Sunday’s four matches get underway with a lunchtime double-header as champions Chelsea host Everton, while West Brom take on Stoke City at The Hawthorns.

Some Fantasy managers will be torn by the Stamford Bridge meeting. The Blues defence are well backed via Fantasy Premier League investment in David Luiz (25.9% ownership) and, of course, Marcos Alonso (18.2% ownership). T

he Spaniard heads into today’s contest off the back of his devastating two goals at Wembley against Spurs, having picked up over 245,000 new owners ahead of Gameweek 3.

However, Everton’s Wayne Rooney has also soared in popularity following back-to-back goals. He claims a 20.4% ownership ahead of the Chelsea clash and is the most popular captain pick on show in the early kick-offs: 93,000 have trusted him with the armband.

Meanwhile, at The Hawthorns, there is no question of the preferred outcome from a Fantasy perspective.

West Bromwich Albion will be seeking a third successive clean sheet against Stoke and boast the Gameweek’s second most popular transfer target in their line-up.

The towering Ahmed Hegazi has picked up over 504,000 new owners ahead of today’s clash and already ranks fourth for transfers in ahead of Gameweek 4 before taking to the pitch.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    0-0 will do me fine.

  2. More Tragic
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Morata more points than Lolaku,
    90 mins less played

    1. FDMS All Starz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Think Utd will score more this season than Chelsea so avoiding Lukaku can be dangerous

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      And arguably tougher fixtures

    3. red forever
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd still rather have lukaku thanks

  3. TheBusDriver
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Everton need to bring CL instead of that useless Sandro.

    1. Neeskens Under Matip
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Indeed, CL and a sigurdson set piece are there best hope!

  4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which combo is better
    Kane +mkhi
    Or lukaku +Eriksen
    ??

  5. ★Kuntheman★
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Should be a concern for any owner when the manager says "I'm not going to change." when things aren't working

    1. Pigeon

      Enlighten me

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not happy about City's situation. Chelsea showing us how it's done vs Everton.

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Helps having 11 men tbf.

          1. Stats Don\'t Lie
            9 years, 1 month ago

            City played with 11 for a whole half too...

  6. The Royal Robin
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku > Morata incoming?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lacazette for me

      1. The Royal Robin
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Mmm, good shout with fixtures. You gonna do it?

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Not anymore after this! 😀

    2. DeathoftheParty

      Keep the change ya filthy animal...

    3. shearer9
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Off the back of one bad game for Kaku? I'm gonna have Kaku, Kane and Morata on my WC unless Kane blanks again.

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Get 2 out of them. Three is too much. I think Eriksen is enough spurs cover

  7. Neeskens Under Matip
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Rooney can't tackle anymore, he has to push the player over everytime, even though his footwork is great...

    1. Yankee Toffee
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He is frustrated atm.

  8. Sz21
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Willian to Fabregas a crazy move??

    Willian mins at risk for next GW prob.

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      And so it begins

    2. CloudSky
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same for Cesc.

    3. JustClasie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes a crazy move

    4. JustClasie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Willian has looked far more dangerous than fabregas tbh

      1. Sz21
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Will he keep his place when Hazard comes back?

    5. Holmes
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Willian's minutes arent at risk, Pedro's minutes are

      1. Sz21
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I hope so!

      2. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What makes you so sure of this? Pedro was above him in the pecking order last season.

        1. Holmes
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He got ahead in pecking order after Willian got injured and changing a working starting XI is probably not Conte's cup of tea.

      3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Conte likes Pedro more

    6. Debauchy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Willian been far better than Fab and Pedro.

      1. Sz21
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So you would be confident that Willian keeps starting even with Hazard back??

    7. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Crazy both are risky. Bakoyoko will be preffered

  9. G-Whizz

    The Stoke formation here got me the giggles, I know they say formations aren't accurate but 😆
    https://anewpla.net/fpl/live/30/

  10. President Giggs
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Definitely going to consider Lukaku -> Morata and doubling up on Pogba and Mikhy in midfield on my eventual wildcard. Once Hazard is back in the team, Morata will be gold.

    1. KickIt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, seriously considering the same

    2. FDMS All Starz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Will he? Think hazard will be selfish and is on pens

      1. President Giggs
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Don't think Lukaku will be on pens anymore either. Morata's movement is fantastic, and with Hazard often viewed as the main threat in the Chelsea team, he'll have lots of space to operate.

        1. FDMS All Starz
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He missed one, it's harsh if they take him off pens now

      2. That Was Easy!
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Haz is perhaps the least selfish player around. He even comments on it all the time, totally happy to not be the goalscorer.

      3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Get both hazard and Morata.
        Essential for me

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looking at the exact same moves. With my change in the bank this also allows firmino > lacazette for me.

      Kane Laca Morata front 3...

