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.

      Yep, Haz back to Costa for me next GW (Internationals permitting). Had Fab for GW1. His return to Assist King looks to be blooming.

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

      1. theloveburglar
        • 13 Years

        1. Mr_Partridge
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah Chelsea and City have ruined football 😀

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

            No the Premier League started all that (In England anyway)

      4. Konig Luther
        • 12 Years

        he posted something about real madrid minutes ago, and deleted

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

        Sanogo is better anyway.

    • Svidde
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero likely to rise to 12,1 by next GW?

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

        More likely to fall, especially if Sturridge or ballo score

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

        Yup.

    • The Bandit

      Howard avoids a red for the second time 🙄

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

        You think that should be rewarded a straight red!?

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

        Wow football really isnt a mans game if you want a red for that.

    • Stephen - Robot Daniels
      • 13 Years

      Will costa be protected? As if price rises weren't hard enough to get as it is....

    • sumatera
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      LOL to all those who sold Costa for Jovetic or some other lesser player

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        See above. I think they are looking for people to blame.

      Brace from Ade tomorrow will make it all okay

      3. Exeter Gently
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        amen, plus the obligatory 3 baps, and a sterling goal/assist would be welcome

      4. the cromulent one
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        *even better

    • rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Why isn't Clyne getting an assist?!

      The rules clearly state:

      "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."

      Its a travesty if they don't give those 3 points to Clyne. Those 3 points will decide one of my H2H's this week too, could really use them!

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

        was not a shot on goal was a cross

        1. rickardinho
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          It was going on target though...

      2. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        It was a cross, not a shot.

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

          So, If a cross ends up going into the net you won't be awarded a goal? Beacuase it was a cross.

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

          Does not make sense imo

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

        was it a shot or a cross?

    • SG8
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Why aren't they giving Clyne the assist?

    • johnbarnes
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      go on begovic, start picking up those saves points

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

        12 saves and he can concede.

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

        no chance of a clean sheet though

    • Overlordleo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I spend 4 points to do Myhill to Krul so that I wont have to play Begovic and CP scores in 30 seconds, FML...

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        -4 on a keeper?
        For that to pay of, begovic would need to let in like, 8 od 9 goals

        1. Tin of Directors
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Time yet

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

          Yeah stupid decision from my side. Though that City would win with something like 4-0 and Newcastle to get a clean sheet 🙁

    • Woy
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd love an Aguero no show.

      1. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Man City no show please.

    • Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Begovic hasn't got a save point yet.. Stranger things have happened

    • Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      3 Points (29 BPS): da Silva Costa
      2 Points (17 BPS): Ramires
      1 Point (15 BPS): Ivanovic

      Costa is cruising!

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        That's because he got 24 of those bps for a goal...

      2. HUMZAH96
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Aha I like it! 😀

        • Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Until Ivan's CS is added (maybe)

      3. pistol_pete
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Bench de Gea and start Krul -> ANOTHER GREAT DECISION!
        ffs

        1. 50shades of o'shea
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          That was just stupid tho.

          1. Tiki-Taka
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Don't think it was given United's defence at the moment and the fact Newcastle were (H) to Palace

            1. Tin of Directors
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Everyone's an expert afterwards though - you should know that by now!

          2. Tin of Directors
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

            1. 50shades of o'shea
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              I thought Newcastle were going to keep a cs. But I thought Man U were as well.

              1. Tin of Directors
                • 16 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                Then what's your point?? LOL

                1. 50shades of o'shea
                  • 11 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  Cp more force upfront than burnley

                  1. Tin of Directors
                    • 16 Years
                    11 years, 3 months ago

                    Yeah - Palace have an abundance of terrific strikers.

            2. Houdini
                11 years, 3 months ago

                A lot of captain hindsights on here I find.

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

          Hows QPR/Caulker?

          1. QPR Lad 92
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            will we ever score

          2. QPR Lad 92
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            caulker just had a chance

          3. Zombie
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            just headed wide

            1. Woy
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              So he's maintaining his 'I'm going to tease you' play

          4. Woy
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I ALMOST (C) him, but I just spent the last 90 mins with my eyes on DDG, didn't fancy that so I'm glad I put it on Ramsey... but I'd love a goal or at least a cleanie

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

          With Costa already, Mata to Sterling is the safest choice but Fabregas is looking awfully tempting.

          1. Marknlard
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Mata to Fabregas. I already have him so will choose Sterling, but Fab is the safer choice than Sterling.

        4. Would an idiot do that?
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Everton fans and players love whining

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

          Bego CS and Costa goal would be a wonderful treat for holding steady this week.

          Gulp!

        6. The Machine
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

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

          1. RabMac
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Surely that accolade goes to United's whole team.

          2. A Wild Lurker Appeared
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Hardly. His hold up play has been fantastic.

            1. The Machine
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              I mean in FPL of course

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

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