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.

    Despite all my Costa moaning I will be on 42 with Ramsey (C), Sterling and Eriksen left

      Crybaby

    2. Would an idiot do that?
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Have Ramsey captain too but had costa captain and swapped incase the rumours were true

  2. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    12 years, 2 months ago

    How did Tadic play today?

    1. Mull
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Well. Could have scored loads of points.

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Really? Worth keeping next week then?

        1. Mull
          12 years, 2 months ago

          His underlying stats are ridiculously good. It's only a matter of time.

            I agree...

            If we could just keep this under wraps for a cpl weeks, that'd be great.

            As, he's my next buy.

            1. Mull
              12 years, 2 months ago

              I want it all, and I want it NOW!!!

          2. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
            12 years, 2 months ago

            Ok cheers lad. For me it depends on how Lamela and Eriksen do tomorrow

      2. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        12 years, 2 months ago

        I've had him from the start and he's done nothing for me

  3. The Machine
    12 years, 2 months ago

    29 points woop hoop. Feck off mourinho

    1. The EJJ
      12 years, 2 months ago

      29 points here too, snap.

    2. Ibralicious
      12 years, 2 months ago

      28 here, 4 left to play tomorrow

    3. Coaly
      12 years, 2 months ago

      +1

    4. Nice Baps
      12 years, 2 months ago

      41 + baps 4 to go

    5. RabMac
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Think I will be overtaking you this week then, unless Hutton scores more than Eriksen captain. 😉

    6. Clam. ☘️
      12 years, 2 months ago

      33 with 2 left. Great banter

  4. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Diego Costa got 10 rating on whoscored

  5. aehii
    12 years, 2 months ago

    I can see why people quit this game, spend too much time trying to predict, you can't have everyone, it remains impossible to solve the puzzle.

    1. bdwhite91
      12 years, 2 months ago

      So frustrating when my rival gets Hutton off the bench last week then Puncheon off the bench this week.

    2. Podge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      and it ruins watching your team

      1. aehii
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah it does. I didn't want a man united player to score because I own duff and I get 9 points. It doesn't mean anything !

        I think I'm too obsessive to do anything like this and not try to solve the never ending puzzle of points and value, and the inevitable waste of time tinkering and thinking about something completely luck based and unpredictable. I do end up watching more football, can be good sometimes, can ruin MOTD.

    Costa coffee the best coffee in england at the moment he he,im loving it.

  7. Captain Hindsight
    12 years, 2 months ago

    What were people thinking selling Costa for a hit?

    After having trained yesterday, he was always going to start today and be amongst the goals.

    1. Coaly
      12 years, 2 months ago

      i've missed you

  8. OShaughnessy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Did you sell Costa?

    2. _nod
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Hehe

  9. Bubz
    12 years, 2 months ago

    40 points today is a red arrow right?

    1. BantamPhil
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Depends where you are, higher than average I reckon

      1. Bubz
        12 years, 2 months ago

        46k atm

    2. Gigging Order
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Well it obviously depends where you are.

      But no, 40 is a good score, way above average.

    3. Fray Bentos
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Seems like a good score

    4. pundit of punts
      12 years, 2 months ago

      No way. Green for sure.

      Average high twenties.

      1. Bubz
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Wow I would be really pleased not to drop after selling Costa

    5. VougieDipond
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I think it will be a good score.

    6. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      12 years, 2 months ago

      No 20s will be average, then you have all thermopile that took hits

  10. 0thebrodie
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Rooney out. Costa in. 1 FT.

    Yay or nay?

    1. Fray Bentos
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Without any shadow of a doubt!

    2. Djerbil
      12 years, 2 months ago

      wait , its the international week , u could end up having 5 players injured

    3. Judas
      12 years, 2 months ago

      im thinking this....

    4. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Having Costa I may go Balo 🙂

  11. pundit of punts
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Story of this season.

    Don't lose patients in your players and don't knee jerk. 😀

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Important lessen for doctor: don't lose patients.

    2. Valar(Keith)
      12 years, 2 months ago

      🙂 .. happy with my entire team apart from Terry and Jovetic. Caulker and Costa rewarded me today. hoping Eriksen does the same tmrw

  12. RyanFootballChatbox
    12 years, 2 months ago

    GW1 end everyone ran riot and sold Mata and Jovetic
    GW2 Mata and Jovetic score and everyone kicking themselves
    before GW3 starts ppl start panicking and sell Costa
    GW3 Costa runs riot

    end result knee-jerking can lead to minor heart attacks

  13. LewanGOALski
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Fabregas - Ramsey - Mata - Siggy (Albrighton)
    Rooney - Costa - Dzeko

    2 FTs

    Mata ➡ Sterling tomorrow if Sterling is not hurt, and wait with the other transfer for after the international games (probably Dzeko ➡ Adebayor, if nobody gets hurt) ??

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Keep Dzeko, he will start next game

      1. LewanGOALski
        12 years, 2 months ago

        there will be doubts over him now all 3 are fit to play. Also I don't like the fixtures tbh. Ade is tempting me though

  14. mgilbert86
    12 years, 2 months ago

    jovetic owners will sell and he will get a brace against arsenal if the first three games have taught me anything

    1. LewanGOALski
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Rooney brace vs QPR

  15. 7shadesofsmoke
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Well, i planned to WC here in GW3.

    Think I'll just save it now...

    1. Coaly
      12 years, 2 months ago

  16. nadman89
    12 years, 2 months ago

  17. red_devil
    12 years, 2 months ago

    1. Podge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      neither may happen

  18. Curly619
    12 years, 2 months ago

    2 FT .5 in the bank

    About to go to sleep live in Aus and it's 4:30am here.

    Mata - Fab and Dzeko - Naismith ok ? Leaving 3.5 in the bank for possibly Hendo - Sterling next GW

    Begovic

    Ward Clyne Chester

    Ramsay Mata Eriksen Hendo

    Rooney Costa Dzeko

    Keeping the faith with Rooney this week.

    Mata could go for Sterling, but not making any transfers until nearer the deadline.

    Not a lot of price rises this year anyway.

  20. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

  28. Judas
    12 years, 2 months ago

    At least with this International break, price rises will actually function as there were last year seeing 0.3m rises.

  29. RyanC
    12 years, 2 months ago

    In all honesty, regardless of which players we have/don't have, what a fascinating week. We're so lucky having a domestic league this unpredictably fantastic.
