Game week 29 delivers a quartet of three o’clock kick offs before Man City make their way to Burnley in the evening’s Turf Moor showdown. Arsenal could make it five wins on the bounce when they host West Ham at the Emirates, whilst Tony Pulis will be looking to get one over former club Stoke as the Baggies look to bounce back from a pair of defeats to midlands rivals Villa.

Arsenal attempt to record an eighth successive home league win as they welcome London rivals West Ham United to their backyard. Olivier Giroud is the Gunners’ form man coming into this match-up, having netted in each of his last three starts. With five assists in seven outings, Mesut Ozil also looks back to his best, whilst Alexis Sanchez’ owners will be hoping for more of the same after the Chilean was amongst the goals at QPR last time out. The big news from the Gunners’ teamsheet is that both Santi Cazorla and Hector Bellerin have been relegated to the bench with Theo Walcott and Calum Chambers earning starts.

Leicester City search for their first win in six attempts as they play host to Hull City at the King Power Stadium. We’ll be hoping for big performances from Scout Pick Jeffrey Schlupp and Spot the Differential candidate Riyad Mahrez as the hosts embark on the first of seven home matches in their remaining 11 fixtures. Hull new boy Dame N’Doye will hope to consign Leicester to further misery at the foot of the table, having scored in all three of his starts for Steve Bruce’s outfit.

Sunderland entertain a resurgent Aston Villa side at the Stadium of Light as they strive to snap a five match winless streak. Those 2% of Fantasy mangers that picked up Jermain Defoe as a differential may call time on the 32-year-old if he fails to deliver for a fifth successive league outing. As for Villa, Tim Sherwood is able to call on Christian Benteke in today’s lineup as he recovers from a knock which saw him miss last weekend’s FA Cup quarter-final victory.

West Bromwich Albion have their work cut out as they welcome a Stoke City team that are unbeaten in their last three away trips. Saido Berahino, who’s bagged three in four starts, will need to be marked diligently by the Potters’ defence, while Victor Moses will likely carry the threat to the Baggies.

Just three Gameweeks after holding leaders Chelsea to a draw at Stamford Bridge, Burnley face a home match-up against the Blues’ fellow title-chasers Manchester City. The hosts’ top scorer Danny Ings will fancy his chances against a Sky Blues defence that’s not recorded an away clean sheet since early December. For the visitors, David Silva’s 23.9% ownership will count on the Spanish playmaker to emulate his goalscoring exploits of last week, whilst Captain Poll favourite Sergio Aguero will be looking to continue the form that has seen him serve up returns in ten of his 12 away appearances.

  9. Not Irish
    • 12 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      yep, he'll get plenty of points and as long as you have some decent back up Im ok with him not starting sometimes

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed. I actually was happy with Pva coming on for him.........until THAT!

      2. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Chambers is horrid at RB, Bellerin just got a rest before the CL game.

      Debuchy is around the corner though... just be ready to drop when he comes back

    6. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years

  10. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Would you rather

    30: play Austin (EVE) and Begovic (CPL)
    31: Siggy (HUL) and go 3-5-2
    32: Siggy (EVE)
    33: Begovic filling Panti's blank, Siggy (lei)

    or

    just do JWP + Austin -> Bentaleb + Giroud and have Giroud and Panti for all gws, trying to sort out their blanks 33?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

  14. tm245
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    99% of the top 10k own Kane yet only 3% captained him.

    1. chrisjdgrady
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      People see the name Manchester United and panic. He's a good choice imo

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I hope so. My only chance of crawling back up the ranks is matches like this one.

    2. SW6
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I'm one of them 🙂

  23. Make United Great Again

  24. Davido989

  25. ralfb
    • 11 Years

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      1. ralfb

  27. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    although i didnt get schlupp as i view saving FT more essential...but still it should be a lesson to those who keep saying its a poor move etc just becos he plays for LEI

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

  28. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone else groan when they see Aguero and Dzeko up front, reckon Kun scores a lot more FPL points when Dzeko is not there. (Just a theory of mine do)

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Yup, prefer Kun up top and Silva in the hole behind ... And Dzeko on his holidays.

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I was quite happy not to see Bony

  29. 7shadesofsmoke
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    anyone know what happened to Foster today?

  30. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    So Kane or Aguero(c) next week?

    Aguero v a solid West Brom
    Kane v a back 5 of Leicester
    Maybe Hazard@Hull?

    1. Exeter Gently
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      hazard could be a brilliant shout

    2. Pedram
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Has to be Kane

    3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Kane or Haz
