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.

    Is a Chadli-goal in injury-time too much to ask? He comes off the bench for Costa:/

  3. Slash

    3. The Machine
      • 12 Years

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        No, they deserve the points!

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

      Yep. Nothing jammy about it though, a well thought out choice. Ha, I did tell ye to do it. 🙂

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      At least you were accepted into a team. I got turned down 🙂

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

        I'd have let you in 🙂

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

    Should I do Costa to Aguero or get both Costa and Aguero in the team?

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

      I have both but might have to get rid of Costa.. wait for news

    2. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Preferrably both.

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

        Any idea how long Costa is out for?

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

      Get both. Captain whoever plays at home.

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

        Yup - question is just how long Costa is out for.

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

    Not captaining Aguero in UFPL is going to hurt. A lot.

  9. Lloyd Xmas
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Well done all Aguero owners and Capt'ners.
    *Speaks through gritted teeth*

    People still going for baines and ivan over aguero?

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

      I could have got all 3 on WC, went for Welbeck instead of Ivanovic do

    2. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Shush

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

      I have all 3

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

    Aguero (C) fail

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

      I know, should've converted all his penalties. That's -6/-7 right there 🙁

      😉

  12. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Welbeck, Fabregas, Moreno to Aguero, Downing, Chambers for -4 hit?

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

    Gonna be a massive score rank adjust after the kun (vc) get allocated

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

      Nope. Only 7% have him as VC.

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

        Awesome!

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

        7% in top 10k only

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

      To people that got Aguero into their team because Rooney got suspended, or because Costa was a doubt, or that has Costa(C) and Aguero(VC); lucky fkkers..

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

      Won't be half as bad as you think

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

    Di Maria will be the most owned player in this gameweek, MNF will be very consequential this week

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

    Aguero BPS 90

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Pathetic.
      🙂

    2. Lloyd Xmas
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Poor player , that's why !

  16. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Non aguero owner

    Non costa owner

    Red arrow owner

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

      Well, non Costa is very good this week. Aguero's ownership isn't that big, no reason it won't be green if your players perform.

  17. andres
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is costa on the bench??

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nope

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

    Whilst I don't wish ill on him, a "proper" Costa injury would be useful. Could downgrade him to Welbeck and finally be able to get Baines in

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

    Just the 89 on the bps indicator for sergio

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

    If that's not a penalty then why did Lampard get his? Wouldn't have mattered anyways though

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

    What's welbeck a ownership? Would love a haul from him, and Tadic!

        • 15 Years

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Who did you captain ?

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

  24. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

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

  25. Heydudes13

  26. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    is 68 points too much to bring back you all think? Aguero has killed me..i took him out 3 weeks ago on wildcard

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

      Not at all, as long as you don't keep making those decisions!

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        lol..i just want to cry.

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

      Easily. Keep the faith (oh, and buy him back!)

  27. Respect My Authoritah
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I did say he'd get 2 more! 38 not too shabby, if he scores that pen, probably get taken off at 60 mins

  28. Oflow
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is Newcastle game seriously off?

  29. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ref is a plonker.

    So inconsistent.

    If you gave the Lampard one, give the Rose one..

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

    Aguero is so lucky, three goals from three penalties.

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

      Unlucky really, he missed one.

    2. Owd Big 'Ed
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Two goals from penalties. One penalty miss.

      Numerous shots and chances.

      Another two quality finishes.

      Yeah, well lucky...

    3. Raddy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      2 goals from penalties, 2 from open play..

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

      2 goals from 3 penalties*

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

      He could have had 6 or 7 easily!
