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.

    Fecking Hazard, delivering performances but not points

    2. Pedram
      • 12 Years

      Fab > Hazard in FPL

    3. PogChamp
      • 14 Years

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

      Torres did not have fab

      1. Munsoned
        • 14 Years

  8. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years

    Hazard is beast of a footballer, but not giving points to his owners

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

  10. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Not sure if I am all that happy with a Costa goal as a non-captainer.

    That'll do Diego...no more than that 🙂

          • 13 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

      2. Budweiser
        • 11 Years

  18. Piggs Boson

  19. TeamSteam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Last minute decision on wc: Hazard and Naismith over Di Maria and Pellè. Im sad.

  20. OPTA FPL

  21. applebonkers
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    alderweireld rocking a 56% pass percentage. outrageous trolling

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

      Gahhh I switched from Bertrand to him

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        sick. that was literally the one reason to get him, hoping for a 90% pass percentage

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

          Very annoying. Still, early days

          1. applebonkers
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            yeah, and tbf you'd take 'just' a clean sheet anyday

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

              I'd be delighted if he got a cleanie, along with Forster and Clyne.

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

                I've gone forster Bertrand. Hope they hold steady!

  22. Louis
    • 13 Years

    Dzeko to Pelle looks like my transfer of the week.

    Hazard owners

    what are we doing?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Keeping the entire season.

      1. Wax
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Same

    2. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      He's in every play but seems out of luck... I just can't sell him

    3. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      keeping for the 2nd half

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

        😀

    4. Go Loons
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Aside from hoping for a brace in the second half I'm not sure yet.

  24. vballer
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Guys how Naismith playing?

  25. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Costa may be this season's Yaya for me but I don't care.

    I loathe him.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      +1

    2. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      k

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

      He is a nasty footballer indeed. Not to make a direct comparison of any sorts but he reminds me about when Suarez first came to England.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        He is worse than Suarez.

      2. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Worse than Suarez aside from the biting. Can't wait for his inevitable red and lengthy suspension.

        1. applebonkers
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          racism counts as nasty imo. in fact i'd say it's THE worst thing in football

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

            Absolutely. But Costa is really a nasty player. So much off the ball nonsense.

          2. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            I don't see Costa as the "accepting" type, the neanderthal.

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

            Every player talks like that during games, you have to be very naive to think otherwise.

    4. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Why?

  26. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard awesome performance and as always 0 points. Feck mi life

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      reports they might allow chelsea out for a 2nd half

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah. I really don't want to get Fab in, it just means that I was wrong and my rivals were right!

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I won't get Fab in even if that meant 0 points from Haz every gw lol

  27. sweglet

  29. Geordienufc1
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    That was literally the worst half that could possibly have occurred for me.

    Krul
    Terry
    Wisdom

    Naylor on bench
    Don't own costa
    Balotelli may be out.

    Can't believe it.

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Same here. Krul, Terry , Wisdom, Naylor benched and no Costa. Only positive is Cesc.

      1. Geordienufc1
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        And being a toon fan doesn't help things either :/

        Ahh it's a rough game sometimes.

    Let's not mention the Jovetic switch last week...
