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.

    Was tough to ignore all the Jovetic hype... but feels good to avoided that one...

    1. Captain Shirokov

    2. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years

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

    Think they need Dzeko on to deal with those beasts 😉

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

      Jovetic –> Dzeko fine by me 😉

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Kompany should be enough to handle Shawcross if things get worse..

  6. Willis.
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Why didn't Tadic score a goal??

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

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

    In all honesty, regardless of which players we have/don't have, what a fascinating week. We're so lucky having a domestic league this unpredictably fantastic.

    1. Djerbil

    People saying they need to get rid of Mata, but Utd should be much improved with Blind and Rojo
    Home to QPR

    Think I have more immediate concerns than Mata at home to QPR

        11 years, 3 months ago

        15 points from three matches nothing wrong with that
        7 goals from none matches nothing wrong with that
        Fixtures, nothing wrong with them

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

      Rojo's transfer might be cancelled if they won't be able to solve the issues.

    5. Mr. Fish
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Come on Costa.. 19 with 6 left to play but my captain is gone. If Ramsey doesn't go too crazy then it shouldn't be too bad this week. Think a good few have him as captain but most would have had the aguero, rooneys and jovetic.

    6. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      37, 4 to go. 2 FTs. Not sure whether to be happy or not, it's still going to be a rank drop 😛
