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.

    If Kun stayed fit for a season he would score 40.

    Thoughts?

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

      If a BIG IF

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

      Maybe.

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

      Certainly not, Man City would start resting him at one point.

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

      The way he plays now, yes absolutely.

      You must assume that he plays 90 every game though.

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

        Does he even though? Obviously I'm assuming everything goes his way, but if he scores 1 goal even on his 10 minute cameos (this season really) and then 2/3/4 every now and then, he'll hit 40+

  2. HNI

    Special Thanks to my fellow football scout followers for making me go with 38pt captain Aguero. That along with previous matches of 6-0 and 5-1 Mancity wins against tottenham strengthened my decision.Stats really dont lie have to admit 🙂
    Thnks again!

  3. Evs

    I hope Costa is out for a few weeks, shake it up a little bit 😉

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

      that would make getting aguero too easy for some

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

        +1

        If he's fine then people will have to tear apart their teams to get him.

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

        This. I hope he's back next week

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

      Will help actually! will help to get Baines too!

    3. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      That would be really better for fpl

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

      Will make it easy for straight swap Costa>Kun

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

      Think it would be most interesting if he's a doubt next week but plays. Means his ownership will drop but he'll still be a good pick and people won't have easy routes to Aguero and co.

  4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    people who transferred in cisse shaking in their boots

    1. The Machine

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

      I shipped Costa for him. This is an awful wait.

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

      Yep. Very unfortunate if it's cancelled.

  5. Kerrazy

    Including vice captain information:

    - 17.2% of top 10k have Agüero captain
    - 8.4% of all players have Agüero captain

    Great differential all round then, well done to all fellow captainers.

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

      That 17.2% are now the top 1720 players 🙂

    2. Railwayman

      Where are these stats ?

  11. Valar(Keith)

    the planned Vardy to Berahino has somehow got to become Vardy to Aguero 😯 .. good thing i've got 2 FTs

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Naismith to Berahinho 😎

    2. Demí

      Vardy not nailed after all then

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years

        mad team sheet.. albrighton 😯 .. not sure what Pearson's thought process is

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

          Mahrez not in squad either 🙁

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

            International duty I guess.

            I transferred him in. He's way down my bench, but still...

      2. getfunky
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        he's only started three games this season

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

    Right I can get a front 7

    ADM Siggy Fabs Hendo

    Costa Falcao Aguero

    for a -4

    But am I better waiting to see what news there is on Costa?

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

      Yes definitely. What if Costa is ruled out for a while?

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

        I'll torch an orphanage 👿

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

          😆

          Best to wait. If Costa is ruled out then Costa > Aguero for free works brilliantly (at least for me).

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

            Yeah I can do it as well, 2 FTs so would need to make up 0.8 but that's very very manageable.

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

      Question is how long you can wait before value starts going down?

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

        That is the issue really.

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

          I figure we can wait 1 day atleast? As Costa is 11.2 right now so a 0.1 drop is okay. Question is can Aguero go up today itself?

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

            He can and I guarantee you he will.

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

              Man. He just went up yesterday though.

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

    at best Kun (c) accounts for 9% after auto-subs, assuming that the 5% with Kun vc all had Costa (c)

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

      The actual stats are on FPL discovery

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

    IF that Soldado penalty hadnt miss, it wouldve been a totally different story.

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

      Even if Aguero had scored his second pen.

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

        If the ref wasn't a complete numpty...

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

      If Kun didn't play, he would have had 0 point!

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

      Yeah Aguero would have scored 5

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

    Time for Hazard to step up and fill in for Costa today.

  16. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    To complete this perfect day Hutton to score and keep a clean sheet.my Costa c auto sub. Aguero vc

  17. Kerrazy
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hart isnt known for his penalty saving record and Soldado never missed a pen before in PL. but thats football, and life. 🙁

  18. Walsh
    • 12 Years

    I hate it when people come on here to just brag. Anyway, go Palace 😀

  20. jordinho23

    Have Aguero (c) and Costa. Best thing bout having KUN as captain is that people around me don't have him haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa sweet music baby!

    1. emperikal
      • 15 Years

  21. Piggs Boson

    The sign looks to be fixed. Game on.

    4 goals please (C)isse! 😀

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years

      It's a sign!

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

      Being a Costa shipper almost feels like I have captained him. Papiss, make us proud!

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

    Aguero 38 points, it's good... but not quite Walcott 😉

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

    Let's go Cisssssseeeee

  24. davies

    Rumors suggest a 16:00 kickoff for New-Lei game.

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

      brilliant... get to watch vardy come on off the leicester bench straight after the soton game 🙂

  25. Kerrazy
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Triple rise on the cards for Kun then?

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

      For sure

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

      Well if anything can get a triple rise this year it's a Kun haul coupled with a Costa injury.

  26. JMason57

    worth it? .

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

    If Costa is back fit then this is hard to look beyond as a front seven:

    Fabregas - Sterling - Sigurdsson - Di Maria

    Costa - Aguero - Welbeck/Pelle

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

      That's eight.

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

        Only if you don't know what a forward slash is.

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

      I have that apart from Tadic instead of ADM as I have Baines at the back

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

    a lot of people on here, owners and non owners, had been saying the past few weeks that a big haul is coming for Aguero. The fact he played the full 90 mins is brilliant. He is fully fit and hopefully can stay injury free for these kind fixtures City have

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

    Moore coming in for Costa if Zaha no show. Must remember not celebrate cs at 5.50 🙂

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

      Boyd coming in for me and a nice captain switch to Kun
