Welcome back for a round-up of the games that took place in the second part of the double gameweek. The last article solely focussed on the fixtures that were played out on Saturday, this section of the weekly Suffix will sweep up the games that were played on Sunday, plus the Tuesday and Wednesday evening fixtures that featured the four teams playing twice this week. There were some twists and turns involved along the way as well as some somewhat surprising results. The action began back on Sunday lunchtime at Goodison Park where Everton hosted Manchester United.

EVE v MUN
Leading the line for Manchester United were two Everton old boys in the form of Wayne Rooney and Marouane Fellaini. Mirallas was dropped to the bench for the hosts, despite scoring last time out. It took five minutes for Everton to set their stall out for the afternoon; United were awarded a corner, went forward in numbers, but were caught on the break. The ball was sent into the United area by Coleman, and the ball was only cleared as far as James McCarthy who scored his second of the season. No assist was awarded. Fellaini missed a good chance a couple of minutes later before collecting a yellow card for a foul on Barkley. On 35 minutes John Stones scored his first for the Toffees to double their lead, ably assisted by Leighton Baines who took the corner that Stones got to first.

Falcao was introduced at half-time for Fellaini, but continued his poor run of form as he attempted to lead the line for United. Just after the hour, Di Maria replaced Mata and Mirallas was brought on for Osman. On 74 minutes Ross Barkley sent in a hopeful ball that Valencia should have cleared, but the makeshift right back decided instead to appeal for offside and leave Kevin Mirallas to go one on one with David De Gea to score his second in two games and Everton's third of the day. Game over. Bonus points were awarded as follows:

Stones - 3pts
McCarthy - 2pts
Baines & Barkley - 1pt

ARS v CHE
This was the return of Fabregas, once the golden boy of the Arsenal faithful who was guaranteed an “interesting” reception from those who had once worshipped their former captain. Mourinho sent out an unusual looking side, with the continued absence of Costa and Remy, Oscar was preferred to lead the attack in the central position, supported by Willian and Hazard. On 15 minutes, Oscar very nearly put Chelsea ahead, following a move that saw him get ahead of Koscielny and chip a ball over Ospina. however, Bellerin was on hand to clear and it remained goalless. Ospina connected hard with Oscar though, and it looked like a stonewall penalty, but referee Oliver thought otherwise. After lengthy treatment Oscar was able to continue. Fabregas was booked for a pathetic dive in the area as he tripped over the space that Cazorla's leg had been in a second or so earlier.

Arsenal were perhaps unlucky not to get a penalty as Gary Cahill handled the ball following a shot from Cazorla, but nothing was given. At the break, Drogba replaced Oscar who was taken to hospital with suspected concussion following the earlier challenge by Ospina. In the second half, there were few chances of real note, with Giroud being soundly marshalled by John Terry and Didier Drogba wishing he was the Didier Drogba of a few years ago. In the last minute of injury time, Courtois went down heavily after claiming a cross, in a situation that would have repercussions in a few days time. The game finished 0-0.

Koscielny, Mertesacker & Terry - 3pts

HUL v LIV
With many FPL managers loading up on the maximum number of Liverpool players due to their double fixtures, and having being left disappointed in the main following the 0-0 draw at West Brom, big things were expected. Admittedly, the returns had been there on Saturday - but only for the defenders and goalkeeper. For those with Sterling, Henderson and Coutinho in their teams, the nerves were jangling. Hull, buoyed by a terrific 2-0 away win at Palace on Saturday were eager to capitalise on the momentum and pull clear of the bottom three. As the game progressed it was clear to see that Liverpool are stuttering to the finishing line, and with Balotelli upfront presented no real threat other than from Coutinho and to a lesser extent , Henderson. Sterling was barely in the game and looked more like a £100 a week player, rather than a £100,000 a week superstar.

The inevitable breakthrough for the home side came in the 37th minute when Michael Dawson scored his first goal in over two years, rising high to head home Elmohamady's cross. There was a hint of offside in the build up, but the goal stood. Glenn Johnson cleared off the line to prevent a Hull second, while at the other end Harper saved well from a Jordan Henderson volley. Balotelli was withdrawn after 65 minutes, having arguably shed pounds off his price tag rather than increase his value ready for the inevitable dumping in the Summer. Back to back clean sheets for Hull for the first time since 2013, and the haunting prospect of Europa League football for Liverpool. From an FPL point of view, incredibly disappointing, and perhaps a lesson to be learnt about disregarding Hull prior to the gameweek starting with all the talk about megapoints from Chelsea, Liverpool and to a lesser extent, Leicester.

Harper & Dawson - 3pts
Elmohamady - 1pt

LEI v CHE
The final match in this double gameweek saw a hugely improved Leicester side take on the soon to be crowned Champions. Schlupp continued to miss out through injury, but the doubts about Vardy were ill founded as he continued to play through the pain barrier. For Chelsea, Oscar was fit enough only for the bench, along with Courtois who had injured his hip following that heavy fall on Sunday. Leicester took the game to Chelsea, but were forced to lose Andy King and Robert Huth to injury early on who were replaced by Ritchie De Laet and Matty James. They deservedly took the lead - and wiped out the Chelsea clean sheets for thousands of FPL managers - just before half-time when Marc Albrighton put the ball past Petr Cech following a pass from Jamie Vardy. No doubt the riot act was read by Mourinho at the break as Chelsea came out with a sense of purpose following the restart.

It took veteran striker Didier Drogba three minutes to sweep home a cross from Branislav Ivanovic to put Chelsea back on terms, before missing a sitter a few minutes later. The second goal for the visitors came from a corner taken by Fabregas which was met by Gary Cahill before falling to John Terry who scored for the 15th consecutive Premier League season. As Leicester started to fatigue, Chelsea capitalised and Ramires scored with a stunning shot from the edge of the Leicester area to make it 3-1. The assist was made by Fabregas. The FPL site went into a bit of a meltdown, with Ivanovic being incorrectly credited with three assists instead of one, but normal order was restored once the gremlins were sorted out.

Albrighton - 3pts
Terry - 2pts
Fabregas - 1pt


And so concludes the second of three double gameweeks for this years Premier League. The loss for Leicester shouldn't spark an exodus of their players from your team. They still look good value for points, whereas Liverpool on the other hand...well. Only you know if it is worth keeping faith with them. We now have two “normal” weeks before the final double of the season which involves only Arsenal and Sunderland. Common sense would suggest loading up on Arsenal players, but as we have recently seen with QPR and Aston Villa in DGW31 and Leicester and Hull in DGW34 it is perhaps the teams with their backs to the walls where the points are to be found. Connor Wickham now has two goals in his last two games, so he may be one to watch - just like he was this time last year.
