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

    Fabianski, Mendy, Davies and Ward on the bench. Not the best start to my wildcard from a defensive perspective!

  2. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights

    8 years, 6 months ago

    Right. We get it. Everyone did well. I’m only interested in hearing from anyone who had an absolute shocker to make myself feel better

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Early rough with the smooth required?

    2. Gt1996
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      22 Points pre baps with 6 players played? And that's without Alonso/Mendy in my squad...

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Lol how??

        1. Gt1996
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Bavies - 1
          Jones - 6
          Eriksen - 7
          Mkhi - 3
          T Carroll (Autosub because of no Jesus) - 2
          Lukaku - 5

          So actually 24 because I forgot about Carrolls points but still a shocker.

          Took a crazy turn and gave Kolasinac the armband this week so will see how that goes

          Got Kola (C), Elliot, Ritchi, Gross and Firmino to play :/

    3. Sponge-worthy

      I'd like to help but I can't.. What's your score?

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        40 pre baps, 5 lemons to play. Main issue is lad above me in ML on 70 and the one below captained Sane

    4. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Haha me too, see above, also no Kane or Morata. Need Vardy, Ritchie, Ramsey & Kola to deliver or I'm gonna drop at least a million places!

    5. Infamy, Infamy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Captained Mendy

  3. Essan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Got rid of KDB and Kaku on my WC, brought in Silva and Kun. Swapped Yoshi for Jones. Kept Eriksen and Morata. Happy with that.

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Fascinating

    2. Foozeball
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Humble brag 😉

  4. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Of Lukaku, Morata, Aguero and Kane.....

    Lukaku looks the most droppable after next week until United's fixtures improve again, at which point I suspect Aguero will look more droppable due to his higher rotation risk.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Luk > Aguero after palace game is an option

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Of course Jesus could still be a viable alternative to Kun as well.

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Don't think I'll be dropping. It would be akin to dropping Costa 1st half of last season - so far. Looking at pool & city, anyone can score from week to week. Actually thinking of taking on Morarta - hattie aside, but got my attention 🙂

  5. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Btw, those who have Cho-Moting, KEEP HIM. He was instrumental today and very threatening, and will haul vs Southampton

    1. weaver93
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      for 5.5.m Midfielder..and playing up front - bargain..

  6. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Not sure how to feel...

    Took out Alli and Morata for Aguero (C) & Sterling!

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I raise you Kane and Morata for Kun and Lukaku -4!

      I obviously should have just done Kane to Aguero...but even that would have been a fail.

  7. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Bring Morata for Jrod. Finally, my 3rd striker do score some goals.

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      West Brom haven’t played yet.

  8. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    67 points post baps with no Spurs attackers at all!

    Anything is possible kids

  9. Dr. DOOM
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    What to do with Alonso now?
    Has been very bad tbh

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Azpi?

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      He'll calm down next week, he'll be fine.

  10. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Kun to keep the 2 Baps?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      no

  11. IL Fantasista
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    What happened to Mendy? Injury?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah

  12. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Silva or Sterling?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      the one who runs City right now

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Pep?

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Silva, more nailed, set pieces

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Sterling seems to be nailed. Has started his last 3 games

  13. NestorC
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Just saw Alonso didnt make it, what happened?

    1. Gt1996
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      1 Point for starting
      -1 for YC
      0 Points for playing 60+ because he got subbed in the 59th, which also made him ineligible for CS points

      1. Ode
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I think he meant why he didn't play longer

        1. NestorC
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          yeah

      2. NestorC
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        injury or he played bad?

  14. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Serious haul from De Bruyne

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      City score 16 goals in 3 FPL games... KDB gets 3 assists... not what'd you'd want from 10.0m alright!

  15. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Niasse 5.0 only! SO CHEAP!!

    1. The Hobbit
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Calwert-Lewins is also 5.0 and I think he is still the best enabler. Looked good today, very lively. Niasse wont score every week and will come off the bench every game, I dont see him starting.

  16. Harry (C)ane
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    54 with 2 to play. Looks like I'm gonna be below average this week.

  17. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Anybody else do terribly? Kane (C), Alli. Had Jesus, Mendy, Davies.

    35 points right now.

    1. Ode
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      31 points, everything went well until Alonso went off

    2. Gt1996
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      29 Points POST baps :))))))))

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Wow, its like an optical illusion. Closer to 45+ but still!

    4. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Mendy, Alonso and Davies...

    5. Alex_thekid
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      24 with 5 left to play but Jesus c to lukaku vc and sub 2 yoshi no Kane Morata Aguero shit week or and + -4

  18. stachman
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Have the exact cash to do Mahrez, Firmino -> Kun, Gross, but for a hit... Should I consider?

    1. Saint Channon
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't get rid of Mahrez,fixtures about turn.

    1. bigwig
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Bravo

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        😆

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Below the belt 🙁

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Everyone knew that.

      Didn't you also bring in Mendy (-4) to cover Aguero?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Let's just gloss over that part 😉

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          🙂

  19. bigwig
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Willian and De Bruyne get out of my team

  20. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Who would you rather have guys?

    A) Kane + Ritchie + Azpi

    B) Aguero + Atsu + Alonso

    1. Udo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      at the moment A, but before kick-off today B, though one!

  21. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    At least it's literally impossible to fit Lukaku, Kane, Aguero & Morata into same team. Lots of points hits will be taken by casuals chasing the previous week's biggest scorer from those four.

    Smart money is on Haz instead of Morata along with the KaneKakuKun up front imo.

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Think I'll play the fixtures and do Luk-Morata after int. break. Can see a few 1-0 for man united

      1. Bellerinmondo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Luk > Morata

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Nah, dropping Lukaku for United's tough run makes more sense to me.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yep after Lukaku plays Palace, Morata does....

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Haz will be supplying Morata though.

    4. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure. Until today Morata seemed to be limited with a head and no feet, but now I can see he's got legs too I'm keeping him.

  22. Business Cat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Just saw Francis carrying out vigilante justice on Rooney. Blood everywhere!

    Well done that man 😎

  23. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Bloody hell that was a good 76 with Salah & Elliot to come

  24. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    How did Choupo-M look today? Looks like he still got a few shots in. Anyone watch the game?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      yep, watched the whole game. Very dangerous and Stoke looked very fluid in attack, defo keeping

      1. Bellerinmondo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        good to hear, cheers

  25. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Prices are going to stay still this week with everyone getting points

  26. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    If you own both Alonso and Mendy and have 2ft would you get rid of them both and for who? Thinking I should save the money for elsewhere

    1. bigwig
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Mendy's injured so start there, if lon term then Danilo is bargs

      1. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Danilo doesn’t play that often though.

        1. bigwig
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          What I meant was Danilo comes in for Mendy, so if Mendy's injury is longeterm then he's an option

    2. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking Mendy for Monreal.

    3. Ode
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Alonso will score 2 against City if you get rid of him

    4. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I've got both - providing Mendy is okay I'm keeping them.

  27. HD7
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Do we now:
    A) change back Kun to Kaku and C him vs Palace or
    B) we keep Kun and C Kane vs Huddersfield

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      You've got to cap Kak v Palace. Hudd are tight; Kane not essential.

  28. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Any idea about the average till now?

  29. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Was very happy with my 56 then came on here to see 60s and 70s flying around
