The day concludes with the headline act as champions Chelsea take on early pacesetters Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

The next 90 minutes will be of huge interest for Fantasy managers, with both these teams enjoying improved fixture schedules to follow this encounter.

In attack, Sergio Aguero’s absence with a rib injury throws us a curveball but hands an opportunity for Gabriel Jesus to play his way back into our plans.

Meanwhile in opposition, Alvaro Morata will add the latest chapter to his hugely impressive start to the season. He takes 528,000 new owners into this match, having been the top transfer target ahead of today’s deadline.

There are also key assets on show in midfield, with Eden Hazard auditioning for a role in our squads with this evening’s performance – he makes his first Premier League start.

Elsewhere, David Silva and Raheem Sterling will bid to boost their burgeoning Fantasy stock as the leading scorer and assister among midfielders.

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

    Not sure if it's Chelsea or West Bromwich. 😆

      Not sure how you came to this conclusion. Chelsea are not parking the bus by any means

        Just getting outplayed

        They aren't building any attack either.

    Pogba, Heaton, Hemed, RLC and Morata in pretty much successive weeks. Got stinky luck

    1. Marcos Alonso is god
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah bad luck for me too, want to hear what I did on Wednesday night I brought in Aguero and RLC both injured now. And with Morata injury woes not getting much better

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        That's not bad luck, just good karma - driving up prices midweek and riding your luck. Tough shite!

  3. Ha.

    Sterling a viable option over Silva?

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Considering him

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Will outscore him over the next 5 imo

      • Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        He better be as I have him...

      • Atimis

        Dos has him for few weeks and he's a happy man 😉

          Maybe although hasn't looked brilliant so far.

                It's certainly not a lie. Are you saying he's looked brilliant so far?

          Kane --> Kun (-4) --> Morata (-4) last 2 weeks, anyone else did the same?

            People already looking at getting rid of morata without knowing the full extent of the injury, it could just be precautionary

            I am seriously done with FPL this season. Brought Morata in for Aguero this week.

            Just not my year. Accept it now.

              It's still way too early to give up. I had Kun first 3gws then shipped him for morata. Kun then delivered 4 goals & 2 assists. I then re-swapped them last gw. Morata delivered a hat trick and Kun got injured which cost me 4pts.
              I have countless other examples. The key to success is find a way to quit being affected by bad choices or bad luck. U just have to accept it as an inextricable part of the game and keep shugging along until the pain no longer affects u.
              Over the years, I've trimmed the length of any given pain down from 2-3gws to 2-3hours.. ;)))

              Bit premature but assuming Morata is out for a while;

              A) Morata -> Jesus
              B) Morata + Mkhi -> Lukaku + Sterling (-4)
              C) Other?

              The way I see it, it's probably a grade 1/2 hamstring strain. If this is the case, we're probably looking at anywhere between 1-3 weeks lay off. Luckily, we have international games next week which means the next game for Morata is 14th Oct. That's 2 weeks of the recovery time completed. The chances are Morata will probably only miss one game.

                he's the same price as Jesus, lovely placeholder until then

              Don't feel like watching the second half now after the morata injury, despite owning Silva & otamendi

              I almost did Kun to Morata but chose Lacazette instead. I’ve captained Lacazette so hope my gamble pays off!!

              Where next for the premium forward express then?

              Morata -> Lacazette or Jesus?

              I don't think Moratas injury is as bad as it looks, I think it was more of a twang and he's just trying to rest it before it gets worse. Moratas a clever lad

                Or it could end up like Pogba's...

                Yeah that's what it looked like. The way he gestured to Conte was to say "yeah it's too risky to play with this tightness"

                8 years, 6 months ago

                This is a case of wishful thinking. Could be something minor, could be worse. I'd much prefer if it was only a tweak but unfortunately I'm doubtful. See what comes out in the next few hours.

                  8 years, 6 months ago

                  Even if it's a grade 1 or 2 hamstring strain we're looking at 1-3 weeks out. Thanks to international break, we could just see Morata miss the Palace game. Personally I think he'll make the Palace game.

                  1. Somalion
                    • 16 Years
                    8 years, 6 months ago

                    There's no way to grade it so far. Yes, if it's the very minimal it can be then he won't miss too much. If it's a tear or a recurrent injury, which I think it could be (hammy has been at him before if I recall correct) it may be longer and something he knows he's done instantly hence looking for a sub.

                I'll play the waiting game I think.

                      1-1 with your players scoring and assisting would be enough

                      I do expect Utd to score. Less so Liverpool..

                      Liv scores goals & can't defend, could be a high scoring match! As long as Jose goes for it & doesn't park the bus like last season

                        Jose never goes for anything. The horses will stay locked in.

                      Kane | Lukaku | Jesus

                      Mee, Goldson, Jese will most probably fall. Time to play the WC?