      1. That Was Easy!
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Lukaku top of the league in goals, big chances, shots in the box, goal attempts, shots on target. If there's ever a time to say drop someone "at your peril" it's now with Lukaku.

        1. :
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Lukaku's a hasbeen. Morata is the future 😀

  11. Agger
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Berahino to score his first goal to make it 1-0.
    You know it's going to happen..

    1. The Royal Robin
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ssshh...

    2. George Sillett
      9 years, 1 month ago

      OK Nostradamus

    3. Rogue Todd
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Tell the bookies with your wallet, not us

  12. shearer9
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Morata or Jesus?

    1. The Royal Robin
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What about Laca?

      1. Holmes
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He has not scored a goal yet, so not an option 😉

        1. The Wise Owl
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He did GW 1

        2. DoobNoob
          9 years, 1 month ago

          yes he has

          1. Holmes
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Not this week

            Thats how things work here

      2. shearer9
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hasn't looked that dangerous but will review the data after the Lpool game.

    2. Cok3y5murf
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus is 10.4 and isn't nailed

      1. shearer9
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Seems to be nailed when City have 11 men.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          9 years, 1 month ago

          'Seems to be' is not good enough when Pep is the manager.

  13. TheBusDriver
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lol at those selling Lukaku.

  14. ★Kuntheman★
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why are people dropping Lukaku lmfao

    1. Rogue Todd
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He scored zero points yesterday - has to go obviously.

    2. Freddo
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You know Lukaku will be sold as soon as Kane nails himself as the default C and some other premium hits form, Morata staking his claim.

      1. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I agree. As soon as folk settle on Kane as default captain, then Lukaku will come under greater scrutiny.

        I'm looking at doubling on United's two mids, with Jones at the back. It frees up the second heavy hitter slot for a form/fixtures candidate - like Lacazette for the next four.

        If Sanchez starts and looks the part, I'm seriously considering it.

        1. Freddo
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Two defenders, two mids, there's strong options from United this year to help you get brave and take his ownership on.

          No captaincy, no likey.

        2. President Giggs
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I can very much see rotating between Laca, Morata and Lukaku as the fixtures permit being a solid strategy this year. Can't have them all, and I think Kane will hold a spot in our frontlines permanently.

    3. Numb
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You're only as good as your last GW in FPL.

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

  15. More Tragic

    stunning midfield possible too

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      Laca shit. Get lukaku

  16. The Royal Robin

      45 minutes without a hattrick or assist, getting rid asap for Azpi

    5. Wilshere Knowledge
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Quiet.

    1. The Royal Robin
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Crikey. My attention went more to Kane's stats there. Surely he's going to score today?

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kane doesn't appear when you filter using the past 2 game weeks

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          9 years, 1 month ago

          This is because he hasn't started today. Set it to All Matches.

      very likely if Everton don't improve in 2nd half

    2. JustClasie

  24. Cabellafan
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Can Morata cover for Lukakus points? I certainly think so. Looking to wc after this round to ship Lukaku for Morata, free up funds to get Sanchez without crashing my midfield, and also to Get Alonso. Sorry, just thinking out load

    1. JustClasie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Idk why you would get sanchez tbh. Sure he will be good but eriksen, alli, mane, salah, mkhi, pogba are way way better value.

      1. Cabellafan
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You can certainly FIT one of those with Sanchez in your midfield. Sanchez is the most explosive of those as the other will share points. He can destroy teams by himself, and his ownership will be skyhigh. Will see today where he plays

  25. Sailboats

    Gonna trigger my WC tonight. Will be plenty faffing about in the next 2 weeks but I'll definitely be tripling on United and Chelsea.

    Imbalanced I know, but what do you think of this draft?:

    Foster, Elliot
    Alonso, Luiz, Jones, Cedric, Fernandez
    Pogba, DSilva, RLC, Carroll, Chalobah
    Kane, Lukaku, Morata

      ignore Pool at your peril

    2. JustClasie

      Midfield really hurts my eyes.

    3. The Royal Robin

      That midfield hurts my eyes.

      1. Andy_Social
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I've been going 5-2-3 anyway. This would be 523/433

        No Pool, No Arsenal, one City. I'm fine with that.

      Three 4.5 mids...yikes...no thanks 🙂

    5. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Imbalanced. You're fooked the minute Eriksen, Sanchez and the like turn it on, and you won't have a wc to remedy

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And pool also

      2. Andy_Social
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn't be transferring too often, so I should have 2FT if one of the front 3 flop and a big mid emerges.

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Relying on yourself having 2FT to get yourself out of a hard place is dodgy

    6. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Terrible midfield, £4.5m mids are for bench fodder and 2 point auto subs

  29. F4L

    The inevitability of Kane's haul today is painful. Ugh
