After Spurs edged past West Ham at the London Stadium, there are six 3pm encounters to keep up ticking over this Saturday.

All eyes turn to the Etihad as Sergio Aguero and co welcome basement-dwellers Crystal Palace.

Transferred in by over 784,000 FPL managers last week, the Argentine has been captained by 18.5% – the second top pick for the Gameweek.

Gabriel Jesus owners are left frustrated, though, as he drops to the bench for the first time this season.

Aguero is still a less popular armband option than Romelu Lukaku (26.9%), who is again the number one choice for Man United’s trip to Southampton.

The Belgian has scored in both away appearances for the Red Devils, though has returned no more than six points on each occasion.

Chelsea’s Alvaro Morata is another big-hitter option. Up against Stoke’s patched up defence, the Spaniard looks to improve upon his run of three goals and two assists – just 3.2% have backed him with the armband.

Meanwhile, we’re looking for signs of form from both Everton and Swansea this weekend as they prepare for a super run of fixtures.

The Toffees entertain Bournemouth at Goodison, while Swansea welcome Watford to the Liberty.

And Burnley’s Chris Wood has another audition as our third striker option as Huddersfield make their way to Turf Moor. The summer signing has bagged three goals in four outings across all competitions since arriving from Leeds United.

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

    Mendy was only city cover. So it’s either: (2 FT)

    Mendy - Walker

    Or

    Mendy - Valencia/Azpu (Have DDG/Hazard as cover) and Mhiki to Silva

    Opinions would be greatly appreciated 🙂

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Or Mendy is fine and you keep him. For me it's probably an Everton defender.

    2. Lovren an elevator
      • 11 Years

      Walker is solid

  2. TheBusDriver

    Aguero is so useless. I don't know why I bought him.

      Your usual template

      You chased last week's points. That's why.

      The striker with the best goals per minute in EPL and you say this? You're playing fantasy here but they are toiling in reality. Relax and stop chasing points. Anyway you've 45 minutes... More than enough time for kun to get a hattrick.

    chicharito likely to drop soon? could be a steal

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years

      What percentage is he on?

    2. markmcr
      • 11 Years

      Won't drop after he's just scored

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 10 Years

      Won't drop after his goal today

    With Kun playing v Chelsea next..

    How many will reverse the transfer from Kun to Kane tonight????????

    1. markmcr
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Not me cause I never trusted Peppers in the first place

      1. weaver93
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        same here Mark... I stuck with Kane..

        1. markmcr
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Likewise, enjoy the points 😉

    2. Delph & Safety
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      I fancy Kün to score v Chelsea and in his next few GWs

    3. goonerdoz
      • 12 Years

      Not me, cos I got both.

    4. LǝgleSs e|even

      Get Morata imo..

  5. Cok3y5murf

    Wasted money on a couch for Kun

    1. fishnil

      You're killing it... But it may still come to use, 45 mins left

    Bemba Da, are you a human broken record?

  7. GoonerByron
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Come on Aguero... This Lukaku -> Aguero transfer has me hiding behind the sofa, especially as I would have captained Kane if I hadn’t got Aguero!

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years

      This

    2. Delph & Safety
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Same here let's hope for more goals at the ethiad.

  8. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Jesus on could actually help Kun score.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      more so if he replaces Kun 😉

      1. McNulty
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        That doesn't make any sense...

        1. The Royal Robin
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Why doesn't it? If Jesus replaces someone else, and partners Kun they are lethal together. Look at the Watford game.

    2. Delph & Safety
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Yeah Jesus has that spark and his partnership with aguero has been brilliant. I think they could really trouble Palace if he comes on.

    Gotta say Chelsea look pretty poor. Being outplayed by Stoke

    1. markmcr
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Lol good one

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        you watching the game mate? Chelsea literally just scored with their two chances, both of which were mistakes from Stoke players

        1. markmcr
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          So how is that being outplayed lmao, Stoke are shite

          1. F4L
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            Chelsea cant get hold of the ball

            1. markmcr
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 day ago

              That's what their formation does tho, sit back and counter. It upsets people but can't say it isn't effective

              1. F4L
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 1 day ago

                I agree. Good away performance. Maybe I mis worded it, more meant that the scoreline was very flattering towards Chelsea

        2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

          This is true(Chelsea fan)

            I'm a fan too but they aren't being outplayed haha

            Or long balls over the top...

  10. FantasyFootballSprout

    Would love it if Aguero blanked so Bemba would quit FPL

  11. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Kane scored 2, Lukaku and Morata both scored and I have got Aguero (C), Jesus on the bench, doubtful Vardy, injured Mendy and Davies with 1 point.

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      FPL? More like FML.

    2. markmcr

      Always next week

    3. Neevesy

      Always next year

  12. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Well this has been a bit of a let down for fellow Kun backers. Hopefully Pep gives him 90 mins

  13. Sánchez
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    City have Shakhtar and Chelsea this week coming. A wise manager would ensure his top men are fresh for those tough games. Don't go giving them 90 minutes Pep 😉

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      maybe Pep wants to bench Kun against Shaktar 😛

    Anybody know how bad the Mendy injury is?

    1. markmcr
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      It literally just happened, even Mendy doesn't know

      1. FrankieTheGent
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Cheers. So it's not like he's obviously broken in two.
        Zero points against palace is tough to take

  15. @persecuted_by_mods
    9 years, 1 day ago

    What do you get out of these stupid Kun posts, there's a whole half left. I know it's a fantasy forum for discussion but some of these posts have nothing to do with discussion just trying to annoy people

    And no I don't own Aguero

    1. HamezMace
      • 12 Years

      Have a +1

  16. The Mandalorian

    Pep just saying they score more with 2 forwards then he doesn't play Jesus

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      I'm getting rid now, last straw in my opinion. Straight swap to Morata with money left over is a no brainer for me now.

    Should teams like Burnley & Huddersfield be allowed to play football, let alone allowed in the PL?

      You call that playing football?

    what happened to Mendy?

    1. Neevesy
      • 10 Years

      He will hopefully be on the 'Mendy' soon....sorry

            • 10 Years

            Willian will drop out. Pedro should keep PL place

    Maguire or Cresswell for the next 5?
    Did Cresswell look dangerous at all in the wing-back position?

      i was originally thinking cresswell but reid looks like he might be better bet

    You win some, you lose some. No players score every week. Sometimes a lot of your players score in the same week, sometimes none of them do. Thats football.

      Lukaku scores almost every week. Its hard to believe people were ditching him for Kun.

  24. harrydavies14
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Pogba > Silva was a fantastic move.

    Stuck with Kane as (C) - crazy people would think of ditching him because of Aguero's hatty last week.

  25. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    This week proves to me that I should stick to my boring/risk free transfers. Been ticking along decently so far with it...

    But just like last season, this doesn't work for me.

  26. Forza Papac

      Need a piss.

  27. Neevesy

    Finally seem to be having a good week. Kane captain, Kaku, Silva, Pickford (come on!!) Just need bobby to score a couple

  28. CloudSky
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Can see the template forming.

    2 big hitters + Morata + Salah + Silva + one big hitter in defense and whatever the money gets you for the rest of the team.

  29. TOBY1
    • 9 Years

    Sane's goal was impressive

    1. Delph & Safety
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Very and it's exactly what city needed to unlock the palace back 6. Individual quality.

  30. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Will Kun even get 90 mins?

    1. Own Goal
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      No.

    2. FPL Kangaroo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Nope. Jesus will replace him soon and score a brace.

    3. Delph & Safety
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      I don't think he will get 90 mins but it depends on the score/performance/injuries/redcard

      We cannot write him off yet.
