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.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        His pts can be covered with other Che players, Ivan, Fabs, Haza.

        Kun pts simply can not be matched by any City player right now. It is Kun or no City at all

  3. Cocky Spaniel Alves

    Ok lads, time for a -4.

    Out:
    Silva and Costa

    In:
    Agüero and

    A) Eriksen
    B) Tadic

    (Already have Pelle)

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

    Is Aguero the best striker in the world?

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

      he's no Pelle

    2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      on his day he is better than suarez. suarez is more consistent purely because he stays fit for longer

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

        Suarez is the better player. Brings far more than Aguero.

    3. The-Best
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No Falcao is best out and out striker and Ronaldo best player in world unbelievable tonight

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

      Possibly. Suarez also a candidate

  5. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 11 Years

    I love a ridiculous point scoring week. The knee jerking is just a beauty to behold.

  6. QueefParkRangers
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    What do i do with Schneiderlin?????

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

    Poyet: "Yes, a few players quit today but I know who they are."

    Surely sacked if I'm the owner. A manager losing the players is a lame duck.

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

      You really are a muppet

    2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      what are you on about?

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

        Did I stutter?

        1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          there were players whose heads dropped during the game when city smashed us a couple of seasons back. the board didn't sack fergie because he lost the players

          when you go 4 or 5 goals down some of the weaker minded players are going to give up. its inevitable. human nature

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

            That was Fergie's fault. We were outclassed by a top side. This was Southampton though. No excuse to lose in such a manner. Poyet is an awful manager.

            1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              united didn't have an excuse either. united vs city is similar to sunderland vs soton.

              you mean the poyet that saved from relegation after di canio?

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

                Wickham saved them from relegation. Poyet lucked out.

                But no, at that point Fergie had cost us so in the transfer market that City were far better than us. It's not comparable.

                1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  soton had a much better transfer window than sunderland. their starting 11 is better than sunderland's also

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

                    But they're not a top side. There shouldn't be that great a difference between the two. Have you actually watched the highlights?

                    1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
                      • 12 Years
                      11 years, 1 month ago

                      i know they are not... but they are a fair way better than sunderland. just like city were when they trashed united back then.

                      i watched the second half. players had lost all belief.

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

                        Yeah, and they didn't even put a shift in.

                        That's my point.

                      2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
                        • 12 Years
                        11 years, 1 month ago

                        anomaly. if it happens again you have a point

        2. Oliver Tockman
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          He saved them last season...

      2. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Tadic and pelle have got the better of him

    3. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Its an embarrassing result.

      But so was United losing 5-3 to Leicester when in front.

      The answer ain't always sack the manager. Though it would surprise me if they did they sacked Roy Keane and Martin O'Neill.

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

        Wouldn't*

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

          The Leicester result isn't comparable at all, never mind all the controversy over the ref in that match.

          But yes, they've sacked far better managers for much less.

    Hi guys.. How wood u squeeze Haines in?

    2 free transfer

    Bego

    Clyne. Vlaar. Wilson. Wisdom. Duff

    Di maria. Fab. Chadli. Raheem. King

    Pelle. Aguero. Costa

    Plllleeezz help... My head is boxed

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

      Lose Costa and upgrade Wisdom or Duff to Baines

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

      dont know who Haines is but that Baines guy is alright ๐Ÿ˜‰

    3. Max Gradel to the grave
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Assuming that's current prices, how about;
      Chadli -> Boyd
      Vlaar -> Moore

      Which gives you the 2.5 you need for Wilson -> Baines, it leaves you with three 4.0s in defence but at least you have probably the best front three you can have + a few heavy hitters elsewhere

  9. Christina.

    Interesting (c) options next week...

    Sterling(HULL)

    P. S. I went Stew instead of Tadic last week ๐Ÿ™

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

      Obviously everyone will say Tadic now.

    2. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Tadic all the way. Faces 3 more joke teams in the next 4

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

        Spurs have just as good fixtures

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I was all set on Chadli pre this Tadic mega haul, but my rival has him so I want to be little different

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

    In what order would you be looking to sell this sorry lot?

    It's one of the biggest derbies on the world now - Partizan Belgrade - Red Star, if anyone care :3

  14. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Tadic or Eriksen for Silva??? Got Pelle already if it makes a difference.

  15. FPL Daniel

    da baps be bumpin

  18. Pompel
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Tadic is tempting - but could be a problem to offload Sot'ton players from GW13 when they embark on a dire run of fixtures ....

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

      and they won't play a team as totally abject every week

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

        true .. I think I'll hold my guns and just keep Pelle ad Clyne as Sot'on cover

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

      +1
      The only thing stopping me from bringing Tadic/Mane in is the fact that I already have Bertrand and Pelle

  19. copps
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    no aguero, captained welbeck. sigh

  20. Think Tank

    Bertie got a bap?!

    Wasn't expecting that with a 8-0 result!

  21. lugalooch

  23. TheSteel

    56 with aguero (c) and two southampton defenders. Anyone worse?

    1. Pompel
      • 11 Years

      same here - Sterling ,Bego, diMaria to play though

  24. Jaok
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Bego - Gilks

    Clyne - Baines - PVA - Widom - Cahill

    Fab - siggy - sterling - ADM - Fraulin

    Welbeck - Costa - Pelle

    play my WC and do ---------->

    Welbeck -> Aguero
    Fab -> Tadic
    Fraulin -> Obertan
    PVA -> Moore
    Cahill -> Dummet

    To much for Aguero? Or should I just do Costa -> Aguero?

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

      And Bego -> Krul.. Or something similar.. Maybe foster

    UPL question (c) Costsa (vc) Aguero

    I want to Put Falcao in for Costa. Whats the deal with letting the armband fall to Aguero, do I have to leave Costa in my squad or can I take him out.?

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

      make no subs and your VC will get the captaincy and your 1st sub will come on for Costa. make changes and your VC is void

          Need to decide if the subs you bring in with someone being (c) is likely to beat the 21 points you will get if captaincy goes to Aguero

  26. Every Dog Has Its Day

    Have to agree with the 2 separate callers and Savage (for once) on BBC 606 how its crazy Clyne is not starting for England in his recent form and constant games. Chambers in and out of team at different positions, jet Roy still choosing players based on what team you play for. England will never progress with this old mind set. (P.S Not just saying this because Clyne is our youth product) ๐Ÿ˜‰
