It's been a week to forget for Aidan, Billy and Tom as they discuss all things Sky Sports Fantasy Football. We're all delighted (yes, absolutely delighted, honest) that it is another international break but it gives us time to have a look at our teams and work out any changes to be made. The team look back on last week's results and some of the standout performers who continue to shine as the weeks progress. The likes of Tammy Abraham, John McGinn and Ricardo Pereira are discussed as we look to find those bargain buys to go forward with. Of course, the football will eventually return though and there's some tough runs ahead - particularly for Crystal Palace that will want to make you take out every single Palace player in your squad. Fear not though! We're here to guide you through every step of the way...

Tom Carnduff, Billy Lumsden and Aidan Smith are back discussing all things Sky Sports Fantasy Football. After a week in which we were in no doubt that Manchester City players would all earn loads of points, we're left to reflect on the next-to-nothing tally they returned. For Billy, his selection of Aston Villa's Frédéric Guilbert proved to be the correct one and saved his weekend, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang secured over 50% of the points in Tom's team. Nicolas Otamendi may have gifted their third goal on Saturday, but it was still a decent weekend for the City centre-back and that left the bragging rights with Aidan. Who to pick for the next round of fixtures? We discuss the action on each day.
