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
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah...suuure.

  2. Svidde

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

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      unlikely IMO

    RADAMEL FALCAO Tweeted that he's going to Real Madrid but then removed the tweet.

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Everybody already knows

      1. Frank Black
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Not true.

        1. Ron_Swanson
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I thought it was a done deal

    2. Bolt-on
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I've done that before

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      😆

  4. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years

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

    So I can get him back lot cheaper.

      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

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

  5. Svidde
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Will jovetic play next match?

    1. gravless
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      has to be a big doubt about it

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

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

  6. schlupptheweek
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months 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
      11 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. schlupptheweek
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months 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.

  7. Willis.
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku 😆

  8. Nova
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. Think Tank
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Why not? Ivan the man to have.

  9. Somalion
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Will be yellow flagged and sold en masse

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months 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…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Should be

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Hmmm, may still ditch. Conundrum.

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

      with flag you arent protected

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

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

  10. Willis.
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Fabregas makes Chelsea's defence look so weak

    1. Chu Young Ping Pong
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      true

    2. Snikii
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      why ?

      1. Colonel Klink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

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

  11. Jack Frost
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

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

  12. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months 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 Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You don't need tfpl to know that would work

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

    Aguero wont rise to next gw?

    1. Think Tank
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months 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

  14. Chu Young Ping Pong
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    FECK OFF COSTA!!

  15. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Does anyone know if bony would drop tonight? I think not but want to check

  16. Sheep Flavour
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I knew I should of sold Costa......

    😀

  17. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Chelsea's fluidity between Costa and their midfield is CLASS

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Fabregas is just a fooking jedi

  18. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ahhhh chance!

  19. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ah, could really need a Terry goal.

  20. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I reckon bony to Costa and I'm sorted,at least as having a decent team goes, the financials might not be great though

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      As long as the TV gets to a decent level by the Jan WC you'll be fine.

  21. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ivanovic is just staying up there !!!

  22. Chu Young Ping Pong
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    More than 10 pts lost because of that miss. FECK OFF

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      not lost!

      1. Chu Young Ping Pong
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        yea not lost, but u know what i mean!

  23. Mr Smith
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I see Costa scored, has it been unbearable round here since?

    1. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It is now he missed a 1 on 1.

  24. UnderstandablyDistraught
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Come on Naismith

  25. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Costa looking like a season keeper.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Bad timing. Temper issius.

  26. BBC_TF

    Sold austin and costa last night"

    Awesome

  27. Somalion
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku has to step up and prove Mou wrong here.

    1. Chu Young Ping Pong
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Mou isn't wrong tho. Lukaku is so average.

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Oh I agree, just saying Lukaku needs to step up really. Don't think he's great.

      2. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        average is generous

  28. Twelve years a slave

    Time for Drogba warm up
