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.

      Ozil

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

    I guess 41 after baps is rubbish

    But at least Rooney (C) ADM and Evans to go

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

        Didn't you WC. I'm someone - looked just like you - was complaining all week about Rooney's price not dropping.

          11 years, 7 months ago

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

    Just ignore stats for Coutinho. His shooting is dreadful

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

    How many shots is that for Coutinho now?

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

    just thought I had a great gw til captain scores 1p 🙁

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Same, I'm just lucky that a lot in my league didn't captain costa too

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

    I didn't think Coutinho had that in him

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

    Coutinho the only one shooting and he's absolutely useless 🙄

  9. Ted Maw
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Cout is so so so poor

  10. Fray Bentos
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    coutinho has been taking shooting lessons from gerrard 🙁

    1. Fray Bentos
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      speaking of which i had to check BBC line ups that he hasnt been subbed off

  11. Sebbo29
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Horrid GW this, 35 pts pre-bap and only Rooney to go (VC), grrr

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

    So you know Eriksen scored? Doesn't he tend to have purple patches? Is this the beginning?

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

      WBA (h) next is enough to give anybody some form

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

      Just a pity he plays on thursday 😕

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

        But it'll be the Spurs Europa XI? 😉

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

      Shipped him for Tadic instead if Dzeko to Pelle. 20 points difference, that decision.

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

    Liverpools new signings are a bunch of flops

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

      We will see, might have pulled a Tottenham

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

        I do think Moreno is a class player other than that never rated any

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Markovic will come good.

    3. Ted Maw
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I think Markovic has done alright. Moreno and Lallana will be good buys. Balotelli and Lovren look dodgy though

    4. Fray Bentos
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      too many of them. need time to click.

  14. Rhaldy 7

  15. Hasselbaink Forever
    • 12 Years

    Debuchy owners, who are you bringing in for him?

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

    Feck me Gerrard is hopeless.

  17. Pinoche
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Ref has got more touches than Borini

  18. Az

    Bruce chances of playing tomorrow?

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

      Zero? Really? How come?

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

    Villa with 3 CS in 4 games 😯

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

      Concrete Ron

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Ridiculous

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

    Because I thought Costa may not start I brought in Sterling and made him captain.
    In the rank of my all time Fantasy Football cock ups this may rank as the worst.
    As for Brendan Rodgers, he gets what he deserves for leaving his best player on the bench. A defeat.

    Rodgers you are an absolute IDIOT!

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

      Oh, I also benched Guzan for Manone. Disaster!!!

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

      yup he fcuked up

    3. Fray Bentos
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      and if he keeps playing him every game till he gets injured? will he still be an idiot?

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

      Sterling wouldn't have made all that much difference, Villa have been happy to sit back and play deep, not much most players could have done, you either need luck or magic to nick a goal against teams that play like that.

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

        Sterling would have made a difference I think. Only getting 30 minutes doesn't help.

  21. 420king
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    What's the deal with Hamer? Why did he start, will he keep starting?

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

      Kasper injured on international duty

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

      Kasper had a knock.

      And he has a beard.

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

    And thinking I sold Huttoninjo because of Villa fixtures...

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

    No idea who to captain next week

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

      We'll find out which United player tomorrow 😉

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

        Hopefully yeah!

    2. The Devil Wears Prada
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      hutton, obviously

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

      Aguero or Costa

  24. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    29 points ...on a wildcard week 🙁

    Poor

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

      Ouch!

  25. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Falcao: looked tempting. Did anyone (C) falcao over DCosta?

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

      A few in my ML did.

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

        Same here, a few wild cards to bring him in.

    2. The Devil Wears Prada
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      just having him over rooney was punt enough for me.

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

      works ML is full of Falcao owners/captainers hope he gets 20 mins and doe zero

    4. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      should look interesting for those who WC him. If he gets 90min, that dude will want to impress from the start. problem is his form. for colombia against Brasil he played few minutes

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

    Well, I dunno if we'll see Sterling on the bench much more now at least.

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

    Balo sucks. Selling him.

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

    game over. grats villa

  29. jurgenizer | TRIPEIROS
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Captained Sterling
    -4 Sturridge to Balotelli
    Hutton as my last man on the bench

    #fml

    Great job, Villa. Had a plan after that goal and made it happen.
