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.

    Eriksen puts it on a plate and Lamela ruined it. This isn't Italy, the game is faster just shoot !!!

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Eriksen did well there

    2. Kip

      *France

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

        *Italy.

        1. Just A Hat
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          he used to play for Roma JWF

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

            Errr, last time I checked Roma (as in Rome) was in Italy.

            1. Just A Hat
              • 16 Years

              nevermind 😉

          Pretty sure it's France. Someone on here once did a really convincing piece about Lamela playing for Rome in Ligue 1, France. 😉

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

            Ah yes, sorry, I'm a little out of touch at the moment!

        3. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He played for Roma in France...

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

            He played for Roma in France !!!

  2. DRY PEANUT

    Aguero off at half time with champs league in mind 😎

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Not when they only have a one goal lead.

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

    Benched Lloris for Krul who is on 6 points here so Krul is about to ship 4.

  4. Super Silva
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero will definitely wanna put another past Lloris because of the penalty miss.
    C'mon son.. get in there

  5. Rödallegabomb á´¿á´®
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    He could have had a hattrick and then some in the second half 😮

  6. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If things stay as they are now, there is a decent chance Pelle,ADM and Costa can match Aguero or even outscore him. There is still hope.

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

    I apologise to all those who I told not to captain Aguero!

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It's ok, no one listened

  8. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    OMG, just woke up. Aguero missed a penalty. Dang it.

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

    Eriksen in good form! may get him next week

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

      Never seems to go right. Not for me anyhoo.

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

        you will change your mind if you're watching the game. he's very good today

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

    Did Aguero miss a penalty.

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

      he did

    2. Ser Football 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yup

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

      And scored one

    4. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      you missed the ?

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

        ?

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

        It would appear so and you missed the capital "Y", quotation marks and full stop. 😉

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

          Yes but you make no sense without the question mark... 😉

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

            I beg to differ as people responded accordingly, which suggests that my post made sense. 😀

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

          It's correct to have no full stop in my sentence by the way.... 😉

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

          a ? is a punctuation mark so no full stop needed
          just saying...

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

            If you put the question mark in quotation marks, then I would have used a full stop to end the sentence. Not having the question mark in quotation marks above makes the sentence harder to read.

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

              wrong.

  11. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero captainers. 😆

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

      He's still on for 20 atm, decent (c) returns

      1. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Tehe. I know! Come on Agueroo!!

          ah yes, the extra appearance point

  12. JWF
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Soldado's passing is excellent.

  13. amol
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I'm the only one who captained Kun in my ML 😉

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

      I'm the only one who has Aguero in my ML haha. So disappointed with that PK miss.

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

        Just hoping Costa comes off the bench and not start, everyone in my ML captained him

  14. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Bury that Navas.

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

    Any chance Ljoris for 3 BP?

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

      Not unless he saves another pen

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

    Almost an assist.

    The performance speed of this new PLAYON site is absolute.... Trash 😡 !

    Until they sort it, I won't be playingON any longer.

    It bombs you out event few minutes, then take you a year to re log back in 😡 !!!!

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years

      Lol^

      It is just an excuse to strip you of money, mate.

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

      I bet they don't hulk this one 😛

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I have the skill to hulk my own.

        I won't though as not appropriate, but it's very disappointing.

        The look and feel of the site is great, but the userbility is just an absolute shambles.

  19. st4rt__

    Soon as Mourinho says Costa's out for 2-3 weeks (IF he does) Aguero's going straight in to avoid his price rising, feel so silly not owning him this week.

  20. AlCapwnUK
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    just checked the games. Get in Aguero, shame about the penalty miss

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

    12pts lost for the missed pen. Still happy 🙂

  22. chilli con kone
    • 12 Years

    Soldado looks really sharp! Some great link up play in this half

  23. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    The Premier League returns with a bang. God I've missed this 🙂

  24. afcblegend

    save after save after save. Keep 'em coming Lloris.

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

      was planning to buy him after this week and all

  25. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I think Navas is my favourite midfielder in the premier league

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

      You must not watch much soccer.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

  28. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Loris will end up with double digits despite conceding.

  29. Honeybadger
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Lloris to get a sh*tload of points?

    1. J0E

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Can you tone down the bad language please. Getting a lot of complaints about your posts today.
