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
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, I'm getting rid. Maybe Moreno.

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

    1. Lucy.
      12 years, 1 month ago

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

        12 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. RyanC
      12 years, 1 month 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
        12 years, 1 month ago

        *very

  8. the divine ponytail
    12 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

      youve captained a midfielder instead of a striker? retire

    2. FPL Emu
      12 years, 1 month 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!
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Has anyone seen my dog?

    1. OPTA FPL
      12 years, 1 month ago

      what?

    2. MJ6987

      What does it look like?

      1. Crouch Potato!
        12 years, 1 month ago

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

  10. Ludo
    12 years, 1 month 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
      12 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Red Devil Swede
      12 years, 1 month ago

      yep

    3. Valar(Keith)
      12 years, 1 month ago

    1. Mílanista

      12 years, 1 month ago

      There goes the little gain for playing him over Siggy.

  13. Somalion
    12 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Sleep Talk
      12 years, 1 month ago

      To play, to bench or to rotate?

      1. Somalion
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Play methinks.

        1. Sleep Talk
          12 years, 1 month ago

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

          1. Somalion
            12 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. dhawk97
      12 years, 1 month ago

      naismith, mirallas or weimann

      1. Somalion
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Might go a bit more expensive and Mirallas is a mid 😉

    3. OPTA FPL
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Pelle

      1. Somalion
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Meh 😛

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

      Aguero 😉

      1. Sleep Talk
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely this! 😆

      2. Somalion
        12 years, 1 month ago

        If I could 😉

    5. Captain Shirokov
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Welbeck

      1. Somalion
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Another one on the list.

    6. bodsc

      Gotta be Grazianoooo

      1. Somalion
        12 years, 1 month ago

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

    What a week
    Dier 0
    Taylor 2
    Siggy 2
    Hazard 2

      Bony has an assist

      1. puddingbrood
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Oops, wasn't watching the last few minutes.

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Bony got an assist

  15. denial

    12 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling thing?

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

        The benched thing. Sorry.

      2. Godfather Bandit 42
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling benched!

    2. The Sarjeant
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Is he not playing?!??!

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

    Ivanovic owners, what are you doing ?

    1. Valar(Keith)
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Probably being smirking at us Terry owners 🙁

      1. Godfather Bandit 42
        12 years, 1 month ago

        and keeping!

    2. BabyB
      12 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

    Sterling has to rescue me.

    1. Kerz
      12 years, 1 month ago

      He's been benched mate. 🙁

      1. The Sarjeant
        12 years, 1 month ago

        NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 🙁

        1. Kerz
          12 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Licky
      12 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. theloveburglar

    4. Sebbo29
      12 years, 1 month ago

      1. Lucy.
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I think Koeman's making him into a Ramsey-type 😮 Pivot player who scores.

  22. Alan The Llama

    Schneiderlin winning this season's Golden Sidwell - awarded to defensive midfielders who defy logic and score regularly.

    1. Ludo
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, can see it continuing against all odds over the next few weeks.
