After Raheem Sterling’s late, late winner earned Man City the points at Bournemouth, Saturday afternoon treats us to a quartet of 3pm encounters.

All eyes turn to St James’ Park as Javier Hernandez’s 511,000+ new owners look for the Mexican to maintain his scoring form.

The most transferred in player for Gameweek 3, the Hammers’ summer signing netted twice in last week’s loss at Southampton and is now braced for a very favourable run of fixtures, with clashes against Huddersfield, West Brom and Swansea between now and Gameweek 7.

A home encounter with Brighton also affords Watford’s man of the moment Richarlison the chance to get among the points again.

The young Brazilian has bagged a goal and assist already and was drafted in by 183,000 FPL managers after serving up 11 points away to Bournemouth last weekend.

Crystal Palace and Swansea go head-to-head at Selhurst Park as both go in search of their first goal of the season.

The Eagles’ Christian Benteke is the man most likely to do the damage – he’s been captained by 59,000 FPL managers against a side that ranked bottom for shots conceded inside the box across the first two Gameweeks.

Huddersfield budget pair Aaron Mooy and Steve Mounie will look to justify their early-season bandwagons as Southampton visit the John Smith’s Stadium.

Over 286,000 have drafted in the former on the back of his goal and assist over the first two Gameweeks.

David Wagner’s men may struggle to rack up a third straight shutout, though – Southampton were placed inside the top three for both shots and efforts inside the box in the opening two rounds of matches.

    Memba looking pretty great value.

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Till their defence gets back from injuries.

  2. FDMS All Starz

    8 years, 5 months ago

    Atsu at 5.0 looks to be a bargain this season, looked very good today should've scored and seems to be a regular now and playing very high up the pitch. Thoughts?

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I agree, if I wildcard this week he is in

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years

      Competes with place with their record signing doesnt he?

            Murphy

      2. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years

        That's my concern

    3. Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Much rather have Mooy, Richalison, Knockaert.

      1. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        That million could go a long way for similar players

        1. Postman Ty
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          fair point. 1m is huge in defence.

    4. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Think I'm going to do Carroll to Atsu

  3. bojack
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    De Boer thought he could just waltz in and transform Palace into some kind of free flowing, total football juggernaut.

    Well guess what, Big Sam is a better manager than your arrogance might let you admit. There's a reason he played the way he did.

    Gone by Guy Faulkes!

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years

      A trend with Dutch managers to be arrogant, remember van gaal

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Guus Hiddink was good...he was quite humble

    2. Ramboros
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Are you arrogant for trying to get the team to play your football?

      1. bojack
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I think it's arrogant to assume that you'll turn an outfit like Palace into Brazil overnight yes.

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Yes, turning a club into a country is always going to be a hard feat

    Ritchie owner, are you keeping him ?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Are you?

    2. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Might downgrade to Atsu

    3. MTPockets

        Not sure. Want to see some highlights, stats.

      • CloudSky

        I am. Didnt even get a peno yet.

        Hes going to drop thought isnt he? Id like to keep after today tbh, JWP needs to go for me

      Current Team: 13 from 4.
      Current Bench: 24 from 4.

      Solid.

      1. Pooodle
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Ouch. I'm 15 from 4 of my starting players and 16 from 3 on the bench...

        1. Yellin' in my Ear
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          23 from 4 playing
          16 from 3 on bench

          1. Yellin' in my Ear
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Plus a non playing Fraser so 16 from four.

      People getting rid of Ake/Daniels seemed a strange one to me - surely you bought them recognising their fixtures and had a plan? I bought Suttner for rotation with Ake and he came in today with a cleanie!

      Benching Daniels I can understand, but better to have him in the squad and hope for an improvement in value.

      1. Pooodle
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I kept Ake this week and played him but wish I'd taken him out for a hit! You're right that we got them knowing GWs 3 and 4 were tough but we hadn't thought they would blank over the first two fixtures, and when they did suddenly 5m seems expensive.

      2. Lord.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I had always planned on benching Ake for GWs 3 & 4. i'm more worried about Kompany with Liverpool up next.

      3. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I sold Ake for Hegazi, not only for value, but also because I just don't see Bournemouth and him providing the same returns as last season.

    6. Pooodle
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks to everyone on here who said to play Suttner this week - shame I didn't listen and played Ake for his "attacking threat". Shocker

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        no shocker imo

    7. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Trippier now? with 0 in the bank and van Aanholt who needs to go and will fall tonight!
      or wait for the internationals and potential incomes in spurs defense?
      I still dont have Jones too..

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I'd wait to see what happens with Aurier

        1. Pooodle
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          And definitely wait until Spurs have played at the very least

      2. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Wait, or get someone else in tonight.

        The Southampton defence says hi.

    8. lf
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Suttner, Schindler and Stephens: Triple S. I survived GW3!

      Now I need to do something with KDB, jeez

    9. Rainer

          "Ginger deepthroat" is not something I'd ever want to type into Google 😆

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Just done it, interesting results.

      lukaku owners but non captainers, what sort of score we looking for?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        As low as possible.

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        1

      3. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years

        7

      4. Butcher
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        1 goal will do

      5. H-SF
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I'd say 1 goal is ideal, but I won't complain if he scores more.

