The Gameweek shifts to the three o’clock kick-offs, with half a dozen matches providing the focus for Fantasy managers, before Liverpool host Villa at Anfield for the evening clash.

It’s fair to say that the bulk of our attention will turn to Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea look to maintain their 100% start to the season against the only side who can match that record – Swansea City. All eyes will be on Diego Costa who has four goals to his name and sports the armbands for thousands of Fantasy managers this weekend.

Elsewhere, we’ve big expectations of Ronald Koeman’s new-look Saints at home to Newcastle, while we’re also monitoring the performances of budget midfield options – Wilfried Zaha and George Boyd – in Palace’s meeting with Burnley at Selhurst Park; both are named in the starting lineup.

The remaining three encounters find Sunderland hosting Spurs, Stoke looking to build on their Etihad victory against Leicester at the Britannia and West Brom taking on Everton at the Hawthorns.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

      2. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        He is my captain by the way

    4. Jairzinho

      11 years, 7 months ago

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I didn't! 😉

        1. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          I know! Thanks for re-assuring me choice earlier in the day though 🙂

      As a Newcastle fan, I think anyone would look good against us at the moment 🙂

    7. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Joke donkey player is the correct term.

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Exactly this.

        I said his finishing hadn't impressed me yet, haven't seen the goals so will have to look later to see if he's changed my mind 😉

      2. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Seriously people saying this never saw him play before

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Ah to be fair Yome his finishing is not exactly graceful or well done, I've seen a lot of his goals and they're scrappy or poor shots that the keeper has fluffed. He still gets the goals, the question was how would he do in the PL.

        2. Mull
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          He's not natural on the ball but doesn't really need to be in his poacher role.

    8. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Got a touch of the Giroud's about him.

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        A very heavy touch

  2. DonTheSpecialOne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Kelly benched 😮

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

    Jovetic to Pelle is one of the best things that happened to me in a while. 😀

  4. mutatedllama
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Naylor assist! Of course he's 3rd on my bench.

    1. The Wayfarer

    1. Captain Peacock

  7. Captain Peacock
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    1. Captain Peacock
      • 12 Years

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      this. extremely surprised, thought he would be doing the "overrunning"

    2. tm245
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Felipe Luis has got to be a consideration for halftime sub.

    3. zippyrocket
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

    1. Notorious
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

        2. Notorious
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

  15. Chu Young Ping Pong

  17. Toast
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Chadli seems to be making a good case to be in our squads. I'm not a member but how many shots on goal has he had now?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Members won't tell us 😛

  18. Not Irish
    • 12 Years

    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    1. FPL Touches
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

  20. Footylicious
    • 11 Years

    If Nacer was dating Drew Barrymore he would be able to say

  27. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    all the CESC owners , approx 43%, at some pt feeling itchy, or relaxed...cesc playing behind the trio of offensive Mids: haz - oscar- schurle. I am loyal to haz and hopefully more people go haz>cesc and decrease haz ownership to 10% 🙂 (now 16%)

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I'd rather a couple of goals from Hazard this week than a poor showing leading to a lot of sellers.

      1. Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        also that. haz wil deliver, too much talent.

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yet he's still managed double the shots of Hazard

      1. Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        you know how many times i Saw Romario touch the ball TWO times in 90 minutes and score 2 goals...Many...while the mids would try 10 shots and score nill....

  28. Parm

    @RobHarris: Wenger: Debuchy badly sprained ankle "how long he will be out I don't know but it doesn't look too good"

  29. Lucy.
