All eyes will be on Arsenal this afternoon, with the Gunners travelling to Old Trafford in the first of their double Gameweek fixtures. Meanwhile, Man City look to strengthen their hold on second place when they lock horns with Swansea at the Liberty in the earlier lunchtime kick off.

Swansea face a tough task trying to contain the league’s form forward, Sergio Aguero, when the Sky Blues pay a visit. The Argentinian marksman boasts eight goals in five starts for City, having registered a hat-trick and two assists last time out. David Silva has also delivered strong Fantasy returns in recent weeks, notching one goal and three assists in his last two starts. However, Garry Monk’s may just have an ace of their own up their sleeves, with leading striker Bafetimbi Gomis scoring a dramatic late winner on his return from injury against Arsenal. The former Lyon marksman tallied four goals in as many appearances and will threaten a City defence seeking their fourth shut-out in five Gameweeks.

Manchester United recovered from a three-match losing streak last weekend, recording a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Juan Mata (four goals in seven) and Marouane Fellaini (three goals in eight) account for the Red Devils’ only two goals in the past four Gameweeks, in light of Wayne Rooney failing to net in five. Olivier Giroud is experiencing a similar downturn in form for visitors Arsenal – having drawn blanks in four consecutive matches; Alexis Sanchez has partly compensated for Giroud’s demise, with three goals in five starts. Meanwhile, Aaron Ramsey has been the North Londoners’ most consistent player of late, delivering attacking returns in four of his previous seven outings. The Welshman is a slight injury doubt going into today’s encounter, with Fantasy managers eagerly anticipating Arsene Wenger’s teatime teamsheet.

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

    5. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      United players were all the rage pre-season. "Easy fixtures"

      1. Retrosynth
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I think the best bit is I haven't been bothered at all. Never thought about getting anyone in.

    6. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I got McNair in as a punt back in October but it failed spectacularly

  11. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          It's only one point.

    5. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Milner only 1 goal no assists and a YC!!

    6. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      10 points looks so much better than 9 😡

    7. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      No point trying to interpret the BPS. The guy who adds them probably plays the game too.

  12. GREENDREAMS11
    • 16 Years

  13. Jafooli

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

  14. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Alexis' movement off the ball is absolute class

  15. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    If you have 3 Arsenal midfielders, do you want them to keep a clean sheet?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Nope

    2. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      nope

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Not if you're a top 10k guy I don't think.

    4. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yes and no. It depends which game you're talking about.

      I am investigating ways to have a CS in one and not the other.

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      A clean sheet worth 4 points if you captained one of them

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I cant figure out if thats good for overall rank or not

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        But pretty much everyone will have at least one midfielder, so you may as well call that 2 points advantage max. And then there's a load of people with at least one defender which gets rid of your advantage,

        I don't know the exact numbers, but I can't see it being worth it.

    6. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      this game yes

  16. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

              • 15 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      It's a fair question.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

    3. Long Juan Silva

  18. Shearer & Sutton

  20. Long Juan Silva
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Will Benteké's gametime be limited next GW with Villa safe and FA Cup final in mind?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      You'd think so. No point risking him.

      1. Long Juan Silva
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I'll have to go Lolkaku or Kolarov then
