With the impact of Sergio Agueroโ€™s four-goal blast reverberating around the Fantasy Football community, we shift to the three oโ€™clock kick-offs and await further points hauls.

How ironic that, on the day that Ageuro would draw level in the race for the Golden Boot, nine-goal Diego Costa is conspicuous by his absence. This time around the talk of injury concerns rang true as the Chelsea hitman is forced to sit out his sideโ€™s trip to Palace, triggering the Fantasy Premier League vice captain for many; for some, that meant that Aguero was on hand to sweeten the pill.

While Chelsea attempt to get by without their clinical striker, elsewhere, Fantasy managers will be monitoring events at the Emirates, Goodison and St Maryโ€™s in anticipation of points.

Arsenal, with Danny Welbeck leading the line and Aaron Ramsey back on the bench, face a free-scoring Hull side in a clash that looks set to promise goals. On Merseyside, the Leighton Baines bandwagon prepares to start its motors when Villa pay visit, while down on the south coast, the likes of Graziano Pelle and Dusan Tadic will have the opportunity to boost their stock with the visit of Sunderland.

West Hamโ€™s trip to Turf Moor and Leicesterโ€™s visit to Newcastle round off this afternoonโ€™s action, with no late kick-off to see us out.

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

      You Aguero(c) and no Azpi?

  6. Declan
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Ohh Ramsey made the bench, hopefully makes a cameo

  7. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Starting to wish I chose Pelle over welbz now. More points and price keep going up

  8. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
    • 11 Years

    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Azpi out for 3 then?

    1. Rödallegabomb แดฟแดฎ
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah

  10. Kerz
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Cesc yellow card?

    1. Prime
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      yup

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Good.

    2. DRY PEANUT
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Einstein?

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

    So Felip Luis finally got an in then.. does well over the next few and he could be THE bargain defender

  12. Woy
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    How are everton looking?

    1. โญ Bemba_Da โญ
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      stable

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Good. Aston Villa too.

      Having both Coleman + Baines makes a big difference. Less for Barry/McCarthy to do with more threat/marking on Barkley+Naismith+Lukaku. Nearly best Everton team IMO.

  13. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Fabregas is on 0? YC?

    1. โญ Bemba_Da โญ

    Hull drawing with Arsenal. ๐Ÿ™„

  16. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Diame as a fifth mid?

    Attacking potential, points to back up, 5.4.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Im thinking this

    2. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Bit expensive for 5th midfielder if you're playing 3-4-3?

    3. DRY PEANUT
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      as soon as you get him goals will disappear

      1. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Nah, he's been absolutely excellent this year.

  17. Demí
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Azpi defo banned for 3 yeah? Might do a straight swap for Luis

    1. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      For mun/QPR/liv? Not that appealing.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        6,6,6.

        1. beric
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Yep

      2. Demí
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Liverpool with no Sturridge or Suarez though, and Mourinho/Chelsea can shut anyone out on their day. Would be hopeful of 2 cleansheets out of 3.

        Just can't see many better options really

    2. Frank Black
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Me too but from Terry to Luis.

    3. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Another possible transfer waiting to happen though. They never seem to turn out well imo.

    4. Sarnab
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      For mun/QPR/liv? ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

    5. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, nasty challenge.

    6. Respect My Authoritah
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Kaboul/Rose

    7. JedJez
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Was about toast this exact question. Lious must get time now?

  18. tm245
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I think Tadic and Welbeck are going to become Theo and Pelle soon. Never too late to admit I was wrong.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      You may not be wrong

    2. McSauce
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Correct

    3. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It is always so exciting to have Tadic, though, as he is such a quality player. I always have the feeling he could explode.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed, and the stats back it up. Feel that he could be more Modric than I want, though.

    4. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Tadic just got an assist?

  19. Rambo Motin
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking Welbz + Fab + Sterling + Krul > Kun + Chadli + Hendo + Forster

  20. McSauce
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Right take this time to ask the Question!! KEEP COSTA?

    Will most likely play next week vs UTD

    Try to get welbeck out for Aguero??

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I don't see the need to get rid if he plays.

      1. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Costa + Aguero (if fit again) is about as essential as it gets

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  21. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Terry header cleared off the line and set up a great chance for matic which he missed.. No costa = aim terry's head ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

  22. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    The amount of people who have lost faith in Welbs in the last 45. ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Because you can have so many better options priced below and around him.

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Faith in Welbeck? Cannot understand anyone having any in the first place

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        agreed

  23. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    COME ON LEICESTER!!!

  24. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Whats the extent if Costa's injury?

    1. McSauce
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Tough to know with mourinho! I would imagine he wil play vs UTD

    2. DRY PEANUT
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      arthritis

  25. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    HBA hows the fat man doing playing behind abel?

  26. Long Juan Silva
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone see Cavani's red card last night? I've never seen such a rediculous decision

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Deserves it such a poor celebration.

  27. Geordienufc1
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    As a fan, pretty stoked that Newcastle haven't conceded yet!

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Krul CS? ๐Ÿ˜†

      1. Geordienufc1
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        ๐Ÿ˜€

  28. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I'm personally amazed by Pelle

    Never heard of him before he moved to Saints and looked like a classic pre season punt fail

    Just keeps returning

  29. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    im rage trading azpi

  30. Epic Fail
