With presumably the vast majority of your fantasy squad in action yesterday (or to play tomorrow), today the somewhat unfashionable teams are in action looking to impress.

First up is Blackburn Rovers Vs. Aston Villa at Ewood Park…

The home side make one significant change from their expected line-up, as super-sub Jason Roberts finally gets the nod ahead of Nikola Kalinic.

For Villa, Stephen Ireland makes a return to the side, at the expense of the impressive Mark Albrighton. Blast-from-the-past Robert Pires makes the bench.

Here are the line-ups in full…

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Nelsen, Givet, Dunn, Jones, Pedersen, Hoilett, Roberts, El-Hadji Diouf

Aston Villa XI: Friedel, Luke Young, Dunne, Clark, Warnock, Downing, Ireland, Hogg, Bannan, Ashley Young, Agbonlahor

Then it’s off to Craven Cottage, as Fulham host under-pressure Roberto Mancini’s Manchester City, in the 4pm kick-off.

Finally, if like me you no players involved today, there’s the wait to see how many places in the overall rankings you’ll slide as a result.

As always, all this action can be followed with a visit to our Dugout Discussion, which will remain open throughout the day.

            I cant see Mummy starting myself..
            I took him out and am standing by the decision for now.

            Prefer Kolarov and I am not ditching Simpson, Jara, Konchesky or Coleman for him.

            If he doesnt start v Everton his price will plummet

    No disrespect to Mancini as it may prove a masterstroke but sometimes i think Managers want the sack just for the pay off?? Cant help thinking he falls into the bracket.
