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.

        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Nah...only 13% ownership. Not more than 6-7% would have him (c) and (vc).

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

          I have him, but not (c) or (vc). Yes, I'm regretting it.

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

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

        With a good GW to follow, you could easily be in the top 150k by the end.

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers. It has honestly been more than a season since I've been there so I will take any green arrow.

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

      Hell yeah.

      I'm delighted.

      Just need Pelle to go mental too

    8. Saniul
      • 13 Years

      High lots

  9. Lidcombestaysh
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Have a feeling Pelle will be on fire today

  10. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ah, time for the annual event in which I utterly destroy my team to own Aguero.

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It's depressing.

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

        Aye, needs must.

        Time to assess if I hold onto gorilla face and swap out Pelle or do the straight swap for Costa to Kun.

    2. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      the only silver lining for me. cant get him for free, for now

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        can*

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

        I have options to do it for free but not sure if it'll be the best route to go. Some thinking required.

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

      Imagine those who have Baines and Ivan at the back, nothing in the bank, and Costa/Pelle/Welbz up front 😆

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

        (With only 1 FT)

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

          Thankfully not one of them 😉

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

      Missing his haul against Norwich last season was the beginning of the end of my season last year. Never again.

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

        Aye, the important thing here is he's scoring more than one from open play. Indicates he's stepping back up to the level he's usually at, best striker in the PL.

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

          I'm just glad he's justifying me removing Costa in GW3 🙄

          He's been simmering for weeks now.

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

      This 🙁

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

        Was quite content with my team as well! Think I have lovely balance but going to have to give it a big think now!

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

          That is the way, was very content myself. He's such a Kun(t)

    6. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Just in time for a injury probably

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

        You know it 😎

  11. Capt. Krypton
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    1. DRY PEANUT

        11 years, 3 months ago

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

      • rohan
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

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

        32 points with 10 to play
        On a 364 point Gameweek
        That would be a Record

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

          38 after bonus.

      • Mr Smith
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Any baps for Jovetic(c)? 😕

      • FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Newcastle game off would be good IMO. I would like double GW

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

          Wouldn't mind it either tbh, as long as the double came soon

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

            Won't be until after Christmas I reckon.

            Anyone remember when that Sunderland one was a couple years ago? Sprinklers went crazy or something.

            Chelsea ones have been after Christmas.

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

          High chance it'll be cancelled?

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

          Schlupp DGW punt sounds tasty

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

        4. pundit of punts
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Why? What's happening there?

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

          Rather not. Foster would come in for Krul

      • Game of Stones
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Newcastle game will be delayed, no supporters are allowed at the stadium yet.

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

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

        Tadic brace, Baines brace, Ivan hattrick, Clyne trio of assists. Then I will be happy.

      • McSauce
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Waited 2 weeks for fantasy football. Decided to hold off on Aguero and now I hate fantasy again!! FML

      • EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Lol @ Costa thinking he would just walk to the golden boot award

      • Baby Cuties
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Been a manic few days - never noticed the Costa news

        When was it released?

        So this is was it feels like to be a casual

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

        Anyone reckon that Sterling will not have awoken from his slumber by tomorrow?

        Sterling C
        Aguero VC

      • Lidcombestaysh
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I'm in top 30k in the world without aguero this week! Was very close to trading costa for him an hour before shut out! Spewing!

        1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

      • Mikeharbrw
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Think international football apart from the wc and the euros should be cancelled

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

          Andy surely qualifiers for those tournaments?

        2. The Machine
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          so how on earth would teams qualify?

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

        3. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Suits you well with all that bragging regarding your captains mate. Sorry but that is faith 🙁 |

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