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.

    Nobody could see Aguero scoring 4 today. Maybe a brace but wow...what a player. Want to bring him in but I'm scared of him being rotated and him picking up an injury.

      my rule is, if he's fit he's in my team and I'll deal with the injuries as they come.

    Damn Sky game. I really wanted Kun, but I decided against it because it's 'Wasting a transfer'.

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

    Costa's price is going to bomb, tricky decision coming up.

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

    Just a lousy 11 shots, 10 in the box and 8 on target for Aguero in that match. 😯

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

      Incredible! Can't believe people say he's lucky, he's obviously world-class

    2. The Finnisher
      • 14 Years

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

    Chances of a Pelle brace?

  15. Saniul
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Just a slight LED issue.

    Will be a delayed start, but the match will probably happen.

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

    1. Brian (Not the Messiah)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      gonna do really badly this week with no Aguero.

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

    Newcastle should just stop the fans who are near the scoreboard coming in.

    If they call the game off they dumb

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

      'They dumb'

      The irony...

  18. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    38 from 1 is good

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

    Right then just the 5 goals needed Welbeck no pressure

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

      +1

  20. emperikal
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Need Pelle and Welbeck to bag a hatrick each to save me from dropping like a stone. Not much to ask for surely

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

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years

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

    1. Brian (Not the Messiah)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

    2. Scab
      • 12 Years

    • 11 Years

    Currently sitting at 80,000 in the world. Got a decent team and still got wildcard.

    What's a reasonable target position for end of season?

    Got Aguero (c) too 😉

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

      1

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

      Top 5-10k

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

    Typical just checked head to head league and out of 22 teams only two of us that own aguero and also captained are playing each other!

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

    Agueros haul as captain today makes up for how unlucky he has been since GW3 when i bought him. Should have has a handful more goals this season prior to today.

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

      should have about 10 today

    1 down, many to go :p

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

    Based on what I've seen might do:

    Sterling>Henderson or Downing
    Pelle/Welbeck>Aguero

    Or I can simply just do: Costa>Aguero if Costa is out

    #NUFC can confirm that there is a short delay in turnstiles opening whilst an issue with the new LED screen is addressed. Update to follow.

    We will bring you updates including any information on turnstiles and a revised kick-off time as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience.

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

    Steven Taylor back in the Newcastle team at 3.9m looks to be a nice bargain if you need the extra 0.1m

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
