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.

    Costa. Essential status?

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

      No, Rooney more essential IMO...

    2. Piggs Boson

  14. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    It's okay, I'm hearing that Sterling has Costa in his team as vice captain and is going to feign injury in the build up....

  15. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years

      Wouldn't surprise me with CL game on Tuesday night, although there is a chance Sterling ugh get rested for that as we need pace for this game more than Tuesdays game

    Those who didnt (c) Costa, do not kick yourselves. It was the correct decision. He was a doubrt and Jose was not exactly too obliging. What it does mean, is the Costa is nearing that 'essential' tag

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

      I'm just happy to have him.
