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.

    My defence this week:
    Forster
    Clyne
    Baines
    Collocini
    & Moreno to go

    1. Dušan Citizen

      Damn ๐Ÿ˜€

  2. RSe
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    57 with Bego, Naylor, Moreno. Sterling, ADM,k Siggy to play plus BAPS.

    Mad week means thats probably average at best!?

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

      Way above, average is 40 after Baps.

    No Pelle. No Aguero captain. Boyd my first sub will stay on bench. Still 81 with Naylor Sigurdsson, Sterling and Falcao (c) to go I am very happy with that! My rival captained Aguero and has Pelle and don't think he got that!

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      How has everyone got this mammoth scores?!

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

        Baines, Fab, Welbz, Southampton defense, Everton defense

    4. Shifty

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

      Thats probably more impressive than the 100+ Aguero captainers!

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

      Great start!

  4. MJ6987
    • 15 Years

    How can I have 4 goals from my captain and still be slightly disappointed?

    1. Holy See
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Coz you're greedy! ๐Ÿ˜‰

      1. MJ6987

        Yeah! Wish I had Pelle and Tadic!

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years

        That would be it.

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

      Because you dont have Tadic

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

        This

      2. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        You've hit the nail on the head there.

      3. Zombie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        and Baines

  5. Hasselbaink Forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    73 points pre baps and thinking to do Terry Henderson and Ulloa to Baines, Boyd and Welbeck for -4?

  6. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is there some lucky man with Aguero (C),Pelle,Welbeck,Tadic,Fabregas,Boyd/Diame,Baines,Clyne and Krul? ๐Ÿ™

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

      lucky man?
      Casuals wont have Tadic for sure, he has done nothing before this gw
      they dont know who Boyd is too

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I've got Boyd coming off the bench for Costa ๐Ÿ˜€ And I just did Cahill and Sterling to Baines and Tadic.

    2. Colonel Shoe ่‚ๆฑ 
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      not luck ...perfectly tactical.......... if costa plays hes worth the captaincy, if not we knew wed get aguero in..... obviously cant account for 4 goals

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

        this. ML rivals giving me shit for fluking it with Aguero (vc), but I don't see the need to explain myself to them. Let them think it's luck. There was some rationale behind it too.

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

      I tick a few of those boxes! Krul, Colo, Tadic, Pelle, Aguero (c), Boyd.

  7. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    What about this Sakho guy? Goal and assist plus 3 baps again.

    Great fixtures coming up.

    If Costa is out more than a week might choose him as a replacement.

  8. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Looking forward to people selling Costa. Then he will go and tear the arse out of Utd

  9. Tatty Bojangles
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Mane > Tadic FT?

    Cursing not choosing Tadic in the first place...

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

    Vertonghen to Dummett (leaving me with Baines, Bertrand, Naylor and Duff)

    and

    Ulloa to Pelle?

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      this is assuming I don't have to do anything with Costa

  11. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Boyd stuck behind Duff on bench prevents the ton. Oh well. Hope for a better week next GW. ๐Ÿ˜†

  12. JK - Cønt โญ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Other than dump Naismith would you do anything with this lot

    DDG

    Clyne, Caulker, Naylor

    ADM, Siggy (c) Chadli. Sterling

    Costa, Kun, Naismith

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      DDG has some tough fixtures coming up. Forster or Lloris in?

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

        Lloris on the radar

  13. Geordienufc1

    I guess I'm the only person on here who is far happier that my team (Newcastle) finally got a win than that this was a crazy fpl week ๐Ÿ˜›

    Mixed bag here...

    On one hand I dropped pelle, Costa didn't start,picked azpilicueta and played mannone

    On the other hand...

    Aguero (c), Boyd came on for Costa, hello Baines and wellbeck.

    Not a clue what to do with the team now though. If Costa inj, hello again pelle

    Interesting wc...

  15. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Thank you Costa for the points but it's time to jump on Aguero's wagon.

    1. OPTA FPL

      welcome abroad

      1. AIRMILES

        Abroad? Japan?

  16. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Really hope Sterling starts tomorrow. Not only is he in my FPL side but think he'll be Liverpool's only threat against us during the week. Could do with him being tired.

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Surely he has to start with Sturridge out.

      1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, QPR though. Even Balotelli should do something tomorrow.

  17. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Oh, and (surprise, surprise) the community team did absolutely terribly this week. AGAIN.

    40 points with 2 left, pathetic. Can't believe that tripe was voted for. ๐Ÿ™„

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      Just bcoz his poem was good *meh*

    2. Colonel Shoe ่‚ๆฑ

      did we not veto wc then

    3. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      My team would have had Aguero, Pelle, Tadic and Baines in

    4. J0E
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Look forward to you submitting your team next week. Polls open at 10am Monday.

      Davros made some brave calls this week. They didn't come off but it could have been different and I think he should be commended for taking risks.

  18. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Average of 32. That Southampton game has made everything so skewed.

  19. UKG
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    33 with baps here. ADM (c) , Bego, Siggy & Stirling to go. - Awful so far with my 30 point ML lead cut to nothing or worse, Thankfully Pelle saved the day, just.

    Looking at the below for -4, good moves?

    Ivanovic > Baines
    Sterling > Tadic
    Costa > Aguero

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      tadic is probably going to go up over night, but i'd want to see how sterling does tomorrow with the hopeful return of studge

      Costa to Aguero might be worth it, if news about Costa surfaces

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

        Studge out for another couple of weeks I thought ?

  20. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    I don't have aguero or Tadic. Loving the mass score check craze from all of those who lucked out.

    So, sad. 38 with Falcao, Hendo, Lovren and Siggy to go. Did not have the template most on here had with Kun, Tadic and Baines. Well done you scouters. Sitting in NYC, I did enjoy reading the banter earlier today about how funny it is to read comments by Americans, and then seeing it turn into a debate about racism.

        no... just bonus

    4. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      25.3 above the average after hits with 5 to play seems solid.

    5. d1sable

      Many will have Aguero VC coming in last minute though.

      1. Podge

        Going by ownership...not as many as you'd think.

        7% in top 10k vc'd Aguero as per Evs post earlier did they all captain Costa? I'd say not.

        1. Konig Luther
          • 12 Years
