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.

    So, Whats the template WC team after today's games?

    I'm tempted to pull the trigger after an awful start so far.

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

      Costa
      Costa - Costa - Costa - Costa
      Costa - Costa - Costa - Costa -

        Snap, same time too 😆

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

        Don't forget that 3 match suspension people are on about!

    2. Mr Smith
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Costa x15

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Benching nightmare.

    3. PogChamp
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Get sterling on.

  4. Mr Smith
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Is Wilson likely to keep his place?

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

      Nope

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

    Sorry fellas if this has been asked before but will Baines get assist for Lukaku's goal (1st one)

    If not why ?

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

      One assist and 3 BP. Not enough?

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

        Just wanted to understand Rules.

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

        and as a manager I always want more points

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

      No, it was a cross deflected out to Lukaku by defender

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

        Ta 🙂

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

    A Moreno/Balo combo goal would be nice. Thanks 🙂

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

      Senderos Hutton looks more likely though

  7. Sunny 😎
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Sorry for the repost but did anyone watch the Spurs game? How did Lamela play?

  8. BigManBakar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Post bottomed...

    Who would you rather own for the next few weeks?

    A) Ivanovic
    B) Baines

    1. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Ivanovic. He's fecking mental, playing as the second striker

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

    Come on Villa. Hang in there.

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

    Don't tell me someone has Huttinjo starting...

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

      He'll be coming off my bench 🙂

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

        U r lucky son of a bitch

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

          Not yet.

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Nate

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

      Nate I think

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

      Me.

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

      Coming in off the bench

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

    Current front 3

    Costa, Balotelli, Diouf

    I have 1.1m in the bank, so I could do Diouf to Pelle.
    Anyone else got any ideas? Or just keep what I have, as Stoke have some favourable fixtures coming up.

  12. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    It's simple, Sterling just has to score four goals in the second half to save my gameweek!

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

      😆

    2. Mr Smith
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      2 goals and an assist and he's matched Costa, game on 😎

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

    Sterling warming up......

  14. Dormer
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling is now warming up.

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

    Sterling warming up

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

    Nooooooooooooooo

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

    Villa just booting it away now, cant keep this up.

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

      All that pressing makes teams like Villa very, very tired.

  18. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Need to drop Bruce tonight and have 0.5m in the bank. Don't want to risk a price drop as I won't be able to get a decent defender.

    Looking at one of these:
    1) Chambers (Unsure of Debuchy's injury status)
    2) Naylor
    3) PVA
    4) Wilson

    Thoughts?

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

      2 or 3

  19. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    I guess at least 75% of us wondering why we didnt captain costa, well heres a remineder

    1) yellow flag
    2) uncertsin start or reduced minutes
    3) champ league in few days
    4) swanseas previous good record
    5) other options with good fixtures

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

      I was afraid he would be taken of early honestly

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Dont like weeks like this, too easy to lose the captains lottery

        1. MARVELLUS
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          I prefer weeks where the captain isn't too obvious. But I would say that...

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

      Reasons why I chose sterling:
      Villa are weak
      Sterling is on form
      Forgot to press confirm to change it back to costa

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

        haha, this

    3. NASL Shootout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, it all makes sense. But it seems so obvious in retrospect.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        It always does, the hindsight merchants are never wrong

    4. Rhaldy 7
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      i watched ur wc with interrest, i did cap costa though 😛

    5. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      It was always between Costa and Rooney. You picked Roo, let's see what he does tomorrow

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

        Could easily match Costa anyway

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

      Reasons why I did captain Costa

      1. Form
      2. Fixture

      As log as you've got a nailed on vice, no problems

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

    Raheem warming up

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

    IF sterling is going to come on, I'd love him to beat fowlers record hattie record

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

      I think Fowler is more deserving of it personally

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

      He is 🙂 he won't 🙁

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

    Villa defence is decent so far this year

  23. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard -> Cesc for -4 sounds nuts but I think it's the right thing to do...

    1. Macio11
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Don't know if its worth the -4 but I'm thinking about this transfer as my free.

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

    Lewis Hamilton proud to be a gunners fan, check all his pics on twitter 🙂

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

    I think Rooney will get goal and assist tomorrow

  26. Declan
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    1. NASL Shootout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      No we don't 🙂

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

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

    4. Carl@streetkids.com.au
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yup.

      vc and bench coming on should be half points

  30. Ed
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    So who else has Sterling (C) with Costa in their team? 🙁
