We have to face it – after the momentous points bonanza of Gameweek 8, this weekend may well be a bit of a comedown.

Six Saturday fixtures will have the task of setting us up for another round of three-figure hauls and, ironically, it all begins with last weekend’s leading man on show as Man City crash Upton Park to take on West Ham.

Sergio Aguero and City will surely face an uncomfortable ride in East London, with the resurgent Hammers giddy at the prospect of facing the champions whilst sitting in fourth place in the table. Fantasy managers will, nonetheless, be anticipating and expecting the Aguero show to rumble on through the home defence: the Argentine sports the armband for many and we’ll look for at least one goal from him amongst the huff and puff of today’s early kick-off.

Following that, we’ve just a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs, before Swansea host Leicester in a gentle-looking evening clash to see us out.

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

              Not finished the main season of it yet. 5 episodes to go and the prequel. Bit of a disappointing second season.

                Yep the last episode is incredible though. Worth getting through some of the bad for it. Goes out with a bang. I love the film too but not everyone does. It's very very very dark

  4. mipola

    West Ham deserve more than an one goal lead.Clearly the better team in the first half.

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Downing could have made it 2 and if someone got a touch of Amalfitano's ball it could've been 3-0 right now

      1. mipola
        12 years, 9 days ago

        A much improved side from last season.

    Genuine question, i completely missed the first half, how have Aguero and City looked?

    1. Syd.
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Aguero looks okay but City are all over the place

    2. MJ6987
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Jaded

    3. mipola
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Aguero looked decent.City looked okay,not their greatest performance.

    4. Your Mum's Athletic

      thanks all

    5. MattysFantasyFooty
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Terrible and Aguero hasn't really been in the game much due to the hammers playing very well

  11. Rabbinton
    12 years, 9 days ago

    2nd place in my ML has gone for 4 5 1with Wellbeck (c)

    The sort of crap that'll result in him overtaking me

    1. chrisjdgrady
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Lol I love it

    2. AlCapwnUK
      12 years, 9 days ago

      I have someone playing 5-3-2, admittedly they are over 100 points behind and perhaps not a font of fantasy football knowledge

      1. Rabbinton
        12 years, 9 days ago

        He's 23 points behind, I'm concerned

        Its a good quality league as well

  12. SG8
    12 years, 9 days ago

    If Aguero does blank this week, he will have given me 42 points in the past 2 weeks. And I will be p*ssed off. This is what FPL does to you...

    1. The Mandalorian
      12 years, 9 days ago

      This

  13. Syd.
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Kompany unfortunate to get booked

    A few West Ham players fortunate not to be booked

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Wasn't even a foul let alone a yellow card for Kompany.

      1. Syd.
        12 years, 9 days ago

        I know very poor from the ref

      2. vanishing spray
        12 years, 9 days ago

        Excessive force is a good argument for it

  14. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Have City in my goal rush plus coupon.

    And Aguero captain.

    Two Kün goals would go down a treat.

  15. Lallana_
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Sub Dzeko off Pellegrini, my Aguero isn't happy.

  16. Make United Great Again
    12 years, 9 days ago

    City need to bring on Milner!! Take off Dzeko and let Silva play number 10

    1. MJ6987
      12 years, 9 days ago

      We can all see that. But can Pellegrini?

      1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        12 years, 9 days ago

        think navas is the priority to come off tbh

    2. Epic Fail
      12 years, 9 days ago

      I don't care what they do as long as it results in getting Kun (c) points;

    3. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Jovetic time, babyyyyy

      1. AlCapwnUK
        12 years, 9 days ago

        i prefer Jovetic, Aguero as a partnership. But hard to argue with the goals Dzeko gets

    4. chrisjdgrady
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Ya I don't get changing the formation that works so well lately

      1. Journeyguy
        12 years, 9 days ago

        Yea Milner for Navas/Dzeko.

    5. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 9 days ago

      This would be excellent.

      I think Dry Peanut would cry if it happened.

