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.

    Aguero continues to let nonowners off the hook.

    Sort it, you midget.

      He'll get a bonus though though right. Probably on 10 right now, so not that bad.

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

        He won't, if he continues to miss.

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Good return so far. 3 bps likely and a half to play

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

        Should've been into the 20s already

      2. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Six points off where he should be though.

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

      feel better its a saved pen rather than a miss

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

        Shot on target

      2. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He missed on the rebound as well.

  2. Mee and the Boys
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What should I do with this team guys?

    Krul, Foster
    Baines, Terry, Naylor, Alderweireld, Wilson
    Sterling, Tadic, Eriksen, Siggy, Downing
    Costa, Pelle, Welbeck

    A) Baines + Welbeck ---> 3.9 def + Aguero
    B) Costa ---> Aguero
    C) WC to get this team:

    Krul, Foster
    Azpil, Moore, Naylor, Alderweireld, Wilson
    Sterling, Di Maria, Eriksen, Siggy, Downing
    Costa, Aguero, Welbeck

      At least see if he leaves the arena walking first........ Kun that is.

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

      you'd keep krul on a WC?

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

        not worth a WC for 4 transfers mind

        1. Mee and the Boys
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Actually I meant Naismith instead of Welbeck for the WC team so it'd be 5, and I'd keep Krul for now, he still rotates well with Foster.

  3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

    God, do i need Kolarov to come on now. Otherwise i'll get Dier's -

  8. Gregor

    I reckon that penalty miss has cost me at least 15 points.

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years

      12

        Silva assist, might have even brought Silva a cheeky bonus point or two.

  9. Kevtheotter
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Having an arguement with my brother....Hes saying the teams on livescore are the right starting 11s 🙂 ha

    4. Hibbo

      11 years, 3 months ago

      Looking like 22pts with 60mins off game time and top bonus as captain.

      But ofc subject to change. 34pts would've been unreal.

    5. Kevtheotter

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

    I know he is doing well so shouldn't complain, but is there a more sickening feeling than your captain missing a penalty? I still remember the same feeling years ago when van persie missed one

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

      12 point swing :yellowsadface:

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

      He's cost me 12 points minimum with that miss, time to get rid.

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Benteke. Super low ownership and didn't get the game on TV so I had to watch the posts on here as it happened. Brutal.

    4. sambyy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It's awful, especially since I'm still not over the Baines miss last gameweek.

      2. JWF
        • 16 Years

        Whether that's true or not (and I really hope it is) there are way better options up front in FPL.

      lol at you

  21. Guy Demel's SH
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Not sure how to feel - happy with Aguero's two goals, but that -12 swing from the missed pen hurts

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

      yeah if he scores we're on 20+ already, now we're on 14

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

      Cost me a Silva assist as well, i'm seething!

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

      hurts like hellllll

    4. Mr Imp
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Likewise. I had a missed pen from Baines last gameweek as well so could have had 18pts more if those two pens had been scored...

      1. Mr Imp
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Make that 20pts, sorry... even more gutting.

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

          Plus baines bonus.

          Sorry 😯

  22. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero looked to be limping a bit at HT there!

    1. Pie-o-My
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He always limps!

  23. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who else is having heart issues every time Aguero touches the ball?

    I still think he'll score another, Spurs are shocking

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

      What game are you watching? Spurs are looking wobbly in defence but going forward they look like they will score. Both ManC goals were questionable too.

  24. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Really hurts watching aguero 🙠it really does!

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

    Should have just scored the rebound.

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

    COME ON KUN

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

    Captain bags a brace before half time and people still aren't happy. Baffling

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

      Well, there is a small matter of a penalty miss ...

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

        Okay but he could have 0 goals. Appreciate what we got!

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

      hahah so true

    3. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I am very happy...in all fairness the first pen was very soft and he looks like he could easily score another one or two.

      If he comes out of this game injury free and double digit points haul I will be over the moon

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

      He's only scored 1.5 goals from an FPL points perspective (and damaged his BPS position).

  28. Pie-o-My
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Still got to fancy Kun for the hat trick. He could have been heading towards an incredible haul but for the missed pen. Don't think he's finished yet though.
