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

    At least I get Zanka off the bench for Jesus. But still mad I missed those CS points by a minute when I'm pretty much the only one with Alonso in my ML

    Looks like everyone happy, those who bought Aguero and those that didnt

      Depends who you bought Aguero for really. If I had sold Kane or Lukaku for him I'd probably be quite disappointed, especially looking at next week's fixtures.....

        8 years, 6 months ago

        I actually sold Lukaku for Jesus.

        Kaku 7 points
        Jesus 0
        but first sub Abraham 8

        so I jammily end up ahead!

    4. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years

      I kept Kane. Is good..

    5. The Wizard of Ozil

      Yeh happy here without. Kane captain.

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

      Today was just about Kane and Lukaku not losing to him by too much. Next week should be a big win for the Kane/Kaku combo

    7. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      And those who chose Kane, Aguero and Morata on a wildcard.....

  3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

    Mooy is a dead weight in my team.

    6.1 to place him, already have Ritchie

    Mooy to ......

      Niasse.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years

        Midfielder needed

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      It's a tricky price range...Consider Richarlison, C. Moting, Xhaka, Brady, Shaqiri.

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

      Richarlison easily

    4. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Joselu

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years

        He's a forward.

  6. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Scored three with his head. Haters said he can only score with his head. So he scored three with his feet in a single match to shut them up. Main man. Proper Alpha.

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

      proper beast, has everything to his game. Only negative was he did miss and open goal today 😆

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      In refernece to Morata

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

      Yep, I think going back to Morata to replace Lukaku after Palace is on the cards.

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

      He is a good good player. Still think Haz will overshadow him when he gets back though, which is just as well as he doesn't take up a precious striker slot but still benefits from .Morata goals & assists

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

        Hazard is unselfish, perfect player to link up with Morata

    5. Crouching Tiger
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Hard to find room for him with Lukaku, Aguero and Kane also scoring.

  7. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    My previous Gameweek 5 team outscoring my Wildcard team by 6 points so far. Sold Firmino and got Salah so will see how that goes.

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

    Kun being rested midweek would be ideal 😀

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years

      I think he might b

  9. Twelve years a slave

    Luckiest owners of the week Danilo
    Unluckiest Alonso and Mendy

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

      Jesus(c) Morata(vc) are far far FAR luckier!

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

      Jesus not getting even a minute pretty unlucky too. Those thinking he wouldn't start surely thought he'd see some time

    3. KUN+10
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Mendy and Alonso owner here!! Rise!!!

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

        Me, with Davies too to complete 1 point between the three 🙁

    4. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Probably a lot of people who got in Rooney as well for Evertons run. That's gotta be unlucky.

    5. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I'm fuming about Mendy n Alonso

  10. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Luka captain over Morata cost me 10 points 🙁

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

      Looked a good call after Stokes performances at home to ManU and Arsenal. Wouldn't kick yourself too much

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

      Could've captained Morata over Agüero though I don't think I ever even considered it

    3. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Just be glad you have morata

  11. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Not too bad then in the end between captaining Aguero over Kane, only a couple of points in it with Aguero bonus 2.

    Good day as a Kane, Kun and Kaku owner though 🙂

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

      Just imagine my day as a Kane, Morata and Aguero owner! lol

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years

        Awesome!! Kaku has Palace next though....

    Why is Britos suddenly at -133.7 (dropping tonight) ??

  14. Reckoner.
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Will hold off the knee jerk for now but very tempted by:

    Mendy, Firmino, Jesus > 4.0, Aguero, Morata

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

    smooth - got 3 players playing tomorrow to look forward to

    rough - I own 3 Newcastle players

  16. Mishon
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Doing a Kaku to Kun worked out ok.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kaku has Palace next...

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

        Will bring him in for Kun pending the Europa league game.

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

        They'll make hard work of it after a trip to Russia.

        Screenshot this.

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

          Could very well be that. City had a tough time breaking Palace in the first half. Btw, RLC looked good. I would def. consider playing him after next GW.

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

            With Benteke out, RLC could become even more important for them.

  17. Mark-O
    • 10 Years

    Kane always score more than Lukaku and Kun when I didn't captain Kane

    FML

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

      Tell me when you're not cap him.

  18. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years

    Salah and Phil Jones have been my mvps this season

  19. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Fair play to Oumar Niasse.

    Was told to do one by Koeman. Went to away games with the fans when not selected in the squad.

    Comes back when Everton are desperate. Gives 110%, scores his first goals.

  20. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Oumar Niasse (EVE) was the ultimate differential this GW. Two goals and not owned by a single player. #FPL

    Get on the wagon fellas, we making mad money.

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

      Niasse doesn't have a jersey number in FPL

    Anyone else eyeing Morata after next GW? Next three fixtures after City look tasty

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years

      yup

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years

      ofc, for Kane

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

        Kaku I reckon

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

      Kun and Kane for me, if going 4-3-3 he looks the ideal third striker pick

      Me

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Haz

    6. Fred54

      Yep, will have to oddly get him back for Palace game onwards.

    7. THFC4LIFE

    We are all a bunch of hypocrites sometimes. We call the Spanish league boring because Barcelona keep destroying teams, yet we go crazy about Man City when they do the same.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Goal difference in La Liga doesn't mean a thing. GD in PL means a lot.

    Guys, how could I bring a Chelsea player into this team?

    Foster
    Cedric Jones Davies
    Atsu Mkhi Eriksen Salah
    Kane Lukaku Chicharito
    (Elliot Fernandez Mbemba Carroll)

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

      Kane to Morata

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

        which could allow Mkhi to Hazard

  24. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    64 from 5. Brilliant Gw

  25. Freddo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Phil Jones outscored Lukaku.

    Just want to leave that here.

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

      Phil Jones is a damn fine FPL pick.

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

      Jones is proving some value. The masses may jump on board now & get a few price rises

    3. Business Cat

  28. Rafiki
    • 15 Years

    Not sure how to feel, have Morata, Eriksen and Kane (C) but backline has Davies, Jones, Mendy, Alonso and Naughton

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years

      Mendy n Alonso trolled so hard. I'm so annoyed

  29. Sponge-worthy
    • 13 Years

    Richarlison must have taken his shirt off?? 1 point lost there.

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

    Richarlison Shaqiri Cho-Moting. All should score 150+ this year