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

        Be happy with just the 1 goal

      7. Lord.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I just want Kane to score more

    11. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      WC'd out Daniels, Bertrand & Atsu, benched Elliott & Mbemba.......ghost ships sail past 😀

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Pure misfortune my friend

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Or just punk management? 😉

      2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Transfered out KdB, Jesus and Daniels for a hit...

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Don't tell KdB got point?

          1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            No idea, turned it off after the 2 other jerks had scored..

      3. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        So you're saying a potted plant would've managed your team to greater effect this week? 😉

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          A steaming turd would've done better 😛

      4. Clump
        • 11 Years

        Brutal 🙁

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Beyond the point of caring 😀

      5. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years

        Lesson: don't WC early and trust your players

      6. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Comfort is that there will be many tales of woe this week . Things can't get any worse though - or can they ?
        Have you cooked your tea yet ?

    12. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Juve 2 down within 7 minutes.....

    13. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      What's a better combo?

      A) Jesus, Alonso, Forster
      B) Kane, Trippier, Lossl

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        B

      2. VFORVANDETA
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        A

      3. Diva
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        B

      4. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        If Kane hits the ground running tommorow with a brace or more I'd go B if not then A

    14. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Doing KDB to Pogba with FT later on
      would you take a hit to do Dann to Trippier along with that?

      1. ThisPostsOnFire
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Not with Aurier coming in

    15. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Well done KDB owners for sticking by him and getting his haul

      1. Wrong Captain Again
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        hahahaha no

      2. Dr. DOOM
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Hahaha

      3. Rover
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Well, 3 points can be loosely termed a haul

      4. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I don't have him but this is a particularly crap post.

    16. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Thats my 2nd.and 3rd clean sheet today form 12 attempts. Pretty poor by all accounts.

    17. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      KDB to Alli
      Carroll to Atsu (after break)

      For free. Done.

      Goodnight.

      1. L'Aeroplanino
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        gw not even finished

      2. ThisPostsOnFire
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Wouldn't go to Alli just yet. Hasn't looked sharp in spite of his goal v Newcastle.

    18. BrutalLogiC
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Forster/Stephens owners, cheers!

    19. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't like to be wildcarding at the moment, so many uncertainties.
      Got KdB but really not excited by any alternatives for next GW and short term fixtures look a bit meh all round for the big guns.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Alli/Eriksen/Mane all look good with good fixtures

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Eriksen, Mane & Pogba all sitting in midfield already. Don't fancy a double up or Chelsea.
          Arsenal only appeal but who do you touch?
          KdB may drop tonight as well.

      2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        KDB to anyone would be good

      3. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Its a dangerous week.
        Deadline day to come.
        Never know if new signings will be first choice immediately or not

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, wait till then and suffer the KdB drop.

      4. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        GW4 is a rotation nightmare anyways. South American players will arrive back later and the top sides will have one eye on their first Champions League game

      5. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Ontjink

      6. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Agree about the wildcard, Eriksen more promising than KDB for 0.5m, thankfully I did that last week so FT will be used on Trippier if Aurier signs or I may just bench him for Suttner

      7. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Think silva > Kdb & Jesus > Aguero

    20. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Maguire 18 pointer incoming

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        You spelt Mahrez wrong

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Mahrez has a poster of Maguire on his bedroom wall

      2. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        18 pinter after needing to drown his sorrows perhaps 😉

    21. Sánchez
      • 13 Years

      Rosenoir got 45 minutes today 😀

      1. shearer9
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Was there an injury?

    22. H-SF
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      this is why I saved 2 FT's!

      can do 3 for a -4

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        If you did 1 last week, you could still do 2 this week for a -4 which nets the same ammount of transfers across 2 GWs.

    23. Del Monte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Would you wildcard this side?

      Foster Myhill

      Bailly Bertrand Moreno Lascelles Tuanzebe

      Eriksen Mane Willian Xhaka Carroll

      Kane Lukaku Austin

      I would 6/7 from the starting 11 so to me this suggests a wildcard.

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Austin why?

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          How many FTs? Moreno, Xhaka, Austin the obvious issues

      2. L'Aeroplanino
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        decent enough

      3. justmatt
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        No, only really Austin, Xhaka & Moreno look a concern to me. Can be sorted in a couple GWs.

      4. Meppelfield
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I think your team looks good to be honest, nothing that a hit or two cannot fix.

    24. Ronny17
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Need to ship KdB - too early to switch for Hazard on the basis he'll be back after internationals?

        I'm actually considering this move.

        Just noticed 68% of top 10k captained Lukaku.
        Didn't expect that

          Why?

              Surprised at the commitment vs. Leicester.

            They are in the top 10K by not owning Kane.

            I doubt that the top 10K in GW37 would be doing that.

          Thinking of KDB/Willian out for Sanchez/Atsu (-4)Thougts?

            Willian has been Chelsea's best attacker and Sanchez hasn't even played yet 😆

          Gabbi out? for who? 8 to spend

            Kane.

            1. Sánchez
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              Stretching that 8.0 a bit far

                He can take someone else out innit.

              I'm really thinking of going fodder and upgrade Carroll, the options look depressing.

            It's a virtual online game and death is a bit of an over reaction.
