Back in the game after another international interval, Saturday presents us with an array of treats that begins at the Etihad. Manchester City host Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs side in what looks to be a fascinating encounter, with a gaggle of prime Fantasy assets on show.

Given the doubt surrounding Diego Costa’s availability, suddenly the significance of Sergio Aguero’s pitch time and points increases. The Argentine will doubtless carry the armband for some and, in the main, they’ll be hoping that Spurs can provide opposition that forces Manuel Pellegrini’s men to seek out goals.

Certainly Spurs are set up to trouble the home side, with Pochettino’s high pressing game and emphasis on the counter, potentially exploiting key weaknesses in the City rearguard.

Following this, we have a fresh batch of six three o’clock clashes warming in the oven and you can look to our Twitter feed for all the lineup news from those matches.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    wrote a story how not to play fpl, it was a story of my last 2 gameweeks where the entire team had been set-up for sturridge for weeks. hazard was then sold for a hit to afford aguero instead last gw, only to know be bought back for a hit this gw. lost money on mata despite only owning for last gw, lost 0.1 on sturridge and rvp the day each was bought before they had even played for me.
    accidently sold the wrong mid last night trying to fix it in a panicked and tired haze (i only saw the sturridge news very late in the day). by selling boyd instead of puncheon i now have 1.5mil less to play with and have a weekly benching headache.
    it's a monumental screw up of bad decisions and horrible luck.* just in hits 12 points have been flushed down the toilet, with hazard deciding to get his first penalty of the season last gameweek you can probably add another 10 points flushed away there. i captained hazard in the 2 home games prior to arsenal (SWA &VIL) where they scored 7 goals and he got 2 points and 3 points. then the game i sell him he gets 11 points! having an absolute mare.

    *to all the hindsight heroes out there sturridge only got 1 injury in the whole of last season, the same if not less than other players who never get called injury prone.

      *oh, the point was more that i wrote this whole thing then it didn't get through the filter so all went to waste. was very apt, nightmare few weeks.
