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.

    Atletico- school of strikers

    costa torres aguero all fresh out of atletico destroyed it in their first seasons in England

    Are welbeck and aguero injured?.

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Neither

  4. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Sterling being benched and only Moreno playing, I've lost interest in this next game all of a sudden.

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Hoping Liverpool are 3 up after an hour with 3 OGs so Sterling stays benched...

      1. BabyB
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        +1

  5. Jafooli

    Rooney (c) oh yeah 😆

    It was approaching evening, this side of Merseyside
    My Costa-less team almost led me to cry
    But up stepped an Italian determined to win the night
    Sporting my armband against Villa just seemed not to be a fair fight
    He has one clear intention foremost in his mind
    And that is all the Villa defenders he will get behind
    And when he finally scores a hatrick, you will hear me shout:
    YESSSS HELL YES! BALO YOU LEGEND YESSSSSS I'M NAMING ALL OF MY CHILDREN REGARDLESS OF GENDER AFTER YOU!!!!!!

    1. Declan
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      That's a Balo fail so.

  8. BantamPhil
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Terry owner
    Kelly does not play and PvA comes on with a big fat zero
    Sterling (C) with Naismith (VC)
    Triple Utd to look forward to tomorrow (including Mata)

    The only positive is I have Costa, but so does everyone else

    I don't think I can keep my WC till GW8

    1. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years

      Be glad you have costa. Some do not... 🙁

    1. AarÖn Özilski
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      He will be red carded for making eye contact with Balotelli.

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years

    5. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      If Liverpool look solid, I will probably bring in Moren or Lovren

    6. Mulder
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Thinking

    7. BigManBakar

      • 13 Years

      Scouting for potential replacements

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        good idea and well done on Pelle, looks like it's the difference between us atm

        1. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Thanks JK! Baines appear to be the favorite atm, but he has United and Liverpool away in the next 3 🙁

    8. Admiral Stark
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Potentially trading for Ivan

    9. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I have no idea.

      He'll drop in price, and he's not likely to get anything at man city next week. But the only way I can justify getting him out would be if I WC.

    10. Holy See
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Drinking.

  13. Licky
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Can't wait to see Lallana get some gametime.

  14. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Sterling (c) not playing. This Brendan troll.

  15. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    71 with Moreno Sterling Rooney to play (Only if I had captained Costa and benched Shawcross & Ivan instead of Moore and Duff) 😀

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Shoulda coulda woulda

    2. Sebbo29
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      you have 71 without Costa captain? WOW

  16. Brian (Not the Messiah)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Costa(C) till end of season?

    1. Jack Frost
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      until the first RC... you mean.

    2. Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Aye I made that mistake today

  17. Jack Frost
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Who is Impressive Tackle? Is he in the HOF? Thanks

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Spend a bit more time lurking. He's very well known here.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        doesn't come on very much any more though

      2. Jack Frost
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        OH well, he was one of the experts I followed last couple of years... Liked his team and choices. Now he must have changed his team name (cause the guy who had his "number" on Total FPL (rivals) took a 20 point hit today). LOL.

        Is he with your Old Farts league? Thanks. I live in the States, did well here one year, then collapsed last year with the RVP wrecking ball.

  18. Randy_Marsh
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    The big theory wasn't bollocks after all

    1. Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Bib even

    2. AarÖn Özilski
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yup the big bang theory is a good sitcom.

  19. Chris_Fàbregas #DOOS…
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    C'mon, VILLA!!!!!!!!!!

  20. CellinoArmy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Come on Cleverley, You know what to do, 3 goals to serve Brendan right for benching sterling.

  21. eish
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    is sterling nailed on after this game week?

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No, bigger squad he wont play every game

  22. DIegoCosta19
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    aguero costa falcao for me, once falcao gets going and aguero stops struggling for fitness

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I is already there man

  23. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Be careful Brendan: many managers underestimate the other teams in the PL. Benching Sterling could very well come back and bit Liverpool where it hurts most.

  24. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Did BR just say there 'I'll give Sterling a 5min run out at the end' 😯

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      😀

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        😛

    2. AarÖn Özilski
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Enough for a goal.

  25. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Premature WC Draft

    Vito - Heaton
    Rose - Chambers - Clyne - Naylor - Hutton
    Di Maria - Fabregas - Ramsey - Siggy - Boyd
    Falcao - Costa - Jovetic

    +0.1

    Depends on injury news and United tomorrow.

    1. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Like it. Not sold on Jovetic or Falcao though... Would rather Aguero and Welbeck.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Not convinced by Welbeck tbh. We'll see how United play tomorrow.

    2. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Jovetic? Oh dear

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        He should be back next week, and I believe he is nailed.

        Why don't you like him?

    3. Barry78
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Only thing I'd put in the is Southampton cover tadic or pelle and not liking rose either but otherwise very nice

    4. Admiral Stark
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No Sterling? 😀

  26. JT's Dog
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Villa management look like homeless winnos

  27. nikobg
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    i'm on 51 incl. baps, 3 players to go. Disappointing score after wildcard. But could have been worse.

  28. Randy_Marsh
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Shaky start by Moreno

  29. The Machine
    • 13 Years
