With the impact of Sergio Aguero’s four-goal blast reverberating around the Fantasy Football community, we shift to the three o’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 side’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 Mary’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 Ham’s trip to Turf Moor and Leicester’s visit to Newcastle round off this afternoon’s action, with no late kick-off to see us out.

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

    Very jerky, but Hazard -> Tadic looks appealing this week

    1. SkyByBo
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good to me with the fixtures especially if you use the profits well.

  2. SkyByBo
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    99 post baps with 4 to play if things stay the same.

      nice!

  3. galway77

    Oh my.... the difference an week makes

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

    I've got 59 points with 5 to go and still disappointed. It's that sort of GW. 😆

    1. Zombie
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      exactly same score and feeling 😀

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      😀

    2. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years

      You posted this ten minutes ago.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        You should have commented then I would know someone had seen it. Did you get a good score today btw? Don't think you mentioned it yet 😛

        1. Captain Shirokov
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I've earned the right to brag after 40 points last week 😛

    3. Surgical Attack

      😀

  5. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Knowing I have Baines is a much better feeling than also having Aguero (C) and Tadic.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      My main rival just bought him this week. Too bad, I was hoping he to be my differential. 15pts week from him. Get in

    2. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I can feel that. I WCed almost solely to get Baines.

    3. Doolittle
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I got Baines instead of getting Aguero. Real comfort that Baines came up trumps as well.

  6. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Tadic or Chadli ?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Chadli !

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years

        lol

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Chadli

  7. dmcqt

    Wildcard team. I'm betting that Costa will be out for a few weeks and will drop in value, so Costa out and...:
    Draft 1
    Schmeichel - De Gea
    Ivanovic - Clyne - Wilson - Duff - Moore
    Di María - Fábregas - Tadic - Sigurdsson - Obertan
    Agüero - Pellè - Wellbeck
    £0.3 in the bank.

    Draft 1
    Schmeichel - [Krul]
    Ivanovic - Clyne - Wilson - Duff - Moore
    Di María - Fábregas - Tadic - [Sterling] - Obertan
    Agüero - Pellè - [Sakho]
    £0.3 in the bank.

    Which one is better? Anything I'm missing?

  8. Kroos Kontrol
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I technically have 60 points (post baps) from 4 players (Aguero (C), Fabregas, Clyne and Welbeck). But I also have Van Aanholt and Chester, who gave a grand total of -2 combined to completely ruin the GW.

    I could have really risen this week and gotten in top 10k. So disappointing.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      😎

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      -6 in SKY and other games. Very painful.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        No Kun or Pelle in Sky for me.; 🙁

        Silva (c)

    3. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      My only FT last week was Mannone. He conceded 8 goals and managed to get out with a - 1. I'll call it a win.

  9. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is Costa ruled out for a while though? Anything said by Jose?

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No.

    2. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I hope so, would make things easier.

  10. In Like Flynn.
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    D1Sable.

    Is Dummett's CS good for SKY or do we need longer playing time?

  11. Hammers Select
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I think i will need to do this tonight.

    Lovren & PVA -> Baines & Moore

    No point hits required. Only have the amount to this now

  12. JPeg
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is 57 a red arrow? At 270K at present...

    1. Egg noodle

      Juuust

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        What? No way

    2. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Green arrow of course

    3. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No.

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

      Definitely not.

    5. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      After BAPS?

  13. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone got a link to that dodgy FPl stats site posted a few weeks back?

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Was looking for your team lineups and subs summary earlier!

  14. Doolittle
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    PVA coming off the bench. Having Marney instead of Boyd has cost me big (and not having Tadic and Aguero even bigger).

  15. GK
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    86 points with no Aguero and semi-captain fail Welbeck. Got a feeling this weeks Gw average is going to be HUGE

    1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Well, Tasic only has 3% ownership, Pelle 17%, Aguero even less again. So hopefully not too high!

    2. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I looked in my mini league and so many near the top have between 30-40pts, with one or two with the +70!!!

  16. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Remy looked sharp for us today. Think we can afford to give Costa a couple of weeks off if necessary.

    1. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      😆

  17. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Don't go with three Southampton players they said..

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Who said ?

      Name, names....

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      everyone i know said the opposite

    3. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      TotalFPL 🙂

  18. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Tadic, 2.9%

    Aguero 13 odd %

    The average will be interesting....

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      So happy with that. At my rank I need the differentials to explode

    2. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Pelle 14 or 15 too

    3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      i thought i would be high, but if tadic is that low.......

      all depends on the vcs with costa out

    4. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Got Tadic in one SKY team. It still won't help much.

    5. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Average about 50 I think, not as high as people expect

    6. The Chosen One...
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      FFS average is high, but as seen by those ownerships the overall average won't be too high

  19. JPeg
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    How was Ivanovic today? Still getting forward?

  20. Matt Sk
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Keep the faith with Lukaku? He is delivering but not enough for 9.0m and Pelle looks appealing but he could get a 20 pointer anytime soon :/ thoughts?

  21. Djerbil
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Yess Dummett CS in bag , don't care now

    1. Zombie
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yayyy...me as well. Finally bench (order) coming handy

  22. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If Costa is out more than one week only viable option is Welbeck if you already have Pelle and Kun. Might drop Costa for a cheapo and go for 3-5-2.

  23. JoeJitzu +42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    My young fella (aged 8) on 100pts with three to come!

    He's chuffed with himself!!! 🙂

      scam ?

      1. VougieDipond
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        its not. Someone on here blogs for the site

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

      Surely that's GW rank?

      1. VougieDipond
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I am not sure, this is the first time I have used the GW live section

  25. Zombie
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If I do it tonight, I have exact money for PvA+Sterling -> Baines + Tadic for Free

    ahhh the early transfers dilemma. Would you do it?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Great moves. Hit confirm.

    2. Steevo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      For free, yes I would.

  26. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Sunderland got Arsenal next. Welbeck (c) anyone?

    1. Mr Imp
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Soumds good, but I would not expect another thrashing - Poyet will go ultra-defensive next week to avoid another thrashing at all costs.

    2. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sunderland will tighten up next week, that always happens after a week like this

  27. Mr Imp
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    A) Fabregas, Sterling and Naismith --> Eriksen, Tadic and Pelle (-4)
    B) Sterling and Naismith --> Henderson and Pelle
    C) Fabregas and Naismith --> Chadli and Pelle

    Which would you do?

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      B after assessing Sterling tomorrow.

      1. Mr Imp
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        That is my view as well. I have no Saints players at the moment and, although late to the party, I need to get one in. Naismith-> Pelle seems the obvious way in.

        Thanks for the input.

  28. Seb Wassell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Di Maria vs. Ivanovic next week could be fascinating.
