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.

    Afternoon all. 40 points (post baps and hit) with Terry, Hutton & Ramsey captain to go. Slightly above average maybe?

    1. Margarido
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Well above i guess.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 2 months ago

        A funny week

    2. Dušan Citizen
      12 years, 2 months ago

    Laughing at myself for benching my stoke defence and duff. FFS

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Logic would have said it was the obvious choice.

    2. Margarido
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Also here.
      Wilson and Duff.

      But Caulker and Taylor did their job.

  4. Chu Young Ping Pong
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Pieters on my bench...

  5. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Would it be complete and utter madness to go with no City coverage for the next two GW's and get in Sterling (for Silva). They've got arsenal away and chelsea at home!!!

    1. twitstick
      12 years, 2 months ago

      away to bayern in between too...

  6. Sánchez
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Pieters on bench with double figure score to come 🙁

    1. gravless
      12 years, 2 months ago

  7. JoeShmoe
    12 years, 2 months ago

    18 from 6 players - it aint good, but Saints won so not all bad!

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      See below

  8. Sess!

    12 years, 2 months ago

    18 from 4 inc captain. Presume that's pretty much standard on here today.

  9. Lallana_
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Everything didn't go as plan on my team but that's cool

    Jovetic, de Jong, Rooney all blank
    Begovic cleansheet
    Jones 9 points
    Costa starts

  10. mvtaylor
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Jesus hell I've got 27 from 8.

    I have Heaton, Ferdinand and Pieters on my bench for 21 points.

  11. Count of Monte Hristo
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Costa 😎

  12. Frank Black
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Who's not getting Aguero and waiting for Falcao IF he signs with City?

    1. Dušan Citizen
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero wont be benched anyway

  13. Pedram
    12 years, 2 months ago

    A brace from Costa would save this week for me.

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Agree

  14. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Here's hoping for a Chelsea cleanie and a brace from Diegooooo

  15. McSauce
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone who benched Pieters and Diouf get over it! Happens all the time if you had to choose 100 more times ud prob do the same 99 times!! MOVE ON

  16. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Suddenly the most owned striking partnership Costa and Rooney becomes a differential coming GW 4. Hmmm.. Me like it

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I need to get rid if Rooney. Has been woeful last couple of games.

      1. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 2 months ago

        He gets one more game then I'm wildcarding.

        1. FPL Daniel
          12 years, 2 months ago

          I think I am in the same boat as u. One more GW and WC then..

  17. Deano
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Get ready for WC RMT city around here!

  18. Cluckfuster
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Any news on Mata's injury? To be fair, I might have to get shot of him anyway.

    1. THE Wild Rover
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Got to sell. He will drop .3 over the next gw

  19. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Fabregas assist Terry goal
    Costa goal

    Can't wait

    1. Mr_Partridge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      1-0 Everton

  20. citizen_kane
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Hold on. Didn't Clyne get the assist for the last goal?!? Thought that was a done deal.

    This stinks like Oviedo/Lukaku gw12 last season all over again.

    1. Lallana_
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Love to know as well!

      1. citizen_kane
        12 years, 2 months ago

        I think it comes down to whether or not a player is owned by the guy who makes all the decisions. He probably has a rival who has Clyne.

    2. Mull
      12 years, 2 months ago

      That last sentence is the nerdiest thing I've ever read 😉
      I think Clyne will get the assist.

  21. Lallana_
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Who do you guys have left?

    Ramsey (C)
    Sturridge
    Sterling

      12 years, 2 months ago

      All costa owners in dame boat. Watch him taken off with injury after 10 mins.

  23. hixen
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Sorry guys and girls, if anyone is wondering what happen, it was me.

    Did put my C on Rooney
    Did transfer Costa out for Jovetic
    Did transfer Gilks out for Krul and did bench Bergovic

    Did all this 1 minute before deadline, had Bergovic in goal, did captain Caulker and had Costa.

    Sorry all

  24. ameenkw
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Any chance Siggy will get the assist for the 2nd goal??

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      No as ball came out of box.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        12 years, 2 months ago

        The box has nothing to do with it

    2. THE Wild Rover
      12 years, 2 months ago

      No chance

    3. HUMZAH96
      12 years, 2 months ago

    Who is referred to as "a large gentrleman" in this BBC commentary....

    "Late drama - the Premier League never fails to deliver! Mark Hughes particularly enjoyed that win at Manchester City, but not as much as a large gentleman adorned with Slipknot tattoos who is jumping all over the place in the rain.Calm down there pal. It's not September yet..."

  26. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 2 months ago

    1. Noisy Neighbour
      12 years, 2 months ago

      One of the most unwelcome clean sheets my fantasy team will ever get.

  27. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Negatives: Rooney (C), Mata, Krul, PvA

    Positives: Siggy, Caulker and no City players while my rivals have loads.

    Costa, Hazard, Debuchy, Ramsey and Eriksen left to come....

  28. MountainBeach
