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.

    I think if Kolarov plays all the time he is good for 180 pts. That delivery for YYT was great. His movement in the box is absolutely great..

  12. Frank Black
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I need a Caulker goal, no one cares about Austin.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

  19. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years

  20. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So just realised ML leader has the armband on Kompany and has Joe Hart as well as Routledge. Only had 3 play as well.

  21. Woy of the Wovers
    • 15 Years

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years

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

    Couple of questions and fictional problems.
    If i already have 3 Chelsea players i know i get to keep em even if i get a 4th due to a transfer made in real life...... for the ones don't understanding let's say Rooney is bought bye Chelsea, you now own and have 4 Chelsea-players.

    1. But, and i pretty much know the answer, if i then want to transfer say JT, who is one of the 4 i now have to Cahill, who is one of the ones i don't have i am not allowed am i?

    2. I also guess i can only play 3 out of my 4 Chelsea players from start?

    3. And of course, in case they play a match they are expected to win and keep a cs in should i put my 4th chelseaplayer as my first sub to then get him in (Chelsea for Chelsea)

    Thank you in advance as this might be a reallity soon. Chelsea could of course be subbed to another team

    1. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If you have 4 players from one team, you have to get rid of one if you want to make a transfer after that. You can start all four though.

    2. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You can play all 4 but you'll have to transfer one out first before you can do other transfers.

    3. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No to all 3

    4. JWF
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      1) As soon as you want to make ANY transfer you'll have to lose one of your four Chelsea players
      2) You can play all four
      3) See above

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

      Thank you guys for your time and effort to aply, makes me realy want to not make anymore transfers with my team......but back from Narnia, feck......

      at lleast if it is a part of my wc i'll probably can make it work for a while......

    I do enjoy all clean sheets being lost before half time, after a captain blank. Now I just need all my defenders to score a goal in the second half to make up for it 🙂

  26. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Wison nailed on? Above Huth in the pecking order?

    1. HUMZAH96
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Good question

      • Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Looks that way. Might bring him in next week. Stoke got a great run.

        1. HUMZAH96
            11 years, 3 months ago

            This

            Though Huth just recovered from injury... Hughes wouldn't throw him in against Ciy

      • JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        strange feeling

        feel vindicated for championing Austin all pre-season

        feel like a mug for selling him and playing Clyne

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Unlucky JK, you were right all along!

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            yup, and I knew I'd feel crap if he scored and I didn't have him

            sure enough

            1. Bubz
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Not much you can do when he appeared to be injured

        2. Heydudes13
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Why did we sell him again?

          I've forgotten.

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            he was supposed to be injured

            1. Heydudes13
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Naismith goal, assist.

              1. JK - Cønt ⭐

                • 14 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                he's on my bench

                this will compound the misery

        3. Timtastic03
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Wouldn't happen even if City score 5 before 60.

        4. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Well that's obviously not going to happen. On for Aguero on 60 mins.

        Swansea looking very good this year. Will have a cheeky bet on them finishing higher then United,

        1. Woy
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          That's in no way cheeky.

          I stuck a quid on united to get relagated.... thats cheeky.

          1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Already have a tenner on a United bottom half finish.

                • 14 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                Almost certainly
