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.

    Pelle or Welbeck? Might switch him up. I can see a Welbeck rout today.

    In hindsight Ishould have done Costa to Aguero might end up doing that this week would just be a week too late 🙁

      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

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

        Yeah he played really well. Unlucky with some of his final passes and not to score.

      2. Mo Mané Mo Problems

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

    I hate Spurs defenders!

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

      Dier is an ultimate troll 😆

  8. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is Aguero set for any bonus points?

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      should get a couple

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

      Really? You really have to ask? He scored four goals. 3 BAPs locked in.

      1. The Finnisher
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Is that because of the winning goal BPS?

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

          Yup, that just sees him scrape all 3.

    3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years

    4. Kerz

    5. Bob.
      • 15 Years

    6. Railwayman
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

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

    So early plans for next GW

    DDG and Costa/Naismith ➡ Lloris and Berahino

    a bit annoyed that Lloris in will now seem like a kneejerk

    1. Think Tank
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Spurs defence is a shambles - aside from today, they look poor.

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

    38 from 1, is that good? 😉

    1. Owd Big 'Ed
      • 16 Years

    2. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

        • 12 Years

    I told this guy to take a -4 for Aguero, 5 minutes before he went up 0.1 last night 😀 He should've listened to me, even after a gallon of vino

    It is soooo bad when you don't have huge haul player in your squad. It happens really rare in FPL. 3 - 4 times in a season. Huge ranking swing unless Welbeck rips it. And none of my 3 main rivals don't own Kun. What could have been 🙁

  16. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Costa--->Cisse/Lukaku before game....what I should've done 🙄

    Please blank Cisse/Lukaku or GET A GOAL FROM MY BENCH CHESTER!!

  17. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years

    Never has a referee had such an impact on fantasy football.

    Well done aguero (c) and those getting the vc though

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      He should have stuck at the drumming with Culture Club.

    lol @ spuds

  19. Belli2007

    Looking forward to some Boyd points off the bench then!!!

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      This

  20. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Apparently the giant scoreboard has come loose at St James' Park and they're refusing to let fans in until they're sure its safe.

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

      Call it off then, thats not getting fixed in an hour

  21. BruLee
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero 3bps?

    Go Haz (c)

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

      Go cesc!!!!

  22. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Had enough cash for Costa to Aguero for free but decided not to do it at the last second and let Vardy play instead 🙂 .. gotta laugh sometimes

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

      did you play Eriksen?

  23. Mikeharbrw
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Lloris better than spurs I think. If Madrid don't get Cech in January I'd be concerned if I was a spurs fan

    1. Long Juan Silva
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Madrid have Keylor Navas. It's not a given that they'll buy a keeper

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

    No matter who the coach is spurs will never change.

    1. Brutus619
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      They had their big chance after Bale left and I thought at the time they did a good job with the money. But Soldado has really let them down and Paulinho hasn't been anywhere near as good as I hoped.

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

    40 from 2 any good?

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

      38 from 1 is better 😉

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

    UFPL: If New v Lei gets cancelled, Falcao Sterling DDG come in automatically and my captain switches to Aguero. Well..

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

      can a game be canceled because the a wasn't working?

  27. joinho
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Not owning Aguero I now really hope Falcao gets a brace

  28. vice
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If you had a strikeforce of Costa Welbeck and Pelle, would you sell any of them for Aguero for a hit (Costa for free)?

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

      Sell welly

  29. Captain Berbarossa - arrrrr…
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If only Aguero put in that penalty he missed, it would have been a 50 point haul from him 😀

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      But the match would've played out differently had he scored.

      Butterfly effect init

  30. davies
    • 11 Years

    I shall be very pissed off if this Leicester game gets called off.

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

      Why? What happen?

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Giant electric scoreboard has come loose. It's not safe.

        1. 1966 was a great year for E…
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Bought it from Sports Direct.

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

            lol

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

          Ah, ok! Will probably get delay I guess

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      What's wrong with it?

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

        New mega screen thing is going to fall over.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Let it fall. Those are the risks they take, bunch of pansies.

      2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Newcastle bought flat screen from sports direct with a loan from Wonga. fecked

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          😀

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Looks a minor problem.. just a lil delay by the looks of it. Not happy with the team he's put out.. No Marhrez, Vardy and Nugent.. Ulloa gonna be so alone and exposed upfront. Albrighton gets his full debut in an away game? Can see Vardy coming on in the 2nd half and terrorisin em though
