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.

    Hazard to Di Maria make sense as my FT?

    1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      No

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

    I don't know which was my worst move... Captaining Sanchez over Costa or doing Pelle -> Welbeck 😐

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

    Just saw Southampton's goals again - no Pelle assist. JWP 1 maybe even 2.

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      So it's a phantom assist?

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

        Yeah won't be there much longer.

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

      No assist for the third

  4. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone with Costa captain and Pelle in his team/?

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

      Will Costa and Speroni do ?

    2. Screaming Midget
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      That moment when you get really excited because you (c) Costa - then realise pretty much everybody who owns him will have done the same anyway.

      1. Lyonnais
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        (C)osta and Pelle here 🙂

    3. Dougal McGuire
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. brought in Pelle for Jovetic. Finally my transfer went right

  5. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Pelle 100% non assist for the last goal

    1. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      should be removed then, nothing is finalized yet

  6. Butters_lfc9
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Should I use my wildcard on this?Sitting on 28 and not having Costa has cost me

  7. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Did Pelle assist Cork?

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

      Just watched the goal and I'm not sure who it was but I know it wasn't Pelle or Tadic.

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

        It was also heavily deflected as well.

    2. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Apparently he assisted the 4th.

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

    2 pts between three defenders and keeper...Time to log off and take up knitting I think...

  9. Darsh
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Tad early, but how does Terry > 5.6 and Naismith > Pelle for a -4 sound? A no right, especially with Naismith playing Palace...

    1. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      you mean the palace that has conceded 8 goals, why are you concerned?

    2. Absinthe Minded
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I would for maybe Moreno?
      Looking at the same 2 out but Pelle & a 5def in

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

        Quite proud of that 🙂

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

      How? Im on 50+ ffs! 😀

      Must be plenty of Costa captainers.

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

        We'll get them with Rooney (C)

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

      Not sure if you're trolling to get people to look 😀

      Says 501-412 in our favour on mine

  11. HP.
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Will the assist given to Pelle get changed to JWP?

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

    19 shots for Stoke today, 2 for Leicester.

    Football can be so cruel sometimes.

    Faced three teams now where we have dominated the play but not got the three points. Sick of teams sitting deep and not coming out to play...

  13. jurgenizer | TRIPEIROS

    Sterling (C)

    Costa (vc)

    I'm not religious, but...

    1. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 12 Years

      I'm on my knees too

    2. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Have a mate in the same position. I'd be down on my knees too!

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

    3 Liverpool subs in 2nd half:

    Borini --> Lallana
    Lambert --> Balotelli
    Lucas --> Henderson

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

      Please be right

  15. Screaming Midget
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    John Terry did me well.

    Got back home at 11.45am, remembered I'd forgotten to do Jovetic --> Pelle

    Not happy.

      You've had two weeks for that.

    I almost want to give up already. Shit week after shit week.

    1. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years

      sooooo much this

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

    Terry -> Lovren/Moreno.. Yes or no??

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

      Thinking about Baines 🙂

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

    47 with Balotelli, Sterling, Di Maria, Lovren and Evans to play.

    If I'd captained Costa or Pellè over Haz... if only.

    Ah well! Awesome day of football regardless. 🙂

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

      Including bonus ?

    2. jurgenizer | TRIPEIROS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      that is the spirit

  20. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    How does Rodgers think he can afford to leave Sterling out with no Sturridge, against one of the tighter defensive units in the league who have a decent record at Anfield? Inexpilcable.

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      No Vlaar

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

    Terry to Baines looks really tempting

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

      look down 😀

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

        Haha 🙂

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

      Missing out on a Baines 12 pointer gives me pangs... but travelling to Anfield and Old Trafford after Palace...

  22. adddiii
    • 12 Years

    Doing hazard to sanchez....!!!!

  23. Geordienufc1
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    24 games in 2014, 14 points. Newcastle 🙁 I do not understand how Pardew survives. That is absolutely pathetic.

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

    replacements for JT ❓

    am considering Baines

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

      Me too 🙂

  25. Call Me Guybrush
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone looking at a total defender wipeout?

    Almost there with Jones out and zeros for Colo, Wisdom and PvA. Chester to play.

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

      'fraid so. Unless Caulker bags a goal or Utd continue to be toothless in attack.

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

    Wow. Mirallas goal was very lucky. Terrible goalkeeping.

  27. Screaming Midget

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm

      I'd say %50 so %25 of players

      I didnt

  28. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    I just took the shell off my racing snail to see if it would make it any faster.

    To be honest I think it's made it more sluggish

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

      Haha, very good

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

    So from now each time we learn Costa got injured , immediately we captain him.
