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.

  4. Honeybadger
    12 years, 1 month ago

    1. Test Eagles
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah... those that have been awarded have mostly been missed or saved!

    2. Phaze 1
      12 years, 1 month ago

  5. Mulder

      1. Mulder
        12 years, 1 month ago

        1. Pedram
          12 years, 1 month ago

  6. Woy

  7. Randy_Marsh
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Lallana having a mare, markovic not much better

    1. Alan The Llama
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Markovic been better than Coutinho

      1. Randy_Marsh
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I forgot he was on the field

  8. super zlatan
    12 years, 1 month ago

      Shipping.thinkng welbeck.x

      1. Frank Black
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Awful fixtures, though.

  9. Sunny 😎
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Where are all those people who were saying Costa is a donkey during pre-season?

    1. Alan The Llama
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I never called him a donkey. I called him a potato.

      1. Sunny 😎
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I should own up too..I called him a Hyena 😀

    2. Not Irish
      12 years, 1 month ago

      He's a donkey of a man.

      1. Sunny 😎
        12 years, 1 month ago

        You mean a man with a donkey sized manhood? 😆

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      He's gone to Milan

  10. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Senderos is a piece of shit.

  11. Not Irish
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Senderos will be looking at a retrospective ban along with Costa then.

    1. FPL Emu
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Dreadful player, and a big douche.

      1. Piggs Boson
        12 years, 1 month ago

        He's played well this season, so far.

        1. FPL Emu
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Probably his best PL run, tbf. Doesn't make him a good player. I refuse to see that.

    2. davies
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Costa? What'd he do? (Was watching Leicester win)

      1. Not Irish
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Elbow on Siggy

        1. davies
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Bad enough to get banned?

          1. Not Irish
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Absolutely. Off the ball so the officials never saw it.

  12. davies
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Haz and Ade to Chadli and Costa for -4?

    Yay or Nay? Cheers.

  13. adddiii
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Seams...Costa in shoes of suarez. ....

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

      ummm. whut?

  14. chrrizzy
    12 years, 1 month ago

    wht the fck is senderos doing? How stupid can someone be?

    1. Pedram
      12 years, 1 month ago

      IQ below 70

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      if his IQ was 3 points lower then Vlaar would have to water him twice a day

  15. Dr Dream
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Stuck at foot of last page...
    Just makes no sense these Hazard fails...Everything I look at screams top pick...http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/4933/

    1. Sunny 😎
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I can't see those stats but being a Chelsea fan, I watch each and every game and Hazard is just amazing. He will surely explode when everybody get rid of him

      1. MJ6987
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Will he though? Or is he being less "selfish" this season - he said something to that effect didn't he?

        1. Sunny 😎
          12 years, 1 month ago

          He did say that but he also said he needs to add goals to his game and if you watch how he plays, you'll see he is a bit selfish in the way he drives at defences and gets into the box all on his own but that's when instead of going for goal, he looks for the cross/pass.

    2. Kuqi Monster
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Apparently he was central to everything today, last year as soon as I took him out he went on a scoring run, he's severely testing my patience with fabs scoring well....

    3. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      It's like Coutinho last season

    4. MJ6987
      12 years, 1 month ago

      His shots to pen area touches ratio is quite low

      1. Dr Dream
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah they are...but for how long ?

  16. comeonspurs
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Who assisted southamptons 4th goal

    1. super zlatan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Cork

    2. Konig Luther
      12 years, 1 month ago

      jwp.. they will add

      1. comeonspurs
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Why have they not added jwp assist is it in any doubt

  17. THE ORACLE
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Will people finally admit that hazard is a shit FFprospect...I have been trying to warn you lot for a long long time. Buck up your ideas. The oracle has reminded you yet again

    1. THE ORACLE
      12 years, 1 month ago

      He won't get deflections for points everygame

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Still a Helen Hunt then, eh Oracle?

    3. Chris_Fàbregas #DOOS…
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Why do you really care what people think?

      1. THE ORACLE
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Don't care...just love the attention of pro hazard ears trying to justify him

    4. MJ6987
      12 years, 1 month ago

      What about last season or the season before? What has changed this year (genuine question)?

      1. THE ORACLE
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Teams have worked out his drifting across the penalty area and he doesn't take people on anymore....plus chelsea are no longer reliant on midfield goals since the arrival of Costa.history is history...has no relevance on current tactics or form

    5. Phaze 1
      12 years, 1 month ago

      not sure if serious. Ever hear of varience?

    6. Ady87
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Lol Naismith vice captain.

  18. Mindless Freak
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Senderos has to be given a ban after this game.

    1. Sebbo29
      12 years, 1 month ago

      +500!!

  19. PogChamp
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Chance for United to make up some points tomorrow if things stay as they are.

    1. Declan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Yup, Stoke slipping up certainly opens the door.

    2. Carl@streetkids.com.au
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Man Utd 0 : QPR 1

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 1 month ago

        United'll be lucky to get nil...

  20. Piggs Boson
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like Villa are happy with 0-1. All 11 in the first 3rd of the pitch.

  21. Theseus
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Whats this talk about a Costa restrospective ban?

  22. Randy_Marsh
    12 years, 1 month ago

    I have Hutton in the subs hmmmm

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      sounds painful

    2. Tiki-Taka
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Its been 30minutes

  23. Mr.Irwin
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Is it just me or are the billboards at Anfield very annoying

    1. chrrizzy
      12 years, 1 month ago

      lol that's a first

      1. Mr.Irwin
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Think I just had an epileptic fit. Too many flashing lights

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Those billboards are at every ground these days

  24. Frank Black
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone thinks that Schneiderlin could be a serious option?

    1. Declan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Quality player, not a FPL option.

    2. Carl@streetkids.com.au
      12 years, 1 month ago

      He's in.

      Sorry I benched him.

      The thinking man was getting Williams.

    3. PogChamp
      12 years, 1 month ago

      He would be on my list but think Pelle and Clyne are better options.

      1. Frank Black
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Well, he scored once again and today Bertrand delivered more points than Clyne.

  25. comeonspurs
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Is jwp assist in any doubt

  26. MJ6987
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Matter of time before Liverpool score here surely...

    1. Declan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Shirley

    2. Piggs Boson
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I thought Lallana would score there. Good block by Senderos.

  27. super zlatan
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Dzeko owners shipping for Pelle?

    Or a bit jerky?

    1. Epic Fail
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Welbeck

  28. Plagued by indecision
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Well, spending 4 points on Sterling and giving him the armband... inspired decision.

    1. Plagued by indecision
      12 years, 1 month ago

      and I dropped Eriksen for him. Bloody brilliant.

  29. piquiblanco
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Oh feckin Sterling benched.
    I've heard about it yesterday, but was so busy that haven't even thought about my fantasy 🙁
    Hope he's not getting any minutes, Aguero VC.

    1. THE Wild Rover
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Not a chance he won't come on at this rate. I have Costa vc 🙁

      1. piquiblanco
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Aw, unlucky!

  30. THE Wild Rover
    12 years, 1 month ago
