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.

    If Yaya took scored those 3 penalties there would be so much "Lucky Yaya this, jammy Yaya that"

      Would have been Rodwell, but I swapped him for Falcao. 😉

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

      George Boyd 😎

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

    Cue everybody selling Silva for his goal and assist v West Ham. I hate owning him.

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

    WE WANT SOME MORE. WE WANT SOME MORE. WE WANT SOME MORE

      🙄

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

    Remember when Yaya was getting all these points?

  16. Kerz
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Only 4% captained him, or 10% of the top 10k lads, keep faith

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

      That will go to 20%+ when the VC kicks in

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

      Loads of VC though

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

      but how many VC?

    4. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      And only 13.7% ownership

    5. Thick Of It
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      How about VC Costa owners?

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

    Poch better fakes Vertonghen wasn't fully fit. Kaboul and Fazio have been ridiculed today.
    In their defence: spurs' defending from midfield was arguably even worse.

  18. Mata-Is-The-Juan
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Points for Kun?

    Also it's safe to assume Kun's getting all 3bps right?

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

      15 including 3 BAPS

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

      15 points unless he scores or assists more

  19. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Silva brought off at 70 and out of my team.

  20. RoyaleBlue
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Dam it I'm guessing most people's vice was Aguero :/ . Anyone else on Di Maria with me ??

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Me, and regretting not putting Costa (c) Aguero (vc) but thought this would be much tighter with Poch managing Spurs.

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

      Sadly I am - every time I captain Aguero he lets me down - so opted for Di Maria ......Damn you Aguero! lol

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

    Why did I let the early kick off sway me 🙁

  22. Punty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Lol look at match details for city-spurs in FPL.. it's a page long:D

  23. Game of Stones
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Costa is NOT on the bench people!

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

      Do keep up

  24. Duffer
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I'm actually happy captain Costa is out since aguero is vice. Got lucky there.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      +1

  25. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Costa (c) Aguero (vc) seems to be working out well then.

    None of my ml rivals have Aguero either.

    This had been a nice start to the weekend. 🙂

  26. JWF
    • 16 Years

    New captain policy: Penalty-taker in any game with Jon Moss as the ref. Simples.

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

      Soldado (C) 😯

    Does this mean Tadic is occupying the hole? Because that'd be amazing
