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

    Diego Costa must be going to anger management therapy and it's turning him into the best striker in the league.

    I've had Costa in my team in every game since week 4 but I'm looking at Aguero Captain fail.

    1. The Doc
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      I've had him for the whole season and never once captained him 🙁 Everyone else in my mini-league then drafted him in and handed over the armband, much to my annoyance!

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

    Costa yc please

  14. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 15 Years

    Stop it with playing the ball out. No one's dying! Let's have some goals!

  16. Dr Dream

    Not had Aguero for a few weeks....I'm getting away with murder.

    He's been brill today.

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      He has benn awful
      Should scored 3,4 goals

      1. The Doc
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 16 days ago

        It's not like he's missed the target though, is it? All of his shots have been blocked or saved...

  17. CABAYE4
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 16 days ago

    Otamendi and Stones just aren't good enough.

    City missing a fit Kompany so much this season.

  18. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 16 days ago

    Deeney and Austin
    To
    Anichebe and Costa (-4)

    Or just Kane to Costa?

  19. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I told someone that Costa would be a good captain differential this morning. Hope they went for it!

  20. Lallana_
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 16 days ago

    Would have brought in Costa weeks ago but that lingering suspension prevented me from doing so! Probably will get Hazard next week.

  21. Garlana
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 16 days ago

    A kun goal wouldn't make this a complete disaster as a non Costa owner....*crosses fingers*

  22. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Costa owners are going to be crashing back to ground very soon when he gets his elusive 5th YC

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

      Lol, haven't you worked it out yet?

    2. Flying Nugget
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      bench for one week and then back to points, lovely

    3. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      hahaha k

    4. some witty pun
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      yes, that must be the thing on the minds of Costa owners, isn't it?

    5. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      One game gone ain't no thang. Plus, with his relatively high price tag, he is easy to swap out for a week or whatever.

    6. StoneMountain
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      62 points (will probably be 65 after today) since Costa got his last yellow. I'll just leave that here...

    7. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      I got him for 9.6, he can sit on my bench for a week!

      1. MTPockets
          9 years, 16 days ago

          Ditto. Aguero suspension godsend.

    8. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      Can't be many active teams without Costa now - he's scoring and assisting week in week out.

    9. AC Tomasso
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      Need Haz to get more involved as well as Kun in the final mins!

    10. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      Allen benched!
      Noooooooo

    11. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      I do hope no one went through with Costa to Kane...

    12. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      Kun just doesn't do anything at home this year.

    13. niloh1
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      I thought aguero has been playing better than Costa in this game. Why are ppl switching aguero out

    14. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 16 days ago

      Allen or Zaha bench? they said Zaha f off

    15. makaveli123
