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.

    Wison nailed on? Above Huth in the pecking order?

    1. HUMZAH96
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Good question

      • Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Looks that way. Might bring him in next week. Stoke got a great run.

        1. HUMZAH96
            11 years, 3 months ago

            This

            Though Huth just recovered from injury... Hughes wouldn't throw him in against Ciy

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

        strange feeling

        feel vindicated for championing Austin all pre-season

        feel like a mug for selling him and playing Clyne

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

          Unlucky JK, you were right all along!

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

            yup, and I knew I'd feel crap if he scored and I didn't have him

            sure enough

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

              Not much you can do when he appeared to be injured

        2. Heydudes13
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Why did we sell him again?

          I've forgotten.

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

            he was supposed to be injured

            1. Heydudes13
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Naismith goal, assist.

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

                he's on my bench

                this will compound the misery

            2. Del Griffith
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              and this is exactly why we love fpl, the sheer range of emotions makes us feel alive ! 😉

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

          Its coming

      • Mindless Freak
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Dzeko please stay on the bench.

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

          -100

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

          This isn't going to happen I'm afraid mate

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

          Wouldn't happen even if City score 5 before 60.

        4. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Well that's obviously not going to happen. On for Aguero on 60 mins.

      • Woy
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I'd love an Aguero no show.

        1. Jairzinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Man City no show please.

      • Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Swansea looking very good this year. Will have a cheeky bet on them finishing higher then United,

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

          That's in no way cheeky.

          I stuck a quid on united to get relagated.... thats cheeky.

          1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Already have a tenner on a United bottom half finish.

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

            Basically printing money. 😉

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

            Got a fiver on it at 1000/1

            1. Podge
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              lost a fiver then

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

                Almost certainly

      • Podge
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Desperate for Swansea and QPR cleanies now 🙁

      • Owd Big 'Ed
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Is Taylor playing for Swansea?

        1. Podge
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          yeh

      • Rafe63
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Falcao to city... apparently its almost done...

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

          Done hours ago.

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

            Serious?

            So much trolling on here these days I never know what to believe

          2. FPL Daniel
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Not good not good. They might be favorites for the title again... don't like it at all. We bought Remy instead..

        2. Frank Black
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Not really.

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

          Seriously?

        4. Valar(Keith)
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Gonna be a headache owning any city striker this season

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

            Falcao and Aguero HAVE to be 1st choice surely. Two of the best strikers in the world

            1. Sess!
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Means Aguero can actually be rotated and rested though.

        5. Rafe63
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          based on betting odds it seems... bookies must know more than we do.

      • Koflok
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        So far so good.

        No goal from Jovetic / Aguero
        Begovic CS halfway there
        PvA conceeded.
        Rio CS halfway there
        Siggy assist

      • Timtastic03
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Shaping up to be an awful gw so far! Sanchez (c) to come good?

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

          Hat-trick minimum. 😉

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

            +1 😀

        2. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I nearly took a hit to do the same but decided to stick with costa and mata in my team.....urgh. Hope costa plays but not hopeful.

      • Zombie

        Anyone has Zep's dead team challenge sheet's link?

        Austin my first sub. Heard he'd come off the bench at some point so didn't want a one pointer cameo. Gutted

      • Sam
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Benched Austin. RTs and prayers appreciated.

      • Bøwstring The Carp

        11 years, 3 months ago

        17 from 9 with 7 still playing, (c) fail

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

          8 players playing, including captain - currently on 12 pts.

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

        I cant believe Burnley didn't win that game. If they don't beat the teams in and around them, how will they stay up?

      • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years

        GW fail

        1. Lloyd Xmas

      • Daniel Porridge
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

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

          Yes. If anyone will get one it would be Pelle but I can't see it.

          1. Sigga -Cardiff City-
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Tadic?

          2. Daniel Porridge
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            cheers. Dyer is one bandwaggon to look out for

      • UnderstandablyDistraught
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        It's Milner time

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

          It's never Milner time.

      • Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Jovetic 2nd half hatter incoming.

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

          Change this to Dezko and your nailed on.

      • Somalion
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Might as well say it. They miss Dzeko.

        6"4 striker is the right choice vs Stoke's defenders...

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

          Probably right, yeah

          1. Somalion
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah I think so.

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

          Have Jovetic and completely agree. Should come on at the half

          1. Somalion
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Methinks so, one of the few matches I would have expected him to be nailed on for.

        3. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Yep, unfortunately it'll be for Aguero in all likelihood 🙁

          1. Somalion
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Possibly, might have another 15 or 20 minutes in him though.

        4. Mílanista
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Is your team R2-Michu?

          1. Somalion
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Yes sir 😀

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

              Ok, just a bit of friendly notice that I'll be taking 3 points from you in the LAWR league this weekend 😉

              1. Somalion
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                Bit of unfriendly notice to say you certainly will not 😉

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

                  Watch out, my captain is a 6"4 striker that's soon to come off the bench 😉

                  1. Somalion
                    • 15 Years
                    11 years, 3 months ago

                    So I see, mine is the Welsh Messi 😉

                    Now I am in a conundrum, do I want Dzeko on or you to get your Rooney VC? 😉

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

                      You want Dzeko to come on, mop up the points and vindicate your choice of City striker over the kneejerkers 😉

                      1. Somalion
                        • 15 Years
                        11 years, 3 months ago

                        This is true, as long as Rambo scores more 😉

      • Svidde
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

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

      • Sebbo29
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Calm down everyone, still one half to go, a lot can happen

      • Rafe63
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Van Gaal has faced Swansea, Sunderland, MK Dons and Burnley and hasnt even won one. But it doesn't matter as LVF subbed a keeper in the World cup

        1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          LVG?

          Louis Van Fail?

            yep 🙂

      • Pedram
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Glad i didn't jump on Krul's bandwagon.

        Hoping for a Begovic clean sheet or some save points. 🙂

      • Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        (c) Jovetic or Rooney all seems a bit silly now...

        1. Caine & Co.
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          at least rooney got 2 pts

        2. MBK 42
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Quite

      • RyanC
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Just 45 more mins to watch City from behind the sofa and hope Bego keeps that clean sheet...

        1. Sebbo29
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          hiding? 😉

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

          I'm guessing he's your only GK.

          1. RyanC

            Decent fixtures up until November aside from this game. Hardly worth a point hit or a FT to take him out.

        As it stands my wc team is a let down. But I looked ahead rather than this gameweek. At least Janmaat did this business. Come on aguero (c)!!!!!!!

        Keep him on, Pelle.

        Dzeko'll probably come on and score.
