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.

  1. Obi Wan Elokobi

    11 years, 3 months ago

    That's nice my two goalkeepers are Krul and Schmeichel.

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

      Ouch.

  2. Back to Back Ballacks
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is Mane on Soton bench?

  3. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    A lot of casuals will sell costa for Aguero now, is this a good or a bad thing ?

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Own both

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

        This. It'll pay off when Costa comes back and they have to rip up their team (again) when he picks up where he left off.

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

        Me too

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

      Depends, I'm waiting until pressers to decide whether to sell Costa. I had planned to bring in Baines this GW but that may have to change.

    3. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Milner owner. 🙁

      Oh James.

  4. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Exact money for Costa ➡ Aguero

    Do I pull the trigger..?

    1. Robbens Diving Instructor
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Too late

    2. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No. You need both.

  5. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Thank u kun , for making my weekend. Time to rip it up!!

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

    Aguero(c) would have got 50pts without the pen miss 😯

    Ok, I know the game would have been different if he scored but still...

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

      Wow

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

      He'll still get 38

      a fairly tidy haul

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

      Would've got 62 in UFPL

      1. NapalmDeath (Northern Chaos…
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I'm surprised by his relatively low ownership in UFPL.

        42 will still skyrocket up the OR

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

          Indeed. I've got him and ADM as brilliant differentials.

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

            😡

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

              Unlucky mate 🙁

              If I miss out on the grand by a couple of points I'm gonna be mad as hell

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

                Rightly so (unless you miss out to another Aguero captainer of course)

  7. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Score check anyone?

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

      32 🙂

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

      38 from 1. Any good?

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

      0 if you don't count Aguero!

    4. flipperallstars
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      45 from 2

  8. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ok aguer score a 5, i deserve this for neglecting you. 🙁

  9. Wings Fan
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Feeling smug at the moment...it won't last. Some kind of horror-show awaits for the rest of my side, I'm sure

  10. TJ
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Could have had 50 points if Aguero didn't miss pen 🙁 Shower me with sympathy.

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I feel you pain, so unfair 🙁

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

        Even Defoe managed that..

  11. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is Mane on the bench?

  12. TheSteady ¤ Wines th…
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ben Arfa to score at 23/4

    Value? 😀

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

      I would bet on that!

  13. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Sake I own Ulloa... 😡

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

    As a non Aguero owner the only comfort I can take is that he doesn't get to play Spurs every week.

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      yeah, concede 3 peno r u kidding.................

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

    Lloris 1 bap.

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

    Please do not buy Kun, please!

  17. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is it time to let Silva go from my team? Have him since the beginning...

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

      I think I'm going to. Navas looks way more threatening if you want a City midfielder (as does Milner!).

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

      Yep

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

      he's out of my team to finance the Kun transfer.

  18. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    We should have started Drogba with Remy and gone 4-4-2.

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

    Is Aguero on for getting the 3 bonus pts?

    gready 🙂

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

      By a country mile.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  20. Del Griffith
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Wish Kun could play Spurs every week ...

  21. chrrizzy
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Was thinking of bringing a Spurs defender in starting next week, good idea or after this performance I should stay away?

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

      Was thinking the same. Now I think Eriksen is the only spurs player I want to own.

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

      I was bringing in Kaboul. Instead I may keep chester.

  22. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Funny, how no one cares about Aguero's hamstring any more.

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

      Oh it's due. But he scored 17 goals last season "injured". He's a bit good.

    2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      What's to care?

      Fit - captain
      Injured - transfer
      Gets injured during match - transfer and curse a bit (but remember the million times he saved you)

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

    Is Aguero injured?

  24. Wej
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Does anybody know the highest ever individual points score in FPL?

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

      Rooney

    2. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Defoe or barbaric surely?

      1. Az
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Barbaric. Ha. Berbatov

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

      Didn't Lampard score 4 and some assists once? 50+

    4. Wej
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      In one gameweek I mean

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

      Think it was Lampard 5 goals and assist or something

    6. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      In a single GW, I think it was Walcott with 26 a few seasons back.

      In a DGW, Roonpig with 20+12 = 32 (most captained him too).

  25. United13
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    2 points from 1.

    #greatstart

  26. andres

    Is costa on the bench?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      no

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

    Haha someone in my ML has Costa (c) and Ulloa (vc) hope it's called off somehow! 😛

  28. Koflok
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    if Ox scores a brace, I will sooooo happy

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

    Most people without will obviously want Kun after this match but it's Lloris thats the standout pick for me.

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

      ...

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

      You're an idiot then he's not going to save penalties every week.

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

        No that second half save from Aguero was sublime, played brilliantly at times.

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

      Kompany for me

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

      Always planned to bring in Kaboul/Rose this GW. Lloris is amazing.

  30. FootballManiac
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    any starting defenders for 3.9m? Steven Taylor?
