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.

    FFS! I captained Bony. How can Swansea win 3-0 and Bony get deux point?

      Lolcano

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

      The Jovetic, Aguero, Rooney, Dummett and RVP captainers all send their regards

  2. joinho
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    and what's with Dummett not playing *another wasted transfer 🙁

    If that Barnsley fan is about I just want to let you know that was our reserve side you got a draw against today. We have so many injuries atm and still no Roho, etc.

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

      Lol mata di Maria Rooney DDG etc are reserves?

      1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        We need to spend some money. Can't keep relying on our youth system the whole time

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

          Haven't you spent like 200 mil

          1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            No that's just what the bitter ABU media say.

  5. Green Arrow
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Best replacement for Mata? Already have Fab,Sig,Ramsey n sterling.

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

      Maybe Lamela?

    2. arsms
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I would downgrade Mata and uograde strikers/defence.

    3. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Di Maria

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

      Either wait one more GW or see how TOT perform and get Eriksen/Lamela.

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

    I'm a fool who sold Costa for Jovetic, should I buy him back straight after the game in case of price rises?

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

      Yes, then when he blanks the next GW, you can take him back out and get Jovetic back in.

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

        He's a keeper, I honestly thought he was out and City had an "easy" game

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

      Not a fool really, you thought he was injured, the fixtures for Jov (and form) looked good. It was bad luck.

      (That, and other things I was telling myself within the first five minutes of this game)

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

    Did Fabregas look at the back of his shirt as if to say 'who are ya'

  8. Curly619
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    2 FT and .5 in the bank any trade suggestions ?

    Begovic

    Ward Clyne PVA

    Mata Ramsay Eriksen Siggy

    Costa Rooney Dzeko
    -----------------------------------------
    Gilks Hendo Moore Chester

    Mata - JWP , Dzeko - Aguero

    OR

    Mata - Fab , Ward - Williamson

  9. joinho
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Come on Fabregas any chance you go and score a hat trick would be greatly appreciated cheers

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

    Ahhh. Fab almost!

  11. super zlatan
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

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

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

      yeah that is a concern iv the cash here to swap to ivan and its looking likely

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

    If he can score away against Everton then it's good enough for me. Will stay in my team barring injuries.

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

    Ooooh

  15. A Wild Lurker Appeared
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Already looking at Terry, Mata, Debuchy -> Ivanovic, Fábregas, Clyne for -4pts.

    I can only just afford it.

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

  16. Manani
    • 14 Years

    1. Manani
      • 14 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 14 Years

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

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

    Is Terry to Ivanovic worth 4 pt hit?

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

      not a hit mate no

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

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

      this may be the end for him

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

        Makes a sideways move to Ivan easier

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

      too old to keep legging it back

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

      He was up for the last one...

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

        He wasn't

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

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

    Chances of Chambers and Alex Bruce starting?

    I have Burnley and stoke clean sheets on the bench!

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

    Love having Fab in my team, brilliant player to watch and enjoy.

  22. The Fat Cat
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    There's been so much Bull about costa this week this kinda stuff takes the biscuit, never trust a jose the sly one

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

    Ugh I need Ivan don't i. Don't we all.

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

      Pretty much. Ultimate def.....gets in box in open play and a beast from set pieces.

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

      Nah, you don't NEED him
      He won't score 2 in 3 all season or he would end up with 25 goals

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

        But he'll score a handful and prob a few assists and the same clean sheets as the other Chelsea defenders. Think we might as well get him now before he's 8.0

  24. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So Austin to Jove worked out well

  25. AriseSirGiggsy
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    The myth that Diego Costa might not be top class as he's only had 1 mega season has been totally dispelled for me
    Total class - will take something special from Sturridge or Aguero to keep him off the golden boot this year

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

    Neil Warnock needs to draw on some eyebrows. Freaks me out.

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

    Lukaku = FLOP
    Never deserved the chance to play for Chelsea in the first place.

    1. HUMZAH96
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Ahaha this!

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

        No way he's a flop

    2. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Is Coleman a better option than baines now?

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

        Now, not so much, but after a few games, yes

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

      Should I transfer Tadic out or not considering they have some really good fixtures coming up?

    4. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Chelski 2-0 up. Is it gonna be shore up at half time then?
