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

        Depends how many you want to shift.

        I'd look at Kasper, Valencia (fixtures), Stones (City don't play for CSs), Redmond, Antonio, Capoue (Allen, given fixtures).

        -20 would be steep.

    I was thinking of replacing Puncheon (fourth mid) with Snodgrass prior to gameweek 9. But should I now consider Allen instead, especially taking Stoke’s upcoming fixtures into account?

    I.e.
    A. Snodgrass, or
    B. Allen?
