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.

    just 1 more goal aguero,get a nice round 30 points and i'll forget about that peno 😉

    Better to be an Aguero captainer than a non-Aguero captainer in spite of the penalty miss.

    But think of how non-Aguero owners must feel...

    Essential.

    1. 4-4-who?
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If every player cost 12.4M then I'd agree 'essential'.

      He is too expensive and injury prone.

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

        no, he's essential. (I'm a non-owner)

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

      Rather depends on how the players they have instead work out. Kun doing very well and should be in for a haul but early days yet.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      The only thing that is essential in fantasy football is that you get get your captaincy correct more often then not - regardless of who the player is.

      There is no such thing as essential player.

    4. rozzo
      • 12 Years

      Non Aguero owner here, not worried. Pelle and Berahino have a higher point per game ration than Aguero, as does Sakho

  3. Crouch Potato!
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Agueros pen miss just cost me my house.

  4. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Mason looks a good player. Fair play having been loaned out and injured for most of his career.

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

      He's played quite well so far

    2. Crouch Potato!
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He's a rock at the back!

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He's chiseled out some good openings.

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

    Austin pen miss.
    Aguero (c) pen goal.
    Aguero (c) pen miss.

    Pens are not my thing at all. 😐

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

      could be worse

      Imagine if you'd had Baines last week as well

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

        Ah, yes. Baines missing a pen is a 8- or even 11-point swing. One of the reasons I'm scared to get him 😐

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

        Some of us don't need to imagine.

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

        i did 🙁

  6. Respect My Authoritah
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Dw, another 2 for Kun to come

  7. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Don't worry guys still another half for aguero.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

  8. Heydudes13

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

    Hattie coming up 😎

    1. Arse Craic
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If he starts! Here's hoping...

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

    People getting hostile over Aguero lol

    1. dodger49
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Haha I knoww. He's been terrific so far, don't understand all those haters

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

        He's not justified his price tag so far this season. Been quite wasteful.

  13. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Stupid Penalty miss minus points 👿

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

    23min till Costa news

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

      I'll save you the time, he starts, Mou is a bullshitter.

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

        And that's why I think he doesn't start. It's an inverse bullshit type of bullshit.

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

    sterling + Falcao to Aguero & Eriksen for -4 ?? ya or na??

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

      Nay

  16. copps
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    what a match

  17. MattysFantasyFooty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero to get 2 goal and an assist in the second Half feel it the man is a God

    1. 1314
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I hope sooo..others will be aware of him after this game and he should earn as much as possible this week for the differentials !!

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

        It's not only the points Aguero is scoring as a differential. It's also the fact that at 12.3m most people are going to have to pay away points to get him by next week. A first half hat trick would have been the sort of thing that decides the season long league in a single game. Still time for him to score a couple in the next 25 or 30 minutes he'll play.

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

    Happy enough if Aguero finishes on 10 as an owner but non captainer, Lloris is killing me though 🙁

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

      I'd be happy with 10 so long as Cisse get's more.

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

    My dead team may only have 8 players but two of them are Aguero(c) and Eriksen 😎

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

      Who are the three dead players?

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

        Oooh I might get 10 if Marney and Wisdom play this week. Rooney, Giroud, Luis, Debuchy and Gilks dead

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

    Aguero will be subbed at HT

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No way. only 1 goal lEAD

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

    Pro Tip #154

    Never captain a player from the early kick off.

  22. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Does a penalty miss lose you points?

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

      -2

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

      You don't know the rules? 😀

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years

        First year doing FPL mate; the site wouldn't load for me strangely, so I thought I'd ask on here..

    So PlayON still can't get the live scoring right. Shambles

    1. Evs

      11 years, 3 months ago

      I've given up, it take me a year to log in - and then get bombed out not long after.

      Very frustrating.

      Shame really, was I enjoyed it when I played it last year.

  25. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years

    Fantasy Football.

    It really is a roller coaster isn't it 🙂 ???

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

      Yup. Phew

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

      yep...so much more excitement being an Aguero captainer than a Costa one too!!!

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Cardiff city is Oakwood bloody Park

    4. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years

      That it is.

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

      Imagine if you never followed the matches and just checked your points at the end of the gameweek.

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

      Yup !

  26. Mahesh_Kumar

    I jizzed in my pants twice already! I made Kun captain 1 hour before deadline. Hattie comin up! Happy days

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

    Probably going to do a Fabregas to Eriksen transfer for the upcoming weeks.

    1. I-Taught-Danny-Welbeck-How-…
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe Sterling to Hazard as well?

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

    Aguero should've scored the rebound from the miss

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

      on the flip side the first 2 goals should not have happened. Lamps offside in first goal and the first pen the ref got wrong.

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

    I bet Aguero will be pissed off when he sees how much time he had to control the rebound. Hope so anyway 😀

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

      You still get -2 for the miss but right?

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

        yep.

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

        -4 in my case

  30. pjomara
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Damn you Aguero. Was already presuming a 40+ pt haul from him as he was taking the penalty. Would have 34 pts and just an assist or goal in the 2nd half to bring up the 40
