European football ravages Saturday’s programme, leaving us with just half a dozen encounters. The day’s events start with what, on paper, looks a tepid affair: Stoke pay visit to Loftus Road to meet with Harry Redknapp’s newly promoted QPR.

Let’s not dress this up – Fantasy managers are likely to have little or no interest in this one. Having been disappointed by the impact of Bojan after his pre-season hype, we’ve steered clear of Mark Hughes’ Potters, bar skipper Ryan Shawcross who has a place in almost 15% of Fantasy Premier League lineups. As for the R’s, only defender Steven Caulker can boast respectable ownership – indicating that a classic 0-0 stalemate will be the result of choice for many.

The early kick-off takes us into four afternoon clashes, before the day is rounded off with Liverpool’s trip to Upton Park at tea-time. As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for lineup news on that one and all today’s matches.

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

    Sanchez withdrawn

    1. Reedy

  10. palace ash
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Am I going to regret benching Clyne instead of Pieters?

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      possibly, Clyne has a history of away attacking points

    3. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      That is a distinct possibility I am afraid

    1. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I have Yoshi too, but he'll probably be back on the bench next week, depending on Alderweireld's recovery.

      1. CunkOnFPL
        • 13 Years

  28. Barrier Freeman

  29. Billy Gilmore
