With the purr from the Gylfi Sigurdsson bandwagon in our ears, Fantasy managers will now be looking to a batch of three o’clock kick-offs for similar targets. A quintet of afternoon matches await, before Arsenal host Crystal Palace at the Emirates this evening.

Interest in the top bracket looks somewhat limited, although the likes of Stoke and QPR have become unlikely sources of budget and mid-price assets, with the performances of Bojan, Jordan Mutch and Charlie Austin of particular interest. All start this afternoon and, interestingly, Austin is partnered by Loic Remy in the QPR attack, while Thomas Ince appears to be up front for visitors Hull.

Elsewhere, Romelu Lukaku is handed a starting berth at Leicester by Roberto Martinez, despite fitness concerns. Kevin Mirallas is kept on the Everton bench with budget buy Steven Naismith earning a start. Meanwhile, down at the Boleyn Ground, Spurs start with both Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela as expected – although the likes of Eric Dier, Danny Rose and Aaron Lennon are all on the team sheet with Ben Davies, Lewis Holtby and Roberto Soldado amongst the subs.

You can look to out Twitter feed for all the lineup from today’s matches.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    As much as I love Everton and they are pretty much my life, however sad that is. FPL is a great distraction!

    Yes we drew 2-2, which feels like loosing, but I have Naismith with 3 BAPS to come and now I can look foward to a Chambers CS and Rasmey hatty.

    But before then I'm going to go and cry

    GW 1 lineup predictions (Saturday results) :

    West Ham - 10/11
    Stoke - 11/11
    Aston Villa - 10/11
    Sunderland - 9/11
    Everton - 10/11
    Man United - 10/11
    Swansea - 9/11
    Arsenal - 10/11
    Palace - 10/11
    West Brom - 10/11
    Spurs - 9/11
    QPR - 10/11
    Hull - 9/11
    Leicester - 10/11

    So close yet so far.

    Just some notes:

    Would never have guessed Vaz Te starting
    Bent for Weimann wrong
    Thought Baird would be in at the start, again going on pre-season
    Kelly over Mariappa. Thought latter would be fit, and former wouldn't start so early
    Sanogo over Giroud. 50/50 call really
    Dyer/Routledge both missed final friendly so thought Montero would be safe. Thought Bartley was assured for GW1, given recent minutes
    Who could've guessed Lingard for James
    Vergini injured. Hold my hands up on Gomez over Larsson
    Matty James injury, never knew before deadline
    Didn't think Remy was fit enough. Mark changed Traore to SWP 😉
    Dawson over Dier and Bentaleb over Holtby
    Aluko vs Ince was 50/50. Thought Brady had the nod at wing-back over new boy Robertson

    RMP ?
