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.

    11 years, 19 days ago

    This ref is an absolute joke

    • 15 Years

  15. Randy_Marsh
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Sanchez was a great choice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      haha this..until Kun tomorrow 😯

      1. Randy_Marsh
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        Yep, I'm worried

    2. OReiMessi
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Somehow we're getting away with it so far...

  16. Big Sum
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Costa----> RVP?

  17. Sleep Talk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    ADM to Fab if he avoids a yellow today? Sounds about right? Can't afford Sanchez

  18. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Costa > Rooney

    Simples

  19. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Costa & Mahrez > Hazard & Austin for free. 0.0 left in the bank. It's mean to be 😀

  20. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    I am sorry but that is never a YC. It is not even a foul. He jumps and his arm just brushes the other guy. It is not an elbow. Costa doesn't even see him. Any chance it would be rescinded?

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      lol no

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Its a yellow all day long.

      His kick out in the first half was straight red material.

    3. 4-4-who?
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Dude. Forget that. He's getting a ban for the kick out in the first half.

      Horrible.

    4. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Yo,s are never rescinded. Take your -2 like a man 😛

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        He is not my captain. I just wanted him to play the Spurs game.

    5. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Yellows cant be appealed.

    6. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Yellow cards are never rescinded.

    7. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      agreed but it couldve easily been his 2nd yellow so just lick your wounds

    8. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Didn't know that YC can't be rescinded. Ok then. But that thing with Oshea a straight red? get out of here.

    9. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      you can't challenge yellows I believe

  21. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Loving being an Aguero captainer right now 🙂

    1. Punty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Still have hopes as Hazard-captainer..but I'd like to be in your palce

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      It's where the shrewdies went 😉

    3. Lloyd Xmas
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Yeah he may miss that pen?

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        If it's like Spurs game he van miss that pen

  22. New Ghost
    • 13 Years

    costa to rooney (c) turned out well 🙂

  23. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    No point having Chelsea corners as Sunderland just grabbing Chelsea players.

    1. coran2123
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Exactly

  24. Game of Stones
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    It will at least make the captaincy decision a bit easier 😀

  25. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Costa+ADM>>Rooney+Hazard? Good transfers?
    Please Cesc, make good choices...

  26. Seb Wassell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Not sure selling Costa is all that wise, especially if you stand to lose money. He'll be back in 7 days with a great run of fixtures.

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Back rested may I add.

    2. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      People said this last time. 2, 6, 7, ??? was the result.

      1. Seb Wassell
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        Sounds alright to me, much more reliable than many

  27. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Costa is the 5th best striker in the PL

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Aguero
      Sanchez
      Giroud
      Webz
      Austin

      🙂

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        Pelle Rooney

  28. Darth
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Adrian, Guzan or De Gea in for Krul?

    1. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Adrian for me.

  29. Saniul
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Costa & ADM -> Rooney & Hazard was what I intended to do, but now that Rooney might be out...
    Decisions, decisions.

  30. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    come on chelsea 😕

    1. Syd.
