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.

    At least most will have to take a hit to get Aguero 🙂

      lol yes!

    Should I do Dzeko âž¡ Welbeck and Costa âž¡ Aguero for -4?

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

      Depends on how long costa is out for.

    Awful team selection from an idiotic manager. Some of the poorest refereeing decisions I have ever seen. This is what has contributed to Aguero's haul

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

      bullshit

      Indeed. But we are still in the shit.

      2 out of 3 were pens..he scored 2 out of 3

    4. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Kun owner?

  4. joinho
    • 16 Years

    So who's captained Aguero?

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

      oh yes

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

      Meeeeee

    3. Wirtzle Gummidge

      o

      Can't raise my hand as I am trying to keep my pants fastened.

    4. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      yep, also have eriksen

    5. Rassi
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      o/

      Also transferred Costa out. Good times!

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

      o/
      3rd time this season even. Getting what I deserve after he was denied 2 clear penalties last time.

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

      Not only did I captain him, I sold Fabregas for Chadli to buy him...love Tottenham going forward and that Fab won't have Costa to help him rack up assists. I have been on the other side of this sort of 3 standard deviation event...nice to be on the right side for a change!

  5. Ludo

    Aguero will be the top scoring player in FPL tonight.

    1. DRY PEANUT
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You deserve a GCSE for this

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

        Overall, I mean. After the 3 BPs, he'll be on 56 points, Costa on 54.

  6. Blue Lion
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    This is why you should always captain Costa! 😀

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

      And have Aguero (vc) 😉

      1. Blue Lion
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yep..yep! 🙂

  7. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Loving that most in my mini-league don't even own Aguero 🙂

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years

  8. Return Of Chamakh
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Urgh, that last minute captain change from aguero to costa looks dumb right now... Massively hoping costa is rested all game now! Super unlikely I think...

    1. JWF
      • 16 Years

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

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

        =500k people

    What's the website that gives statistics on the top 10k versus everyone else?

      1. JasonG123

      FPL discovery. Doesn't say VCs unfortunately.

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yep, still only 23% in top 10k have him so should be a big jump in the rankings for those captaining him!

  21. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years

    Costa (C) does it again. 😉 😎

  22. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Big question for non-owner of Aguero will be ... keep or sell Costa ?

    So, keep or sell ?

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

      keep. My front line will be Costa, Kun, Pellé

  23. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

      There has been problems around the ground this afternoon. The turnstiles remained closed at 1410 because of a safety issue with a new big screen installed at St James' Park during the international break.

    5. Courtois in the Rye
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I do hope lots of people sell Costa for Aguero with a hit this week.

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

      Im hiring a hitman to kill every single person who told me not to do Costa>Aguero...Im so hacked off right now. Costa better do me justice if he plays

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He's not playing.

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

          Might get that hitman to kill me too ðŸ™
