What a difference a week makes. Just seven days ago to the minute, we were right here totting up points from Sergio Aguero’s four-goal haul against Spurs. Today many Fantasy managers are left gazing on the Argentine’s two-point total at West Ham and regretting transfers and their armband decision. It’s now left to Saturday’s remaining fixtures to sweeten such a bitter pill.

Raheem Sterling will carry the can for some as Liverpool host a Hull City side nursing a lengthy injury list. Meanwhile, down on the south coast, Ronald Koeman’s revolutionsied Saints look to continue their climb up the table as they take on Stoke – Graziano Pelle and Dusan Tadic the headline acts on show.

Arsenal’s trip to Sunderland and West Brom’s Hawthorns meet with Crystal Palace will see some Fantasy managers relying on output from Danny Welbeck and Saido Berahino. Finally, in today’s tea-time kick-off, it may well fall to Gylfi Sigurdsson to save many a Gameweek total as the Swans host Leicester City.

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

      Agreed... even though I hate the guy.

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

      How can that be true when Messi did not score.

      Keep forgetting there's another Orem game going on

  5. Not Irish

    Repost

    AdM and Cesc could put sellers to the sword tomorrow.

    Would be lovely that.

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

      Well, that a bit obvious about anyone you sell.

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

        Very few have the quality of those two.

    2. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Can't imagine adm bettering Sanchez.

    3. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      This is likely, Sterling will not make the cut for Alexis

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

    Have the BPS been adjusted and updated for the 3pm games?

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Should have been by now

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

      Nope

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

        Damn!

    3. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years

      If they have, they didn't change.

  7. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Sakho Pelle Kun/Costa is looking a really good option. Frees up money for Sanchez, Baines etc too.

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

      Kun Costa Sakho

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        This will be my front line next week if I ditch welbeck.....sterling > Sanchez looking like my other move

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

          Exactly the same here.

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

          Might wait a week then do Pelle to Sakho and someone to Sanchez for free

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

        my front 3 next match as well

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

      I went Costa + Aguero + Pelle and Chambers at the back but suppose Pelle for Sakho and Chambers for a better defender also works.

  8. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Liverpool & Hull should both be deducted points for that display today.

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

      In fact they should introduce -pts for not scoring.

    2. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Come to Roots Hall! 🙂

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

        Brought up watching football at Firhill. Awful.

    3. Optimus.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'll take them points if they're offering

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

        Go halfers?

    4. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      -10 for Balotelli. Pathetic

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years

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

    1. Podge

    2. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      That's quite good. I'd take it.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I don't think you get a choice 😉

    4. Zasa

      11 years, 1 month ago

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

        it figures...hadn't been around this evening so didn't expected sympathy and not a backlash! 😛

      1. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Oops...31 from 5 I mean....Siggy still playing.

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

    Knew I'd regret not doing Sterling --> Alexis last week, oh well

  15. Ser Football 42
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Already what I'm thinking for GW 10

    Forster
    Cresswell, Bertrand, Ivan
    Siggy, Sterling, Di Maria, Fabregas, Sanchez
    Aguero, Costa

    (Boyd, Kelly, Moore)

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      6 midfielders......impressive

      1. Ser Football 42
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Oops...no Boyd

        1. DRY PEANUT
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          7 😯

        2. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Looks good tho. Sakho too good value to ignore for me.

      2. DRY PEANUT
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        😆

  16. DRY PEANUT
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    So Dzeko to Costa FT or Dzeko to Aguero -4

    He won't be starting again anytime soon

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

      The latter for sure

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

    Was between Sterling > Sanchez or Bardsley > Baines.

    Picked Bardsley > Baines for my transfer...no regrets but hindsight is a wonderful/cruel thing

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Played chambers over wisdom. Seems silly in hindsight.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        *other way round I mean

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

        Same, played Wisdom over Chambers. Oh well, seemed so clever at the time! 😀

        Bright side - if Costa doesn't play, Chambers off the bench.

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

    Before this match, Barca kept 8 consecutive clean sheets . That penalty was their 1st conceded goal this season in the league 😯

      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      What's wrong with Welbeck?

      I have the exact money for Welbeckt to Pelle and AdM to Hazard should I do it with 2 FT?

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

      I think the time has come. It's that time. WC tonight. Sanchez and Haz look like great opportnutty for me. Too bad I didn't play it last gw. Woukd have gone for Sanchez surely. Kun too.

      Anyone joining me?

      1. OPTA FPL

        Never

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

        Doubt it and they certainly don't need him.

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

        Tadic and Pelle

    • Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I guess everyone will now be trying to fit Sanchez in for the next GW. Anyone think he's going to do an Aguero and blank at home to Burnley!? Haha!

      I nearly brought him in for Silva for a -4 hit, guess Silva's goal (FINALLY) will have to be my consolation!

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I'm not getting him.

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

        Nope. Bringing Oscar in in place of Siggy (mainly coz no funds for Sanchez)

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

        Same here SZ, meant to play Naylor over Clyne today but f'd up. Left Siggy on the bench for Ulloa too 🙁

      2. emperikal
        • 15 Years

        Loving my Clyne - Bertrand - Baines backline. Set it and forget it

      3. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Well, they have only played Liverpool from top 4 yet.

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

          It's called "planning" 😉

    • emperikal
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez or Hazard in next week for Sterling?

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

        Play Sterling

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

          He's just oh so frustrating at the moment

          1. emperikal
            • 15 Years

            And your team looks shambles to be honest 😉
