Following on from Arsenal’s narrow win over the Baggies, Fantasy managers shift their sights to the three o’clock kick-offs, with six matches to occupy our thoughts.

Points should be plentiful, with the likes of Man United, Swansea and QPR enjoying home comforts against opposition that could and should see them notch goals.

The team news finds Louis van Gaal recall Juan Mata, Marcos Rojo and Ashley Young to his starting XI against Hull, as Luke Shaw misses out through injury and Paddy McNair and Tyler Blackett drop to the bench. Radamel Falcao returns from injury to join them amongst the subs.

The news from Anfield is even more significant, as Steven Gerrard is “rested” from the Liverpool starting XI to face Stoke by Brendan Rodgers. Philippe Coutinho comes into midfield, whilst at the back, Jose Enrique replaces Javier Manquillo and Kolo Toure retains his start ahead of the out-of-sorts Dejan Lovren who sits alongside Gerard on the timber.

Sam Allardyce is able to call on an array of “yellow flag” assets with Stewart Downing and Cheikhou Kouyate making returns for West Ham; Matt Jarvis also gets a start against Newcastle, who have Cheick Tiote and Yoan Gouffran back in their midfield.

Garry Monk makes two changes to his teamsheet as the Swans take on Palace: both Wayne Routledge and Jonjo Shelvey make returns in place of Nathan Dyer and Tom Carroll. Brede Hangeland comes in for the injured Damien Delaney in the visitor’s back four.

There are few surprises on the teamsheets at Turf Moor, as Joe Cole replaces Charles N’Zogbia for visitors Villa. Whilst down at Loftus Road both Eduardo Vargas and Niko Kranjcar get starts for Harry Redknapp’s side with Sandro missing out through injury and Bobby Zamora out of the matchday squad with a back problem.

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

    At least it doesn't look like there will be a mauling. I can see a 1-0 Haz penalty in the 84th minute.

    1. Stoke me a Clipper
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      That would be marvellous as a Hazard and JT owner 😉

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 22 days ago

        As long as Costa blanks, I am ok. As a Chelsea fan, I want them to win. 1-0 matic or cahill the ideal scenario 🙂

            Narrow ones v them and Aus for last few years, plus a 10 min collapse v NZ last week.

            What I can understand is....

            WALES English based players not allowed to play but... English league based players played for England?

      1. davies
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 22 days ago

        Why?

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 22 days ago

          Could've squared it to him back post for a tap in. But pulled it back to his amigo instead who was in a poorer position.

      lucky you got 2

  24. @FuzzyWarbles
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    Forgive the ill-timed question but I got a dilemma in a non-FPL game:

    Who is more likely to start Tuesday, Okore (started today but not sure if it is he or Clark that drops should Vlaar be ready Tuesday) or McNair? (Didn't start today but if I drop him for Okore I cannot afford to switch back. Could he start Tuesday in a promising CS-possible fixture?

    Cheers

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Okore

    2. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Okore more likely to play.

      1. @FuzzyWarbles
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 22 days ago

        Cheers lads, that's what I thought. You think he is preferred over Clark once Vlaar is fit?

        1. davies
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 22 days ago

          Hard to tell, really, considering he was injured last season. Senderos may be first choice partner to Vlaar.

          1. @FuzzyWarbles
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 22 days ago

            aye, I meant to imply that while senderos is out as well. Okore certainly the future, Senderos is on the decline. Grasping that Okore can get a decent run in the side.

            Cheers

      yes... already ruled out for Tuesday by Van Gaal

  27. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 22 days ago

    Hazard is constantly too central. Needs to be out wide and cut in.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 22 days ago

      Exactly what Ruud said before the game.
