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.

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

    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.

  7. Jinswick

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

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

  14. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    3 goals and 1 assist from that game.

    Yet I am pissed because I captained Rooney and have Cahill over Ivan

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

      Ditto...

      Cept I have Azpi over Ivan

    2. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      so do most other managers.

      did you have Siggy over Dyer too?

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

    Pieters on my bench is kind of annoying, but I was never going to start him against City...sigh.

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

      Right decision. Don't worry. Still tough though.

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

    42 points with adebayor sterling and debuchy is quite poor isn't it? no captaincy

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

      not at all

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

      Decent score. Above average I reckon.

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

      decent score methinks

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

    Andy's bench has been wow so far :
    Wk 1: siggy
    Wk 2: jovetic
    Wk 3: costa

    I don't know if He is playing seriously this year with Nugent(C) every week

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

    Costa is a season keeper!

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

      He's class and bound to be real value for money with the service around him.

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

    Who's wild carding?

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

      Not me..even Though I need to with my current team..

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

      o/

    3. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Tempted but likely to take a -4 instead

  20. Gigging Order
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anybody considering keeping Mata?

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

      last chance at qpr

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

      Not me. May go without any ManU, Rooney at most.

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

    Is 58 (post BAPS) with Ramsey to play good result?

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

      f*** off

    2. Djerbil
      • 14 Years

    3. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Link to your team? It's a big result today but may not end that way tomorrow.

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

        Nice to hear that 🙂 But only Ramsey left 🙁

  22. Flying Nugget
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    any other muppets bench Costa? Can only pray now that Hutton, Eriksen, Ramsey or Debuchy don't play tomorrow

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

      I am in exactly the same situation as you. So cross with myself, should have left him in and risked that he would play.

  23. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Need another 10 goal-ish thriller between Liverpool and Tottenham tomorrow.

    Dammit Costa.

  24. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Honest opinion guys.

    Would you wildcard this team?

    Krul / Foster
    Duff / Terry / Moore / Chester / Hutton
    Hazard / Sigurdsson / Eriksen / Mata / Marney
    Rooney / Sturridge / Fletcher

    1 FT, £2.9m in the bank.

    1. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Not at all.
      I'd work it using FT's and possibly a hit.
      Starting line-up is good.

  25. Elniñorules
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
