Back in the game after another international interval, Saturday presents us with an array of treats that begins at the Etihad. Manchester City host Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs side in what looks to be a fascinating encounter, with a gaggle of prime Fantasy assets on show.

Given the doubt surrounding Diego Costa’s availability, suddenly the significance of Sergio Aguero’s pitch time and points increases. The Argentine will doubtless carry the armband for some and, in the main, they’ll be hoping that Spurs can provide opposition that forces Manuel Pellegrini’s men to seek out goals.

Certainly Spurs are set up to trouble the home side, with Pochettino’s high pressing game and emphasis on the counter, potentially exploiting key weaknesses in the City rearguard.

Following this, we have a fresh batch of six three o’clock clashes warming in the oven and you can look to our Twitter feed for all the lineup news from those matches.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    What a ghastly Spurs team. I can see a rout, here ... ðŸ™

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

      Dier, Fazio, Kaboul and Rose. Not even a standard PL defence.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

    What should I hope for?

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

      Costa brace, kun 1 goal would do

  19. Saniul
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Agu Agu!

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

    Spurs are a disgrace Did Wolves not get fined for fielding a weakened side in the PL when they had decided they had already lost to Man Utd away one time?

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

      Agree. ðŸ™

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      It's a limited squad game now. They can do what they want.

      1. JK - Cønt â­

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

    I played Moore instead of PvA.

    Good move?

    Also have Clyne and Forster.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I would play PVA if i were you
      Lei will never keep a CS

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Good move imo.

  22. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is there any law preventing football managers from telling porkies in their pressers? If so, then they'd surely avoid it. If no then why don't they do it more often?

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

      Telling what :shock:?

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        lies

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

          Ohh.. No need to open urban dictionary then. Thanks 😉

  23. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero off at 64th for Dzeko, rested for Champions League midweek

    *log off and run before Aguero owners come

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

      You are horrible.

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      ...to a standing ovation after his hat-trick

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

    Who did Mark captain?

  25. Green Arrow
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Come on Aguero! Time to get injured!

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

      What a good human being you're

      1. Green Arrow
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        That's harsh coming from a Zombie.

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

          We are just a misunderstood species sir

          1. Green Arrow
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I see.

  26. cechmate
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero looking up for it

  27. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Chadli plays, but where? Second striker or out wide?

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

      Out wide.

  28. Saniul
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any Tottenham fan would have expected a defensive six of Walker, Vertonghen, Chiriches, Davies, Paulinho/Dembele and Stambouli at the start of the season.

    What has happened to their players?

  29. Long Juan Silva
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Poch is unbelievable. Makes the worst of his 4 CBs his captain and benches his and one of the leagues best CBs 🙄

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

      Also Dembele, Paulinho, Stambouli and Bentaleb, arguably their best four CMs, are seen nowhere.

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

      Strange indeed, but on the other hand i've never rated Poch as anything special

    3. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Might end up being a shrewd call come the final whistle. Looks an interesting game so far.

    4. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe he wasn't fully fit, but Poch didn't want to let City know that.

      1. Long Juan Silva
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Benched Vert already this season. He was the obvious choice for captain too. Poch just doesn't like him, somehow.

    5. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He captained Kun

      1. Long Juan Silva
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        🙂

  30. Ser Football 42

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Good luck to everyone!!
