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.

    City have created more chances in 5mins than United in 90.

        Don't think it was given United's defence at the moment and the fact Newcastle were (H) to Palace

          Everyone's an expert afterwards though - you should know that by now!

        Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

          I thought Newcastle were going to keep a cs. But I thought Man U were as well.

                Yeah - Palace have an abundance of terrific strikers.

  5. Indalo

    Rooney and Mata blanked but De Gea got a clean sheet and Siggy has an early assist to his name so not too bad!

  9. The Machine
    • 13 Years

    Over 4000 in the top 10k don't have suggy

    Less than 400 captained him

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      what the hell - that first stat surprises me.

    2. The Chosen One...
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Top 10k at this stage is nothing special

  10. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Rooney need to get lost out of my team.

  11. Billy Gilmore
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Kolarov(c) looking lively, if a bit wayward.

  12. Damo.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Barton in UFPL for me I think

    1. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      How u doing in it?

      1. Damo.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 11 months ago

        135 before kick off today. Expect to drop a bit this week.

        1. Damo.
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Have Matic but I think the likes of Barton or Jedinak might be better value.

  13. Saosin
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Switched the band from Siggy to Rooney and decided to start Coloccini instead of PvA last minute. Yay..

  14. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Mmmm

    Rooney, Mata and Eriksen -> Jovetic, Hazard and Sterling/Silva

    Or should I try to crowbar in Aguero?

    Any initial thoughts

  15. Butcher
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Ramsey will score more points than Siggurdson so keep calm Ramsey (c)

  16. CellinoArmy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Oh Dear.. So this week I sold blackett for colo, captained rooney, and made Siggy VC.

    RIP DreamTeam 1 million rank coming up.

  17. joe259
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    My mid and forwards:

    sterling, ramsey, di maria, siggy, FABREGAS
    costa, DZEKO

    Since I don't have spurs cover, I am thinking of getting ADEBAYOR for dzeko. As a result, I will be left with no city cover. So Fabregas to Silva.
    Is it worth selling Fab to get Silva??
    Really confused..

  18. CTID_
    • 12 Years

    looks like its going to be a bad week got krul,rooney,mata,Coloccini

    1. CellinoArmy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I know how you feel 🙁

  19. Fray Bentos
    • 17 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Siggy really is fantasy gold!

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He really is

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

    Stoke have gone there to play...

  21. BDMC5
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Having Rooney and Mata in my team seems crazy given United are so poor. Captaining Rooney today on top of that was Def based on past form and rep rather than looking at the form and fixtures in the cold light of day.

    Tempted to put siggy captain today but didn't have the stomach for it.serious respect to those that captained him if there any put there

  22. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Losing Mata I agree with - I took him out last week and still don't regret it. Dropping Roon ahead of QPR is asking for trouble though, especially with few big strikers in form.

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

      I'm still glad I did Mata>Sterling GW1, Rooney is plenty Utd.

  23. The Team Principal
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone know why Dummett isn't playing?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      His position in the team was alwayss precarious with Haidara about. Unlucky.

    2. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Lucky now though right?

      1. The Team Principal
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I put him in at about 11:25 this morning but it's not a disaster, now. I just saw 4.0 and my eyes lit up!

  24. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Siggy will be an FPL legend. What a man. 😀

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He has been and always will be.

    2. Demí
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      First season? He always was

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Just the 2nd season playing seriously. I was a Siggy virgin. 😀

        1. Demí
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Ah

          You're in for a treat 😉

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years

      2. Diva
        • 12 Years

        Yep, straight in my team the moment he rejoined Swansea. 🙂

    3. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      As the 2 gentlemen below me have said, Siggy, when playing regularly is FPL gold

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Above m8

          😳

          silly me

      2. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I feel I'm biased against captaining him because of his price, when really he's as good a shout as any with a good fixture.

  25. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Krul and Collo, damn 😐

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Same but can't complain after last week

  26. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Damn newcastle, should have played pva instead of double newcastle defenders

  27. CTID_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    need jovetic to go big

  28. vova
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Should have capped Siggy instead of Rooney but at least I have him 🙂

    1. Mull
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I'd still captain Rooney if the game was played again.

  29. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Swansea really impressive, could be a cricket score today.

  30. In Like Flynn.
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Get Dummett on quick.

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      You didn't, did you?