  17. Bøwstring The Carp
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Jovetic should always start ahead of dzeko imo.

    1. chrisjdgrady
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Yes but neither should start imo

  18. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Demichelis seriously hard done by.

  19. Prince of Persia
    12 years, 9 days ago

    West Ham coverage seems essential now. They are really good.

    1. Epic Fail
      12 years, 9 days ago

      True. You should cover 3 of their players.

    2. Kip
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Clyne => Cresswell GW12 for me

      1. Pinturicchio
        12 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah, I have this one planned.

  20. Owd Big 'Ed
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Collins next goal at 41/1. Quid on.

    Also quid on Sakho and Valencia.

    1. DRY PEANUT
      12 years, 9 days ago

      good luck, i'm with ya

  21. Canadian Football
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Don't worry lads. City to score at least 2 in second half.

    1. Pie-o-My
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Only if they bin Dzeko. Complete passenger.

  22. Ady87
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Steve Mc on BT sport had it spot on there. Look at the minutes and rotation between Clichy, Kolarov, Sagna, Mangala, Demichelis and Zabaleta. Especially the full backs playing 90 then 0, 90 then 0 constantly. Not doing their back line any good.

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Spot on. A defence needs to build a relationship.

    2. Clam. ☘️
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Need a solid back four to succeed in the PL. Eg. Chelsea's will start getting CS

    3. Dr Dream
      12 years, 9 days ago

      It never does. Rotation is a stupid idea that never works...it sounds good but find me any evidence that it actually does work..The old fashioned idea of a first Xl with the odd rest when needed trumps all of it.

  23. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 9 days ago

    It isn;t just that City are playing poorly.

    Dzeko has caused Kun to play deeper and Sam has put an extra in midfield to combat that

    Dzeko off should release Aguero to play higher up and break the shackles

  24. Van Klinkert Delarosa
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Is it true? During halftime Aguero take off his shirt and revealed the words on his inner shirt, "Haha to my all knee jerker".

    1. Epic Fail
      12 years, 9 days ago

      He swapped his shirt with a West Ham player too.

      1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        12 years, 9 days ago

        It was Sakho and his shirt had some words too, "I'll score brace and you knee jerker will drop Kun for me".

        1. Fitzy.
          12 years, 9 days ago

          First attempt at being funny was a fail, this one even more so. You should stop now.

          1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
            12 years, 9 days ago

            Knee jerker detected. :p

          2. Van Klinkert Delarosa
            12 years, 9 days ago

            Don't worry. I knee jerked for him too. 🙂

    2. The Finnisher
      12 years, 9 days ago

      That didn't happen.

    3. Pie-o-My
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Don't really think it's knee jerk for people to have brought Aguero in. He's the best striker in the league.

      1. xuwei
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 9 days ago

        Deja vu

      2. Fitzy.
        12 years, 9 days ago

        Spot on. It's only nuffs that are suggesting it is.

    4. Canadian Football
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 9 days ago

      It wasn't a knee jerk of you had him for his 38 pt haul.

      1. Pie-o-My
        12 years, 9 days ago

        I did. Still don't think it is that much of a knee jerk. People chase last weeks points all the time. Brining in a quality player is less of a knee jerk though.

  25. MJ6987
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Come on Pellegrini!

    Make Dry Peanut cry!

    Please don't make the rest of us cry...

    @JOA, do you remember our discussion earlier in the week about Berahino's ownership?

    1. The Finnisher
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Uhh, nope?

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 9 days ago

        ah well

        I think it was to do with him still being a differnential and I said i expected his ownership to double

        1. The Finnisher
          12 years, 9 days ago

          I remember reading it...think it was SuperDunny though! 🙂

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            12 years, 9 days ago

            maybe.

            Either way, it has doubled

            1. The Finnisher
              12 years, 9 days ago

              Hope his new owners are disappointed 😉

  27. A guy
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Made Welbeck(C) instead of Agüero in the last second, but was too late -.-

    1. Prince of Persia
