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.

      11 years, 2 months ago

        11 years, 2 months ago

        Playoff bound, baby.

  2. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Can we all agree not to jerk Aguero out tonight?

    I'd like to know how long he's out for without losing 0.3, is that too much to ask for?

    1. mouldy_uk
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      The sheep will be selling him as we speak

      1. Sheep Flavour
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Nah I am keeping.

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Good luck casual have already started to transfer him out.

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Aye, If you got him early you really need to be sure before you sell.

      Hopefully people will focus on transferring all the other problem players out....

    4. BuK II
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Got him at 12.2 so no loss if he drops tonight, which I doubt he will given he was on the way to another rise.

    Mangala madness

    1. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Freak attack

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

      Cowardly

  4. Fin
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Jovetic anyone?

    1. Prime
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Injured

    2. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Been there, laughed and eventually cried 😕

    3. Jimbo123
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'm thinking Dzeko

  5. ★FC Borecelona★
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero was crying because he knew how much our FPL teams relied on him

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not ours. His team.

    2. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He had himself captained.
      With his rival captaining Cisse, there's no way he'll catch him this round.

      I would have cried as well..

    3. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He had Dzeko, thought he was guaranteed 2 points, then saw Pozo

  6. Ser Football 42
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Not his knee. Maybe he will be back next week

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Guesswork, I think.

      2. Seb Wassell
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Upper left thigh apparently. Not knee.

    1. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      It looked like his knee.

  7. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    With the way Mangala plays .... Baines' owners can hope.

    1. Prime
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      been dreaming about this fixture for weeks now!

  8. Screaming Midget
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    If it's an injury to upper thigh and it's a muscle tear, then it could be 3 months out. They take a bloody long time to repair.

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

      I thought he was out for the season?

      1. Screaming Midget
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        That's your first mistake.

        Thinking 🙂

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

          Apologies. I thought that's what you said

  9. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    So hits all round next week

    Chambers - planned anyway
    Austin - can handle
    Kun - hit time

  10. The Light Knight
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Lukakaka captain next week.
    MNF at home to QPR

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yepppp

  11. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    lol this gw has been a disaster

  12. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    This makes the PL less interesting too, City more likely to drop points now.

    Bleh.

  13. Pinky and Brain
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    The joy of 2FT

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

      Meh. You'll all be using 1 to get in who i got this week anyway 😉

  14. GunsnRoses
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Mangala kung fu kick

  15. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Muscle tear I'd say.

    1. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Won't be less than 3 weeks if it is a significant tear.

  16. Canelo
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Everyone starting Boydinho next week.

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Everyone

  17. CoolBeans
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Falcao could be an option now?

    1. Prime
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Needs to actually play first

      1. CoolBeans
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Coming back to fitness, will get some minutes tomorrow

    2. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not with his finishing.

  18. Zombie
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    So what's your bench? (in this match)

    Clyne, Wanyama, DUmmet for me

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Fpl without aguero. Watching city without aguero

    Boring

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      It's an FPL opportunity. Could make things really interesting.

  20. threeputt
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    could have been worse, could have been sent off, bet some poor souls captained chambers 🙂

  21. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Dzeko likely to start next game?

  22. Guidinho
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Managala must have aspirations of Winston Bogarde's career.

    On a separate note all about the RvP bus

  23. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    January wildcard, so close but yet so far. 6 players out. My first ever - 8 hit incoming

  24. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    IF Aguero's out for a while I have exact money to do:

    Bertie, Fab, Aguero > Coleman, Hazard, Rooney... Going to be nail biting... I'm assuming there will be a rise/fall somewhere tonight.

  25. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    You can't really walk and hold your knee. Maybe he was just holding thigh to stop pain in knee.

  26. jackluhg
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Dzeko, Benteke, Rooney, Bony

    mm

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

      Rvp

  27. Jönny
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Was wondering when my luck would run out... Fabregas, Austin and Aguero out for next week then!

  28. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Imagine what next week would've been like if Costa picked up his 5th YC today 😯

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

      He got his 6th today ...

  29. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    So no injury to the ligaments which is good. Why would he cry though? Tear in the muscle maybe?

  30. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Duff better be back now

    Was touch and go two weeks ago 🙄
