With the title race back on, we turn to five Premier League encounters to keep the Gameweek rolling, before Manchester City look to maintain the Chelsea chase with three points against Everton at the Etihad.

Fantasy managers will be concentrating their attention on two venues in particular, with QPR hosting fellow strugglers Burnley at Loftus Road, whilst Arsenal and Alexis Sanchez pay visit to the Britannia to take on Stoke.

Sanchez is undoubtedly the most popular asset on show before Sergio Aguero takes to the turf this evening, as the Chilean looks to extend his run of seven goals in as many league outings. The Gunners are also chasing a third straight clean sheet, although Mark Hughes’ Potters are unlikely to give them an easy ride – the big team news from the Britannia is that Olivier Giroud earns a recall, with Danny Welbeck benched.

As for QPR, Charlie Austin will be carrying the hopes of both Harry Redknapp and a horde of Fantasy managers as he looks to continue a rich vein of scoring form when the Clarets pay visit. Danny Ings will be one to watch for the visitors in a battle of the budget strikers down at Shepherds Bush.

Elsewhere this afternoon, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen take increased ownership into the White Hart Lane encounter with Crystal Palace, whilst at Anfield, Liverpool (with Steven Gerrard benched again) will look to build on the 3-1 midweek win over Leicester with another three points against visiting Sunderland. Hull City’s Humberside date with West Brom rounds off the day’s offerings, before we take the trip to Manchester to catch the latest episode of the Aguero show.

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

  13. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Dummett to O'Shea -4?

    Will do Chambers to Azpi and keep Austin, so need to play 4 defs (Baines Azpi Wisdom, then currently have Dummett and Duff)

  14. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    People not worrying about Austin missing next game, what about the 6 points we just lost (3 for the red and 3 BAPS)? Have you forgotten those? 😉

    1. deathorglory
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      What good can come out of moaning about it?

      Suck it up and be glad we made a good decision in getting him in the first place.

      Keeping him obviously. Madness to sell... for starters who would you replace him with?

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah no way I'll sell him for one week.

  16. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I'll just play Boyd with Austin out, no conflict of interest saying I have no Southampton players.

  24. Hibbopotamus

    All of a sudden I feel pretty good about my Rooney and Benteke pairing upfront

  25. Reeker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Say the lad I told to bench Chambers instead of Baines is delighted

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      Should be, he just passed you in the rankings.

  26. Declan

    5mins added, Cmon Arsenal

  27. FPL Touches
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Looks like Boydy will be doing the business for me again next week 😆

    It's not as bad as it looks though, Austin can be benched and the Chambers red gives all the chance to finally dispose of Arsenal defence. Think positive!

  28. piquiblanco
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Krul, Elliot, Chambers, Fabs, Austin, probably bottom of the page too

  29. MJ6987
    • 15 Years

  30. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years

    Reckon Elliot is out for next week?
