After Chelsea’s 3-0 canter over champions Leicester at Stamford Bridge, we now face five 3pm kick-offs.

Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott will be looking to deal the damage as Swansea roll up to the Emirates in their first match under new manager Bob Bradley.

Man City welcome Everton to the Etihad, where Pep Guardiola has listed Sergio Aguero on the bench ahead of the midweek trip to Barcelona. Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling both recover from injury to be named in the first XI.

Heung-Min Son’s growing band of owners have also been left disappointed after he was named amongst the subs for Spurs’ trip to West Brom. The South Korean international was drafted in by more FPL managers (334,000) than any player in the previous Gameweek.

Hull roll up to Bournemouth ahead of some fine upcoming fixtures that could see Robert Snodgrass emerge as a value option for our five-man midfields.

Elsewhere, Stoke welcome Sunderland to the bet365, allowing us the chance to scout Marko Arnautovic and Xherdan Shaqiri as the Potters prepare for some fine fixtures.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Snodgrass and Antonio (if he blanks) are really tricky to own now. Very nice fixtures ahead, but what to do with them if they just don't perform?

        Sterling's form has tailed off a bit - the Pep effect diminishing

    Stones has been the worst player to own. Having said that, looking at their fixtures, may just keep him and if he plays he plays.

          The worst fires are the slowly smouldering ones at the back of the shed. Before u know it, all the wood would've becomes destroyed and the shed will collapse

      Wouldn't be getting Spurs defenders in right now, esp if Toby is out for a while (wait and see there).

      See what happens with West Ham today and how Antonio does and where he plays.

        On the scoutcast, he was going on that he can't possibly do worse than 21. Seems he might do it this week with a little luck. 😆
