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.

    Rooney owners with the last laugh this Monday.

    1. copps
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      he's only owned by 9% in the top 10K

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

        and ME importantly 🙂

    2. BuK II
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      hope so!

    3. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Christ I hope not......on so many levels.

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

      And Mata hopefully. Only saving grace for me is that 3 of my remaining 4 are legit differentials

    27 from 8 pre baps. I assume it is a decent score even after City's CS and Yaya's goal right?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Anything over 20 is fine.

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

        19 here but I have 6 to play...Adrian, Clyne, Hutton, Siggy, Downing, Rooney so not too bad

  3. tm245
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Wow. Bought Benteke last night and put the armband on him but it didn't go through. That hurts.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Did you check your team?

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Just now for the first time today. I'm superstitious about looking during the matches.

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

      this happens to me every time i do badly as well!

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, I always see those posts and am skeptical. No clue what happened.

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          I'd like to say I always check but I probably don't and that will be the time it bites me..

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Stupid mistake. I don't deserve the points.

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

    Possible Aguero exit plan? For me:

    Aguero>Jovetic

    and might take a hit to do:

    Austin>Rooney or Sigurdsson>Yaya Toure on top of that

  5. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    What happened to Azpil? Injured or tactical replacement?

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

      Tactical

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

      Didn't see the game but I'm assuming it's tactical because Chelsea needed a goal. Putting a more attacking fullback capable of crossing on their dominant foot makes sense.

    3. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      tactical, dont know what that means for next week. ill just add it to the pile of sh*t to deal with after todays carnage....

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

        😆

    4. Crystal Pulis
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Slight knock too on the contrast with Sissoko

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

    Rooney, RVP or Tekkers?

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

    So there is defo no chance of baps for Aguero?

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

      🙂

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      There's a chance.

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

        it's called no f-ckin

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

        There's more chance of chambers Austin and fabregas playing the next premier league match

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

        So your telling me there's a chance.. Yeh!!

  8. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    28 with Downing and Siggy to play.

    Above average???

    1. Think Tank
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds like it.

  9. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Downing and Mata to save my GW. 🙁

  10. vballer
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    When did Everton become such a sh*t team. -.- I dont think Man city was that good, rather almost everyone on that everton team was pretty off form and team work was really really horrible.

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

      They've been shit all season

      1. RoyaleBlue
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        agreed

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

          They are becoming very predictable and easy to play against. The defence is creaking badly.

          1. sedm2810
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Besic and Barry are so slow to move the ball in midfield.

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

      TBH I would think they are damn unlucky as well. Man shitty shld have gotten 2 red cards, and that penalty call was just nonsense.

    3. 1LHerne
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Typical toothless Everton away performance against more difficult opposition.

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

      Yeah they've been shit against every top team, inconsistent against lesser competition. Been great in the Euro League though, which is weird

  11. super zlatan
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on these two trades for free?

    Kun > Rooney
    Krul > courtois

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

      did Aguero injury look bad? he is flagged on FPL at 75% chance to play.

      seems like everyone here is intent on selling the best player in the league.

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

        He was able to walk off but it looked bad - there were a few tear

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

      Good but wait

  12. UnderstandablyDistraught

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Eriksen played well. Spurs didn't. Nice skills from Bolasie Zaha and Eriksen in that game!

  21. Sticky Mockwell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    What is the worst GW score you've ever had? I'm on 14 with only 3 (Tomkins, Tadic and Siggy) to go this week! My previous worst of 28 is looking pretty distant....
