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.

    I understand the ivanovic craze, but I'm still not convinced with the Chelsea defence.

    1. Frank Black

      Yeah...suuure.

    Is Rooney likely to drop by next GW? And is it possible that prices changes over this night? Need som help

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      unlikely IMO

  4. Twelve years a slave
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Looking at the top 1k league and top 100 looks like it was the smart ones that went Costa to Jelavic, not the casuals, they nearly all kept Costa

    Can't win em all

    1. The Machine
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      True

    2. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Was never an option to sell Costa.

      Typical International injury scare by Mourinho.

      Everyone here overreacted.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        You knew better than everyone else

        I hung on - but likely would have shifted too if I had 2 frees - all relative , so no right or wrong really.

    5. Podge

      Top 100-1000 means nothing at the mo, dead teams in there even.

    6. Zombie
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      I kept Costa as well...but mainly coz there was no suitable other option

      1. Debauchy

        * this and wanted to save my free

      Everybody already knows

      1. Frank Black

        Not true.

        1. Ron_Swanson
          • 16 Years

          I thought it was a done deal

      Does he now understand what he needs to do?

  7. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Mata's price will collapse to 8.6 during the break. Sell, sell, sell!

    So I can get him back lot cheaper.

    1. SC not pearls before swine

      If sterling is in the points tomorrow I might not be able to resist. Even if the fixtures are as good as they get...

  8. Svidde
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Will jovetic play next match?

    1. gravless
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      has to be a big doubt about it

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        Agreed, he might conclude him and aguero don't play well together. They looked more balanced after Dzeko came on

  9. schlupptheweek
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    I have both Tadic and De Jong and between Southampton and Newcastle they scored 6 goals but those 2 weren't involved in any which is typical, guess I'll have to be patient.

    1. Bolt-on
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Does tadic look likely though - have him and really am losing patience

      1. schlupptheweek
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        I'm really not sure, but I ended up last year selling lots of players and then they hit form when I get rid of them.

  10. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Costa sellers now shitting themselves now that he faces Swansea next. 😆

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Quite the opposite, tough match.

      1. VougieDipond

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years

        And was Loled at when I said that I'll keep him.

        1. The Machine
          • 13 Years

          No you weren't

          Maybe you were if the manner of posting was similar to your posts today

            • 13 Years

            Can't I be happy that I kept Costa? Weird...

    3. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ

      Swansea have looked very good to be honest, I wouldn't worry too much.

    4. Lord Flashheart

      You mean Swansea the league leaders?

    2. THE Wild Rover

      Injury avoidance, not dive

  13. Nova
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Did Mata --> Fabregas and now contemplating doing Cahill --> Ivan. Probably won't but it's slowly killing me inside.

    1. Think Tank
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Why not? Ivan the man to have.

  14. Count of Monte Hristo

    Lads, Falcao followed Silva, Zabaleta and Aguero....

      Strange considering he is going to Madrid.

  16. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Wonder if Mata will be flagged and protected from big drops...

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Will be yellow flagged and sold en masse

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        I may well be ditching. Hard to know, could have Rojo, Blind, Herrera and ADM in the team.

        Very different team really...

    2. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…

      1. Somalion

        Hmmm, may still ditch. Conundrum.

    3. Konig Luther

      with flag you arent protected

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        Depends if he picks up a red flag if the injury is worse than we think.

  17. Willis.
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Fabregas makes Chelsea's defence look so weak

    1. Chu Young Ping Pong
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      true

    2. Snikii
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      why ?

      1. Colonel Klink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        He shirks the defensive side, you're saying? Since when does Chelsea D ever look weak?

  18. Sheep Flavour
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    Eto to punish Chelsea?

    1. Willis.
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      Punish Chelsea for what? Rescuing him from Russia and reviving his career?

      1. Sheep Flavour
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        To punish them in this game by scoring against them. Relax.

    2. Gorgles
      • 12 Years

      Hell ya

  19. Jack Frost
    • 16 Years

    266000 WC this week, 60,000 last week. So 10% have WC and another 15% probably are dead teams.

  20. Mr_Partridge
    • 12 Years

    If Man City are allowed to buy Falcao they have to banned from Europe next season

    1. theloveburglar

      not sure loan deals count

    5. Somalion

      Sanogo is better anyway.

  21. Twelve years a slave
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    If i wildcard I would take mata out and put him back in on last day

    But as all the prices are broken will be impossible playing the money game properly

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years

      You don't need tfpl to know that would work

  22. Svidde

    Aguero wont rise to next gw?

    1. Think Tank
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 21 days ago

      I think he was close to rising this week, so expect a rise during the international break now he's played a full 90

  23. Chu Young Ping Pong
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 21 days ago

    FECK OFF COSTA!!

  24. Twelve years a slave

  25. Sheep Flavour

    Chelsea's fluidity between Costa and their midfield is CLASS

  28. Licky
    • 14 Years

    Costa's finishing is bogey, no precision or real quality in that department.

      LOOOL

      1. Licky
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        Spanish sides aren't as physical as PL sides, of course he would boss it over there, he also only score more than a goal in a single game once last season.

    2. Somalion

      1. Licky
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 21 days ago

        All I've seen him do is take shots, no finesse to them whatsoever, he was lucky on the first goal too, straight at the keeper.

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 21 days ago

          Lucky to get 30 in Spain with Athletico as well?

          God.

            • 14 Years
            12 years, 21 days ago

            I never said he couldn't score, I said his finishing, in these first three games has been dreadful.

            1. theloveburglar

                Ironic isn't it, his chance conversion is really what I'm trying to point out.
