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 took a screenshot of my ranking. Won't ever be this high again thats for sure. No idea how to get Aguero in either....

  5. JWF

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Now Spurs are dead and buried Aguero may as well go and get a couple more. So disappointed with Silva.

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

      I have him too, and he is always dissapointing

    2. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Could of had an assist for the missed pen. He hasn't been that bad tbh

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

        I thought he was very poor. Kept giving the ball away.

    Under 24% of the top 10k have Aguero.
    I don't care how many of them get a VC because of Costa.

    Huuuge green arrow on the way 😀

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

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

      Was one of the goals from the penalty rebound I'm guessing?

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

        No, he blazed that one over too

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

        NO, he missed the rebound

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

          Wow. Feel like I chose the wrong game to miss!

  9. Owd Big 'Ed

    Am I greedy for wanting more?

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

      Yes

      Is that bad? Certainly not with a defense like Tottenham's.

  10. Mr Tin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hating myself right now. Hovered over the Costa to Aguero switch at 11.29 and bottled it. Would have captained him too. Boo hoo.

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      if you vc him, you'd be fine mate.

  11. Sheep Flavour

    Newcastle v Foxes game may be called off at the very least 30 min delay due to a telly flapping in the wind.

    There needs to be a 'structural assessment' of the TV screen. If can't be made safe, the game will be off. #nufc

    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Costa had himself captain in FPL, Aguero VC. That's why he stayed on he bus, cheeky b@stard.

    1. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years

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

    Only positive is most of my ml rivals don't have Aguero and I have 2FT's to get him in. But this game week is going to be one huuuuuge red arrow

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

    WR I did say another half for Aguero.

  19. Green Arrow
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

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

      This is beyond awful.

      Thoughts on merits of transferring out Costa, Di Maria?

  22. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I own aguero. Still feel sick as a non captainer

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

  23. Mikeharbrw
    • 12 Years

    • 14 Years

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

    Aguero (c) was never in doubt. Had him locked in since the end of GW 7

      • 13 Years
