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.

    Worst. Season. Ever. Benteke hat trick would barely even keep my head above water.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 23 days ago

      1.7m rank and 10 points, don't know what to do anymore

      1. Rich_20
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Shall we start a support group

  2. fedolefan
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Stones' returns this season 2,1,1,2,1,2,1,2.

    Owned by 27%. More like he's pwning 27%.

    1. Rich_20
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Well worth his price tag.

    2. Sánchez
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Weird how he hasn't fallen 0.1 yet

      1. Odikostar
        10 years, 23 days ago

        This

      2. fedolefan
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Think it takes a lot more transfers than normal to fall from your original price. Hazard dropped to 10.0 from 10.3 in one week. And since then he's only dropped to 9.8, and that too yesterday.

    3. Francescoli
      10 years, 23 days ago

      ....but he is such good value

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 23 days ago

      He needs a kick in the stones

  3. Lecky Legs FC
    10 years, 23 days ago

    26 from 7 with Austin,Antonio Mane,Martina & Bailly left to play by sure how I feel about this

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 23 days ago

      That's not too bad

    2. Clump
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Above average.

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Yer guess it's not too bad hope Mane goes berserk on Monday and get a brace.

    3. Odikostar
      10 years, 23 days ago

      12 players huh

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Sorry 6 my bad

  4. OLEgend
    10 years, 23 days ago

    I did Stekelenburg > Cech this week. Atleast I didn't captain Aguero, captained Ozil. Still 🙁 ...

  5. TheBusDriver
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Told you Aguero is not worth 13m. Without pens he's not even worth 10m.

    1. willl
      10 years, 23 days ago

      lol

    2. Forza

      🙄

      Haven't you deleted your team yet?

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Don't disturb the driver.

    3. Clump
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Get back on the bus.

    4. TooDifficuIt
      10 years, 23 days ago

      thank you for warning us...

    5. dcarlito

      10 years, 23 days ago

      I thought you quit?

  6. TooDifficuIt
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Any live streams for West Ham?

  7. Hi I'm Jose
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Im happy for Tekkers owners this evening. I think we will see Bilic resigning unofficially too. Insisting in Zaza and Antonio is at rb for weeks? you cant get a job even in conference league like this..

  8. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Baines will he start next gw or noone knows?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 23 days ago

      B

      1. Total Foot 5
        10 years, 23 days ago

        b?

    2. Hi I'm Jose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Oviedo looked very good today. I dont think Koeman will nail him in so quick.

      1. Viper
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Very good? He got roasted!?

    3. Total Foot 5
      10 years, 23 days ago

      baines has a good fixture , not sure if to keep

  9. bici
    10 years, 23 days ago

    I should start captaining GKs against Man City.

  10. Francescoli
    10 years, 23 days ago

    i've officially cracked it. knee jerked walcott and allen in.

    1. Mick J
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Awesome! I have two free transfers. What do you think of
      Antonio to Walcott, and
      Puncheon to Allen?

      Orginally I was thinking of doing something with my defence (Baines, Valencia, A. Smith, holes, Evans), but I suppose that can wait.

  11. Demí
    10 years, 23 days ago

    What's -1 x 2 ?

    Thanks in advance

    1. fedolefan
      10 years, 23 days ago

      -2.

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 23 days ago

      -1 x 2 = Kun (c)

    3. Sánchez
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Good value for money though

    4. bici
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Mcdonalds? Waste collector?

    5. Syd.
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Aguero (C) 15/10/2016

    6. Odikostar
      10 years, 23 days ago

      -0.15 points per mill

  12. In Bale We Trust
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Deciding to hold ANtonio and STerling instead of switching to Wally hurts so much.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Wait till Antonio blanks before you say this

  13. Francescoli
    10 years, 23 days ago

    ... and i just put a fiver on West Ham to beat Palace 2-1

  14. Football Weekender
    10 years, 23 days ago

    There was loads of back and forward on here the last few days about Agüero and would he start / how many minutes he'd get.

    We tried to warn them, we really did!

