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.

    Can't believe Aguero got 3 penalties today. Lucky Bas-tard.

    Fuming he missed.

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, it's a do-or-die moment for Spurs.

    2. Lallana_
      • 12 Years

      A few turning points this game.

    3. Sheep Flavour

      To be fair to the lad he got it on target.....more than normal.

  5. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    32 from 2 any good?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Look

    2. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nah

    3. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      True. But overall, only 14% own Kun so people like you are few

      1. Mahesh_Kumar
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Sorry. Wrong comment

  6. Sheep Flavour
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Aurego now a must or still a rota risk?

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Get soldado instead?

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He was never a rotation risk, just an injury risk

  7. super zlatan

    Chelsea subs?

  8. NATSTER

    Thinking of doing -4 pts hit.

    Pelle + Sterling + Moreno --> Aguero + Eriksen + Hutton

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Why ship Pelle?

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        It's between Welbeck or Pelle.

  10. slurzy

    Boyd hattrick to make up for Costa

    It is written

  11. Del Griffith

    Diego Costa misses the game, so vice-captains stats are relevant this week.

    1. Evs

      So not as many as thought. Like I said, Aguero only has 13% ownership.

    2. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      So kun VC is pretty small

    3. slurzy

      howard!?

    4. Venom Snake

      That's a surprise

    5. Podge
      • 15 Years

      Not as bad as I feared, big chance to make up ground missed though 🙁

    6. tm245

      That is awesome news.

      great info. Thx

    8. Kerz
      • 11 Years

      Excellent, softens the blow of not owning Kun

    9. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years

      😀

    10. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      That's brilliant, Aguero isn't featured much at all. As an owner, I'm happy enough.

  15. Saniul
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Lol I'm an Aguero owner, but should have been a Yaya hattrick. 😉

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Why should it? He doesn't take pens over Aguero

    2. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero is above Yaya in the Pen hierarchy

    3. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero is first choice?

  16. Shifty

    "Never captain early kick off player" - myth busted.

  20. Santi sensei

    2. Mahesh_Kumar

    The fantastic Liam Moore of Leicester comes in for Costa 😆

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge

    Di Sam not mention anything about Tomkins in his presser?

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years

      No, so you couldnt have helped it

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        ah fair enough

        bit annoying, I got him for the set piece threat

        Boyd comes in now so I hope he does something for the lols

  25. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    How lucky was it Yaya was benched if he played we'd all be trying to fit him in our teams again.

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I don't get your point?

      Aguero would have still taken the penalties?

    2. 123thro
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Didnt Aguero take the pen against Roma when they were both on the field at the same time? Aguero is the first choice pen taker, I think?

  26. Jones Town
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Sorry if been asked... but where the hell is Tomkins? My brilliant transfer at 11:29 this morning!!! :S

      No bloody news yet - I am as worried as you are. Collins is a disaster waiting to happen.

  27. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Sorry but Kun is essential, having Dzeko or Silva as your city cover instead just won't cover not having him

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Correct

    2. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Always. I never buy Dzeko or Jove

  28. Thick Of It

    Aguero on 65 bps at the moment, has anyone got higher this season?

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      What did Vardy get against United?
