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.

    Terry is a waste of space. Surely Coleman or Baines is the way to go here?

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

      Yeah, I'm getting rid. Maybe Moreno.

  3. FPL Daniel

    Any chance Rooney to get injury till tomorrow?

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

      would be typical with my Hazard(C)

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      You could arrange it.

      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

    Hello WC

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

    Why has hazard done nothing?! He has to go this week, this was his last chance

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

      Assisted the assister. Played very well but it's not meant points on FPL 🙁

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

        Cant believe it, nearly captained him this week, thought hed have a stormer

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

      He's played very well, assisted the assister two or three times today. Just not proving a few good fantasy option this season so far.

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

        *very

    "Victor Moses takes an air shot"

  8. the divine ponytail
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Am I wrong in saying that Hazard is the most Zidane-esce player since the man himself?

    Everything he does on the ball is class.

    Still doesn't help me here (should have captained Costa instead!)

    1. Mike Bassett FPL Manager
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      youve captained a midfielder instead of a striker? retire

    2. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      He was brilliant. Three assists to the assister too. Hurts to see the lack of payoff, especially when I captained him over Costa.

  9. Crouch Potato!
    • 14 Years

    Has anyone seen my dog?

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

      what?

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      What does it look like?

      1. Crouch Potato!
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I don't know I ain't seen him.

  10. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Four games in, Terry and Moore are on the same number of points. 2.5m difference... See you later JT!

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      yup, I may need to hold onto Rooney or Hazard for 1 more week

    2. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      yep

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

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

      There goes the little gain for playing him over Siggy.

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

    Best 3rd forward to own if I have Costa and Falcao?

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

      To play, to bench or to rotate?

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

        Play methinks.

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

          Pelle (if you can go that high), Naismith or Ings/Jutkiewicz

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

            Pelle I can certainly afford, concerned about him mind you but thanks!

    2. dhawk97
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      naismith, mirallas or weimann

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years

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

        Not that interested in him but if he keeps getting points it is a possibility.

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

        Oops, wasn't watching the last few minutes.

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years

      Bony got an assist

  15. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    I have decent points, but the Sterling thing is gutting. He's bound to come on.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling thing?

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

        The benched thing. Sorry.

      2. Godfather Bandit 42
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Sterling benched!

    2. The Sarjeant
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Is he not playing?!??!

  16. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Typical. Bench Pieters away to Man City and he gets 11 points, play him at home to Leicester and he gets 1.

  17. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Ivanovic owners, what are you doing ?

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

      Probably being smirking at us Terry owners 🙁

      1. Godfather Bandit 42
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        and keeping!

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

      Keeping. Look at his positions and touches in the final third.

      He can't score every week but there is no way i am getting rid...

  18. The Sarjeant
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling has to rescue me.

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

      He's been benched mate. 🙁

      1. The Sarjeant
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 🙁

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

          I captained him too. Gutted completely. Costa vc to rub salt in the wound.

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

      I (C) him, I think I may have taken it off Costa too. :/

    3. theloveburglar
      • 13 Years

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

      Sterling is not starting, but will come off the bench I think
