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.

    Evening all. Was away for the day so few questions that I was wondering about!

    1) How is 49pts (before bonus) looking atm compared to the predicted average?
    2) Morata went off injured, did it look serious or just a knock?
    3) Was Bailly just rested?

      Apologies if these questions have been asked lots of times already!

      Just above average on here

      Hamstring. Will have to be assessed this week

      Yeah rested

    How long is Kun likely to be out for?

    1. Teror
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      2-4 weeks

      1. Sánchez
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        Seems fast for broken rib

    2. Big P

      Couod only miss one more matvh

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        Think I'll try to hold WC until GW9, and bring him back in then

  3. Teror

    I'm quite pleased with my decision to bring Trippier in for Suttner this week. 12 points plus 2 bonus. He didn't score a goal like Davies but I feel he'll get more assists than Davies over the course of the season. Gambled on the fact that Aurier will play in the CL after playing like such a turkey last week.

    1. Lovren an elevator
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Are you sure he'll be ahead of Aurier though? He made that mistake, but he's a quality player

      1. Teror
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        I'm not sure but I thought I'd risk it since I couldn't afford Davies. He'll play for the next couple weeks for sure. I've got half a mind to wildcard in GW12, so could potentially upgrade to Davies if need be.

    2. Ha.
      • 11 Years

      Nothing to do with the suspension...

  4. Ajax Hamsterdam

    i think what makes fl so hard this year is the lack of cheap budget forwards, is abraham just a waste of money ?? thanks

    1. QueefParkRangers
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Yep, avoid

    2. Teror
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      I think anyone under 8.5 is a waste of money.

  5. Big P

    Despite all the rotation, will Sane outscore Siggy between now and the end of the season?

    I've been offered Siggy in exchange for Leroy.

    Keep Sane despite rotation? Or trade and hopw Siggy/ Everton come good

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Keep Sane

    2. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Personally, I'm surprised you need to ask this (no offence meant).

      Keep Sane.

      1. Big P
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        I like players that I know will start, which is what is tempting me to let Leroy go

        1. Reuser
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 15 days ago

          Fair comment - but Pep has been rotating far less this season. I think until this week, he had only made 10 changes all season.

          Sane missed the start of the season - I understand, this due to minor nose surgery during the summer. Has pretty much been a fixture since returning.

          Siggy and Everton will come good eventually - but how many points will Sane have got by then?

  6. Sánchez
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 15 days ago

    Jesus or Lacazette in for Morata?

    This will be asked 1000 times over next 2 weeks. Has to get its own article. Hot Topic at very least.

    Vote now .....

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Jesus.

    2. Lovren an elevator
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Jesus

    3. My Mums Athletic
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Jesus

    4. Ha.
      • 11 Years

      Jesus

    5. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Ok. Maybe no article needed
      😆

      1. ALTOID11
        • 10 Years

        When Lacazette nets a hatrick tomorrow, problems

    6. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Eeveryone will say Jesus until Lacazette scores tomorrow

    7. Disco Pat

      9 years, 15 days ago

      I have both with Kane presently. Think lukaku returns will be low over the next 4 to 5 matches. Doesn't help your situation but consider getting both. Also what about bats? If Miranda out and they've list ground today Chelsea need to get back to their normal formations so bars could go up top. Frees up funds to upgrade midfield.

      1. Disco Pat
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        *morata (autocorrect on spelling)

      2. Sánchez
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        The fact willian came on today renders him a non option. Proper slap in the face that

        1. Disco Pat
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 15 days ago

          It was but Chelsea lacked a focal point until he came on. Conte might play him up top for league match if willian plays over international break and then play William in champions league mid week. Also consider the travel distance for Jesus and Lacazette and their game time over international break if choosing between them.

    8. Teror
      • 11 Years

      Jesus fcking Christ

    9. Pierce34
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Wait for news on Morata obviously.

      1. Pierce34
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        If it's just a tweak and he's fine after the break, everyone will want him vs. Palace.

  7. My Mums Athletic
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 15 days ago

    Bottomed (ish)

    Morata, Eriksen, Naughton => Kane, Richie, Bavies

    Team as is:

    Forster (Elliott)
    Jones, Cedric, Dawson (Naughton, Mbemba)
    Eriksen, Silva, Salah, Brady (Carroll)
    Lukaku, Mortata, Firmino

    Thoughts?

    1FT and 0.3ITB

    1. Junior ⚽
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Good moves but for a -8 is a bit worrying.

      1. My Mums Athletic
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        I'm a bit worried about my team

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Spell Ritchie correctly. Really annoys me, they've done that at my new job.

  8. Junior ⚽
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 15 days ago

    DDG
    Dawson Mee Bavies Monreal
    Salah Ramsey Mkhi
    Lukaku Kane Firmino

    Elliot RLC Carroll Long

    2FT or to Wildcard.
    Jesus and Silva easily attainable.

  9. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 15 days ago

    Looking forward to tomorrow with Salah Ritchie Brady kola and lacazette playing.
    63 becomes ?

    1. Junior ⚽
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      90

    2. My Mums Athletic
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      ...an even better score!

      I need Firmino and Salah to crush it or I'm out of LMS!!

