Saturday afternoon continues with a quintet of fixtures to entertain us before Everton square up to Chelsea later on. For many, the main focal point will be at the Etihad as we look to see whether Sergio Aguero will be let off the leash against Stoke, with Stevan Jovetic’s owners anticipating another home brace from the Montenegro striker.

Newcastle have been heavily backed in this week’s Scout Picks and we’ll be hoping to see new boy Siem de Jong justify our show of faith ahead of a very kind run of fixtures. Fantasy managers will also get to run the rule over Palace’s potential in the St James’ Park encounter as Neil Warnock takes the helm for a second time.

Elsewhere, Fantasy favourites such as Steven Caulker will be hoping to make an impact at home to Sunderland, while Gylfi Sigurdsson’s growing band of owners are expecting returns for the third Gameweek in succession as Swansea prepare for the visit of West Brom. West Ham welcome Southampton to Upton Park as Big Sam pins his hopes on Mauro Zarate to inspire his side to another win.

You can look to out Twitter feed for all the lineup from today’s matches.

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

    2. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      90th min OG coming up to wipe out the QPR CS no doubt

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

    1. Wilshere Knowledge

    2. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      haha bigger regret now.

    3. Licky
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      RCA went with Colo too, I jokingly suggested Janmaat, but at 5.0 he is a risk and not many can afford it.

    4. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      At least you have 0.5m

    5. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I was debating whether to get Janmaat, Coloccini, or Dummett. Went straight down the middle. I guess it could have been worse.

      1. Lallana_
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        There's always a silver lining! (Now score Coloccini)

    6. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Shirley it still depends on the future trannie

  6. Woy
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hows QPR/Caulker?

    1. QPR Lad 92
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      will we ever score

    2. QPR Lad 92
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      caulker just had a chance

    3. Zombie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      just headed wide

      1. Woy
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        So he's maintaining his 'I'm going to tease you' play

    4. Woy
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I ALMOST (C) him, but I just spent the last 90 mins with my eyes on DDG, didn't fancy that so I'm glad I put it on Ramsey... but I'd love a goal or at least a cleanie

  7. Timtastic03
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Jovetic to play 90then ? Aguero probably still isn't ready to play 90 so comes off for dzeko. Other usual change is Navas for Silva/Nasri and Fernandinho for the other striker with Yaya moving into the no.10 position but he's already been brought on.

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      this is my thinking aswell

    2. andyinasia
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Fernandinho already on - Fernando twanged his groin.

  8. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Moses was in the Samsung Galaxy team right?

  9. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    My H2H casual opposition has Janmaat

    Gtfoh!!!!!

  10. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero off at 60 min max

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Doesn't look fit at all.

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        You watching?

  11. RyanC
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    As things stand, looks like it could well be a pretty low scoring week, right?

    1. DIegoCosta19
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      yes

    2. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      True...but way to early to say...not even Saturday HT yet.

  12. DIegoCosta19
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    overall people here are doing a lot better than last year

    remember the template team was coutinho hazard mirallas even soldado and they all started poorly

    1. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Mirallas had a good start didnt he?

    2. pompeyfan
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Soldado started well, a couple of pens

  13. ZakAFC_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Juan Mata out for 2 months apparently.

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Where'd you hear this?

    2. Mr Smith
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      😯 Blessing in disguise?

    5. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      That's bull, now could they know that already.

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        They called the Costa injury.

    6. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      source?

    7. dribbler
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      what was the injury?

      1. Bucky Barnes
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        A crippling lack of form

    8. The Chosen One...
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Like Costa was out for 6 weeks...

    9. RyanC
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I feel bad for Mata, I really do.

      But I feel even worse for these repliers:

  14. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    At this rate their points will be:

    Dzeko (1) Aguero (2) Jovetic (2)

  15. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    City will still win. But its not looking like a thrashing (hopefully)

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    pelle the donkey

  17. FISSH
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Southampton playing very much on the left hand side of the pitch. Clyne not very involved really.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      this happened last GW too

      Bertrand looking the better pick

      1. FISSH
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        hmmm
        goal just came from the right hand side. Thought it was Clyne 🙁

  18. Mr_Partridge
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    How have Stoke gone and shut City down. Looked crap last two games 🙁

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Because they're not trying to win.

    2. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Bus well and truly parked

    3. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      When you beat a team of the calibre of Portsmouth, it serves as a catalyst to go on and do well.

  19. getfunky
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    was there much gloating on here earlier when mata went off injured after last wk?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

  20. Qubit
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

  21. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I suppose city can't take off Jovetic

    Already made one transfer, and aguero not up to 90

    1. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

    2. Not Irish
      • 12 Years

  22. Svidde
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Mata -> Nasri or Silva? Have rambo, sterling and siggy and cant afford fabregas

    1. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years

    2. andyinasia
      • 12 Years

    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

  24. Wouter
    • 11 Years

    Ooohhhh Routledge close to his second.

    1. ronty
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy needs his goal to make my captain choice look good

  25. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm sure Citeh will score. Have they not scored something like every home game for the past couple of seasons bar the Chelsea game?

  28. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Begovic clean sheet incoming

  29. Woy
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago
