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.

    I doubt there will be much movement this week, everyone between 35-45 so far

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

      it is very tight in the top 100 k though.

  3. Arsenal USA FC

    Will Costa's price rise over Intl Break or is he "Protected"

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

      he's protected until the inj flag is removed and then he can go up if i'm not mistaken

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

      he will rise like a tin of john west

    Sorry have to re post this:

    To all those out there on scout who were dissing me last night for suggeting to keep Costa yesterday I am feeling very smug right now.

    1. Injury Prone o_O Gooner.
      • 16 Years

      Classy.

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

    Were those reports that Falcao joined City true.. or just trolling? Google cant confirm it. Jovetic owner here 🙂

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

      Off to Madrid. Deleted a tweet about it aswell...

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

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

    Who to put in to catch the price rise?

  8. Diva
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

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

    Before Costa's last goal he had only 3 points more than Jovetic, wasn't looking that bad untill he scored his second 🙁

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Worst part is that Jovetic will probably be dropped for Dzeko 🙁

  12. Curly619
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    2 FT .5 in the bank

    Dzeko - Naismith and Mata - Fab

    Begovic

    Ward Clyne PVA

    Mata Ramsay Eriksen Siggy

    Costa Rooney Dzeko

    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

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

      I'd guess. Top 250k maybe.

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

    I have Krul rotating with Bego. Guess how well I'm doing with that? Just like Boruc and Migs last year 🙂

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

      Same.. Bego first 2, Krul this week..

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

    Gonna wait until next thursday and then consider replacements for Terry and Jovetic

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

      Bit early to ditch Jovetic?

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

        hence "consider".. what was with that falcao rumor earlier? As things stand my transfer gonna be saved this week

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

      We can't go through the season ditching players when they don't score in one game.

      No strikers score every game.

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

    Jovetic > Costa back agian or Wait ?

    1. dr manhattan
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm tempted. Sometime you just have to swallow your pride!

  18. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Mourinho subbing fabregas over costa was the most annoying part of the week. And besić. ..wow just wow

  19. omfgwtf
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    When some player loses a clean sheet, (a thing we cant control), then everyone makes fun of it and nobody gets upset.
    People get rid of a player, (a thing we control and decide), then some people makes fun of it and the tears drown all of us
    Weird

    Good luck with tomorrow games

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

    Alright, score check and players to play.

    3. Pinoche

    4. RabMac
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Don't think this will be a high scoring week for most so that score probably is pretty decent, especially if Sterling does well tomorrow.

    5. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

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

      I was on the confirmation page. So glad I talked myself out of it.

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

      I think you are right, unless they copied my team. 😉

  24. BruLee
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

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

  25. SG8
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    37 points including bonuses and clyne assist with Sterling, Sturridge and Ramsey (C) to play.. is that good or bad compared to everyone else?

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

      Clyne isnt getting an assist

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

    i made a horrible mistake, rather than be better toward costa, he' right back in and i've learned my lesson big time (keeping jovetic as well)

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

      *bitter, can't spell

  27. Zizou

    11 years, 3 months ago

    so anyone doing rooney to costa

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

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

      Rooney and Costa are the only 2 strikers i want tbh

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

    Best mid 5.3m or less?

    Ward Prowse? Mahrez?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years

      Jwp

    2. Glasner Ball
      • 13 Years

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

    Chelsea get 6 goals, Fab gets 4 points, who'd have thunk it.

    1. Captain Hindsight
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Ramires, Mikel and Matic were due some points to be fair.

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

      He had that after 30 seconds as well 😀
