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.

    So. Sell or keep Costa?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      sell

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

        how come? what's the news? he out for a bit?

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

      I'll probably sell for Pelle.

  3. Elfozzie 42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Me = 41 points pre-baps (looks like 7) minus a 4 point hit but with 5 to play including captain Di Maria, Sterling + Siggy. Most weeks I'd be thinking this wasn't too shabby.

    However, my season target rival = 90 points pre-baps (looks like 13) with 2 to play (Sterling + Siggy).

    In other words, I'll be looking for Di Maria (c), Henderson and Caulker to make up a 59pt differential this week.

    Serves me right for being in a league with Mark I guess! 😉

  4. MattysFantasyFooty

    Now to spend the week fretting over Costa's fitness and decidin whether to swap him for Aguero.. else Vardy to Berahino/Sakho
    Sigh.. wish i'd just done the swap 7 hours ago

    1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No brainer in my opinion. The main issue is availability of funds.

  10. Boz
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Never mind Aguero (C), Obertan scoring and getting 3 baps is the stuff of dreams. What a GW!

  11. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …

    Clyne is on an target of 137% and currently perching on top of the fiso table. I do not know what those percentages mean, but what am certain of is Bert might go up in price soon.

    1. Will Bertrand go up in price?
    2. Should I do Iva>Bert today? I also have Clyne.

  12. Pedram

    Magical GW

    1. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Looking around my MLs it's absolute carnage. Out of the 20 odd teams I looked at across a number of leagues, no one was over 50.

  13. Seb Wassell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    So Azpilicueta to who?

    Could be Luis, but I'm not a huge fan of the next 3. Jagielka?

    1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Bert or Clyne. You can get both.

  14. Tony Warner Fan Club

    Aguero (c) today has made up for the time I captained him that time last season when Suarez got 4.

    My comment on "the suspension tightrope GW7 post" regarding those transferring Krul out of their team... LOL. I did say he was going to keep a CS.

  17. Billy Gilmore
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Not only are all the attackers delivering, but the 3 defenders I've played this week are from the only sides to keep CSs so far 😀

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I've hardly had anyone play

      Kun (c), Clyne and Boyd - good

      Chadli and Naismith - bad

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Krul, Clyne, Baines, Fabregas, Kun(c), Welbeck - good

        Chadli - bad

        Got Wisdom (or Hutton) coming in for Costa though 😮

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

      Woop woop!

      1. Billy Gilmore

    Got most of the results and pretty close to the amount of goals right at least.. The Burnley - West Ham game was wishful thinking as I was stuck with Duff I guess:p

  25. galway77
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Was going so well until this gameweek..... what a waste of 2 free transfers 2day getting in Cisse (C) and Milner fuk it

  26. Crouching Tiger
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling and Moreno to Baines and Tadic?

    What a disaster this gameweek was, 28 total score so far. Hoping for ADM (c) and Falcao to shine!

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

    Just thinking, I need to improve my defence a little bit... Sterling & Duff out for Henderson & Baines in ???

    Yes or No ?

    Di Maria (C) has to save my week. Got 55 post BAPS with 5 left to play.
    Shame I had no Tadic or Aguero.
