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.

  9. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Well there you go. Planned to play 3-4-3 with Siggy (c) but got worried by no City attack so did
    Young to Nasri(c) for a -4,
    played 3-5-2 and benched Naismith

    Basically scored 11 instead of 28 ffs!!!

    1. Son is Rising
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't worry about it, even with 28 you were having a bad week

          • 16 Years

            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Just looked up Leroy Fer, I see where the error could have been made 😀

      nothing to see here unfortunately 🙁 .. move along

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

      🙁

    2. FISSH
      • 12 Years

      haha bigger regret now.

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

      RCA went with Colo too, I jokingly suggested Janmaat, but at 5.0 he is a risk and not many can afford it.

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

      At least you have 0.5m

    5. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I was debating whether to get Janmaat, Coloccini, or Dummett. Went straight down the middle. I guess it could have been worse.

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

        There's always a silver lining! (Now score Coloccini)

    6. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Shirley it still depends on the future trannie

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

    Surprised so many people captained Costa just with the fixture.

    Well played to everyone who has!

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

      Very few did, they are just guaranteed to be on now though.

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

      Lots of inactive players will have.

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

    LOL Jovetic owners.

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

    Man City strikers
    Newcastle defence
    Rooney

    Scout picks going well 😉

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

      they never do well

  14. afazeli85
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    2-0. Ivanovic with his standard early season goals.

  15. Mata-Is-The-Juan
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Owning Hazard over Cesc is getting difficult to justify

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Swings and roundabouts.

      Haz outscored cesc last week

    2. Wakka Wakkas
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed. May switch it this week to fund Rooney to Aguero.

    3. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Both is awesome

    4. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      agreed.

  16. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard, what a conundrum

    You know he can get double digit hauls, but he can just as easily get 2

    Fab looks good for 6-8 per game

    Might be time to switxh

    1. How Mina You
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      That's the same dilemma I have. At Stamford Bridge, Hazard is a monster and I'm also worried about Cesc's role in the pivot. Can he keep on assisting week after week?

  17. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    another lesson from this season, fixtures aren't that big of a deal

    1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      form > fixtures

  18. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is Phil or David Jones getting 3 BAPS?

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

      Phil Jones

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

    Put his fantasy points aside for a second. Fabregas is a sensational football. Absolutely enjoying watching Matic - Fabregas. Amazing stuff

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

      He's not a football, he's a footballer 🙄

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

        Could have fooled me with that haircut.

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

        😆

    2. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Matic is so good. Arguably Chelsea's most important player.

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

        crazy that he was allowed to go in the first place

      2. Super PVA - Small Spuds
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Couldn't agree more. He's their best and obviously most underrated player. Just smashes people and owns the park with class.

  20. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I will say this

    IF I sell Terry it will not be to get Ivan, it will be so that I can have all of Fab, Hazard and Costa. Otherwise I'll just get Sterling

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

      It's nice having Ivan though.

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Are you avoiding United players?

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I'll have DDG and Rooney still, so no

        atm post internationals I'm either doing

        Mata to Sterling and banking a FT or

        JT and Mata to Vert and Fab

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      selling him so i can get fab later too.. Not this GW though. just gonna swap Jovetic out this week

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        seems a silly time to sell doesn't it, right before a home game

        question is which defender

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Going for Moore/Naylor/Bertrand/Jones GW 5. not sure which price bracket im aiming for yet. will decide after tomorrow

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Have the first 2 and Clyne, by Jones I assume you mean Phil? I have DDG, so no way I'm doubling

    4. pundit of punts
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Keep Terry.

      Knee jerkers have been punished.

      Terry's attacking returns are around the corner.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        then I can't get Fab unless i sell Hazard or Costa

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

          Why would you sell costa,hes scoring in every game!!

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I won;t, I'm merely saying that if I wanted Fab I;d have to free up a Chelsea spot

  21. Darth

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

    1. HUMZAH96

        Aha nice one 😀

      • Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 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 😆

    2. getfunky
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      it would be quite funny if stoke managed a clean sheet against the only team they werent expected to & got none from the ones they were expected to.

      1. Clam. ☘️
        • 11 Years

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

      Why do Chelsea players look so scary now?? Looking at Costa's face gives me the creeps. Even Fabregas looks thuggish now.

      1. The Devil Wears Prada
        • 14 Years

    9. 1-1 at Newcastle
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Just got in. Worst possible day in fpl. Can you please round up my questions thanks:

      1) How did Aguero/City look?
      2) How did Costa/Hazard look?
      3) How did Tadic not do anything?

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

        1) Not that good
        2) Good
        3) Just one of those days - by all accounts the best player on the pitch.
