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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Afternoon all. 40 points (post baps and hit) with Terry, Hutton & Ramsey captain to go. Slightly above average maybe?

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

      Well above i guess.

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

        A funny week

    2. Dušan Citizen

      Very good.

    Laughing at myself for benching my stoke defence and duff. FFS

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

      Logic would have said it was the obvious choice.

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

      Also here.
      Wilson and Duff.

      But Caulker and Taylor did their job.

  4. Chu Young Ping Pong
    • 13 Years

    Pieters on my bench...

  5. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Would it be complete and utter madness to go with no City coverage for the next two GW's and get in Sterling (for Silva). They've got arsenal away and chelsea at home!!!

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

      away to bayern in between too...

  6. Sánchez
    • 13 Years

    1. gravless
      • 14 Years

  7. JoeShmoe
    • 11 Years

    18 from 6 players - it aint good, but Saints won so not all bad!

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years

      See below

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

    18 from 4 inc captain. Presume that's pretty much standard on here today.

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

    Everything didn't go as plan on my team but that's cool

    Jovetic, de Jong, Rooney all blank
    Begovic cleansheet
    Jones 9 points
    Costa starts

  10. mvtaylor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Jesus hell I've got 27 from 8.

    I have Heaton, Ferdinand and Pieters on my bench for 21 points.

  11. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years

    Costa 😎

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

    Who's not getting Aguero and waiting for Falcao IF he signs with City?

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

      Aguero wont be benched anyway

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

    A brace from Costa would save this week for me.

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

      Agree

  14. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Here's hoping for a Chelsea cleanie and a brace from Diegooooo

  15. McSauce
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone who benched Pieters and Diouf get over it! Happens all the time if you had to choose 100 more times ud prob do the same 99 times!! MOVE ON

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

    Suddenly the most owned striking partnership Costa and Rooney becomes a differential coming GW 4. Hmmm.. Me like it

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

      I need to get rid if Rooney. Has been woeful last couple of games.

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

        He gets one more game then I'm wildcarding.

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

          I think I am in the same boat as u. One more GW and WC then..

  17. Deano
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Get ready for WC RMT city around here!

  18. Cluckfuster
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any news on Mata's injury? To be fair, I might have to get shot of him anyway.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Got to sell. He will drop .3 over the next gw

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

    Costa goal

    Can't wait

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

      1-0 Everton

  20. citizen_kane
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hold on. Didn't Clyne get the assist for the last goal?!? Thought that was a done deal.

    This stinks like Oviedo/Lukaku gw12 last season all over again.

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

      Love to know as well!

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

        I think it comes down to whether or not a player is owned by the guy who makes all the decisions. He probably has a rival who has Clyne.

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

      That last sentence is the nerdiest thing I've ever read 😉
      I think Clyne will get the assist.

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

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

      All costa owners in dame boat. Watch him taken off with injury after 10 mins.

  23. hixen
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Sorry guys and girls, if anyone is wondering what happen, it was me.

    Did put my C on Rooney
    Did transfer Costa out for Jovetic
    Did transfer Gilks out for Krul and did bench Bergovic

    Did all this 1 minute before deadline, had Bergovic in goal, did captain Caulker and had Costa.

    Sorry all

  24. ameenkw

    Any chance Siggy will get the assist for the 2nd goal??

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

      No as ball came out of box.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        The box has nothing to do with it

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No chance

    3. HUMZAH96
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Nope, deflected 🙂

        2 assists is good 😀

      Who is referred to as "a large gentrleman" in this BBC commentary....

      "Late drama - the Premier League never fails to deliver! Mark Hughes particularly enjoyed that win at Manchester City, but not as much as a large gentleman adorned with Slipknot tattoos who is jumping all over the place in the rain.Calm down there pal. It's not September yet..."

    5. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      1. Noisy Neighbour
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        One of the most unwelcome clean sheets my fantasy team will ever get.

    6. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Negatives: Rooney (C), Mata, Krul, PvA

      Positives: Siggy, Caulker and no City players while my rivals have loads.

      Costa, Hazard, Debuchy, Ramsey and Eriksen left to come....
