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.

    I really hope RVP goes nuts against WBA or I'm going to be quite annoyed I opted to be different and pick him last week over Aguero ha

    This gw will be interesting as all Kun captainers will rocket up the charts tonight while all Costa captainers will drop.

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

    Haha.. I'm watching the match on the TV and my girlfriend is watching some show on her laptop, look over to her and she has tears in her eyes and I have to ask her; "I see you're happy that I have Aguero as captain"

    1. JWF
      • 16 Years

      🙂

      She's probably a Spurs fan.

    Commentator on BT sports....

    Big moment in the game, Soldado's penalty miss.

    REALLY? ??

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

      Would have been 2-2

    2. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Well it was. He would have levelled the game up and probably wouldn't have ended the same way.

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

        Exactly. ..you failed to spot my sarcastic tone

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

          You failed to deliver sarcasm

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

      yes

    4. radawson
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Obviously

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

      I think he was being sarcastic but knew it was an important turn in the game

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

    Thanks Kun 🙂

  13. Kerz

    Pelle + Baines > Aguero + Chambers

    good thing I have 2 FTs...

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

      Big knee jerk...

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

      You don't have Costa? He is injured possibly for 3 weeks also.. you should wait and see

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

    Right so Kun looks essential then. Will need to downgrade the defense to get him though. Who's the top defender 4.5m or under for the next two weeks? Wisdom? Chambers is 0.1m higher than I can afford.

    Pardew has performed a tactical master class with the scoreborard

  16. Moin

    Common Welbeck score 5 goals!

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

      this

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years

      Hope so.

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

    38 points for Aguero. Di Maria (C) must save me since Costa ain't playing.

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

      same.

  18. John t penguin

    Might just write this game week off
    Down to last man on bench already

  19. 1314
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    It looks funny that u have 32 points so far and only 1 player is playing 😀

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

    Kun................................t

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

    In all my mini-leagues, only one player has Aguero (captained him) - but no damage done from no captain. Di Maria to destroy West Brom now.

  22. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Kun will come off soon for his standing ovation 😉

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

      Best player in the league!

  23. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I feel so evil, checking all the minileagues for non aguero owners

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

    Pelle > aguero
    Sterling > Diame

    Unless Costa is out for another week

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

      I'm looking to lose those two too, but Eriksen.

  27. PMC3

    38 points last week, looks like Aguero will get that himself for me this week. 1 week is a long time in fantasy.

    This is going to be George Boyd's day with so many getting him off the bench

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

      If he scores it will be amazing he's coming off my bench

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

    Who is coming off the bench for Costa?
    Noble here.
