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.

    Before Costa's last goal he had only 3 points more than Jovetic, wasn't looking that bad untill he scored his second 🙁

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Worst part is that Jovetic will probably be dropped for Dzeko 🙁

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

    2 FT .5 in the bank

    Dzeko - Naismith and Mata - Fab

      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

    Gonna wait until next thursday and then consider replacements for Terry and Jovetic

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

      Bit early to ditch Jovetic?

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

        hence "consider".. what was with that falcao rumor earlier? As things stand my transfer gonna be saved this week

    2. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      We can't go through the season ditching players when they don't score in one game.

      No strikers score every game.

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

    Jovetic > Costa back agian or Wait ?

    1. dr manhattan
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm tempted. Sometime you just have to swallow your pride!

  8. The Machine

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Mourinho subbing fabregas over costa was the most annoying part of the week. And besić. ..wow just wow

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

    When some player loses a clean sheet, (a thing we cant control), then everyone makes fun of it and nobody gets upset.
    People get rid of a player, (a thing we control and decide), then some people makes fun of it and the tears drown all of us
    Weird

    Good luck with tomorrow games

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

    Alright, score check and players to play.

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

      Don't think this will be a high scoring week for most so that score probably is pretty decent, especially if Sterling does well tomorrow.

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

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

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

    Chelsea get 6 goals, Fab gets 4 points, who'd have thunk it.

    1. Captain Hindsight
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Ramires, Mikel and Matic were due some points to be fair.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