    3. Disco Pat
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      I've three of those but Lacazette as Captain. On 46 at minute.

  10. ZeBestee
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 15 days ago

    looks like there wont be many price risers during the IB. Kane and a few others

  11. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 15 days ago

    Had always planned to WC this week, but now think my team looks alright with a 4 or 8 point hit. Is an 8 point hit better than a WC?

    1. Champione
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      WC better than -8 at this point of the season. Could always take that -8 later

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        might even be able to do a -4. Have no City or Chelsea but no injuries elsewhere and a few recent green arrows

  12. purple.emu

    • 10 Years

    With a template ish team ...... Kaku Kane Mykhi Eriksen Davies DeGea Ritchie etc

    Is there a need to WC?

    No city and Chelsea coverage.....

    Loads of people must be having the same thoughts

    If its not broke....

  17. diesel001
    • 9 Years

    Taken out Alli and Xhaka to avoid the price drops. On a WC so worth protecting the TV.

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      you still have xhaka?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        Brought him in this GW as a 1 week punt knowing I would WC. Playing Brighton at home so a chance he might get an assist.

    Was out earlier, how bad is Morata's injury?

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years

      Looked not that bad

      1. Siggy in the Middle
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        Taken off just for precaution?

        1. Bubz
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 15 days ago

          It looked like he started the game with tightness, and it started to feel worse so he called himself off

          1. Siggy in the Middle

        Wimmer and Mbemba could quite easily end up not playing in a few weeks. Would downgrade atsu to Carroll and use the spare funds to upgrade Wimmer.

      Indeed.

  21. Bring the Cavalry
    • 9 Years

    Really can't decide to go Eriksen > hazard on WC. Got Kane and Bavies but don't have any Chelsea for there nice fixtures.
    Stupid move?

    1. eoan
      • 9 Years

      Yes please, I would also like to know about Eriksen or Hazard.

    2. Flynny
      • 11 Years

      Morata or bust as far as Chelsea attack goes for me

  22. Bubz

    1. Yozzer

      Fair play to the guy for giving it a go i'v a lot of respect for anyone who gets in the ring

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        Absolutely, if he steps in there and fights, I completely agree. However it is beyond deluded to think at 38 years old with no prior experience to become a pro boxer. Literally mental.

        1. KingNidge
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 15 days ago

          Think this is something to attempt to replace the buzz of being a pro footballer..a lot of them complain about not being able to fill that void and turn to drink and drugs instead.. fair play he's a big lad and in great shape i don't think he's delusional enough to think he can world titles lol rather learn keep fit and be competitive to an extent

          1. Bubz
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 15 days ago

            Yeah well when you put it like that, especially after what happened with his wife, I back him in doing it. I stand by it being ridiculous, and he wont achieve what he's said he wants to, but if it helps him as a person then by all means, go on lad.

            1. KingNidge
              • 11 Years

    The lack of cheap forwards is actually coming true

  24. Delph & Safety

    WCd earlier straight away. Now starting to regret my decision. Help.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Too late. Don't understand why you'd do it if you weren't certain. People getting caught up in the int. break nonsense.

      1. Delph & Safety
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        Well the fixtures swing and I had players lined up to leave my team and players to come in.

        But I’ve got 59 with Salah and Kolasinac to play and it’s a good GW for me

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Concentrate on price rises without losing players you want to keep with profit.

    3. Patch

      This gaming is making me so indecisive!!! I was so close to triggering too...

  25. Teror
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 15 days ago

    Sterling looked much better than Silva today. I think I'm going to take a punt on him, ladz.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      same here

    2. Delph & Safety
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Not sure I’d agree but they were both brilliant. Sterling does look like a good option at that price.

        Sterling's returns even with limited pitch time have really been excellent. He looks like he REALLY wants to impress Pep as well.

    Gomes Elliot
    Kola Jones Davies Mee Long
    Alli Salah Mkhi Atsu Carroll
    Kane Jesus Chicha

    2ft 0,1 itb

    Is it worth wildcarding now?

      Nah. Mkhi and Alli your only problems IMO. At the right time transfer them.

      Team looks deece. Would use those 2FT's and a hit to shor out Mkhi, Alli & Chica

    What a bunch of jokers.

      The table isn't really worth looking at til 10-15 games in. Lots of clowns in overinflated ranks early on. I'm on 98K and I'm crap.

    So I would've scored more points with my GW6 team today then my wildcard team did. Confident my current team is set up better for the long run though. How bad did Morata's injury look I didn't watch the game? Also how is 53 points before bonus looking?

      53 looks fine. It didn't look like he was in major pain. Probably just a knick knock.

    Do you think it is time for WC? Do you see any immediate improvements?

    0 ITB / 1 FT

    Foster / Elliot
    Kolasinac / Cedric / Dunk / Naughton / Mee
    Salah / Miki / Richarlison / Ritchie / Carroll
    Kane / Jesus / Morata

    Thanks in advance guys!

    Early transfer thoughts.
    Lukaku Mkhi Firmino to Jesus Vardy Silva -4
    Looks good but could easily backfire.

    1. Teror

      I'm going to keep Lukaku. He'll nick a goal even in the tougher fixtures.
