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.

  9. Essan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    I am guessing that taking out Hutton for lovren was not a good idea ......

  10. Sebbo29
    • 11 Years

        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years

            • 15 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

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

      Amen. Resting players for the Premier League isnt a bad idea.

      Because they wont be in it next year.

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

    Lol @ Liverpool.

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

    So glad I held out on getting Sterling in this week - bullet dodged 🙂

    That's where this website is so valuable, we knew there was a good chance he was being rested

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

      just like Costa was 😉

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

        Nah - same again, most people knew that Costa would be fine

        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

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

    I'll take the 5 points for Hutton.

  25. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Hutton would have probably ended up with 8 had it not been for the yellow guess ill take his 5 and run
