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.

    In all fairness, we all got to change our teams before the deadline and they have to wipe about 2,000,000 wildcards and transfers in a couple of hours (maybe more), I am sure they have even more users after the "fresh start", so the servers just can't cope, it is annoying, we all know that, but would people ever just give over.

    On the other hand Metro is doing a sterling job of updating every time someone makes a tackle or takes a shot, while they have at least a million less users probably, FPL could learn a thing or two about a thing or two with them.

      Being able to see the players picked by the other teams in your league when the matches are happening is for me one of the most enjoyable things about FF. Not being able to get in to the site on the day of a game is just pathetic - it was working, more or less, last season and now it isnt. Pathetic. Again.
