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.

    Chelsea lineup

    https://scontent-a-fra.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10653370_10152677954804614_2018634545222123589_n.jpg?oh=23620d6022b7eaf71c7e7efa5b9f6168&oe=548013D5

    Hazard in the hole Ramires and Willian on the wing. Oscar and Schurrle on the bench. I think we are gonna play on counterattacks. This lineup is more mobile. More defensive one too

      Its official from Chelsea TV

    2. Elniñorules

      11 years, 11 months ago

      Willian in the hole and Haz on the left.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I don't agree, Willian is a winger

  2. Honeybadger
    • 12 Years

    Player to rise in price till gw4 in your opinion?

  3. theloveburglar
    • 14 Years

    its gunna get very heated in here if costa finds the net

    Going to be funny watching all this weeks WCers trying to work out how to get Yaya in their team when he scores after the break. 😉

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Don't think I'll WC after all. Team looks fine for next GW. Can't imagine there will be many major risers.

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

        Zaha will probably the big riser

        1. Hughes Your Daddy
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Zaha will definitely rise in price, was sensational when he came on. Should of scored twice overall if it wasn't for dubious homer ref disallowing his first 🙁

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

    Clyne gets assist, right?

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

      Not imo. cross not a shot

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

      Has to. Can't see any argument for not giving it.

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

    Mata to Sterling for next GW then?

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

      id be reluctant to sell mata b4 qpr despite united being utter horse shit

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

        Mata got injured.

  7. Darth
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    So, being forced to play Begovic turned out ok then 🙂

    1. HUMZAH96
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Aha nice one 😀

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

      City away isn't bad for a goalie due to save points was my argument. He got no save points and a clean sheet 😆

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

    We plan for months on end and then after 3 weeks the top goalscorer is Nathan Dyer... 😆

  9. VougieDipond
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Pardew out trending lol that didnt take long

    1. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Can't believe we threw it away in the 95th 😐

  10. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Oooo don't question the pretigious posters on here Hamzuh.

    They don't like it 🙁

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

    Marc Wilson nailed on then do we think? Seems to be a better centre half than I had given him credit for.

  12. Think Tank
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 11 months ago

    19 from 4, including Aguero (C) fail.

    Siggy to the rescue for many today methinks.

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

    Can anyone show me the rule that justifies Clyne not getting the assist?

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

      It was a pass(cross), deflected by the keeper

      No a shot at goal

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

        not*

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

        What's the difference? Not all assists are attempted shots.

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

          Go read the rules

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

      Knock yourself out.
      Assists

      Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the final pass before a goal is scored. An assist is awarded whether the pass was intentional (that it actually creates the chance) or unintentional (that the player had to dribble the ball or an inadvertent touch or shot created the chance).

      If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded.

      Rebounds
      If a shot on goal is blocked by an opposition player, is saved by a goalkeeper or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored from the rebound, then an assist is awarded.

      Own Goals
      If a player shoots or passes the ball and forces an opposing player to put the ball in his own net, then an assist is awarded.

      Penalties and Free-Kicks
      In the event of a penalty or free-kick, the player earning the penalty or free-kick is awarded an assist if a goal is directly scored, but not if he takes it himself, in which case no assist is given.

      Finalising Assists
      Assist points awarded by Opta within Fantasy Premier League are calculated using additional stats which may differ from other websites. For example, some other sites would not show an assist where a player has won a penalty.

      For the avoidance of doubt, points awarded in-game are subject to change up until one hour after the final whistle of the last match of any given day. Once the points have all been updated on that day, no further adjustments to points will be made.

    • 14 Years

    Need costa to go mental

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

    So are the rules that if the keeper saves a cross and it is scored on the rebound it is not an assist for the crosser?

    Because that's the only way that would make it not a Clyne assist.

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

      A cross is a pass, if that takes a big deflection or changes direction then no assist.

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

        Perfect, that's all fair and good so.

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

          I still hope they give it though 😆

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

            😆 Unfortunately there is no doubt really!

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

      Yes, this seems to be the change from last year

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

        I can't recall these instances last year too well, just a bit of a let down!

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

        I'm pretty sure the rule was there last year too, it just wasn't followed very consistently. They might still give it here, but I doubt it.

        1. Mr_Partridge
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 11 months ago

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

      When you write it down like that the squad looks like it should be weaker. But it's not.

  17. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos

    1. Somalion

      Nah not an assist unfortunately.

  22. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

    Just seen the video. 100% NO CLYNE ASSIST! 🙁

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Why?

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

        It was a deflected cross, not shot

    2. The Machine
      • 13 Years

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

    Is Schurrle likely to be back in the starting lineup next week? Or is it time to dump him?
    Worst punt ever.

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

      He'll probably start the next one, can't expect him to start every week though.

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

    Right Costa, you big ugly git, get a goal and assist another 3 for Haz. Ta.

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
