Find your seats quickly – Saturday’s match action is just minutes away with United putting pride on the line at Goodison in a noon kick-off. With that in mind, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is already open, soaking up your reactions from now, right through to this evening as all the day’s matches unfold…

The “traitor” Wayne Rooney returns to the club he once called home to kick off our bumper package of Premier League football. Teams in full are…

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Baines, Jagielka, Heitinga, Bilyaletdinov, Osman, Coleman, Rodwell, Fellaini, Saha

United XI: De Gea, Jones, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Fletcher, Cleverley, Park, Welbeck, Rooney, Hernandez

While the half-time oranges are being devoured up at Goodison Park another big game kicks off at 12:45 as Chelsea welcome Fernando Torres back to the fold for the visit of Arsenal to Stamford Bridge.

The action then kicks into top gear with another five fixtures scheduled to festoon the three o’clock hours with all sorts of action – closest eyes will inevitably be on how much “rest” and rotation Roberto Mancini affords his City side at home to Wolves ahead of their crucial trip to (recently Guissepe Rossi-less) Villarreal in midweek.

The eighth and final fixture of the day sees the Dugout Discussion screen Roy Hodgson against the side that threw him overboard like flotsam and jetsam – whether Luis Suarez has recovered from his Carling Cup heroics will undoubtedly be keen on many minds.

    Having shipped Suarez out in frustration and injury worries, then had a horrific GW, I would normally be hoping he failed today. I doubt I'm the only one lol. But it's so disappointing watching players fail - heck knows I just watched 8 do that - and I respect Suarez's insane talent ... so I can say GO, SUAREZ GO! NO REGRETS!

          That's called knee-jerk.You need to weigh the pros and cons thoroughly before making a move. Then you should make a move.Mata against a weak Arsenal defence, as it was considered ,would certainly leak a few goals, so the common sense would have pointed to not to ship him out.

            Yea I did weigh them actually...consistency, form, MP, etc. 😛

            Also, Silva (a must-have) was rising in price vigorously. At last he did by 0.2 this GW & I would not have been able to afford him. My only other option was to switch Nani, which at that point seemed to be stupid having gone through his tough fixtures. But now, Nani seems to be too prone to rotation.

      I'm keeping him for one more work. Hopefully he starts next Sat and does something..seems sensibly to have one United player as there is surely going to be an Old Trafford backlash against Sunderland.

      Got rid of Rooney..for better or worse..as he seems to be playing deeper and deeper..

      After Suarez plays SWA next week, I'm looking to ship him for Aguero. I think I'm downgrading Nani to raise the funds. Probably for Laarson.

      He has great fixtures, are you sure you want to sell? With VDV & Silva already the only alternative I would suggest in the price range is Mata (who will rise in price after his goal and assist) but Chelsea have some tough games coming. If you're set on selling him maybe go for a 6-6.5 and upgrade attack.

    Looking at next week's tv matches, Wolves are playing Wigan. I have no players from either side. At last this season I can watch a game on tv as a neutral and hopefully relax and enjoy...not just concentrating on one player and praying a goal only goes in if he is involved and missing the overall picture! I mean today's early tv match was an absolute classic but I couldn't enjoy it properly coz of Sturridge and Ramsey not getting any FF rewards?!!! And tomorrow I'll be on edge as I'm captaining VDV.

    Does anybody else here also actually look forward to watching a game where you have no FF players?

            Spurs have good games but there can be surprises but i think that Adebayor is going to score some goals.

    in pre-season everyone, including myself, questuoned the pricing of suarez at 9.5 but it has turned out to be a great pricing by fpl. compared to rvp, rooney, and aguero suarez has been dormant with the odd assist or goal. however he could do much much more damage.
