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.

    I'm lost for words.

    Krul - 0
    Terry - -1
    Wisdom - 1

    No Costa
    Taylor benched.
    Sterling (C) benched.

    Newcastle fan, 4-0 loss to Southampton.

    Devastated.

      As a Newcastle fan I'm happy to take the pain if it helps us get rid of the crap that is Pardew

  8. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    I piggin hate Costa...two weeks in a row his injury stopped me (c) him...is anybody else as stupid as not to captain an injured player two weeks in a row ?....Who should I (c) next week ?..Debuchy or Jrod ?

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

      I didn't captain him both weeks for the same reason.. Absolute nightmare.

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

      Me too. Captained Hazard instead which also means I don't have Fab. Everybody else in my mini-league captained Costa.. I'm in a physical pain right now.

  9. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years

    F**k you Schmeichel

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

      Yep, would've played Hamer if I knew about the injury.

  10. Piggs Boson

  11. Fray Bentos

    Might as well hand Chelsea the title now

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

    55 with Moreno, Sterling, Di Maria and Balotelli to come. Happy with that!

  13. schlupptheweek
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    One Newcastle fan was shown of final score having a fag in the stadium, he must be desperate.

  14. Tangerine Army XI
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Clean sheets for So'ton and Palace - I have one defender from each - both didn't play (Kelly & Yoshida)
    Doh!

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

      Yoshida was never going to play. It was Alderweireld vs Gardos for that CB position, with Alderweireld most likely.

      1. Tangerine Army XI
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I know, had other areas to take care of, and was hoping maybe a late injury would allow Yoshida to play.
        Cest la vie

    Chelsea on for an invincible season?

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

      need to stop conceding first imo

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

        True. But all the ingredients are there to make that happen.

    2. Louis
      • 13 Years

  16. Deo
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling (C), Costa (VC) and Duff as first my first sub.

    Sterling does't come on and I get 21 more points. He does... *sigh*

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

      He's not even on the bench.

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

        Sorry I was wrong, I mistakenly overlooked his name on the team sheet. Bad new s for you if he comes on, but good for me as I have him 🙂
