This feels new. A Friday deadline, a Friday kick-off. While we cackle with the laugh of an evil genius at the prospect of mini-league rivals who may have been taken by surprise by today’s schedule, why not pop into the Dugout Discussion Chatroom to enjoy the unusual events of the day alongside your Fantasy Football peers.

Today’s single Premier League game is at the Liberty Stadium where the Swansea defence and possession game faces up to the league’s in-form striker – Papiss Cisse. This might well provide a tasty amuse-bouche before tomorrow’s main course.

There’s some rather interesting team news from the home side. Brendan Rodgers drops Danny Graham to the bench having watched the former Watford man fail to score in six, recalling Luke Moore to the starting lineup. Scott Sinclair, rather surprisingly, finds himself sitting next to Graham on the bench as Rodgers brings in Nathan Dyer and switches Wayne Routledge to the left-flank. We therefore presume that Gylfi Sigurdsson will be on spot-kicks. Andy is hovering over the Tweet button already.

As for Newcastle, James Perch shakes off a calf injury to take his place in a defence which includes the recalled Davide Santon. He starts at left-back with Jonas Gutierrez moving into the midfield three to replace the injured Danny Guthrie.

Enjoy the game. Don’t too much chocolate. Come and have a chat.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Even if Suarez miraculously scores a few this week he's still leaving my team, but for who?

    Ade or Cisse?

      Ade has better fixtures and did well last week.
      Cisse is in unbelievable form and is almost 2million cheaper.
      Really it's hard to know, both 🙂

    Must avoid knee jerk...Must avoid knee jerk.....Must avoid knee jerk - Please someone stop might it's like an addiction. An addiction i tell YOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!.

    My fingers are twitching, my eyes have widened. I feel like i must make a transfer to survive. This happens every time after a bad game (fpl wise). Hmmm i stare at the fpl screen but somehow manage to stop myself from clicking confirm.

    My heart says click the damn confirm button but my brain says wait for tomorrows games. Just wait FGS or you'll regret it.

    Damn this is such a hard game.

    PS: Join my H2H league.

      Good Afternoon. I would like to draw your attention to the curious case of the Cheap Awayday Midfielder, or “CAMF”, as we shall call it.

      This is the virulent disease that mid - to low-priced midfielders get, sometimes called Bashful Bonus Nabbing, or Not Tonight Josephinitis, the Josephines alluded to, being the frustrated Home Supporters. CAMF.

      The symptoms of CAMF have been well documented. As soon as the player gets on the Away Coach, their shyness falls away like scales from a dead fish, they start to give their Centre Forward the leery eye, they nudge their scoring Centre Back in the ribs with a wink; and when they get on the field of play they come all over with the flashy - but now suddenly accurate backheels - and start spraying around deadly crossfield balls with all the panache of a modern Charlie George.

      The incredibly painful effects are well-known, and do not need detailed documentation here. Suffice to say, the prognosis is poor scores, a bench with points “hanging out the back of it”, gnashing teeth, wailing fantasy players, clumps of hair interfering with the proper function of keyboards, casual transfers often done too early, and many, many other sorts of mayhem which shall remain thankfully private.

      We believe that the toxic virus CAMF is both contagious and infectious. The first known carrier is a certain Moses, but both Sigurdsson and Ben Arfa are confirmed with it, and we are sure that it will spread further.

      THERE IS NO CURE, PRESENTLY.

      If your team is dependent on one of these players, the only advice that we can offer is prayer.
