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.

    Someone here yesterday posted that Enrique is likely to start over Moreno according to bib theory. Is it true?

  5. M4d_H4tt3r
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Ulloa -> Berahino? Any other suggestions?

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

      Sakho if you have the money

      1. M4d_H4tt3r
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Berahino has better fixures i think

    Any news on Costa?

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Mourinho on Costa: "I think he will be back in perfect condition in mid-November to play for the national team."

      make of that what you will

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?

        Lol that's a fantastic quote

      3. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        He said that? 😐

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

        Huh? was he being sarcastic? hate this costa mourinho situation

      5. M4d_H4tt3r
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I think that was sarcasm

    2. M4d_H4tt3r
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Also the full statement was:
      "I think he'll be in great condition in mid-November to be back for the national team. That's for sure. Our medical department will take good care of him and he'll be in perfect condition. "

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

    Would you do Costa & Fabregas > Aguero & Tadic for a 4 points hit ?

    1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea will cut through Manchester next week

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

      Yeah, i'd then buy a time machine with the money saved

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Is there a chance that Enrique will start over Moreno, Demi?

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

          Small chance i think

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

        Demi, you think Costa will start against United?

    3. Lawrø
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No.

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

      Why would you sell the highest scoring Forward & mid 😯 ?

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

        Aguero and Pelle have more points than Costa now.

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

      I'm considering Tadic...but for Sterling. I'm considering Costa to Aguero, though.

  10. Liquidfootball101
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling out for tadic ??

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

      Meh, preferably someone else.

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

      I am doing the same...Pool looks so tired whereas Southampton are flying

      1. 1314
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        you know,you might want to get rid of Tadic after 4 games..who would u get that after that for long term..

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

    Need to somehow get Aguero in

  12. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Got 2 FT's.

    Ulloa and PvA to Welbz and Hutton look good to you guys?

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

      As a Welbeck owner, get Pelle instead.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Not enough money to do that. I have £1.3m in bank and Ulloa is £5.9m. If I get Pelle I have to lose £0.8m from somewhere.

        But for his tricky fixture next week Sakho is a very interesting proposition.

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

          I agree with that, four on the trot and only 2.3% ownership!

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

    Double up an SHampton defence has its flaws.
    Cant have both Pelle and Tadic

  14. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Howard / Heaton
    Clyne / Ward / Vlaar / Duff / Lovren
    Hazard / Fab / Hendo / Siggy / King
    Falcao / Pelle / Costa
    0.6 itb

    For GW9 , I have just exactly enough to do, for a 4-point hit:
    Haz > Tadic
    Falcao > Kun
    Lovren > Baines

    Feels right, but also ignores potential longer term Costa injury. I was intending to trade Falcao anyway after tomorrow due to tougher fixtures. Any feedback? thx!

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

    I think Mourinho will tell throughout the week that Costa is injured ,won't play etc etc and then start him at OT.

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      "Sacked in the morning"

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

        Don't think so

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

    Serious question: How bad Costa's injury seems? Anyone got any info about that, I tried to search but couldn't find anything.

  17. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    (Obviously not tonight but) Shawcross -> Jagielka for free a no-brainer?

  18. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Neil Warnock is a disgrace.

    1. Kalamazoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      What did he say?

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Ref this ref that

    1. The class of 92
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Wow

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

      Ouch I thought I was having a bad GW

    3. Lawrø
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Joint highest point scorer on the bench. Ouch!

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

      whoah - in the top 5k too with that score!!

  19. Think Tank
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Some cheap routes into premium defences present themselves now:

    Chambers (4.6)
    Luis (5.4)
    Alcaraz (4.3)

    Any takers?

    1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Will Alcaraz play next week?

      What's the update on the rest of the Everton defense?

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

      Two are short term while one will rarely keep clean sheet

    3. Captain Peacock
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Luis sure is tempting. But then I can't buy back Costa in a few weeks...

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

    To all those who haven't got Pelle or Aguero don't despair ADM, Falcao, Sterling could all still score equally as big, this GW is not over yet stay positive

    1. Captain Peacock
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Truth. Be positive.

  21. Incredibale
    • 11 Years

    Should be on 96 pts post baps. How much will i rise form 400k

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

      350K probably 🙂

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

      inside 100K easily

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

    Moreno benched tomorrow?

    Nightmare.

  23. Captain Peacock
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Have Dzeko (as well as Kun). Should I dump him for Remy, or Naismith/Cisse to free up funds for Tadic/Eriksen?

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

      Whaaa ?

      1. Captain Peacock
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Oh very well,

        A. Dzeko -> Remy
        B. Dzeko -> Naismith/Cisse; Bench fodder -> Tadic/Eriksen

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

          I mean why the hell are you looking at Remy ? or Naismith ?

          1. Captain Peacock
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Chelsea are playing crap defences like Man United and QPR
            Naismith has good fixtures

  24. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard is waste of space...

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

      Shh, he's great and about to explode, everyone get and captain him

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

      I don't know what you're talking about. Hazard and my double chelsea defense really did the business for me today.....

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

        What did Hazard get? 1pt for clean sheet?

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

          Yeah. Disaster.

    3. A Defender's Nightmare
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sell him at your peril.

  25. FootballFanatic365
    • 11 Years

    costa> KUN

    Azpil> Kaboul

  26. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is it true?

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

      Yup...Aguero scored 4, New castle won, Burnley scored and Southampton put 8 past Sunderland...All are true 😀

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

    Costa out for a month according to Mourinho?

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

    Anyone have a good idea on when Baines is going to rise ?

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

      He's probably smashing out some babes right now with the way he played today.
