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.

      Do it. Siggy got to go.

  4. cklessa

    Any Rooney owners planning on swapping to Costa despite manu great fixtures? Think they are both still 10.5....?

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

      I'm keeping Rooney for another week at least

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

        Season keeper for me

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I have both. But I'd definitely keep Rooney for QPR

    3. Admiral Stark
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Third game and the 'easy' fixtures haven't really been that easy. Form over fixtures

    4. That\'s a different Ma…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I would if I didn't have Costa... But thinking of shifting to Sturridge anyway... If United can't muster many shots against Burnley with like 90% possession I'm thinking QPR / Lei looks like a tough games!

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

    I had a dream Baines scored, so I took him out for Ivan... nice.

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

      This is how FPL should be played. Nice.

  6. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Nothing for Hazard yet...

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

    I really don't trust this Mata anymore. Actually I don't trust Utd. Sterling might be better option starting next gw.

    1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      What's wrong with the other mata?

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

        U'r right. Other Mata is ok

    2. Ouch 8 point hit
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Already done it. Hoping Balotelli doesn't effect his position too much.

  8. cheeky_ash
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else playing their WC

    With Rooney, Mata, amongst others not performing might be time to hit the button....

    Also my defence is shite...

    So who is with me here?

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

      You don't want to get rid of both the United attackers. Disaster waiting to happen if you do.

  14. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years

    Should have done Mata to Fab when everyone else did.

  15. Balotellitubbies

  16. lazybones18

    costa --> Jovetic

    Caulker - Dummet

    lovely morning

  17. Rambo Motin
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So glad I brought in Ivan for a hit. I promised myself this season if I see a player in form, I will not ignore him

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      So will you get Dyer? 😛

  18. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Making a lot of mistakes already this season.

    Very tempted with Bony & Jov -> Studge/Costa & Naismith for another hit already!

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

    I'm coming to the conclusion that my managerial skills this year make LVG seem a tactical genius...

  20. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years

    whats the average on here? i genuinely don't know i was at a wedding

    1. Bolt-on

  21. Chu Young Ping Pong
    • 13 Years

    Matic is absolute class.

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years

        No

    3. Esalman

  24. Sess!
    • 15 Years

    Ivan has to be essential after today.

    1. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely

  25. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Mmmm - for the price rises/form players?:

    Eriksen, Terry, Mata -> Fabregas, Ivanovich, De Jong

    How does that sound?

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

      Terry->Ivanovich could be a mistake.

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

        Probably but after this week Ivan will be unobtainable.

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

    For GW4:

    a) Cesc and Courtois
    b) Bego and Hazard

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

      a) would require 2 transfers so b)

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

        How do you know how many transfers it would take me?

    2. The Devil Wears Prada
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      a.. all day, everyday

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

        Think Haz will explode soon and have everyone scrambling to get him. Last season I got him the week before and from then he rose from 9m to mid 10s

        1. The Devil Wears Prada
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          if fabregas keeps playing in the hole (which he should after this game), there is no way hazard should cost more than fab

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

            He could as Oscar has been poor for some time. Fair point - fabs shooting looks like it leaves something to be desired though

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

    that was a great tackle

  28. Bolt-on
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    You can't tackle anymore?

  29. The Devil Wears Prada
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard -> Fabregas, Luis -> Ivanovic, Mata -> Sterling (-4)

    Who says hits don't pay off

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nicely done!!!

      1. The Devil Wears Prada
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        cheers!

  30. Son is Rising
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ivanovic second sub, ballbags! Chance of both Vlaar and Chambers not playing?

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

      Why the feck would you bech Ivan?!

      1. Son is Rising
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Stupidity... and misplaced faith in Sunderland and Newcastle defense

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

          For Sunderland defender 😯

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

      Your own fault

    3. The Devil Wears Prada
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      you benched ivan... ummmmmmmmmmmm

    4. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      don't deserve his points if you benched a premium defender

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

      Why?
      It's your own fault
      Second sub for a 7.2m defender

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

      😯
      You'll probably get very lucky with Chambers as well.

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

      A member too. Oh the humanity..!

      1. Son is Rising
        • 15 Years

        😆

    8. Admiral Stark
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Chambers over Ivan? Eek

    9. RabMac
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      😆

      You don't spend 7M on a defender and bench him.
