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.

    How did Bego not get any save points?

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

      Was just one save off, you'd think he would get an easy save at the end of the match at some point

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

        He doesn't even need to touch the ball. He hypnotized City's players with his eyes.

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

      City were awful.

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

      City were shite

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Not complaining though 🙂 Maybe a BP

  2. ChildishFirmino and Lallana…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    52 points and still have half a team to play :)) I sweated for those 4 points Isla got for the clean sheet though. And the f** referee stole a goal from Pelle as well. Would have had 6 more

    1. Miami Monkey
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Who the hell is in your team

  3. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Balotelli the ultimate differential. Hopefully scores a brace for me

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

      I'm already tempted to get him in for Roonpig, will have to see how he performs...

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

    Clyne won't get the assist because it wasn't a shot

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

      Indeed you have no clue. Please read the rules.

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

        The part where it says it must be a shot?

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

          Apologies. Read the rules properly. No assist. Saints fan, Clyne owner, wearing red and white specs. 😳

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

    19 with courtois, hutton, ramsey (C) fabregas, sterling and Costa to play?

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

    Did Dummett get on

    1. Nice1Cyrille
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

  7. ZE GERMANS
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I played Krul instead of Green for 1st time this season.

        Don't care tonight though. Happy with 3 points, clean sheet and Austin off the mark.

    3. ZE GERMANS
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

    2. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy in for Mata and Ivanovic in for Luis

  9. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    34 (including BAPS) with Ramsey,Naismith,Haz,Costa and Cahill to play. Good or not?

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

      yes

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

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        No really,I didnt saw others points

    3. Miami Monkey
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy captain?

  10. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Adam Johnson on for 1BP in a 1-0 defeat!

  11. Misunderstood Genius
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Very happy with how today went, captained Siggy and Begovic was a nice surprise

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

    Was planning on wildcarding from:

    Bego (Gilks)
    Terry Bertrand Chambers (Chester Duff)
    Ramsey Fab Sterling Sig (Wanyama)
    Rooney Dzeko Jovetic

    to

    Krul (Elliot)
    Bertrand Taylor Coloccini (Chester Duff)
    Ramsey Hazard Sterling Sig (Wanyama)
    Kun Rooney Ade

    This would have been a -24.

    However now thinking I could just do Jovetic Dzeko Terry to Kun Ade Naylor for -8 instead

    Thoughts?

    1. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Thoughts...? You need to chill.

    2. k2ashley
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Tough one mate, Your current side is good. I'd take this week with no games on to think about it. I'm planning to use my wildcard i think this week and I'm sure I'll be changing my team a lot with it before i settle.

  13. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Begovic cleanie. Who'd have thunk it.

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

      I was hoping for save points! This is great.

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

    WC activated... Sold Jove, Rooney Mata, bought Schneider and Dyer... let the Cash role in...

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

      *roll

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

      This is not 2013, rises are slow and rare.

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

        Commmmee on... let me dream man...

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

          Sorry, 0.8 turnaround for you, go RAFE63 😆

    3. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No money to be made in the new NTI system, plus with no stats you'll never know who's rising/falling. Dont see the appeal myself.

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      So you will continue to chase points then.

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        how did you draw that conclusion?

  15. Red Viper
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So last year Yaya Toure scored when he never looked like scoring the whole match, this year he gets so many shots away and cant get a goal 😀

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

      this makes me happy

  16. SENTI CAZORLA
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So I played JWP and benched Costa for him...not sure what to feel... :-S

  17. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

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

    2. aussiegooner

  18. MarkFLR
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Green made 6 saves but no bonus??

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

      1 at the mo

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

        0 at the moment. Johnson from sunderland has 27.

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

          buggery

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

      He has a chance for 1 BP

  19. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Pieters gets an assist for passing in his own penalty area and Clyne doesn't!!

    I have written a terse email to FPL towers asking for it to be added and asking for an apology for my PTSD.

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

      Lol read the rules

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

    Scout picks did well. Ahem.

    1. Jack Frost
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, Siggy. Quite a collective effort... but they do reflect most teams except for Aguero and Kolarov.

  21. Galfadez
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So basically nothing goes to plan

    1. ChildishFirmino and Lallana…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      1. chuckberry04
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

      2. BantamPhil
        • 12 Years
