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.

    Did JWP get an assist ??

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

      Yes

        Its not been added?

    Hazard owners, are you switching to Fabregas or keeping ?

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

      Seeing how Mata gets on tomorrow. If he does nothing, I have two big problems.

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Unsure.

      Hazard assisted the assister on all 4 of Chelsea's goals today.

      In a decade of playing FPL, I don't think I've ever witnessed a more complete, threatening performance from an attacking player go unrewarded. Fascinating.

      A sign of Costa's new role as Chelsea's poacher and Fabregas' new role as Chelsea's assister which will limit Hazard this year OR a FPL machine waiting to explode as last year's Player of the Year (14 league goals) will soon get on the end of those Fabregas assists and help create Costa's poaching?

      Amazing really. In "real life" there was no player more world class today than Hazard. Looked like Zidane, Suarez, all rolled into one.

      2 fantasy points.

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

        this is why I dont like the BAPS based on stats

      2. Spin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Based on what you've written, you've gotta keep him.
        Let all else ship him out and you'll be there when he delivers.
        Seems to me that Haz, Costa AND Fab might be an option

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

      I'm going to be stubborn and keep.. Only because I want rid of Terry more.

    4. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Switch, even for a hit

    5. Logipuh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I already have Fab. Still 2 home games in next 3 matches, so I think i will hold on to Hazard if nothing else comes up. He assisted the assister twice today. Frustrating!

  3. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Err, unles Pelle assisted one of his own goals then he will be losing an assist, because that assist was JWP's.

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

      Did he assist Cork?

      1. The Finnisher
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Ahh, oops.

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

      Heaton over Krul is a good idea

  4. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Can't wait to see Lallana play

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

      Cant wait to see him come off for Sterling 😆

    The costa injury thing is a myth. He's never actually injured

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Silly boy then for coming off in the Champions League Final after 8 minutes

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

    Knowing that probably 90% of people in Ultimate FPL have captained Costa is very annoying.. Thought I was being smart (C)ing Sanchez.

  8. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Can't believe I captained Sterling over Costa. Unbelievable.

    1. Game of Stones
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      You're not the only one my friend...

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

      Same here mate, my VC is Roonpig though. Is Costa your VC?

      1. Owd Big 'Ed
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Roonpig is mine too. Was between the three of them.

    3. jackluhg
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      same 🙁

  9. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling won't be able to scratch his balls on that bench without us knowing on here 😀

    Sterling Watch t-minus 25 minutes..

  10. CellinoArmy
    • 12 Years

    On 28 from 8 this week, surely warrants a wildcard? or not?

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      No it's just one week.

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

      It's more about your team than your score.

      Need a minimum of three obvious moves (not including bench fodder tidying)

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

        This. I know a lad who wildcarded last week and got a similar score. And his team looked great coming into today

  11. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    The Blue of Leicester around?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Look down

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

      Woah, best timing ever.

    3. Egg noodle

      Helloooo. Eccstaticcc 😀

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

        Thoughts on the game? Ulloa and Cambiasso a real great bit of business by Nige.

        1. Egg noodle
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Cambiasso turned the game around for us imo.
          And Hamer at the end - what a legend. Our defence is working so much better than most had initially anticipated aye. Loved the fact that the forwards were falling back to help out even in the 90th!

  12. Egg noodle
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone know how many hours from now does the Mayweather Maidana fight start?
    Thanks

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

      Probably 12 hours.

      1. Egg noodle

        Cheers bud

  13. The Iron Tulip
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    After this GW:

    Krul and Rooney > Forster and Pelle for free?

    Yes or no?

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

      You will have loads of cash though

      1. The Iron Tulip
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        And that's a bad thing? Can use it to upgrade my defence.

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

    Who should I get for Hazard?

    Got Ramsey and Fabregas.

    Or stay strong?

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

      Fabregas.

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

        Errr....

    2. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Has to be Sterling

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

        Still?

  15. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling on for Lallana after 60 looks like a nailed on sub.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      yep

  16. FiveStar
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    59 with BPS, Sterling, Rooney, Mata, Caulker and De Gea to come! Ranked 2700 so hopefully a decent rise again. Lots of things going my way so far

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

      Good going

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

    Jovetic + Mata ---> Diego Costa and Schneiderlin now??

  18. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    4 defenders. 3 points.

    Standard.

  19. Game of Stones
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Inb4 Lallana bandwagon 😉

  20. twobobblues
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Can some post bonus points from all matches?

  21. Yome
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Pelle assist given, surely a mistake by FPL??

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Did you see the goal? Most on here were saying it was a JWP assist, I haven't seen the goal

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

        I saw the goal, Pelle assisted JWP!

  22. SneakyPete
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    BERBINHO'S FOREHEAD hope you remember me from last night and Thats why Baines 😉

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

    Really didn't want to make this call, but I'm really leaning towards Haz > Fab this week.

    And yet a little voice in my head is still telling me to keep him... probably the voices of my ML rivals.

  24. FPL Touches
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Highest pts scorer in the Pool game? My prediction - Sterling.

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

      Yep

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

    I cost myself a whole point playing Siggy and Hazard over Marney

  26. Billy Gilmore
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Good week in UFPL so far. 91 from 9

    Sterling, Di Maria, DDG and Robertson to come

  27. Dont give a fuchs

    That feeling.

  28. BigManBakar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Just realised Pelle was awarded the assist as well... Beast! Glad I captained him...

  29. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Haz and Ade for Chadli and Costa for -4?

    Yay or Nay

  30. FPL Notebook (John)
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Hopefully Liverpool go three up, and Sterling can stay off pitch. Have Duff's 8 on the bench
