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.

    hmm, JT and Mata out, Vert and Cesc in ❓

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

      looks tempting tbh

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

        also kinda want Raheem though

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

          I'd rather go for Fabs over Sterling

  2. JT's Dog
      11 years, 3 months ago

      This week I seem to have given great advice
      Sell terry, keep bego, keep DDG, captain Siggy

      Do not expect it in future , I will be returning to my usually crap next week

    • Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      11 years, 3 months ago

      Annoying owning Terry whilst he's getting outscored by Ivanovic.

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

        Agreed

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

        yup

      3. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        And the week you do Terry to Ivanovic, he gets benched. It's written.

        1. Granville
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I'll never do that transfer. I'd rather double up first.

          1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Do it, the points will a be a coming

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

        Full backs this year my man

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

        yep and to see him stay back for corners too.. has to go

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

        I hate owning Terry atm.. either gonna upgrade him to Ivanovic or swap him out to get money for my attack

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

          yeah I'm thinking about the latter, am also tempted by flirty Verty

      7. JT's Dog
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah that 0.5 really made up my mind rather than the player

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

          Agree. Also hurts that Mark has him 😉

        • Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Got them both

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

        Fabregas - Ramsey - Mata - Siggy (Albrighton)
        Rooney - Costa - Dzeko

        2 FTs

        Mata ➡ Sterling tomorrow if Sterling is not hurt, and wait with the other transfer for after the international games (probably Dzeko ➡ Adebayor, if nobody gets hurt) ??

      9. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Hazard off Mikel on. ITK.

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

        Terry is not worth it, downgrading.

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

          Or upgrade to Ivanovic.

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

            Yup.. one of the two. think im just gonna downgrade though.

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

          debating vert

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

        Begovic and Rio got me a cleanie, but Terry didn't. Crazy week. Great game though!

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

        Delighted that CS is gone 😀

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

          yeap 🙂

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

          So am I as an Ivanovic owner.

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

            I'd say so 😀

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

            That's silly - with a cleanie and a goal he'd be a shoo in for the big bonus points.

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

              No its not as lots of people have Chelsea defenders but only a small percentage of them have Ivanovic and also with Chelsea conceding in 2 of 3 games it means people who don't are more reluctant to get Chelsea defenders.

              1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                Well with mou's record of 55-60% of CS with his teams or was that just Chelsea.

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

          I almost feel like i should be given a CS for Terry every week for paying the premium over cheaper options 🙂 .. he's gone soon

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

            That's the tough one this season, the pricey ones (barring Ivan) aren't destroying the cheapies 😉

      13. JT's Dog
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Triple Chelsea defence blown then

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

            Ouch

        • red_devil
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          repost should i do rooney>costa now before rooney drops?? or wait for man utd next fixture??

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

            Up to you but I wouldn't let the price rule the choice

        • Costa in Wengerland
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Asking again 😛

          Wasnt that clyne's assist ? 🙂

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

            At the time everyone seemed to think so. Not so sure know. I realise this probably doesn't help

          2. Sebbo29
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            was not a shot on goal but rather a cross, and direction of ball significantly altered by GK so rules say NO assist 🙁

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

              Ah that's probably more helpful. Slightly annoying but helpful

              1. Sebbo29
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                i don't like it either, got him as a DEF

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

                  Yep one of those where this site gets you excited at the time then it's all taken away from you. Maybe it'll be like Suarez last year and well get it in a week or so.

            2. Costa in Wengerland
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Ohh

        • MJ6987
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Jose

          He wasn't lying at all. He didn't train two days, trained Friday, reaction was OK so he was passed fit.

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

            The Sun on the other hand.....

        • Sooda
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Argh bye Cahill Cleanie.

          Almost did Silva/Bojan > Siggy/Jovet

          Glad I did not now. Think im going to do Silva > Siggy next week though...maybe Bojan > Diouf given theyve got Leicester and QPR next...

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

          ivanovic red card incoming.

        • Jay Jay Okocha
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          The Costa injury fiasco devestated me. Blew 2 FTs to drop Costa rather than shifting Cahill to Clyne. Oof. Now I'm stuck with a gimpy Mata and a benched Dzeko.

          1. Granville
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Dzeko wont be benched for long. Pellegrini made a mistake today, a mistake we saw coming.

            1. Jay Jay Okocha
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              More annoyed about not having 2 FTs over the international break, honestly.

        • Davido989
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I don't want to wildcard but I want to wildcard.

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

            Do it. You'll feel so much better.

        • AIRMILES
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Has anyone posted about BPS for this week?

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

            Lazy, half the fun is working them out yourself.

        • Mindless Freak
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Fabregas will probably end up with 4 less points than Siggurdson. Dam.

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

            *6

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

            4 fewer.

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

          I didn't get one cleanie this week 🙁

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

            Me neither... I got 3. 😉

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

          Switching terry to ivanovic will probably pay off long term. Just feels like a waste of transfer though

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

            Just did it.

          2. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Patients.

            That's the main ingredient to success this season.

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

              I wouldn't recommend getting injured players... 🙂

        • halnone
          • 15 Years

          I hate fantasy.

            11 years, 3 months ago

            The fantasy's fine.
            It's the real players that feck it up.

        • @ocprodigy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Looks like Fabregas will keep up with Hazard this year... Not good.

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

            He will beat him easily imo

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

              I might triple up

              1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                With Chelsea youmean?

              This.

            • 16 Years

            the one player in the game im scared not owning. gonna downgrade Terry GW 5 and get him

              I've got 2 FTs might lose JT next week and get Mata out for Cesc

        • pundit of punts
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Fabregas and Costa. 😎

          Knee jerkers getting punished big time this season.

            • 11 Years

            Unfortunately I don't think so, but still hoping they'll give it to him somehow

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

          At least Chelsea have got to try and score now instead of just taking a 2-0 win.

        • MJ6987
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Anyone else finding this a very confusing gameweek?

          As in, I have no clue whether I am doing well, badly or average...

          1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Agreed.

            I am on 40 points which I feel is just below average.

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

              No way that's below average, no way.

            • 14 Years

        • Mindless Freak
          • 13 Years