    1. Francescoli
      10 years, 23 days ago

      miserable sod

    2. Demí
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Warn about what?

      1. Football Weekender
        10 years, 23 days ago

        That he was unlikely to start given recent injury, international games, CL in midweek and the fact that Iheanacho had proven himself to be capable of stepping in.

        No-one saw the pen miss coming though, even with the 3 misses already this season!

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Yeah I knew he wouldn't start,then come on and miss a penalty.just knew it.

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 23 days ago

        It was obvious.

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          10 years, 23 days ago

          Yeah and the wife will have a headache tonight too.bad day all round.

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      10 years, 23 days ago

      warn them?

  15. Flynny
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Is Walcott approaching must have status?

    Are those who already have sanchez going to to invest in him?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Yes and yes

    2. bici
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Ffs, did you watched Man City? Aguero is must have, right? There is no must have status.

  16. thedalmeny
    10 years, 23 days ago

    My ML rival and guy im also up in H2H...

    - Captained Aguero (So -2)
    - Took a -8 to bring in Antonio, Bellerin (No CS) and Rose (Didnt play)

    Ouch....

    1. Coaly
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Antonio in for -4 is ludicrous

  17. thep025
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Sterling->Walcott now?

    1. Viper
      10 years, 23 days ago

      No.

  18. Jasoooooooo
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Will Baines go straight back in next GW??

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Dunno

  19. MrMaverick
    10 years, 23 days ago

    How many do yous have to play and who are they? six here - heaton, holebas, Valencia, britos, firmino, coutinho

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      3 - Holebas, Firmino and Rashford

    2. Venom Snake
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Britos, Kelly, Firmino, Antonio and Benteke

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Guardiola

    "I am so proud of my team, they played amazing"

    1. TooDifficuIt
      10 years, 23 days ago

      that's true

    2. fedolefan
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Lol, his rotation policy is in for a shock. We'll see the strongest 11 every time going forward.

    3. Sánchez
      10 years, 23 days ago

      We'll see how good he really is in a competitive league now.

  21. Venom Snake
    10 years, 23 days ago

    So many questions 😯

    1. MrMaverick
      10 years, 23 days ago

      good to have FFS back busy again

  22. trequartista
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Really tempted by Snodgrass > Walcott for a free. Have just the funds for it

    1. Flynny
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Thinking the same...

  23. The Fantastic Mr Fox
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Wenger on the Xhaka sending off: "It looked like a dark yellow card, but he got a bright red!"

    1. fedolefan
      10 years, 23 days ago

      This is actually funny.

  24. Viper
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Prioritising an Arsenal defender over Walcott really hurts.

    I genuinely would have captained him too. Oh well.

    1. semiconductor
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Bad gw for most

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Hindsight i know, but always prioritise the one with the highest scoring potential.

    3. OLEgend
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Same here, but to add to my misery I prefered Stekelenburg > Cech over Antonio >Walcott

  25. semiconductor
    10 years, 23 days ago

    I have exact money for morgan and sterling (i have kun) to vertonghen and walcott. Should i do it?

  26. rozzo
    10 years, 23 days ago

    I could easily take a -24 hit this week and probably want to do the reverse the week after.

    Last few seasons there was a small pool of top picks that performed near on week in week out. This season the pool is a lot larger and a lot more inconsistent.

    No point knee jerking.

    1. Venom Snake
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Spot on

    2. Clump
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Please don't come on here and talk sense on a match day.

  27. Squires FC
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Antonio playing rb 🙁 what a day

  28. Hi I'm Jose
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Anyone tell me why Sterling plays so sticked to lines always? Due to his recent injury on pitch that Coleman must have been sent off indeed? But he kept playin 90 minute.

  29. Jolly Good
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Wow, west brom pwning me last 3 gws... 50% of my defence and lose clean sheet at 82,84&87 mins

  30. Flynny
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Who makes way for theo?

    Antonio

    Snoddy

    Thanks

    1. Jasoooooooo
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Antonio because he's playing at RB again

    2. fedolefan
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Snoddy.
