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.

        depends on Chambers

        the chance of a goal v Pool is not enough to make me keep him

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, he's gone shortly for me. Probably for Chambers

  2. rickardinho

    Well at least my H2H opponent had Shawcross 0 points which gives me some satisfaction after selling Caulker.

      Still on the bench was replaced by Ox late though unsure as to why

      1. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I think they made a mistake on the team sheet...

      2. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Just being rested apparently. Wrong team sheet given out in the first place.

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          So no injury at least then

        According to Sky he pulled up in the warm up.

    Good job I ditched Chester this week

  6. Darsh
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    For those who missed it, Chamberlain replaces Sanchez in the starting eleven. Sanchez on bench.

    1. KOKAK
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Rub it in, dude!

      1. Darsh
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Haha sorry

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      One subsitution wasted 😉

  7. rickardinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    I can understand that deflections usually aren't OG's, but when the direction of the ball is changed almost 180 degrees from the header then surely that is more than a deflection...

    1. theunwiseone
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Nope. GOAL 🙂 wooooo Caulker

    2. Darsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Angry Caulker seller? I think so...

      1. rickardinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Haha, yes, but I'm all for the rules being followed....

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Those are the rules. If the shot is on target it's a goal.

    3. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Would it have gone in if not for the 'deflection'? If yes then it's a goal.

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

        i think the only relevant question is if it was on target and if yes then it's no OG even if it had NOT gone in without the deflection

    4. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      For better or for worse, the regulations of football disagree.

      1. Exilizer
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Ahem. Not really. If crouch hadn't slammed it in, it would not have gone in.

        1. rickardinho
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          The defender behind crouch would have easily cleared it on the line

        2. Geordienufc1
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          But if crouch had not been there at all, the ball WOULD have gone in. Either way, I'm not disagreeing that applying a "common sense" filter to such situations would render it an OG, I'm just commenting that, as the rules stand, I wouldn't feel aggrieved by the award of a goal.

  8. Exilizer
    • 12 Years

    Shawcross-> Moreno. Done.

  9. chrisjdgrady

    Bego has to go doesn't he. Thanks for 1 cs

    1. Exilizer
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Going to keep for a few more, more pressing matters, and then get rid during International break wildcard.

    2. bondsdw
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, I was definitely hoping for more out of him. Still hard for me to transfer him out with those fixtures ahead. Got bigger problems.

  10. bondsdw
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Transfer this week was to Dummett; kept Chester. Ugh.

    1. bondsdw
      • 13 Years

      It isn't fantastic but it could be worse

      1. The Machine

        Really?

        1. Just A Hat
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          yeah you could have gotten 0 or -1

        2. Exilizer
          • 12 Years

          2 from 2, outscoring you by 100% 😛

  14. emperikal
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Damn you Pieters. Sorry to all the people who told me to play Clyne or Naylor ahead of him. Grrrr...

    On the other hand.. Caulker 😀

  15. JaydenLFC87

    Question -

    Alderweireld is on the bench,

    I have Boyd as 1st Sub, Duff 2nd,

    Will Duff be rotated in if all Mids play??

    1. KOKAK
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, if you are playing 3 at the back.

  16. Wouter
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Well. Begovic was a great pick. 🙂

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Still outscored Green. Damn my gk rotation!

  17. 123thro
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Sanchez starts!! (For Villa) 😀

  18. Honeybadger
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Isn't it harder to SIT on the bench than playing on the field with a torn anus?

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Good point 🙂 I hope they've given him an inflatable cushion.

        • 14 Years

        Might've been, I haven't seen the goal so the entire Stoke team could be potential og candidates 😉

  20. CellinoArmy

    7 from 3, cheers bego and pieters, love me some more 0 points.

  21. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Siggy has high ownership so I think I'd rather a clyne CS, goal and 3 bonus

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I'd rather a Siggy hat-trick and goal and CS for Clyne

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Okay I'll accept that

      2. CellinoArmy
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        how can clyne have cs and siggy a hattrick..

    New Game:

    I name a compliment and you have to name a worse compliment until it eventually turns into a backhanded compliment

    You have beautiful eyes

    1. Exilizer
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      You have a diversified hat

    2. Optimus.

      You don't sweat much for a fat chick

        😆

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      You look more beautiful without make-up.

      1. Exilizer
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I always thought that was an excellent compliment.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          I thought they were meant to get incrementally worse.

          This kind of removes the confidence they receive from wearing make-up...

          1. Mull
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Optimus kind of killed the game though.

    4. Venom Snake

      You look amazing in the dark

    Thank you caulker.. 17 points in 5 games.. not that bad then 🙂 .. now off to the bench for a few weeks

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Might have to keep him too. I have bego fish to fry...

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        think i'm only gonna play him vs whm and Villa over the next 6 if i keep him.

        1. Reedy
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          If I go 4 at the back I will. He isn't dead to me just yet 🙂

  27. emperikal
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Surely Stoke defensive assets have to go? Only CS they got Pieters was firmly nailed to my bench and that was the game he got the assist + bonus as well. Otherwise been absolutely awful. Going to be watching this game from behind the couch with Clyne and Naylor on my bench
