also get that there are priorities, fair enough, but isn't the chance to downgrade him and save £0.5m on a better defender worth it?

        1. Fergietime
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          heinsight is a wonderful thing, I did the save money thing thing with Azpill to Baines for a hit, Baines injured since and Azpill has a Cleanie! As for stones he has a great run of fixtures coming up and seeing as their is no defence keeping Cleanies whats the point in transfering

    3. SamH123
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      we're only 6 weeks into the season, just because City have contrived to concede 1 every game doesn't make their defence poor going forward. I know it's frustrating he hasn't scored but the future could be different

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    City being found out already?? Celtic and now spurs countering citys tactics

    1. NRK

      KDB!

  11. Forza

    Really, Zlatan? 1 point vs Stoke at home?

  12. Idiottax

    Ibra and Snodgrass to Austin and Payet for -4?

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

      Why sell Snodgrass before his run of good fixtures?

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

      No don't do that

  13. Goodricke
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Wildcard question.

    If i build a wildcard team, and the players values change during the break, and i decide to change my picks, will i benefit from the price rises?

    1. MTPockets
        9 years, 6 months ago

        You need 0.2m rise between buying and selling to bank 0.1m.

      • athreya
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        As long as they rise by 0.2 minimum.

        1. Goodricke
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          2 week international break means that could happen.

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

            Yeah but if there are too many wildcards then price changes slowdown.

          2. Jimmers
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Not really - transfer activity will drop off in a couple of days to a trick;e plus transfers made on wildcards don't count towards price rises/falls

      • Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, but you need to get at least +.02 to gain selling value

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Ibra owners.
      Would you Ibra + Capoue to Payet/Walcott + Rashford/Deeney or keep Ibra?

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        P&D

      2. Iwantmorepointsthanks

      Anything interesting in the other game? Austin in my watch list.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        He hit the woodwork.

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

        Austin hit the woodwork!

      3. Laurel and Vardy

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

      City are being ripped to shreds

    6. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I wonder when will Aguero get his usual penalty

    7. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Son looking so dangerous

      Very direct. Very good option alongside theo and lallana in mid priced bracket

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

      I feel like Im watching a Pellegrini Man City side

      1. Scholes Balls
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        City - KDB = Pelegrini's City

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

      If there wasn't so much rotation in this Spurs team, one of those midfielders would def me in my team!

      1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Son is safe. I am getting him in.

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

            I'm not so sure about that. I thought Eriksen was safe too, but then he started on the bench

        • Thomas Magnum
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah should son stop scoring Lamela will be back in

      2. Moyeschester
        • 10 Years

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          About 108% I think...

      5. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        "That's got penalty written all over it"

        "Let's take a look"

        "Ooh, yea, not a penalty."

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          😆

        1. Net Gains
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          It's down against the dollar

      7. NestorC
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Keep Rash or swap for Austin if he scores today?

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Swap probably

        2. Fowler23
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Raford playing too wide

      8. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        How's Alli looking?

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Slim
