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.

    Switched my captain from Aguero To Di Maria this morning. *sigh*

      At least you own Kun

      Most don't

      Aguero's captain % will be low and ADM could well score well. You've still got Aguero in your team, better than most!

    1. Ludo

  6. Bøwstring The Carp

    13.8% ownership..... wonder what percentage of those (c) him.... rank should be graaaaand

  7. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Any other non aguero owners thinking that clock is going too slow

  8. Scratch
    • 16 Years

    Useless Aguero why'd he have to miss that first half pen 🙁

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      not satisfied with 4 goals?

    Aguero in Playon making me feel better about not having h in FPL

  10. nikobg
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Aguero has been my captain for the past 5 gameweeks, and he finally paid off!!!

  11. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Wasn't clear before: what I meant was, Aguero has now got more FPL points than Costa, so is the top overall scorer in the game.

    You guys will all shut up when Lukaku puts up a 5-spot later. Man I'm a genius

    1. OPTA FPL

      😮

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years

        you have Lukaku?
        ok

        1. Hibbopotamus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Yep, my grand differential. 😐 Plan was always to pick up Kun after the Spurs game, was off by a week. Rats.

  14. JWF
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Holy crap, a player went down in the box and NO PENALTY was given.

  15. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Aguero has opened up this year's FPL a bit now.

  16. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years

    Costa and Silva out for Kun and Eriksen (-4)??????

  17. Seb Wassell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    So the big question, is Costa out for 3 weeks and do we transfer him?

    1. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Unconfirmed atm

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      If he is then he's cannonballing out of my team, fed up of the 0 information about him as well from Mou.

      1. darko
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Hindsights a wonderful thing and all, but if it wasn't for Mou being full of it the rest of the time, i'd have made the Costa to Kun move. Very irritating!

    3. Mr Imp
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      That's the question for me too. I would want Costa back in my team once he returns, but there is a 0.4m difference between his selling price and his current value as things stand. I am inclined to keep him and rely on my subs until he returns, but will see what news comes out after today's games.

    omg Navas has been so frustrating in this game

  19. st4rt__

    Costa & Pelle out for Aguero & Berahino in, not even sorry. Can't afford not being able to afford Aguero after today.

    1. Clay

      This.

  20. John t penguin

    Hope spurs score again to take aguero down a point for 2 goals lost

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Doesn't apply to strikers mate

      1. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Really?

        1. OPTA FPL

          lol

  21. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Maybe we were planning on resting Costa for this match all along for our Champions League game during the week? We should still be capable of beating Palace with Remy up top.

    Nice only 13.8% actually own Aguero, never mind captaining him.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      = 500k people

    2. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      About 4.7% of a random sample of teams captained him http://fpldiscovery.wordpress.com/2014/10/18/gw-8-transfers-and-team-selection/#more-2121

      No thanks.

    I think this forum is clearly making it seem like everyone has Aguero (c)/(vc).
    For those of us who have him and didn't captain there's no point getting worked up, 13.8% ownership is nothing we'll still jump the rankings. A lot of that will be inactive teams as well.

    Those who don't have him altogether...ouch.

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      In fact, I'm prepared to say only 6-7% of the game will have him as captain by the end of the GW.
