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.

    It's done, Sterling is coming.

  2. Cluckfuster

    I have no Liverpool cover, want to do Mata -> someone (probably Sterling, perhaps Lallana/Henderson) but can't help but feel that they'e about to fall apart with CL fixtures and cup runs. Injuries are nigh, right?

    1. RamaJama

      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Did mata to sterling this morning and really regret it - he is rested and Liverpool under 0-1 at home to villa !!?

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

        Reckon he'll be on to save the day and get 2 goals + 3 BAPS in a minute.

        But I won't transfer him in untill after CL game mid week

    What's Brenton waiting on? Get him on already.

    Who is better to have long term

    Fabregas or Hazard

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Cesc

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

      Fabregas, just better.

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

      I reckon you are more likely to get 6-9 poitnts consistently with Fab; but you have to be prepared to miss out on one or two 15pt+ games from Hazard

    Get sterling on , dont want those capt points going to costa

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

      Shhhh

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

      As long as Sterling stays quiet!

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

      This

    4. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry, but those would be filthy points

    5. OShaughnessy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Your Pelle premonition came true...

      I'd been eyeing him & Tadic for a cpl weeks now so, thanks for the nudge.

    6. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      This indeed, not mean, just most of my competitors have Ster (C) DC (vc).

  6. OnionBag
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Would really appreciate some opinions - Is this worth using my wildcard for? (proposed changes in caps). Since final team has 0m in bank, I guess I would need to initiate tonight.

    Krul, Manonne
    CLYNE, Pieters, B DAVIES, Chambers, N Taylor
    HAZARD, Ramsey, Sterling, Sigurdsson, ALBRIGHTON
    Costa, ROONEY, NAISMITH
    Bank 2.3m

    Krul, Manonne
    BERTRAND, Pieters, M DUFF, Chambers, N Taylor
    FABREGAS, Ramsey, Sterling, Sigurdsson, BOYD
    Costa, AGUERO, PELLE
    Bank 0m

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

      Lol

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

        Fill me in?

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

          Timing

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

            Sorry, still don't follow. Surely when you do wildcard, the best time to initiate it is right at the start of the week to ride any price jumps?

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

              I mean your posting during a massive game. Come back later 🙂

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

                Ok, fair enough.

                Not sure I'd class any game involving Villa as massive though 🙂

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

      Looks good

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

        Thanks

  7. Carl@streetkids.com.au

    I have no Newcastle cover.

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

      Congratulations

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

      You shouldn't

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

    Good play Guzan

  9. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else debating over Sterling and Costa (C) yesterday - what did you end up with ? I got lucky 🙂

  10. SUPERMAN
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Transferred in Moreno for Hutton and captained Sterling. Fail

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

    Mignolet off, Sterling on

  12. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling vs tired Villa def

  13. Oflow
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Who else has had Hutton from GW1 and not bagged a single point?

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

      Me!

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

      Bye bye costa VC points 🙁

  14. Rhaldy 7
    • 11 Years

    sterling on is crusual, wiping all those costa vc's

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

      wc's** i guess

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      yep.

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

    So the bib theory people were talking about earlier did prove right in the end..

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

      Yep, spot on

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

        You think it's trustworthy for future weeks?

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

    If RVP manages to outscore Costa tomorrow my celebrations are going to be undignified.

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

      I'll celebrate if Mata starts the match

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Often that isn't enough.

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

      As long as Falcao also outscores him, all is well.

    3. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I need Rooney to do likewise. Looks like I'm getting Costa now, Dzeko and Terry have been terrible let downs.

    4. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      My ML rivals are all on Rooney (c) - so would'nt mind RvP taking care of the goal scoring

    5. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I'm guessing either Rooney, RVP or Falcao captainers will be very disappointed tomorrow. Possibly all three. 🙁

    This is like watching Liverpool few years ago. Back then I use to take the best naps when they were playing.

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

      I actually nodded off momentarily earlier 🙂

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

        I woke up to Balotelli on the ground. This is a wonderful Saturday!

  24. Somalion
