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.

    35 points, 5 to go.

    2FTs going into the international break and kept Costa.

    🙂

      35 4 to go including (c), kept Costa and 2 FTs 😀

      Shame about Austin though

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

        Naismith can atone for that. 😉

          not on my bench he can't 🙁

    2. Licky
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Not two pages ago that was a sad face.

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

        Yeah, realised it was a good score. 🙁 🙂

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

          Still depends on how the rest of the GW goes. 😉

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

            It does!

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

      28, 4 to go

      2FTs going into the international break and kept Costa.

      🙂

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

        Nice one. 🙂

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

      36, 4 to go, 1 FT but happy!

    5. Mr. Fish
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 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, 11 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 😛

  2. ZE GERMANS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Benched ShawX and Bego today...now watch them concede LEI

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

    Was planning on wildcarding from

    Bego (Gilks)
    Terry Bertrand Chambers (Chester Duff)
    Ramsey Fab Sterling Sig (Wanyama)
    Rooney Dzeko Jovetic

    to

    Krul (Elliot)
    Bertrand Taylor Coloccini (Chester Duff)
    Ramsey Hazard Sterling Sig (Wanyama)
    Kun Rooney Ade

    This would have been a -24.

    However now thinking I could just do Jovetic Dzeko Terry to Kun Ade Naylor for -8 instead

    Thoughts?

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

      Aguero is away at arsenal next week. Sure you can wait one more game and just take -4.

      1. Coaly
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 11 months ago

        He'll rise though which would be a blow as that -8 would leave me a nice round .5 itb

  4. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Why is everyone bullying Humzah... 🙄

    1. HUMZAH96
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I dunno man, I just wanna help

      Post line-ups, goals, transfer news, bonus points etc

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

        Is not shutting up about Costa included in the 'etc'?

    2. ZE GERMANS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      who?

  5. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Mata > ? Next week

    I have Rooney and one utd player is enough at the moment.

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Thinking sterling.

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

        Already have sterling, fab, Ramsey and siggy (playing 5 in midfield)

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

        Yep. L'pool only got Everton as tricky fixture in next 6 I think... Double check mind you.

    2. SENTI CAZORLA
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Sterling

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

      In a similar position.

      Already have Ramsey, Siggy, and Sterling

      I have Costa, so don't really want Cesc/Haz
      I have Ade so don't really want Erilkson/lamella/chadli

      Considering Tadic, waiting on MoTD to see how he played

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

        I hear he pumps loads of balls in box but still hasn't registered many points. Maybe next week is the start?

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

      Thinking maybe puncheon/zaha and upgrading elsewhere

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

        .....or lamela

  6. MountainBeach
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Did Austin get injured today?

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

      No.

      Harry wanted to hold what we had so he bought Zamora on as a hold up man. Austin played well and was fine when he went off.

  7. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    26 points if Clyne gets his assist.

    4 to play.

    Rooney (c)

    FML

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

      Don't think he's going to get it sadly 🙁

    2. citizen_kane
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Just count the points into your total score manually for the rest of the season. The only way to beat the rigged system.

      1. NASL Shootout
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I'm definitely going to do this. I've awarded Jovetic 3 bonus for today, for example.

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

    Costa has become a huge differential in my ML 😀

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

      And here. Feels good

    2. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      i have one with him captain

  9. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    1-0 Everton would be fantastic

    1. Admiral Stark
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Coleman 😉

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

    42 incl baps with 3 + Ramsey (c)

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

      Nicely done

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Wow very nice

  11. PGR
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Why has Schurrle been dropped?

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

      Rumour that he got caught naked in the shower with a ball boy and that Ashley Cole came back to shoot him, so he kept his mouth shot. Unfortunately I have not been able to confirm the allegation.

  12. The Machine
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    6 goals for swansea this season, and nothing for Bony yet. Biggest flop of the season?

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

      Surely that accolade goes to United's whole team.

    2. A Wild Lurker Appeared
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Hardly. His hold up play has been fantastic.

      1. The Machine
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I mean in FPL of course

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He's playing much more of a hold up role, which is exactly what he needed to do when they had Michu there.

      Still, lovely for the mids.

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

        And he was wide open for the third goal for a square pass, but Dyer chose to finish it on his own. A little scuffed finish too.

    4. The Shoonchy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      More importantly, Nathan Dyer has scored three goals from Sigurdsson's assists. Maybe Dyer isn't such a bad bet after all, if Swans keep the same team lineup.

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

        Always had a great nose for goal, game time was the issue. Monitoring as well.

  13. ZE GERMANS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Fab to save the day...my benched stoke/duff points hurts

  14. A Wild Lurker Appeared
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Which is a better combo guys, Eriksen and Sterling, or Dyer and Hazard?

    1. HUMZAH96
      11 years, 11 months ago

      1

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

    Who saw that coming 😆

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

    Will Clyne get a assist ?

    1. A Wild Lurker Appeared
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      No.

    2. citizen_kane
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

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

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      no

  17. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Was all prepared to WC this week but they seem to have done OK. Really don't know now

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

    LOL Pelly. Will sacrifice the fantasy for the result.

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

      Congrats on a crucial point earlier 😉

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

        At least we have excuses ATM.

  19. Podge
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    48 (-4) if the baps stay as they are, need a low scoring Chelsea loss now 🙂

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

      Pretty impressive

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

        Thanks, terrified now though, no Chelski and no Pool

  20. citizen_kane
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone think Clyne will get the assist after a review?

  21. RyanC
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    29 with BAPS and Clyne assist with Terry, Ramsey, Hazard and Costa to play. Pleased with that so far after the Rooney (c) fail.

  22. Reckoner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Sometimes you know you have got a bit better at this game when you know to ignore some comments.

    Keeping Mata and buying Jovetic were both preventable disasters.

    1. chuckberry04
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Ok captain hindsight..

      And like how Mata scored and got 3 BAPs last week?

  23. ZE GERMANS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Mata to Siggy makes sense right? FT

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

      Yep as siggy will be on another 0.3 rise

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

        Although maybe wait one more week if you can afford it due to fixtures.

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      You need Siggy.

    3. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      No Siggy? 😯

    4. HUMZAH96
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Depends on the rest of your team

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

      yes

    6. ZE GERMANS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Sterling Mata Alexis Ramsey Fabregas (need siggy?)

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

    Anyone link the Clyne 'assist'?

    1. FantasyNik123
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Will they review the "assist"?

    2. Saint Domingo
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      http://www.flashscores.co.uk/match/hCnR3pID/#video

      assist all day long

      1. The Machine
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 11 months ago

        lol no

    3. AWOL-Ekotto
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      They must have changed the rules, last year Clyne would have gotten that assist, and Gylfi would have gotten one for the Routledge goal as well, this year it seems like the are actually only giving assists for actual assists, where no opponents gets a touch in between. That is if they don't correct in though

      ps. i got both gylfi and clyne

    4. Sif
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      This, cant find it one Vine

  25. ZakAFC_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    No Clyne Assist?

  26. The Machine
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Just seen the Pelle goal

    Clearly a cross from from clyne. No assist

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      thanks for confirming

  27. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Costa is going to troll me now, i just now it.

  28. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Lol Mourinho "He says he's OK" - on Costa's injury

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

    30 with Costa, Sterling, Ramsey, Terry and Debuchy left!

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

      Not bad at all. Better than the vast majority anyway
