After yesterday’s disappointing start, many Fantasy managers will be looking for some of Sunday’s heavy hitters to come to the rescue.

A couple of 1.30pm kick-offs get us underway. Community Shield winners Arsenal welcome West Ham to the Emirates before Steven McClaren takes charge of Newcastle for the first time in the top-flight as in-form Southampton roll up to St James’ Park.

Stoke play host to big-spending Liverpool in the late kick-off, with Brendan Rodgers’ side looking to immediately avenge their 6-1 mauling at the Britannia in the final league fixture of 2014/15.

        Once Arsenal concede and Ozil does well I'm happy in FPL terms. If Arsenal lose I'm happy as a

          • 16 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Ramsey CM with Coq

          Ox on one side, Ozil on the other.

    9. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      A bit off topic. Do people expect Mings to get into the first XI soon?

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Club Record singing should be in the first team imo

      2. @FuzzyWarbles
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        record signing at the time wasnt he? they cant splash that kind of cash in a promo season without designs on thinking he is 1st choice.

      3. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah that was my thinking but he had plenty of pre season with the team no?

      4. Shipstontrev
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yes, Howe said he wasn't fully match fit, but would be contention for the Livetpool game.

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Sweet as. At least I'm confident my squad are all nailed on as of now then

    10. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Giroud's a winker.

    11. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Bellerin had to get a knock didn't he. Targett off the bench isn't too bad though so here is hoping WHU score 🙂

        Walcott cappers......well I shall wait until the end of the match to see how that pans out.

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Walcott's gone for me mate, far too much uncertainty and competition. I mean yeah he could start next week again Palace but 9M is not something you can waste.

          1. Worzel Gummidge
              10 years, 6 months ago

              Agreed, but I am hoping to salvage this week first and foremost. If he bangs in 2 it wouldn't be too bad.....

          Payet notched 21 assists in Ligue 1 last season.

          My days I am a happy Sakho owner, could be wonderful.

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Hope Sakho gets off to a good start, even though I benched him.

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

              Should see his price go up anyways so that would be nice.

              1. Art Vandelay
                • 15 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

                Yep, Benched him for Mahrez so not complaining 😆

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

                  Understandable, well done 😀

          Sanchez to come on before Wally?

          1. Mavric Marco
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            No

        6. Birdman77
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          So Bellerin was a good pick. If I have Coates on the bench do I get his -1?

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Yes, sorry. 🙁

            1. Birdman77
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              Haha thanks mate. I was excited to see Walcott benched too. That's 13.5 mil spent intelligently.

              1. Birdman77
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

                Actually it was 14.5 mil

        9. Wouter
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Walcott would've got to that

          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Walcott captainers like myself. It could be worse you know. None of the captains have really exploded yet so no major damage done. #positivethinking

          1. Mavric Marco
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Like it!

          2. Worzel Gummidge
              10 years, 6 months ago

              Agreed, but I was hoping to get further ahead of the crowd. Some you win, some you lose. Will come on for 30 mins so hopefully gets a goal or 2.

            • 12 Years

            Walcott(c), Mane and Sakho. Give me something please!

            As a Walcott owner I feel completely trolled

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

              By yourself?

              We all knew the risks 😉

                To be fair there has been a fair bit of pro-Walcott propaganda on here. When I called him an almighty punt I even had Jonty out making the case for him. 😕

                  similar propaganda to Bourmouth are attacking / Ritchie is essential. There are evil minds at work here

                  Got to know what is propoganda and know what the probabilities are based on past history and projections. I is easy to be persuaded by the powerful social norms here to have a template team.
