The breeze from the doors closing on the Saturday Surgery can still be felt on Fantasy Manager’s faces as the Dugout Dicussion opens up for another full day of football action.

The local derby of Sunderland hosting Newcastle kicks off at noon at the request of their police forces.

This starts off the six games we have to look forward to, across four different kick-off times, in total today. As the half time oranges start getting handed out at the Stadium of Light we’ll then see Arsenal and Liverpool kick off affairs in front of the television cameras.

A trio of three o’clock kick-offs join the deluge of Football League fixtures before Chelsea round out the day at home to West Brom as poll topper Fernando Torres will either make or spoil many weekend’s – looks like Saturday night Shandy’s will be in order whatever the result.

The Dugout Discussion stays through all the action as we take in our first proper and fully functioning (fingers crossed!) gameweek.

      Makes it all the sweeter that Baines was inches from scoring and it counts as an off target shot

    Thing is about Baines is that I never would have gotten him in if it wasn't for FPL's cockup.

    Grim gameweek on the cards me thinks.

      this is very true. QPR were always going to come bouncing back after last week and takeover news hence no Baines here. He might well still score but CS was never on the cards

      Totally agreed, he's basically a midfielder classified as a defender, points for clean sheets are just a bonus.

      Early days. Only two games done and dusted, in which I had no player interest. Got Bent though:) Big on Chelski, so will watch with interest on ESPN later.

    Having a Saturday in to concentrate on on-line footy matters, of course people are justified in complaining about FPL's inability to provide prompt updates and live scores. 2 million people have seen fit to play their game so they should provide the service. You can't thank them for losing old technology.

    Getting criticised for moaning on the grounds that the site will be updated in due course is ridiculous. It's like telling me that you never need to go watch a match live because you can read the reult in the paper the day after.
