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.

  2. Owd Big 'Ed

    Is Taylor playing for Swansea?

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

      yeh

  3. Rafe63
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Falcao to city... apparently its almost done...

    1. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Done hours ago.

      1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Serious?

        So much trolling on here these days I never know what to believe

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

        Not good not good. They might be favorites for the title again... don't like it at all. We bought Remy instead..

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

      Not really.

    3. chrisjdgrady
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Seriously?

    4. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Gonna be a headache owning any city striker this season

      1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Falcao and Aguero HAVE to be 1st choice surely. Two of the best strikers in the world

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

          Means Aguero can actually be rotated and rested though.

    5. Rafe63
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      based on betting odds it seems... bookies must know more than we do.

  4. Koflok
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So far so good.

    No goal from Jovetic / Aguero
    Begovic CS halfway there
    PvA conceeded.
    Rio CS halfway there
    Siggy assist

  5. 1NAM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Austin my first sub. Heard he'd come off the bench at some point so didn't want a one pointer cameo. Gutted

  6. Sam
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Benched Austin. RTs and prayers appreciated.

    1. 1NAM
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

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

      Yes. If anyone will get one it would be Pelle but I can't see it.

      1. Sigga -Cardiff City-
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Tadic?

      2. Daniel Porridge
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        cheers. Dyer is one bandwaggon to look out for

  10. UnderstandablyDistraught
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    It's Milner time

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

      It's never Milner time.

  11. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Jovetic 2nd half hatter incoming.

    1. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Change this to Dezko and your nailed on.

  12. Somalion
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Might as well say it. They miss Dzeko.

    6"4 striker is the right choice vs Stoke's defenders...

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

      Probably right, yeah

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I think so.

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

      Have Jovetic and completely agree. Should come on at the half

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Methinks so, one of the few matches I would have expected him to be nailed on for.

    3. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yep, unfortunately it'll be for Aguero in all likelihood 🙁

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Possibly, might have another 15 or 20 minutes in him though.

    4. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Is your team R2-Michu?

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yes sir 😀

        1. Mílanista
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Ok, just a bit of friendly notice that I'll be taking 3 points from you in the LAWR league this weekend 😉

          1. Somalion
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Bit of unfriendly notice to say you certainly will not 😉

            1. Mílanista
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Watch out, my captain is a 6"4 striker that's soon to come off the bench 😉

              1. Somalion
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                So I see, mine is the Welsh Messi 😉

                Now I am in a conundrum, do I want Dzeko on or you to get your Rooney VC? 😉

                1. Mílanista
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  You want Dzeko to come on, mop up the points and vindicate your choice of City striker over the kneejerkers 😉

                  1. Somalion
                    • 15 Years
                    11 years, 3 months ago

                    This is true, as long as Rambo scores more 😉

  13. Svidde
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Mata-> Nasri or Silva? Have rambo, sterling and siggy and cant afford fab

  14. Sebbo29
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Calm down everyone, still one half to go, a lot can happen

  15. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Glad i didn't jump on Krul's bandwagon.

    Hoping for a Begovic clean sheet or some save points. 🙂

  16. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    (c) Jovetic or Rooney all seems a bit silly now...

    1. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      at least rooney got 2 pts

    2. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Quite

  17. RyanC
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Just 45 more mins to watch City from behind the sofa and hope Bego keeps that clean sheet...

    1. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      hiding? 😉

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm guessing he's your only GK.

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

        Decent fixtures up until November aside from this game. Hardly worth a point hit or a FT to take him out.

  18. 50shades of o'shea
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    As it stands my wc team is a let down. But I looked ahead rather than this gameweek. At least Janmaat did this business. Come on aguero (c)!!!!!!!

  19. JoeShmoe
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    going to be a v low scoring week if it finishes like this

  20. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero(C) 🙁

    Keep him on, Pelle.

    Dzeko'll probably come on and score.

  21. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    people were scared during the chelsea ht break and then they do it all second half, always happens

    1. HUMZAH96
        11 years, 3 months ago

        This

    2. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Very fortuitous goal for West Ham that.

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

        Very very

        1. Jax
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          all count

    3. Carlos Danger
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      good lord what a joke of a goal for newcastle 🙁

    4. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      12 from 8 incl (c)

      Going to be my worst ever gameweek

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

        OUCH

      2. Kew Pee Arr
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Lots of other players too, so I wouldn't be worried.

    5. Calm
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      All going to plan so far. Now Dzeko come off the bench and get me some points!

    6. Ridgewell's scores
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Goodness gracious those highlights, seems like I'm switching to SWA - WBA for the second half.

    7. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Just having a little offtop, would you rather have:

      A. Eriksen / Lamela + Balo / Sturridge
      or
      B. Sterling + Adebayor

      ?

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

        Ask after the game tomorrow!

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

      Bego on the same amount of saves as Hart!

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

      Bad week to take a hit (especially as Dummett was part of the triple transfer). Going to hurt.

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Same.

        IN: Dummett + Lamela + Adebayor (c)

        OUT: Isla + Mutch + Giroud

    10. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd like a goal from Naylor please

      1. 1NAM
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yes please

      2. HUMZAH96
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Same

          Wouldn't mind a couple more from Siggy
