Out: Fantasy-relevant players who have been confirmed out for the week, either through injury or suspension
Doubt: Players facing the dreaded fitness test, rotation concerns and those who are out of form/favour
In: The likeliest replacements for the Outs & Doubts or those returning from injury
Win: Fantasy player to watch / my hunch pick of the week
__________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Francis Coquelin, Alexis Sanchez, Mikel Arteta, Jack Wilshere, Santi Cazorla
Doubt: N/A
In: Joel Campbell, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott
Win: Mesut Özil
The German has continued to prove time and time again why he's coming one of the best players, not to mention creative in the Premier League this season. Can he do it again against Villa?
_________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Jordan Amavi, Tiago Ilori, Micah Richards
Doubt: Jack Grealish
In: Jores Okore
Win: Carlos Sanchez
The Colombian will have to be in fine form if he wants to stop the Gunners. On his day, he's got the quality to stifle the best attacking midfielders.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Max Gradel, Tyrone Mings, Callum Wilson, Tommy Elphick, Marc Pugh, Christian Atsu, Lee Tomlin
Doubt: Adam Federici
In: Andrew Surman
Win: Matt Ritchie
A big win for the Cherries against the defending Premier League champions last week only boosted their confidence. Can they do it again against Manchester United? Ritchie will be the key man in midfield.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: N/A
Doubt: Radamel Falcao
In: N/A
Win: Willian
They have to win. Simple as that. Despite qualification to the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, that doesn't help their league campaign and they desperately need to get three points to continue their hunt for qualification to the Europa League, will be against the league leaders Leicester.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Bakary Sako, Dwight Gayle, Mile Jedinak
Doubt: N/A
In: Wilfried Zaha
Win: Yohan Cabaye
The Frenchman will have to be in fine form if they want to stop this Southampton side.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Bryan Oviedo, Phil Jagielka, Luke Garbutt
Doubt: James McCarthy, Leighton Baines
In: Tom Cleverley (maybe)
Win: Romelu Lukaku
With everything the attack has to offer, they need to start turning those draws into wins as soon as possible. Norwich City might end that run if Lukaku can't replicate the form he's been in.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Ritchie De Laet
Doubt: N/A
In: N/A
Win: Riyad Mahrez
It's amazing to see the performances that this Leicester side is performing top of the league. Their opponents who were top of the league exactly last year will be looking to do the same to end their good run of form, but Jamie Vardy and Mahrez have been sensational and the only way for them is up and they might continue that up until 2016.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Mamadou Sakho, Joe Gomez, Danny Ings, Daniel Sturridge
Doubt: Jordan Ibe, Joe Allen
In: Philippe Coutinho, Emre Can
Win: Philippe Coutinho
Having lost to Newcastle last weekend, Jurgen Klopp's men will need to forget about that with a win against West Brom. With Coutinho returning to the fold, their chances look a lot better.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany, Fernando, Samir Nasri, Pablo Zabaleta
Doubt: Martín Demichelis, Vincent Kompany
In: Wilfried Bony
Win: Raheem Sterling
A lost to Stoke isn't exactly the best way to try and gain momentum in the league, but they will have to forget about that and focus on a home win against Swansea City.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Ander Herrera, Phil Jones, Luke Shaw, Antonio Valencia, Marcos Rojo, Bastian Schweinsteiger (suspended), Wayne Rooney, Matteo Darmian, Chris Smalling
Doubt: Morgan Schneiderlin
In: Patrick McNair, Guillermo Varela, Ashley Young, Marouane Fellaini
Win: David de Gea
It's not been exactly the best week for the 20 time champions having been dumped out of the Champions League and into the Europa League, but now is not the time to be upset but to pick up points immediately. Bournemouth awaits. With so many injuries, though, it's hard to rely on anyone other than De Gea.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Tim Krul, Rolando Aarons, Cheikh Tiote
Doubt: Jamaal Lascelles, Mike Williamson
In: Vurnon Anita
Win: Moussa Sissoko
A win against Liverpool boosted their confidence even further, but will it be enough to give Spurs their second loss of the season? Sissoko will have to be in fine form for this one.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Matt Jarvis
Doubt: Wesley Hoolahan
In: Russell Martin
Win: Robbie Brady
Brady has been among the most consistent performers for Norwich this season, whether he's lining up at left back or in midfield. If the Canaries are going to get anything out of Everton, Brady will have to be at his best.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Jay Rodriguez
Doubt: Oriol Romeu (rotation), Shane Long (rotation)
In: Graziano Pelle, Victor Wanyama
Win: Dusan Tadic
Tadic, with Pelle will have to try to create and score goals against the Eagles to help Ronald Koeman's men try and achieve more wins.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Peter Crouch
Doubt: N/A
In: N/A
Win: Bojan
A win against Manchester City gave joy to the Potters, but can they emulate that against West Ham? Bojan and Xherdan Shaqiri will have to do perform in a similar vein as their performance against Man City
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Sebastian Larrson
Doubt: Steven Fletcher, Lee Cattermole
In: Jermain Defoe
Win: Patrick van Aanholt
PVA will definitely need to try and be the main fan for this one after losing to Arsenal last week, can they get something against Watford?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Eder, Franck Tabanou
Doubt: Ki Sung-Yueng (rotation)
In: Jonjo Shelvey
Win: Jefferson Montero
If Stoke can do it, why can't Swansea? Although, it might be a bit different with the sacking of Garry Monk, so it'll be tough against Manchester City. Montero should be in the starting lineup no matter who is in charge.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Ryan Mason
Doubt: Mousa Dembele, Eric Dier
Win: Christian Eriksen
Having only lost once this season, Spurs are in a great position to add to their points tally against Newcastle. Eriksen should be influential here.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Valon Behrami, Sebastian Prodl
Doubt: Heurelho Gomes
In: Ben Watson
Win: Odion Ighalo
Watford will have to rely on Ighalo to get the points against Sunderland.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Ben Foster, Stephane Sessegnon
Doubt: Jonas Olsson (rotation)
In: Claudio Yacob
Win: Salomon Rondon
Rickie Lambert will face his former team this weekend, but it's much more likely Rondon will get the start, and he could cause problems for the Reds.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Out: Dimitri Payet, Enner Valencia, Diafra Sakho, Winston Reid, Manuel Lanzini, Victor Moses
Doubt: N/A
In: Michael Antonio
Win: Andy Carroll
Carroll will have to do something if they want to beat Stoke City, especially with all of the other injuries in the squad.
