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.

  4. OPTA FPL

    wtf is that zabaleta, he tackle Hart

  5. Heels_Over_Head

    Amalfiwagon

    Gosh, smack anyone who talks into you that...

    I talked two people into it last year and still feel guilty

  6. John Obi Wan Mikel

    Everyone still think Aguero will score? :L

  7. The Finnisher

    Do we really have to wait for Dzeko for another midfielder to be subbed for Man City to play good?

    Pellegrini better off sticking with Kun up front on his own every game.

    1. The Finnisher
      12 years, 9 days ago

      For Dzeko to be subbed for another midfielder*

    2. timski8000
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Needs Dzeko in there to handle the big guys in the WH defence. Spurs don't play that way.

    West Ham fans singing "we're gonna win the league"

    Lads I sung that for months last season then we slipped

      they are joking tho

      1. Solenya

        So was he 😉

    2. Moin

      They know they have a better chance than Liverpool at least

    3. The Finnisher
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Yeah but you believed it

      1. Davido989
        12 years, 9 days ago

        you're too seriously, Blimey

    Who has a City defender, not many.

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

      Shocking how low the total ownership of city players.

      Kun 25%
      Kompany 15 %
      Silva 10 %

      That's about it

    2. XhakaCan
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Many preferring Southampton/Chelsea/Everton defenders, although there is little change in Man City's defensive options compared to last season.

  10. Rambo Motin
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Russell Brand is in the crowd 😀

    1. DRY PEANUT

      poncing around

    2. Heels_Over_Head

      who is he dating these days?

      1. Heels_Over_Head

        (I'm a journalist, this is bizarrely a work-related question)

      2. Rambo Motin
        12 years, 9 days ago

        Not sure 😀 Though I do love his Trews News show

  11. Journeyguy

    This game gonna be tough for city now...

  12. FISSH
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Song is so good.

  13. Gimli son of Gloin
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Prefer Aguero up top alone, understandable he can't play with that intensity every week though.
    Best West Ham team I can remember also.

    1. FISSH
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Yea Alex song makes a huge difference. And the two strikers are so fast

      1. Gimli son of Gloin
        12 years, 9 days ago

        Also the option to mix it up if things aren't going well with the Carroll / Nolan option.
        Difficult for defences to prepare for 2 types of attack like that every game

  14. AlCapwnUK
    12 years, 9 days ago

    the big clubs have been fairly dysmal with defending this season. Arsenal and Everton much worse than last season, City still shaky, Chelsea not keeping cleanies, Liverpool still laughable, United an injury ridden shambles.

    Envious of those who got Clyne AND Bertrand early

  15. Heels_Over_Head
    12 years, 9 days ago

    When without TV access, its always nice to read about goals on BBC Sports "live feed" 5 minutes after I read about them here 😉

    1. VougieDipond

      lol

  16. SuperMario

    Great for Aguero owners....

    City will be on the ultimate attack!!

  17. timski8000
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Amazing burst of power and pace from Valencia - are city a bit leggy after Europe?

  18. DRY PEANUT
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Edin so close

  19. Revival

    Love an early goal, city have to go all out attack now

  20. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…

  21. OPTA FPL

    1. Heels_Over_Head

    2. Solenya
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Aguero(c) fail

  23. mitro

    should be a drinking game for cliches

  24. rohan
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Song pass that leads to a goal against the champions. Doosra tears of joy

  25. Journeyguy
    12 years, 9 days ago

    any1 think Arsenal can keep a cleany today?

    1. OPTA FPL
      12 years, 9 days ago

      no

    2. DRY PEANUT
      12 years, 9 days ago

      yes

  26. lifes a pitch
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Zaba's tackle on hart was pure excellence

  27. mattyrobinson
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Yaya Toure is ridiculously overhyped. He's so average in 75% of games

    1. Davido989
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Lol

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hmmm , number one reason for the title win last year.

      1. mattyrobinson
        12 years, 9 days ago

        He's getting bossed around by Mark Noble today...

      2. JedJez
        12 years, 9 days ago

        He and Kompany are the spine of the team. An unrivalled spine in the PL in my view, and I don't really like city

    3. Robbens Diving Instructor
      12 years, 9 days ago

      as is kompany

      1. JedJez
        12 years, 9 days ago

        haha not watching the game though, and it sounds as though my last post has some evidence against it :s

    4. The Finnisher
      12 years, 9 days ago

      True

  28. BobbyV
    12 years, 9 days ago

    That City away kit is a thing of beauty!

    1. VougieDipond
      12 years, 9 days ago

      City are only half the team when Milner's work rate is left out. Apart from Silva and Aguero the rest are stiff and slow

      1. VougieDipond
        12 years, 9 days ago

        post fail

  29. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Is Tomkins on the bench?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      12 years, 9 days ago

      Not in squad.

      1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        12 years, 9 days ago

        cheers.

    2. Give The Todd Some Love
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Nah still injured

  30. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Silva is poor

    1. Jax
      12 years, 9 days ago

      his wage says otherwise
