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.

    Chadli is a great option. Often the furthest forward of the three attacking mids and when Ade comes deep, which is quite often, it is Chadli pushing into the box.

      I wasn't sure he was nailed on but it appears that way. Definitely monitoring!

      1. Art Vandelay
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Eriksen started the season really quietly and Lamela is still very hit and miss. Chadli scores but will get assists from crosses too.

      Pump the brakes.

    3. Total Foot 5

      well put. Do you think Chadli will play more advanced than Lamela? and how nailed is he you reckon...so far so good. Im not a fan of chadli even from when he plays for belgium, but as long as he gets me the pts...:)

    Crazy how Fabregas does "nothing" but still racks up the points. Not complaining as an owner though 😛

    1. Les Bleus
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed!

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      12 years, 1 month ago

  4. Billy Gilmore

    1. Back to Back Ballacks
      12 years, 1 month ago

        Despicable prat.

      2. Lucy.
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed! But maybe that's down to history with our teams 😉

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 1 month ago

          West Ham and Charlton for me. Always the same, bright start, then disaster. And I mean disaster! 👿

          1. Mull
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Like the cup final against Liverpool 😉

        Can't stand Pardew. He's absolute shite. #pardewout

    Negatives:
    Hazard, Eriksen, Siggy and Krul not lighting things up for me thus far.

    Positives:
    Costa (C) and both Clyne + Moore hopefully on the way to clean sheets.

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy lol.

  6. Louis
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Just seen Pelle's goals. Two very simple tap ins.

    1. FPL Touches
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Right place and time, plus will give him a confidence boost. Not to be dismissed.

      1. Not Irish
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Already dismissed. 😀

        1. FPL Touches
          12 years, 1 month ago

          At your peril!

          1. Not Irish
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Won't play the carToon every week, mate.

      They all count. Basically you've just described Gary Linekar's career in one sentence.

  7. Woy of the Wovers
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Good call all you Pelle (not Pele) owners. My Bony has not performed.

    1. Somalion
      12 years, 1 month ago

      There's medication for that.

        1. Somalion
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Will get a shipment in just for Team Belgium 😉

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

            Don't need it. 😉

      2. Woy of the Wovers
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I can't used banned substances on my fantasy team. And that's before considering the practical difficulties of me travelling all over the country on Saturday.

        1. Somalion
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Your call 😉

  8. Mindless Freak

            12 years, 1 month ago

  10. Pinoche

    Ramires on for Schurrle

  11. Defcons are for Kinnear
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Newcastle have 0 shots on target so far. Expect that rate to continue

    1. Lucy.
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Was at the Palace game. Not sure, despite scoring 3 (so this sounds silly), where goals are going to come from on a consistent basis.

  12. Louis
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Ramires on for Schrulle

    Fernandez on for Amat

  13. 4vets
    12 years, 1 month ago

  14. THE Wild Rover

  15. Goodfella
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Balotelli posted on his instagram that he has looking forward to playing today didn't he?

    I'd be worried about Sterling starting.

    1. Eleven Geckoes
      12 years, 1 month ago

  16. The Machine
    12 years, 1 month ago

    12 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know how schurrle is looking?

    1. Les Bleus
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Not good. Which is why he's off.

    2. Lucy.
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Snuggled up, I assume.

    3. Your Mum's Athletic

    12 years, 1 month ago

    Schurlle off

    Operation Ginkaroo has failed

  21. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Raise hands for picking Clyne instead of Bertrand 🙁

    1. Lucy.
      12 years, 1 month ago

      It's one game. Assuming you weren't keeping him for one game, you're all good.

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

        Yep. Was going Bertrand all week, then got swayed. Classic stuff.

      2. Willis.
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Had Clyne from the start but immediately realised that Bertrand was the better option in GW 1

    2. money face bandwagon
      12 years, 1 month ago

      lol he already get me a goal and assist b4 that....

    3. Declan

    Where is a tramp on SSN talking about WBA V EFC?

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

    Guess why Ramires is on?

    Because he would never have let that Routledge buzz by him in the first half.

    1. Not Irish
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Give it up, Doos.

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

        Why do you think Mourinho made the change?

        It was the same the other week against Leicester, Chelsea were very lucky not to concede while Schurlle was on the pitch.

        1. Not Irish
          12 years, 1 month ago

          All fine and good. Doesn't mean Iva isn't a defensive liability.

  24. Not Irish
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Sort it, Swans.

  25. Louis
    12 years, 1 month ago

    I would really like to see Luis get some minutes. Sad to see him on the bench.

  26. Sarnab
    12 years, 1 month ago

    1-2 Eriksen.

  27. The Sarjeant
