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.

    Not only will people get their vc in, everyone and his dog will have Aguero soon, boooooringggg..... Bye bye differential.

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

      he's basically the only premium striker left

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

        Let's hope Falcao bangs some goals in on Monday.

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

      Yeah...but he's expensive. So not only do you get today's diff but people who want him in next week will likely have to pay away points. One more goal and this one week of Kun (C) will be a massive massive swing.

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

        Depends how ADM, Welb, Pelle and Sterling do though? Surely they are popular vcs.

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

          Aguerooooooooooo!!!

  8. st4rt__

    Downing in for Costa, could be worse. Fancy a Downing goal now. 😉

    1. emperikal
      • 15 Years

      This 😀

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Silva has been shite

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

    Silva's decision making has been terrible

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I thought his decision to join City was sound.

    2. Sadio come here often?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Forget his decisions. He can't even complete a pass

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

    Lamela off the bench for costa.....

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

      lucky you...

  12. emperikal
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Thank god for Downing first sub! I didn't want to bench him in the first place so works out nicely

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

      2 points today.

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

    Just one more goal please kun...

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

      *3

  14. Sleep Talk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Surely Costa can't be out for long.
    I'd definitely want him for the mun and QPR games.

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

    Cue Silva YC

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

    @Demi

    Are you in charge of the Team News tab?

    If so, why did you predict Costa to start and yet sell him in FPL?

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

      you look too old this season

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

      Ooo

    3. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      For jokes

    4. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He wants to win FPL.

    5. Demí
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Wasn't allowed to remove him as he's such a popular player and there was no official word on him being out, and he's trolled before.

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

        Yep, would've been carnage on here had he started...

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

        Oh, okay 🙂 You must have been pretty sure to sell him though,surely?

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

      To get an advantage over the rest of us.

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

      Cmon Spurs!

    8. Lord Flashheart

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

    So the next news we need is how long is Costa out for? Will Mawreen tell before or after the match

  19. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Siggy off bench for Costa
    ADM VC
    I'm happy enough

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

      Nice

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

    No Aguero. Costa not playing. ADM captain. Lloris benched.

    This week needs to take a turn for the better come 3pm kick offs.

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

      Costa not playing? source?

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

    Silva's having a bit of a mare 😯

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

    People shouldn't give out about others having Costa (c) Aguero (vc). It was a shrewd move.

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

      Yeah, right thing to do imo

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Risky. Aguero(c) was the sensible choice.

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

        Well I did that. But just sayin

    3. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      True, but not as shrewd as spotting that the Telegraph had inside info and replacing Costa with a likely scorer. 😉

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

        Well played EJ
