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

  1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    25 from 5 (no captain)

    I'll take that.

    Big game for me now, triple Chelsea. CahFabCost

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

    So will Clyne get an assist or not?

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

      Unlikely but fingers crossed

    2. How Mina You
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Seems like he won't as it was a cross and was parried by Adrian. If it had been a shot, the assist would be given.

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

      Not

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

      Nope. Cross.. defelected significantly

    5. Tim Canterbury
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No assist

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

    Transferred out Jovetic for Remy this week. Debuchy coming off my bench.

    Not sure how I feel.

  4. Andy1
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Which of these do I need to get rid of?

    Debuchy
    Mata
    Costa
    Bojan

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      IMO Mata. Odemwingie injury may help Bojan.

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

      Mata and Bojan

      1. Andy1
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Best replacements for 15.2m

        Sterling and Austin?

  5. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    25 Points (Including Siggy's 2 BAP'S) From 5 players.

    Good?

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Same as me

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

      Above average id say

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

      Yeh depending on whats left obviously

      1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Debuchy, Cahill, Eriksen, Sterling, Ramsey & Costa to come.

    4. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully Costa and Cahill muster something up too.

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      😆
      Nice to see him miss a few chances

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

        how to find it again this table? anyone to see all the tables I voted?

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

        filter it by chances created, might make you feel better

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

          Tadic is trying his best. Pelle is fecking infuriating.

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Williamson, nice shout the other day

    3. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos

      Interesting...

  6. Reacher
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Schiderlin (cant spell) stck 1st sub, same as Siggy week 1, guess itsnot my season, gutted

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

    Fellow Terry-Hazard-Costa owners? Here we go!

  8. UKG
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Well, no one saw that City result coming! Having zero City cover and holding on to Costa with him starting is the icing on the cake. Think some sellers are going to feel silly should he get any return now 🙂

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

      I've made my bed

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

    Mata

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

      Indeed

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

      Whoops. That was supposed to be a reply

    3. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If fabregas scores today, I'm going on a trollpage.

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

      Not much, whats Mata with you...?

    5. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I know, he's such a headache now.

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

    The way Jovetics going he will probably score a brace against Arsenal

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

      who u ditching him for this time?

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

        Probably keeping and removing Bony

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

          ade looks about the best option in that case

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

    Benched Jones and Rio... Played Colo and Clyne. Thanks a lot losers.

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

      Them's the breaks.

    2. Wakka Wakkas
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Blame yourself you doofus.

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

      this is a wonderful declaration of your lack of cojones

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

    fabregas in the hole?

    1. Vardy Gras PBFC
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      That's what I thought when I saw the teams.

    2. Chu Young Ping Pong
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      no

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

        no their gonna go 4-3-3, with Fab and Ramires playing CM and matic as CDM

    3. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yea

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

      Love this

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

      I think he's in the same position. Hazard in the hole, and Ramires and Willian wide for their ability to track back vs Baines and Coleman.

    6. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Must be, surely? Willian wide right, Ramires in CM

  13. Vardy Gras PBFC
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who is likely to be the main man up top for CRY under Warnock?

    Gayle
    Chamakh
    Campbell
    Murray

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

      Gayle and Chamakh

      1. Vardy Gras PBFC
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers.

    2. Glasner Ball
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Probably Gayle force with Chamakh, only problem is them both going off injured today. Cynical foul on Gayle by Colocinni terrible, hopefully gets retrospective punishment by panel.

      1. Vardy Gras PBFC
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers. I'll look out for that on MOTD, Gayle looks a decent rotational 7th option.

  14. - DC -
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Bloody hell this sites going to crap.

    Whenever a player scores well - "They're trolling"

    Whenever a popular pick or choice doesn't deliver its - "lol to *insert name* owners"

    If a player is heavily sold and they deliver that week its "lol to the *insert name* sellers"

    Someone please tell me its just a bunch of kids bringing the site down to this level?

    What a shame.

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

      Lol at DC.

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

      Lol at DC for expecting better from the internet 😉

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

      Come back midweek and it's a lot better.

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

        This. Even then, certain times it is a pain but other times it's a nicer crowd.

    4. How Mina You
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely right. Couldn't agree more.

    5. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm not paying membership again until there's an "ignore" option

      1. - DC -
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I was gonna mention that this site has a membership option and provides a service to the serious player. Comment section should be a lot better than a bingo card.

    6. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Always bad on a matchday. Worse today though.

      Here during the World Cup was great though

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

        It was, I really enjoyed the World Cup here. 😀

    7. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I said that earlier too! Getting annoying now, quality of site is vanishing

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

      Agreed, certainly sometimes, especially when busy - also some comments bordering on bullying! Shame really, coz most of the time everyone's great here

  15. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

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

      Probably selling for Sterling

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

      I'm selling for now, he will probably drop .3 next gw

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

      Keeping

    6. Captain Peacock
      • 11 Years

      Selling for Fab or Silva

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

    Any idea what average score will be?

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

      25 - 30

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

      1

    3. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      22 or 23 IMO

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        That's before the Chelsea game though.

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

      Lower than we think, I reckon. Maybe 20ish before the Chelsea game.

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

    People saying they need to get rid of Mata, but Utd should be much improved with Blind and Rojo
    Home to QPR

    Think I have more immediate concerns than Mata at home to QPR

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

      He staying in my team 100% unless injures

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

        Although sterling goals might persuade me

      2. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Didn't he do his hamstring today ?

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

          not confirmed

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You wank over him

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 14 Years

      2. Jinswick

      3. theloveburglar
        • 13 Years

        lol

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

        How mature 🙄

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

        15 points from three matches nothing wrong with that
        7 goals from none matches nothing wrong with that
        Fixtures, nothing wrong with them

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

      Rojo's transfer might be cancelled if they won't be able to solve the issues.

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        They will I imagine

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

        Brown envelope time

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

    Looks like Costa lone up front and Fab in the hole.

    This could be a goalfest

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

      Wouldn't mind hattrick for Fab.

  19. CellinoArmy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Things which went wrong this week.

    1) Started Krul over Begovic.
    2) Started Clyne over Pieters.
    3) Started Jovetic over Diouf.
    4) Captained Rooney over Siggy.
    5) Transferred out Blackett for Coloccini.

    Can anything else go wrong?

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

      1, 2 and 3 are unavoidable. Move on.

  20. Willis.
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Why didn't Tadic score a goal??

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

      Because the rest of the team are shite.

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

      To get to the other side.

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

        Hahaha

    3. Wakka Wakkas
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Because you touch yourself at night.

  21. Jinswick

    Priority to get rid first?

    Bony or Jov?

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

    Siggy maybe highly owned here, but looks like 4400 people in the top10k don't even have hm

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

      How do you find this stat may I ask?

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

        He checked them all

      2. Fifa las vegas

        He checked all the top 10k 😉

      3. The Machine
        • 12 Years

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

    This site has become a bit like the Total FPL chatroom.

    I was dishing out the lolls earlier but that was just for Man U.

    Jovetic (c) in for Costa means Lol@ me

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

      You are one of the worst offenders 🙄

    2. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Except this site doesn't have that one idiot who repeatedly says:

      "Where da mannnurrre at"

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

    12 points 7 plus Captain to play

    Debuchy
    Ramsey (C)
    Fabregas
    Eriksen
