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.

    Kun's injury better not be an ACL issue else he could be out for a long time ala Feo.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      this plus im not really sure who id replace him with 😕

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

        True....but about 99.99% of people who play regularly would be the same.

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

      Yup but I don't think it's his knee. Upper thigh

    3. The-Best
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      It's not ligaments

    4. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      From an FPL point of view that's better than a "will he won't he" type injury.

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        ...which it looks like it will be

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

      Probably would have been stretchered off. Could be meniscal because he held his knee on the ground and the physios were doing the tests for that type of damage/collateral ligament damage but hard to know.

      Hamstring is currently the most likely issue I reckon.

  2. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Aguero cried when he was subbed off

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

      Which is scary 🙁

    2. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years

    3. RyanC
      • 11 Years

      • 14 Years

      bloody red grrrr

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

    MIrallas definitely not good for Everton as a team irrespective of his effects on FPL. Hope Martinez realizes it soon

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

      Yep, very selfish.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He's their best player...

      1. Studgie G
        • 14 Years

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

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

    3. sad_nap
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I just can't understand why Barkley is sitting.

    4. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I always feel that they are much worse when he plays, wants to do everything himself and isn't that good at it

  6. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

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

          I'll probably be switching Clichy back to him this week

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            I can get Yaya and Alex in but only 7.3 for a striker, ruling out Bony or Tekkers

    4. WDT
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Austin's out for 1 game (eve), just hold, great fixtures after

  9. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Is dzeko/jovetic the replacement for aguero if he is injured?

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

      Seeing as Pozo came on rather than Dzeko I'd be worried about the latter's game time

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        good point

    Aguero already flagged.

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

      Standard

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

      He was offside.

      Sorry it was awful 🙂

  16. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I won't reach 30 points this week

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years

    2. Declan

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years

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

    3. The Light Knight

    5. Raddy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'm not even certain to make 15.

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

    The worst part is chambers yellows were hardly fouls, let alone bookable offences

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

      Cynical.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Ridiculous compared to what some of the Stoke players were doing...

    3. BlueIncognito
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I didn't see the first but the second definitely warranted a card.

  18. Dexter Bracey
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    or Guzan,,,but Mcgregors 12 point haul today means i staying put with him really

  19. Ally - Killie Til I Die
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Anybody else looking at bringing Sakho back in?

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yep

  20. Sid07
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Pundits saying it can be ACL for aguero, frgt fpl will be very sad on nt watchng plyr like him in top form

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      What does that mean in weeks ?

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

        Not weeks, months. Theo Walcott was ACL.

      2. n-doggg
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Could be a season ender

      3. davies
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        A fecking lot. Season over.

      4. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years

        8 months

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

        Season absolutely over. No question, 6 months minimum.

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

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

    4. The-Best
      • 11 Years

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

        if its ACL that is, I don't see it being that though from what it sounds like (i didn't see it though)

    6. Hibbopotamus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      That's a season ender if true

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

    The fact I will have two FT bodes well for me with all my red cards and bans 🙂

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

      Agreed. Two terrible tackles not even spotted. Mangala should be in the sin bin.

  23. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    This GW should have its own name to be referred to in the future.

    Mods should start a sticky to brainstorm ideas for what to call this GW.

  27. Bøwstring The Carp
