There are no less than seven Saturday matches to come, with the three o’clock kick-offs boasting a rich cast of Fantasy talent, presented with potentially profitable home fixtures. It’s fair to say, expectations are high.

The Emirates will come under focus as Arsenal entertain a Norwich outfit that have just one goal to their name on their travels, while at Old Trafford, Southampton put their record of four consecutive clean sheets to the test against a United side struggling to more through the attacking gears.

Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea promise returns from the back and in midfield when they encounter newly promoted Cardiff at the Bridge, while Romelu Lukaku, sporting the armband for an army of Fantasy managers, faces up to Hull City at Goodison. With Michu’s menace up against bottom club Sunderland, the day looks awash with points even before West Ham host City at Upton Park for the evening kick-off.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open and will be available right through until the final whistle at the Boleyn Ground.

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

    I want to cry. Made a killing from hits this season and even though I've been telling people to get the city Spaniard all week, I showed great restraint by not doing boruc and michu to vorm and Silva for -8. Was genuinely so tempted this morning.

      Thing is, next week Boruc and Michu could have big weekends and Silva and Vorm do nothing.

      Although, this season, every gameweek seems to lower me to further and further depths of sh*teness!

        I know. But it hurts on a personal level as this week I haven't been true to myself and I've even excited about Silva as soon as he was fit again. Was arguing how good he was on here under Pellegrini and everything. now my private differential has gone public 🙁

      less)

      4 point hit. And hope Vidic starts. Yes or no?
      Have to sell Koscielny to get Özil 'cause I already
      have the maximum 3 Arsenal players. What do
      you think? Can you see any better moves?

        I expect Vidic will start. Its not like Moyes really has the luxury to rest him 2 weekends in a row.

        Ramsey is still scoring points at a ridiculous rate so no need to abandon him just yet imo.

        Moses and Lamps look like the main priorities. Don't know how much you'd have to spend if you sold those two?

      Everyone seems to be going (understandably) nuts for Ramsey. Before I allow myself to get swept away in the madness, am I right in thinking he would have been benched today but for a late Flamini knock? Possible rotation risk now Arsenal are nearing full strength?

        Rested rather than benched I believe - owners were braced as Wenger mentioned in his press conference that Ramsey had played the most minutes over the international break out of all his midfielders.

          I chose to say benched rather than dropped as I thought it was more suitable, it's semantics but rested is fine by me 🙂

          I suppose the question is does he still need a rest in Wenger's view...?
