Saturday afternoon continues with a quintet of fixtures to entertain us before Everton square up to Chelsea later on. For many, the main focal point will be at the Etihad as we look to see whether Sergio Aguero will be let off the leash against Stoke, with Stevan Jovetic’s owners anticipating another home brace from the Montenegro striker.

Newcastle have been heavily backed in this week’s Scout Picks and we’ll be hoping to see new boy Siem de Jong justify our show of faith ahead of a very kind run of fixtures. Fantasy managers will also get to run the rule over Palace’s potential in the St James’ Park encounter as Neil Warnock takes the helm for a second time.

Elsewhere, Fantasy favourites such as Steven Caulker will be hoping to make an impact at home to Sunderland, while Gylfi Sigurdsson’s growing band of owners are expecting returns for the third Gameweek in succession as Swansea prepare for the visit of West Brom. West Ham welcome Southampton to Upton Park as Big Sam pins his hopes on Mauro Zarate to inspire his side to another win.

You can look to out Twitter feed for all the lineup from today’s matches.

                  Now I see you really did mean Nathan Dyer, what'd wrong with that ?
                  Home to WBA is a premium fixture, only City were at home of the big teams but they were up against traditionally resilient Stoke
                  Sure it's a punt on a differential and it's worked out - but it's far away from a daft move from someone who doesn't know what they're doing
                  Chin up and stop moaning about being out-played!

              I think he did exactly the right thing and got a lot of abuse for saying it last year......
              If you do a hit make sure it is worth putting your armband on him...

              1. JT's Dog
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  Yeah but dyer
                  Completely overshadowed my Siggy captain

                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  But not saying you have to to put your armband on the hit, just make sure the hit is good enough for you to do it. Otherwise don't take the hit

              Costa benchers worse than Costa sellers?

              1. Wakka Wakkas
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                Yes.

                Always start him. If he doesn't play then you have bench come in.

                feels that way, but at least we still have him for the inevitable price rise 🙂

                No. The benchers have at least saved two transfers.

                Mourinho did his best to convince people that he might get a 15-minute cameo at best

              Begovic to Green
              Terry to Ivanovic
              Caulker to Clyne
              Manquillo to Robertson
              Baird to Wisdom
              Yaya to Ramsey
              Albrighton to Ward Prowse
              Rooney to Costa
              Sturridge to Aguero + 1m

              What I plan to do with my WC. Is it good? Or shall I stick?

                Think I'd keep Studge

                  • 15 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  Keep Studge and use 1.5m elsewhere? Could save the 1.5 too

                Not this one. The players will go first if they don't buck up.

              Exciting games now. Jov(C) and Aguero as well as scouting Tadic and De Jong as Mata replacement.

                      Great is an overstatement, his goal numbers were skewed by the unprecedented amount of penalties

              Why would anyone get rid of a United defender?

                Tbf, I only kept because the next two (Burnley, QPR) are that bad.

              Mata + Costa –> de Jong + Aguero going well so far 🙂

              Rooney and Mata to Aguero and Tadic/De Jong?

                Sounds good. I took them out for Aguero & Siggy this week; form over fixtures, however good they are.
