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.

      This is one of those weeks where if you've done well, its an indication you probably aren't going to do too well over the 38 weeks.
      All the duds in my ML are top.

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

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

        You do realise teams change, transfers can be made and wildcards can be played?

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

          I mean the proven duds.
          Those who finish bottom every year.
          Many have played chips already.

    5. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Is 28 points enough

      1. TorresMagic™

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

    2. Tshelby

  7. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    No origi.no firmino. Not even 15min. + the absurd amt paid for lallana and lovren. Pathetic

  8. SweeSwee
    • 11 Years

    1. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      No one looks like scoring.

  9. Kirwan24
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

  10. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years

    1. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I've seen him a lot, even live live. He's one of the best advanced midfielders in the world.

    2. TJ_777
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Bro he killed it in the Bundesliga give him a few weeks will be gold

    3. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      anyone who claims they knew he existed before he was linked with man united pre season is a liar

      1. Kagawa-san-mia
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

      2. Sheep Flavour
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Or probably BT Sport and football in Europe? 🙂

      3. TJ_777
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Anyone who claims this doesn't watch Bundesliga..

    4. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years

    Knee-jerking is good for the soul.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      As is jerk-chicken

      1. PogChamp

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Wow

    Are you serious?!! That is just so bad and sums up continho

    1. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Sure, sums up the player of the league last season.

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        he's crap frank come on buddy

        1. Frank Black
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Yep...he's crap as you've just seen. Only one of the best advanced midfielders in the world. Someone's right here and someone doesn't know shite about football...guess which one! AMAZING goal by Cou.

          1. KingNidge
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            zzzzz what i said just reaffirms my point he is capable of producing a goal like that 3 or 4 times a season we all know that... he's also anonyomous for the rest of it...

            one of the best advanced midfielders in the world?? replace world with merseyside..

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

  18. Captain Goodwin
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Wow. Coutinho hits it out of the stadium!!

  19. Pinky and Brain
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Coutinho lolol

  20. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    A) Wally -> Payet (own Sakho)
    B) Wally -> Lens

    B would allow me to upgrade Roo to Aguero next gw.

    1. jam sandwich
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      keep the FT then do both Wally to Lens and Roo to Ag next week if he blanks

    2. Nascimento
      • 10 Years

  21. Mr. Grv
    • 11 Years

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Stick

    2. Breadbin
      • 15 Years

      Stick, back in next week.

    3. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      You'll be asking the same question in a couple of weeks if you keep him. Expect heavy rotation. I'd ship him if you have nothing more pressing.

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He was injured. Should be back next week.

      Both goals were shockers by Cech.

    5. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      sticking / he is essential for the cannons

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

  26. shady4revr
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years

    3. Nascimento
      • 10 Years

    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Currently on wally and Rambo. I intend to downgrade 1 to get kun in gw3. I think both will start next gw but I don't like the damage a bad arsenal game does to my team.

    Would you?

    A) save transfer and make both transfers gw3

    B) downgrade now and get kun gw3 (who would you get rid off)

    Cheers

    1. Pinky and Brain
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      As Rambo owner I was happy with his postion and performance today. Looked better than Santi or Ozil IMO. I would save.

    2. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      i've same 2 and will probably go walcott to payet who i thought looked brilliant earlier. west ham with 2 great fixtures too. leaves me exact money to do rooney to aguero for GW4.

      that said i'd say walcott will start next week and is still a good pick

  30. RyanC

    Hi folks. Was at a match so missed the Southampton game earlier. How'd Mane and Cedric play?
