Saturday moves on to present us with a healthy batch of five afternoon kick-offs, with the top two owned Fantasy Premier League assets in action.

Both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Sergio Aguero are both backed by 18% of the captaincy share in Gameweek 10 – the pair are in dire need of a reversal of fortunes.

Ibrahimovic takes on Burnley at Old Trafford without a goal in five Gameweeks, having shed almost a million owners since his last strike.

Aguero’s struggles aren’t as prolonged but, nonetheless, there are real concerns on the value he now offers. He travels to an unforgiving Hawthorns having notched just two points over his last three Gameweeks.

Elsewhere, Spurs host champions Leicester City at White Hart Lane and Middlesbrough take on Bournemouth at the Riverside.

Finally, there is a good deal of Fantasy interest focused on Vicarage Road as Watford welcome a struggling Hull City. Much is expected of Troy Deeney, Etienne Capoue and Jose Holebas in that clash.

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

    That 2nd Kun goal has the hallmarks of the Newcastle performance. Just prods the ball a bit to make space, and boom.

      he almost broke the net

      He's just a lovely man isn't he

        It's more miraculous than that!

    CAPUE ON 3 BONUS! KEEP IT UP, ETIENNE!

    Heaton on 7 saves. Such a legend!

    Wondered why the action had dried up. Its HT. 😕

      The conspiracy :O

  7. Danstoke82

    Repost;
    Son + C.Wilson > Coutinho + Okazaki?

    Can just afford it and will play 3-5-2.

    Current team;

    Heaton
    Koscielny Lovren Holebas
    Sanchez Firmino Son Walcott
    Aguero Lukaku C.Wilson

    Subs; Pickford Allen Amat MWilson

    1. InSaneMan-e
      10 years, 9 days ago

      People don't like to comment on team changes during game time, that's probably why need to repost.
      anyways, why okazaki? he's not good fantasy wise

      1. Danstoke82
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Fair enough.

        Selling Son > Coutinho gives me 5.7 available. Okazaki is realistically the only striker I can find at that price who starts other than Stuani

    I hope the image in the header mean that's it for Aguero! 😉

      Waaaaay

    Big up to Your Mum's Athletic!!

    Swayed me to captain Sanchez. Nice one mate!

    1. Fred54

      Any pics?

  11. HurriKane

    South American flair dominating today(Alexis Kun)

    A haul from brazilian duo Cout and/or Firmino would put icing on the cake 😉

    1. itwaswritten
      10 years, 9 days ago

      REAL TALENT always wins in the end.

  12. Moin

    Both Aguero goals were Classic Aguero Goals!

  13. woody3260
    10 years, 9 days ago

    You can all thank me for switching the armband from kun to lukaku at 11:25

  14. The Gambler.
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Hopefully Pep takes Kun off soon

  15. Stats Don\'t Lie
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Realllllllly need a performance from coutinho and lukaku.

    I've just noticed that the BPS goal points rewards forwards more than mids, then defenders get even less. Bit weird that this is the reverse of the standard scoring. I looked because I was confused as to how Giroud got more bonus than Sanchez despite playing much less of the game.

    1. 42towels
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I believe that's because BPS rewards players for doing 'their job' while normal points gives more weight to rarer events.

    2. Ziro
      10 years, 9 days ago

      The intention of the bps system is to equalise the points awards to players. Hence reverse of FPL points.

      1. Ziro
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Rewards mids for mid-things done well, and forwards for forwardy-things

        1. DeadStarComing
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 9 days ago

          I see. Thanks both.

  17. Jay_

    What's the most amount of saves made in a sinlgle game by a single keeper in the PL?

    1. Wouter
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Not sure, but Krul vs Spurs a few seasons back is the craziest performance I've ever seen.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Lovely guy that Tim Krul

      2. tisza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 9 days ago

        had about 14/15 saves that game.

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Tim Krul 14 Saves

      1. Jay_
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Yep brief Google search shows Krul 14 as record in 2013. Doubt it's been beat since.

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Probably Mannone. 12 iirc.

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Didn't myhill have like 11 vs mcy last year?
      Also krul vs spurs that one time?

    5. Doylaz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Robert Green at the Emirates when West Ham won 1-0? The best goalkeeping performance I've ever seen, he was unbelievable that day.

    6. Let-me-tiger-you
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Fabianski last year at Spurs was insane. Myhill at United two years ago also.

  18. Wouter
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Everyone talking about Kun and I'm just hoping Leicester score. 😆

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      10 years, 9 days ago

      As a spurs fan and 2 1 win would be great and Walker yellow

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Please not this...

  19. tm245
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Great goal by Gaston.

  20. Bolivian Seaman
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Can stones get that elusive cleansheet? Would've been nice if he scored as well

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      10 years, 9 days ago

      He should have scored. Missed from about 6 yard

    2. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 9 days ago

      hope not

    3. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      After being 2-0 down, I think WBA will attack a bit now...

    4. Jay_
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I've benched the bugger

    5. Sánchez
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I have Stones and Chadli so if he gets subbed off at 80 mins with CS then Chadli scores, thats perfect

  21. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Deeney is a total air thief isn't he

  22. Zombie
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Aguero fell couple of days ago 😆

    So people will be taking hits to bring in Aguero and Sanchez. Lovely!

    1. Ziro
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Will enjoy the rises. 😎

    2. HurriKane
      10 years, 9 days ago

      and ibra will be the main source of funding

    3. Danstoke82
      10 years, 9 days ago

      The least they deserve for selling Kun.

      Madness.

  23. HurriKane
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Damn it Valencia. looks like id be denied another deserved cs for two gws's in a row (Amat last week)

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Swans would not have kept CS if Amat played

  24. EmreCan Hustle
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Wouldn't mind Watford vs Hull being 0-0. Marshall and Holebas.

  25. sminkypinky
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Really need Stuani to come on and do something. Likely or not that he'll come on?

  26. Danstoke82
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Really wish Son would do something. He's been a complete waste of a transfer for me.

  27. NATSTER
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Thinking about doubling Kün & Gün.

    He's not playing deep.

  28. Gazzpfc
    10 years, 9 days ago

    All those that got rid of aguerro... hope countinho and firmino do nowt before i put them in

  29. Arceus

    Aguero Essential.

    The Hull uniform is a little bit of lipstick on a pig.
