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.

        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Whatever this is a bad week for Costa owners to my mind

  4. 1314
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Baines missed last week and Kun(C) today..11 pts(after bonus) last week and 12 points this week...

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

    Just realised that pen miss cost me 20 points in UFPL 🙁

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

      Oh yeah. 😯 That's actually a big deal in UFPL.

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

        He's my captain. -6 for not being a goal, -2 for the pen miss, -2 for the 2 big chances missed it got him.

        Furious. Would've been massive in my chances for the October £1k 😡

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

          Aye, got him captain as well. Just checked my points after seeing your points.

          Such a big swing.

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

        It's only -8 for the pen miss and 2 big chances missed. The third big miss was separate

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

      • 16 Years

      good I don't have hinmdoes it count as a big chance missed?

  6. nikobg
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    That Aguero penalty miss meant 12 points less for me, he's my captain, now I have 14 from him instead of 26. 🙁

    Stop whining already. You are lucky he scored the first 2.

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

      2 goals = 8 - 2 miss = 6 clearly not good enough

  10. vanishing spray
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hello folks, could you provide a bit of food for thought about options in the mid-price forward category? Supply looks very slim apart from Pellè and the 5M wonders. Would the new West Ham guys be a good place to invest?

    Aguero needs to come in which means I have to get rid of Chadli or Siggy.
