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.

      Cleverly is gonna dominate this game just to laugh at us

    • DIegoCosta19

      Atletico- school of strikers

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

    • Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Are welbeck and aguero injured?.

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

        Neither

    • Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

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

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

          +1

    • Jafooli

      Rooney (c) oh yeah 😆

    • S.Kuqi

      No baps for Mirallas 🙁

      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, 7 months ago

        That's a Balo fail so.

    • BantamPhil
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 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
        11 years, 7 months ago

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

      2. Debauchy

      1. AarÖn Özilski
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

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

      2. Podge
        • 15 Years

        • Art Vandelay
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

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

        • Mulder
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Thinking

            11 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

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

        • Admiral Stark
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Potentially trading for Ivan

        • Geordienufc1
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 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.

        • Holy See
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Drinking.

      5. Licky
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Can't wait to see Lallana get some gametime.

      6. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Sterling (c) not playing. This Brendan troll.

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

          Shoulda coulda woulda

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

      8. Brian (Not the Messiah)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Costa(C) till end of season?

        1. Jack Frost
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          until the first RC... you mean.

        2. Randy_Marsh
          • 15 Years

          Aye I made that mistake today

      9. Jack Frost
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

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

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

            doesn't come on very much any more though

          2. Jack Frost
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 7 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.

      10. Randy_Marsh
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        The big theory wasn't bollocks after all

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

          Bib even

        2. AarÖn Özilski
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Yup the big bang theory is a good sitcom.

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

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

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

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

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

        is sterling nailed on after this game week?

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

          No, bigger squad he wont play every game

      14. DIegoCosta19
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

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

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

          I is already there man

      15. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 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.

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

        2. AarÖn Özilski
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Enough for a goal.

      17. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

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

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

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

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

          Jovetic? Oh dear

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

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

            Why don't you like him?

        3. Barry78
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 7 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, 7 months ago

          No Sterling? 😀

      18. JT's Dog
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Villa management look like homeless winnos

        • nikobg
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

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

        • Randy_Marsh
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Shaky start by Moreno
