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.

    • 15 Years

  16. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Those 40% + Clyne owners are going to bump the average up by a couple...

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

      Yeah , gonna be a slow climb back

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

      If you want to be a good FF manager you need to be better than 99% of people on this site. Make your own decisions ... Dont blame others for you copying every1 else 😛

      1. Veggente85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I'm still sure that my final squad (without tadic and coutinho) is better. But apparently not this GW 😛

  17. RyanC
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Did all the Gomez benchers actually contemplate starting him then? Genuinely curious.

    1. A La Pelle
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I put him on bench and played Francis instead.

    2. Huddersfield
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      planned to bench him GW1 and play him vs Bou Home

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

        Cool. Good shout.

        1. Huddersfield
          • 10 Years

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

    I started him because he was a 4.5 route into pool's defense. I figured worst case scenario he doesn't play and I have lescott off the bench

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

  28. RyanC
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Sorry, but... 37 points and Aguero to play (or not) suddenly not looking all that bad.

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

      Looking good , whatever

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago
