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.

  7. Twelve years a slave

    Hmmm Moreno you better not get sent off

  8. Piggs Boson

    11 years, 7 months ago

    With Roy Keane as the puppeteer, Villa could be Crystal Pulis esque this season. They've looked very tight so far this season.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Villa have got one or two aces. If they can maintain confidence. But fixtures are SHIT.

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

        Yeah, the fixtures are shocking.

  9. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    I never understood the Moreno thing. Even the Lovren thing, he might get bonus. But Moreno?

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

      He's just as likely to get bonus as Lovren

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        No, he isn't, Billy.

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

          Yes, yes he is. Look at their BPS scores so far.

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

      Plays left wing, any CS points are a bonus.

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

      Same reasons you like Iva?

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

    oh ffs Moreno

  11. Spin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Hard to believe the price drop on Mata, he's only a good day V QPR (which is VERY possible) from being one of the top 6 mids and he's already down by 0.2...
    Depends on LVG's selection tomorrow of course but if Mata starts then I'll keep him.
    If this United team are gonna score goals then it wont be without Mata's input.
    But 0.2 down already, I seem to be alone in my thinking!

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

      I still have him. I seem to be losing a lot of value on players this season

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

        And its not easy to get back

        1. Spin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          If he has a few good wks in the nxt 4 people may start bringing him in at 8.8m
          Could get back to 9.0 soon enough then.
          But anyway it doesnt matter if youre keeping him, its if taking him out the problems may begin but Chadli and Schnederlin seem almost guaranteed to get the 0.2 back in a few wks if thats a priority for anyone.
          Personally I chase pts rather than team value.

    60 points is nothing to shout about this week
    Congrats to all Costa captainers, that's a nice 20 point cushion over the rest you got right there

    1. Chu Young Ping Pong
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yea, 60 is awful...

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Why you say 60 pts isnt good?
      You've been playing this game for 7 yrs and you thing a score of 60 isnt good.....
      From all of us on a score of 30something I offer you a long extended middle finger.
      60 odd pts is bloody good any week, anyone with it should be damn happy

    Wildcard this flaming pile of shit?

    De Gea* (4.0)

    Cahill* Chester Colocini* Moore N. Taylor

    Sterling Hazard* Siggy Ramsey Boyd

    JWP assist to be added guys?? Anyone seen it?

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

      Not seen it but SSN described it as a JWP assist

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

      I surely hope so. Didn't see it but all the scoring sites have given him it

  15. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    people criticising the service, if balotelli had shown any interest in making a run in behind, they might have looked for him

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      This ^^^.

    2. Lucy.
      • 12 Years

      Looked lazy and disinterested all game.

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

      Just before he got subbed he was standing in space on the edge of the area. Instead of playing a simple pass, Coutinho went running into their defenders. Markovic was another shitter

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Biased, much, Milanista? 😉

        1. Mílanista
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Yes, the supporting cast were still crap.

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            😆 Fair enough.

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

      Can't defend the indefensible.

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

    Lovren is awful, both personality wise and player wise

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

      Hate him. But £20m, cheers.

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Wow. What has he done?

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

        Did you not see the way he forced his move?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Ah. Yes. I thought something else had arisen.

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

          A**ehole.

          Hope he breaks his leg and then gets a red card

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

          You were happy with the money earlier.

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

      Worst player on the pitch today

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

    Moreno vs Clyne - worried about my rotation with other defenders instead of going for the better prospect. Idiot.

    Good that's another thin to rectify on my WC 😉

  18. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    19 shots for Stoke today, 2 for Leicester.

    Football can be so cruel sometimes.

    Faced three teams now where we have dominated the play but not got the three points. Sick of teams sitting deep and not coming out to play..

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

      Are you a stoke fan? Then that last statement is a bit rich.

      1. Owd Big 'Ed
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Yes.

      2. JK - Cønt ⭐

    3. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      haha joker. stoke wouldn't dream of that tactic would they... oh wait, they did it last week

      1. Owd Big 'Ed
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        We didn't play last week you clown.

        Oh, and did you actually watch that game? We were far more attacking than the sides who we have faced.

        1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          ah you pedant, of course I meant last gameweek

          these teams are just taking your tactics and using them against you.

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

          You had 28% of the posession against City.

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

      and Stoke can be #@?! sometimes LOL

  19. tm245
    • 14 Years

    That was close.

  20. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

    Hendo 😡

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Great block from henderson

    Would have been sterling goal

  22. Piggs Boson

  23. NASL Shootout

    OUT OF THE WAY HENDO

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

      That ball would be half way to St Helens if it hadn't hit Henderson.

  24. joinho
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    So the question is do you captain Costa away to Man City? Is he that good?

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      They allowed Stoke to beat them at home.

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

      Good question. Don't know

  25. Wouter
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Henderson, what the feck.

  26. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    nice block from Henderson.

  27. Venom Snake

  30. DVassell

    How does this look?

    _______________Krul______________
    Baines________Chester________Clyne
    Fabregas_Ramsey_Sterling_Sigurdsson
    Aguero_______Welbeck________Costa

    Subs: Elliot, Albrighton, Wisdom, Hutton

    0.6 in the bank

    1. Spin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Dont like Krul, Chester, Wisdom
      Other than that it looks fairly template except for Welbeck who could be a good diff
      Personally would prefer a goalscorer over Welbeck, cant see him suddenly becoming prolific
      Would use the 0.6 to do Welbeck to Pelle. great fixtures and Southampton playing very well
