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.

        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        think I'll join you, not sure about my other FT

        will either sell Hazard, do Rooney to Falcao or save it

        1. Heydudes13
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Saaaave. Who else could we sell hazard too other than fab.

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

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

      Yes for Terry, don't see anyone else

    6. tm245
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Own him already. About time some points came in.

  2. theloveburglar
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    lets LOL @ the damage bale ronaldo james benzema and co are going to do to this back line

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

      Indeed

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

      Doesn't really matter, Pool are aiming for 2nd in the group.

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

        basel will do some damage to that back line aswell just not as much

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Balotelli walking about

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

    Best team winning by far

  5. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    This is what you get when Tom Cleverley is in your midfield.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Hope he does well, just rather not today

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

    Although I am a S
    terling captainer I think it's absolutely ridiculous that Rogers has left him out with Sturridge injured.

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

    Please tell me there are other people who transferred Costa out before GW3 after Mourinho's lies, then didnt transfer him back in this week due to his potential injury.

    Ive missed out on at least 30points....

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

      Me.

    2. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Probably more.

    3. Judas
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      thankyou. Im on 26 points with Sterling (C) not playing and Hazard VC. Some of my rivals are on 50+ points

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

        20 pts with Sterling (C). Only balotelli to save me from a drop from 1K to 100K :/

        Best of luck to you.

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

    Agger would have defended that.

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

    Moreno still on 1 bap 😆

  10. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    This is a rout 😯

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

    Lovren is poison

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

    Rafael, 5.3m, potential OOP. Firmly on my watchlist. If United look good tomorrow.

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

      ooh nice shout

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

      Do you think Falcao will start tomorrow?

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

        Probably not. It's anyone's guess.

        RVP and Rooney are capable.

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

      Never goes more than 3 games without some sort of injury though

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

      Valencia ahead of him IMO

    5. nikobg
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      i'll do Moreno > Rafael

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

    Balotelli looks like he's got a sore tummy.

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

    Any UCL tips for cheapies in each outfield position?

  15. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    So it looks like getting in Moreno was extremely knee-jerky move... doh.

  16. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    hats off to all Costa captainers, I lost my nerve when I ruled out Sterling as an option and went with Rooney

    1. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Still should hopefully get a minimum of an assist... I'm not panicking

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

    Pool struggling to cope with Cleverley 😉

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

      Hope he scores.

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

      It is good to see players step up when et move to a big club.

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

    Liverpool look great at the back and even better going forward. Don't need Sterling. Apparently.

  19. gravless
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Villa's best signing has been Roy Keane

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

      Yep that beard would scare anyone

    2. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Keano 👿

    Just to really rub salt in the wounds for Hazard owners...me included http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/4671/

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

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

        Just shocking...

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

      Have a look at Ivanovic's stats this week, yet again... Also check out his and Wayne Routledge's average position.

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

    When is Benteke back? 🙂

  24. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Looking at a possible -8 coming off my WC.

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

      good job then

  25. Mulder
    • 15 Years

    Hendo straight red not given

  26. Chu Young Ping Pong
    • 13 Years

    YC for Whiteboy7thst

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

    This game needs more Lambchop

  28. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    That's it! I'm going back to my original pre season plan to buy cheap defence and load up on MF and FWDs! Big defenders just not getting the points for me.

  29. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    not trying to be a captain hindsight or anything but just find people still having liverpool defenders just bizarre. poor poor record last season, showed way too many cracks in the first 3 too ( despite one cleanie)

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

      They got a cleanie away to Spurs, thought their problems would be behind them

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

        Same. 🙁 Naive.

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

      Yeah you are right. I was wrong. 🙁

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      in contrast there are some here still with chelsea defenders based on last seasons record.
      ahem,

    4. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, you are trying to be a Captain Hindsight.

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

    I get the feeling that I've benched a Hutton CS 😀

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

      I played Vlaar in the hope he'd play
