We start Gameweek 5 at the Liberty Stadium, as Michael Laudrup’s Swansea host Everton. The Dugout Discussion is open, so come in and follow all the day’s action amongst fellow fantasy football managers. The team news is in and there’s one or two surprises…

Swansea XI: Vorm, Rangel, Tate, Williams, Davies, Ki, de Guzman, Michu, Hernandez, Routledge, Graham.

Everton XI: Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Jagielka, Baines, Osman, Pienaar, Coleman, Fellaini, Mirallas, Anichebe.

Following their defeat at Aston Villa last time out, Nathan Dyer and Leon Britton drop to the bench with Ki Sung Yueng and Pablo Hernandez coming in.

Having scored on Monday night against Newcastle, Victor Anichebe earns a starting berth, replacing the injured Nikica Jelavic.

There’s another five Premier League fixtures to enjoy after Swansea and Everton do battle – so plenty of fantasy points on offer all round. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is the place to see them roll in, which can be accessed right here.

      It will be:

      Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the last touch before the goal is scored.

      If after this touch, an opposing player touches the ball outside the penalty area altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is given, except if this intervention directly results in an own goal.

      Didn't something similar happen last year when Walcott scored? He hit the post and scored the rebound. Don't think an assist was given that time either because he was the last player to touch the ball before setting himself up.

        if Sterling got an assist last week, this should also stand. He set up a shot which was blocked, then Suarez stuck in the rebound. This week it was simply the cross bar blocking the initial shot instead of a defender.

        Should definitely stand.

        Coupled with fact RVP got an assist last year for an identical goal at QPR where Walcott hit post and put in the rebound.
