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.

    Need a Sterling hattrick... Cant believe Costa again overcame injury concerns to score a hattrick... need to make him my permanent captain in future

    1. Wouter
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'd take a hattrick, shame he's starting on the bench though.

      Rodgers trying to underline his point about Sturridge injury

  5. DIegoCosta19
    12 years, 1 month ago

    i think the coloured flag is just the UKs warning signal that Costa is about to F*** s*** up!

  6. Alan The Llama

    Playing Boyd over Siggy worked then. The big one extra point.

    1. Sleep Talk
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Playing Naismith over Sigurdsson did not work for me. That bloody extra point.

  7. JAC THE CAT

    Balotelli Captain

      Almost exactly the same boat as me. Need pool to have a poor 1st half and then rip it up when Raheem comes on at H/T.

    1. Sleep Talk
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Will have to assess both Mata and Rooney myself.
      Mata to Fabregas is in the cards, but not to keen to do the transfer with those fixtures next week thoug.

  11. Boz

  12. Mr Wizard
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Markovic lallana coutinho ...

    None of which have 90 minutes in them yet.

    Sorry VC Costa'ers

    1. Lawrø
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully we'll be winning so comfortably Rodgers will want to give Borini, Lambert and Enrique run outs and rest Sterling for the midweek Champion's league game

  13. Ady87

    34 with bps.

    For the first time in a while I'm rooting for Liverpool to rescue my WC week.

    Lovren, Sterling, Evans, Di Maria and a Rooney to go.

    Cork and Naylor on my bench. 2nd and 3rd so need Sterling to play.

    1. Yome
      12 years, 1 month ago

  24. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
    12 years, 1 month ago

    1. BeachBadger

  28. JasonG123
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard and Terry to Ivan to Fab worth a hit? I can only just afford it.

  29. Wirtzle Gummidge
    12 years, 1 month ago
