After a subdued Saturday programme, Sunday explodes on us with veritable feast of football featuring five of last season’s top seven sides. While Chelsea’s visit to the Etihad at tea-time is undoubtedly the headline act, we’ve plenty to keep us engaged until the 4pm kick-off.

The day begins with a pair of fixtures, with Leicester looking to continue their impressive start to their campaign against Louis van Gaal’s United redux, whilst at the Lane, Spurs will be seeking to dish out further punishment to a West Brom side that’s faltered out of the blocks so far.

That’s rounded off by the main event in Manchester, with Everton’s Goodison clash with Crystal Palace running alongside it. Fantasy managers look set for a eventful afternoon,then, with the day’s events potential turning Gameweek fortunes on their head.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news and key injury updates as the night draws in and Gameweek 5 draws to a close.

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

    No cleanies, unpopular scorers. I'll take that.

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yup.

    2. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Except Baines. He's popular.

    3. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Indeed.

    4. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Agreed. I was worried about the late games.

    5. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Sold

    6. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard?

  2. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    F**king Ivanovic went missing for the goal again.

    He HAS to be dropped. 😡

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Felipe Luis 5.5...

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        I'll have a bit of that.

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

      this hung out to dry

  3. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Any baps for baines or hazard?

    1. LOCO ABREU
      • 13 Years

      3 and 2 atm

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      2 for Haz I think

    3. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Baines 3
      Haz 2

  4. Willis.
    • 14 Years

    Lampard you plonker

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

    Gerdioura miss of the day!

  6. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    In what world is Drogba still better than Remy?

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

      Better at defending set pieces, with Chelsea under the pump

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

        this. if i was Jose i'd take a draw all day long

    2. Willis.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Stronger, better at holding up the ball, more likely to cause trouble against a tired defence

      1. The Finnisher
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        He's a shadow of what he used to be, understandably as he is 36. Wouldn't say he's more likely to trouble a tired defence with Remy's speed. Guess Mourinho was happy with a draw against 10 men 🙂

  7. Guidinho
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Just went from 51 vs 50 against my rival. Ivano loses clean sheet and Baines scores penalty who he has captained fair enough. So the difference is now 44 vs 68, my gripe is how does Baines go to all three BPS just because he score a penno when they lose the game and the defence concedes three goals?

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

      So true 🙁

  8. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Assist for Baines peno?

    1. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      McCarthy i think

    2. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Check FPL.
      McCarthy

    3. LOCO ABREU
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      McCarthy

  9. DIegoCosta19
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    BPL football is like WWE. these scripts are just unwriteable

  10. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Silva has had an awful game

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      😯

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        No?

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

      it was a pretty physical game to be fair

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        His corners really pissed me off

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

    That's that.

  12. Revival

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      All teams aspiring for 4th lost. Pool, Spurs, Everton, United.

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

  13. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Costa in for a hit and his first blank. Fairly predictable

    1. The Finnisher
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Away to City yeah it was to be fair!

    2. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Bad call getting him in vs City even tho he had 1-2 more than decent chances!

    3. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I needed to get him in too, but thought i'd wait til after City. Got very lucky i think

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

      Wrong weekend to be getting him in

  14. gers23
    • 14 Years

    Could have done with that Terry clean sheet but what a legend Lampard is

  15. eish
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    crappy gameweek for pretty much everyone except arsenal . . . and im a spurs fan:(((

  16. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Out of 11 players I had only 1 player over 2 points. I got 2 zeros, 4 1 s, 4 2s. I'm so jammy to have captained sterling 🙂 Cool story yeah?

  17. RSe
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Baines BAPS?

  18. palace ash
    • 16 Years

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Congratz! And not a dreary 1-0! 😉

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

        Never happens with Palace.

  19. FPL Notebook (John)
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    After a horrid first 4 weeks, I finally have a brilliant one!

    If only i'd played Bertrand and Duff over Naylor and Moreno it could have been INCREDIBLE

  20. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Lamps scores against Chelsea, Chelsea fans clap him off at half time.

    Now THAT is classy.

  21. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Low scoring week after all

    1. copps
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      i only scored 32` and don;t even feel like i've done THAT bad 😆

  22. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    City deserved to win today

    Mike Dean far to inconsistent

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Lol, can't blame the ref.

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

      Agree Syd , dominated most of the game - unlucky

    Krul* Elliot
    Clyne Wilson* Bardsley* Chambers* Wisdom
    Ramsey* Mata* Sterling Sigurddson Marney*
    Rooney* Costa Adebayor*

    Worth a WC to this? 8 changes I want to make

    Mannone 4.0
    Clyne Bertrand Duff Moore Wisdom
    Hazard Di Maria Sterling Sigurdsson Boyd
    Aguero Costa Pelle

    Horror gameweek, losing ground fast in ML. Too knee jerk?

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years

      Yes

  26. copps
    • 14 Years

  27. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    What a moment for Lampard, must be emotional, how often do you get both sets of fans singing your name, fair play

  28. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Lovely commentary on city equaliser "oh no". He was hardly going to celebrate it wildly but well played frank.

  29. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Lol why is Lampard crying?

  30. DV8R
