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.

    How many minus points would Tim Howard be on if he was sent off? And we presume the match played out as it did (if not worse...)

    Like -6?

    Begovic

    Ward Clyne Chester

    Ramsay Mata Eriksen Hendo

    Rooney Costa Dzeko
    -------------------------------------------
    Gilks Siggy PVA Moore

    (A) Dzeko - Naismith , Mata - Fab (with Hendo - Sterling possibly GW 5 if he doesn't push forward vs AVL)
    (B) Dzeko - Naismith , Hendo - Fab (with Mata - Sterling possibly GW 5 if he doesn't perform vs QPR)
    (C) Mata - Fab , save a FT
    (D) Mata - Fab , fix defence with Ward - Janmaat/Williamson
    (E) Dzeko - Naismith , Hendo - Sterling (Still gives some coin for Mata - Fab GW 5 but will he have rose .2/.3 by then ?)
    (F) Any other suggestions welcome

    Leaning towards B

    • 15 Years

    Anyone claiming the ultimate double fail?

    Selling Jovetic after GW1 and then selling Costa after GW2?

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

      Acqua?

    2. 50shades of o'shea
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I sold Costa, Ivan,Siggy, Naismith,begovic,Sanchez all this week.....

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

        Honestly???

      2. Sebbo29
        • 11 Years

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Fab, Ivanovic and Chadli IN

    Mata, Debuchy, Eriksen OUT

    1. bdwhite91
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      idk about Chadli

    2. arsms
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good, but surely wait until after spurs have played unless any price changes will ruin that plan?

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

    Sold costa to get aguero because he was going to rise. He never did.

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

      now that is just dumb to play for the price changes

  14. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    No regrets at taking Costa out, just a bit unlucky, could've been a different story if Besic wasn't such a looney and Aguero turned up...

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

      LOL

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

      Yeah but now are you thinking to get him back again? I am. I mustn't. Basically i shouldn't play this game.

    3. xuwei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You may regret having to use another transfer to get him in.

    4. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      no regrets ? i wish I kept Costa

  15. getfunky
    • 13 Years

    quite a contrast to last season's result

  16. bdwhite91
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Thank goodness I didn't sell or bench Costa. This was a horrible GW with City losing and Rooney failing. Feel a little bit better now.

  17. Albert_Luque
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ah benching costa, i could never have fathomed that it would cause me so much heartache. at least it wasn't a hattrick.

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

      In exactly the same boat. Only benched him because I had a solid team but I now realise that you must never, ever bench Diego Costa. Shame that it's come at a cost of so many points. Ah well!

  18. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years

    Costaaaaaa!!!!!!

    Saved my gameweek. 😀

    My goodness.

    Leader of my mini league - Costa(c) of course

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

    Probably just going to sack off Rooney and get in Costa (after selling him for Jovetic after Jose's lies)

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Jose never lied! Sun+ fecked all!

    • Mindless Freak

      Didn't captain siggy, went with Fabregas. 14 point swing. Oh how it could have been different.

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

        wrong

    • Coaly
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yesterday 2pm - Ramsey (c), Costa in squad, no hit
      Yesterday 5pm - Costa > Jovetic (c), -4

      So, a -4, Costa gets 10 points more than Jovetic, and Ramsey yet to play

      -14 already, if Ramsey scores more than 2 than add that as well

      Disgusting
