After Chelsea’s 3-0 canter over champions Leicester at Stamford Bridge, we now face five 3pm kick-offs.

Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott will be looking to deal the damage as Swansea roll up to the Emirates in their first match under new manager Bob Bradley.

Man City welcome Everton to the Etihad, where Pep Guardiola has listed Sergio Aguero on the bench ahead of the midweek trip to Barcelona. Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling both recover from injury to be named in the first XI.

Heung-Min Son’s growing band of owners have also been left disappointed after he was named amongst the subs for Spurs’ trip to West Brom. The South Korean international was drafted in by more FPL managers (334,000) than any player in the previous Gameweek.

Hull roll up to Bournemouth ahead of some fine upcoming fixtures that could see Robert Snodgrass emerge as a value option for our five-man midfields.

Elsewhere, Stoke welcome Sunderland to the bet365, allowing us the chance to scout Marko Arnautovic and Xherdan Shaqiri as the Potters prepare for some fine fixtures.

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

        Ouch. That sucks, sorry. Though law of averages, keep pretty much the same team and next week you'll probably do well!

    26 post bps. Pleased with that after having 5 at HT. Would be happier if I hadn't benched Allen.

    Some interesting cheap midfielders have emerged and with Antonio playing right back they could be good options. Stanislas and Allen at the top of the list.

      Snodders out for one of these two I reckon, but Stanislas threat etc numbers are rubbish. What to do?

    -1 for Aguero and he was the most Capitained. Don't have him on my team. For a ManU fan, this is extremly satisfying.. ;D 30 on 5 players for me!

    Please guys would appreciated feedback?

    Thinking of switching to 3-5-2. Current team;

    Heaton
    Kosc Evans Lovren
    Sanchez Firmino Son Snodgrass
    Aguero Tekkers Lukaku

    Subs; Pickford Capoue Amat MWilson

    Lukaku + Capoue > Diomande + Walcott?

      Why drop any of those strikers?! Madness.

      "Hi Knee Jerk, how are you?"

      Rubbish week? Ride it out. Son will come back some time and score a brace and you'll have bragging rights.

      I would say Capoue -> Allen. Stokes fixtures, positioning on the park etc.

        It's really to bring in Walcott. Seems I need him in my team.

          I think Walcott & Lukaku will end up pretty similar by the end. Kaku potentially higher in fact (Ramsey, Giroud coming back etc).

          Wally will have the odd week, such as this, but Kaku is the focal point for Everton who will score. Look at today.

          Take the rough with the smooth and address other issues. But your call obviously!

      Depends on the rest of your team. If you expect a player to score / assist every week you are deluded.

      Next week, Sterling could get a goal and assist.

      I'm keeping both.
