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.

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

    Seriously, that was going to be the best goal. Damn you Courtois

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

    Hazard off for Luis.

  5. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years

    That save from thibaut

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

    What are the odds of this ending with the same score line?

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

      2/5

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

    what a save by court

  8. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Eto’o does look uncannily like gymnast Louis Smith

  9. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What a goal that would have been ! 😯

  10. Timtastic03
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Luis worth it at 5.8? 😉

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      2nd highest scoring chelsea defender this Gw?

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

    Finally going to do Bojan->Naismith.

  12. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is that Luis or Louise coming on?

  13. SamH123
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    are people keeping Haz if they have him? 10.0m feels a bit steep considering Chelsea's team now, points going to be spread

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure what to do myself. Might be worth keeping another game at least

    "I am not talking about rumours. We have now 48 hours, we will see what happens. We have important restrictions about the amount of money we can spend and the number of players we can use, so it is not easy for us to bring important players."

    Pellegrini on Falcao

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years

      They don't need a striker

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

    Costa only trained yesterday and is yet playing 90 mins???

    1. ChildishFirmino and Lallana…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      anyway, he's just walking around the field. Did that all three games, scored one goal in each. unbelievable

  16. Says
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Gary Neville - "Tough game on the legs"

    He should probably sit down while doing the commentary.

  17. Judas
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Why does Jose take off Hazard when Costa and Fab are on yellows

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      because he believes his players are not idiots?

    2. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Fab and costa track back better/more?

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

        na mate

    3. ChildishFirmino and Lallana…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

  18. chuckberry04
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    No BAPS anymore for Ivanovic, Fabregas and Casto pff..

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

    would have enjoyed this match more if Matic and Ramires weren't trolling this

  20. Konig Luther
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Felipe Luis with more points than Baines already and Same as Cahill.... essencial

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

  23. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If you don't have 3 Chelsea players, Matic is only £5.5m and nailed

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

  24. aehii

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Always the way, 8 goals, only 1 between costa and lukaku

  25. Daniel Porridge
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    wasnt that a naismith goal and not etoo?

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

      The one that Eto'o headered into the net? That was an Eto'o goal.

    2. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      ?

  26. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Amazing that Costa could go scoring 3 games in a row, no bonus at all.

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

      I swear he got bonus in the 1st game?

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

        He did 1 bp countered by 1 YC.

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

          He is a card magnet. Contemplating getting him back in for Jov straight away but ideally would prefer somebody else. No strikers really stick out.

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

        Ahh you're right - he got 1.

        Got booked though so I saw 6, thought he hadn't got bonus.

    2. BantamPhil
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He isn't a bonus darling

      He is a bonus menace

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It seems like he may not be captain material

  27. Timtastic03
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Would love a Fab goal on the counter to top it off

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

      To late 🙂

      1. Timtastic03
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        🙁 , Costa will do too

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          😉

  28. S.Kuqi

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is Mirallas real mid price option again? Seems to have fair share of set pieces but bit mixed fixtures.

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

      He is quite fixture proof as he is a big game player I would say. Plus EFC now have Arsenal & Chelsea outta the way for the recent fixtures.

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

    I think even Ivan is scared of Nasmith lol.

  30. Runci
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Schneiderlin or Ward-Prowse for 5th mid?

    1. Nova
