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.

    fabregas in assisting goal non shocka

  2. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    So Pelle now enters the fray with Welbeck, Aguero and Falco in my search for a new striker if Rooney blanks..

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Roo > Kun regardless of anything for me

    2. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Roo to smash it

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

    it'll be tough call to me between Welbeck and Pelle for the 3rd striker option, while doing my transfers for the next week

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

      Welbeck injured?

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        nah, I don't think so

  4. mbrucie
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Pelle, Cesc, Fab, Rambo, and Bertrand. This better not be a dream!

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

      Costa not Cesc, oops.

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

      You're dreaming son, unless Cesc and fab are twins 😉

    As I said yesterday and people laughed at me... Costa (c) is this season's Suarez FPL-wise.

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

      Yup.

    2. The Iron Tulip
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Looks like it could go that way. If in doubt, go costa

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

      as i said yesterday, lol.

    4. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      11 years, 7 months ago

      Hes the only standout captain. Still needs to deliver consistent 15+ hauls to be called a Suarez

    5. Goodfella
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Suarez got massive hauls and scored over 30 league goals, I think Costa will be consistent but not get the amount of goals or assists that Suarez did.

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

        I'm not saying he'll outscore Suarez mate, but IMO he'll get VERY close with the amount of goals. Just saying that he's by far the best FPL player out there...

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

          Aguero says hi

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

            Costa superior IMO. As a fantasy player, not a football player.

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

      Giroud scored in his first 5 games last season...

  6. Willis.
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Costa is a fkng beast. Should have been sent off though

    1. Chris_Fàbregas #DOOS…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      What did he do? I missed it. He is a rambunctious fellow though.

  7. palace ash
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    My main rival in mini league for work has Courtois, Ivanovic and Azpilicueta!

    I'm well happy!

  8. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    No Fabs, no Costa, but I do have Terry 🙂

    1. Solenya
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Well that's something

  9. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    GW shaping up nicely for me:

    Southampton and Stoke still on for cleanies
    Tadic assist
    Fab assist
    Costa (c) goal

    Balo Rooney Sterling to come

  10. Solenya
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Who was that Swan getting all too closey comfy with Brana there. Was so close to snatching that off Costa 😐

    1. Solenya
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Amat 😡

  11. UpAndAway
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Glad to have Pelle in my side. Only negative was not captaining Costa.

  12. JT's Dog
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Have they forgot to take a ball to the ger Spain friendly

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

      lol @ all the Hazard owners panicking

      Get a f**king grip

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

        Keep calm and buy Fabregas

      2. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        lol at owning hazard over fab 😉

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

        Watch out when Hazard clicks. Something always happens when he has the ball at his feet.

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

      Micky Quinn only the other player in PL history to score in his first 4 games in the EPL.

    • OrmskirkFC
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      In the future, the only way I'll believe Costa is actually injured is if they identify him by dental records.

    • Game of Stones
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Just need Naismith and Zaha to get a goal now! 😀

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

        Wouldn't say no! 😀

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

        need naismith to do anything

      3. Sebbo29
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Yes that would be nice

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

        Not this week. GW6

    • amol

      Krul can feck off

    • Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      How are Stoke doing?

      Never been so desperate for them to score, I have Hamer and Moore on my bench

    • PogChamp
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah Costa is a thug, so he's perfect for this league.

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

        He belongs in a Mexican prison.

    • Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Costa scored first at the bridge v Leicester. Sit tight Hazard owners 😉

    • Footylicious
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      5.4% larsson owners shreud pick up

    • Mindless Freak
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Hendo, Sterling & Moreno to play @ 5:30 - Good to know that a bad day, might turn out to be good later on.

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

        sterling my cap - teehee

    • The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Moyes or Pulis to Newcastle?

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

        Anyone but Pardew.

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

        Pulis would be great. If anyone can fix a defence

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

      I feel my WC finger twitching…

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        so do i 🙁 .. will get rid of Krul, Debuchy, Terry, Caulker, Albrighton, Eriksen and Maybe Rooney. seems worth it

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

          The Krul/Foster thing definitely didn't work out for me.

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Same...

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

      Crystal Ball:

      Fabregas goal after Costa heads Ivanovic's cross into his path.

    • Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Have a feeling I'm done with Hazard if he does nowt today...

      1. SW6
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Ditto

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

          Every season he wrecks my head but I wind up owning him anyway. This season I might be able to ditch him and get away with it.

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

      Clean sheets still hard to come by. I see Utd and Soton only getting a CS. Maybe Stoke.

    • Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Terry, Debuchy, hit for Welbeck over Pelle, Krul, Eriksen.. yup. one of those weeks 😆
