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.

      This. Unless one has him as captain, there isn't much to celebrate.

        12 years, 1 month ago

    Four games and he's scored in all of them. Really shows how bad of a buy Torres was.

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Torres did not have fab

      1. Munsoned
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Or Gerrard 😉

  8. LewanGOALski
    12 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Mull
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Give it time.

      1. LewanGOALski
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I actually would love it to stay like this 😉

  10. The Finnisher
    12 years, 1 month 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 🙂

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      12 years, 1 month ago

    12 years, 1 month ago

    Nice getting Costa (c) and Fab in for a hit is paying off

  15. The Iron Tulip
    12 years, 1 month ago

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

  16. Les Bleus
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Costa only the second player every in PL history to score in his first 4 EPL matches.

    1. OPTA FPL
      12 years, 1 month ago

      1. Les Bleus
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Second according to SNW commentary

        1. Baa
          12 years, 1 month ago

          I think he is asking who was first...

      2. Budweiser
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Van Nistelrooy?

      3. Desperate Dan
        12 years, 1 month ago

    12 years, 1 month ago

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

  20. OPTA FPL
    12 years, 1 month ago

    CAC (Costa & Cesc)

    1. Billy Gilmore
      12 years, 1 month ago

  21. applebonkers
    • Has Moderation Rights
    12 years, 1 month ago

    alderweireld rocking a 56% pass percentage. outrageous trolling

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Gahhh I switched from Bertrand to him

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. Mílanista
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Very annoying. Still, early days

          1. applebonkers
            • Has Moderation Rights
            12 years, 1 month ago

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

            1. Mílanista
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              12 years, 1 month ago

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

              1. Beavis
                12 years, 1 month ago

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

  22. Louis
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Dzeko to Pelle looks like my transfer of the week.

  23. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard owners

    what are we doing?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping the entire season.

      1. Wax
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Same

    2. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      12 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 1 month ago

      keeping for the 2nd half

      1. Mull
        12 years, 1 month ago

        😀

    4. Go Loons
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

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

  24. vballer
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Guys how Naismith playing?

  25. Not Irish
    12 years, 1 month ago

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

    I loathe him.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 1 month ago

      +1

    2. Captain Shirokov
      12 years, 1 month ago

      k

    3. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

        He is worse than Suarez.

      2. Not Irish
        12 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. applebonkers
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 1 month ago

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

          1. TeamSteam
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            12 years, 1 month ago

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

          2. Not Irish
            12 years, 1 month ago

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

          3. Munsoned
            12 years, 1 month ago

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

    4. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Why?

  26. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    12 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 1 month ago

      reports they might allow chelsea out for a 2nd half

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month 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
        12 years, 1 month ago

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

  27. sweglet
    12 years, 1 month ago

    feel like such a baller transferring out jove for pelle last minute

  28. Captain Shirokov
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Please take Ivan off at HT now, Mou!

    1. Billy Gilmore
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Don't let Doosra see this.

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 1 month ago

        See what? 😉

  29. Geordienufc1
    12 years, 1 month 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
      12 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Geordienufc1
        12 years, 1 month ago

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

        Ahh it's a rough game sometimes.

  30. Hybrid.power

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