Gameweek 14 gets up and running this Saturday lunchtime as Manchester City entertain Chelsea at the Etihad.

This sees the two most popular forwards in Fantasy Premier League, Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa, go head-to-head, with the Argentine looking to improve a record that has seen him score just twice in front of his own supporters to date.

He faces a tough task, though, considering that the visitors have conceded once in the last seven rounds of fixtures.

Costa, meanwhile, has scored in all but one of his away appearances and rolls up as the most consistent player in FPL, with returns in 11 of the first 13 Gameweeks.

The top scoring player in FPL, Eden Hazard has toiled on his travels, scoring just one of his seven strikes outside of Stamford Bridge.

Benched away to Burnley last time around, there’s no surprise to see Kevin De Bruyne return to the City first XI as Pep Guardiola looks for the win that would leapfrog the visitors into first.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Deserved lead for City. No idea what Cahill was even trying to do with his karate kick.

        Couldn't agree more!!

      Apologies if this has been mentioned already but Ville Rönkä made one transfer in GW13 therefore only had one free transfer this week. Yet he seems to have made 2 transfers for free? Special rules or just plain cheating 🙂

        1. PvA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 16 days ago

          Oh he had 1 saved from before lol

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 16 days ago

            When did the rule change that you can carry the free transfer? Please tell me it's new this season and not been this way for years 🙁

            1. MTPockets
                9 years, 16 days ago

                Oh dear

                To clarify, I know if you don't make a transfer you get the 2 the following week, but it used to be that if you made one free when you had two you lost that free transfer?

                1. Hooky
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 16 days ago

                  Nope. You wrong dude

                    I don't recall that ever being the case. Certainly not a new rule.

              Maybe because he didn't make any in 12???

          5. AndyCook
              9 years, 16 days ago

              Had two frees, made one and saved one, then got another one so had two frees. Made two transfers. Very simple.

                No.

                I also do not know who the hell he/she is or why on earth people on here are that interested in what he/she does or doesn't do with his/her fantasy team.

                  Good. Glad im not alone. Cant belive how much people worship/hate on him. He's ridiculously irrelevant to anything

                    You've just made two posts about him though.

                      Lol yer this is maybe how it gets you. Just a bit confused with the obsession. Each to own though. Make this a 3rd lol

                    You definitely are not alone.

                    I have enough problems with my own team as it is without comparing it to anyone else's and feeling even more inferior!

                9 years, 16 days ago

                He's the Keyser Söze of FPL to many mate... a fantastic enigma.

                But I agree, seems he plays the game in a very dull way.

                  9 years, 16 days ago

                  If he was in my ml ..id care a lot more though. Glad he isnt to be fair

                    No arguments about his record, it's brilliant. But playing the game that way isn't for me. I think Jonty had realised the same this season judging by the Scoutcast.

              Are you serious? He had 2 transfers last week, then only used 1. Obv. he can use 2 for this gw.

              I know I should let it go but after a some googling it appears I was still playing by 09/10 seasons rules 🙁

              The rule came in in 09/10 season to allow carrying over the unused free transfer but it wasn't until the following year that the rule changed to the way it is now. You did go back to 1 FT the next GW if you only used 1 when you had 2 saved.

              I'm posting the link below as my irrefutable proof!

            Surely Cahill should have tried to hit that with his left...

              I am sure Conte is spiting that point into his ear as we speak

              The thing is those come at a blistering pace. Not really time to consider the best course of action. You react.

                • 14 Years
                9 years, 16 days ago

                Don't agree, the way that came to him, it was to his left, he had to actually decide to kick it with his right see the way he contorted his body? That was a decision not a reaction, makes it even worse.

            Called it earlier in the week. Conte shouldn't be playing 3-4-3 in this game. Navas and Sane looked obvious picks for City with the space provided by that formation.

            Conte is probably the best technical manger around. You would expect him to change the system a bit and come back with a bit more

              Assisted an offside goal and Aguero missed a sitter from one of his crosses as well.

                  now you're following my point
                  kdb is playing wonderfully
                  I expect listening while doing a hard double shift driving the bus you might just be interested in the fantasy points tho?

            This scoreline is the perfect setup for a Costa yellow!

                I didn't expect Kane or Sanchez to be that high tbh. Aguero would have been a straight winner 12 months ago against anybody....including this Chelsea side.

              I thought the Budweiser one was pretty funny too

            Not sure it is the system as much as the player. If Matic is on the pitch I think it is a very different half.

            Swansea stuck in traffic, possible kick-off delay.

              Swansea team stuck in traffic apparently (radio 5).

              Hope Cahill scores for Chelsea in this half. I'm very disappointed at the moment.
