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.

      How many points did Carroll score today? I got rid of him this week. Mind you, I used the cash to get Cashley and Baines, so it did not really help this week....

    Torres appears to be rubbish again and getting frustrated
    as a Liverpool fan I like this and snigger at Abramovich
    however my Torres captain choice means I do not like this

    either way I can't really lose

    Dissapointed to have missed on Moses & Sess again. Sess looked very threatening in the 1st half against Toon, and Moses striking the ar was one of the only saving graces of Wigans performance. It seems both will miss out on BPs due to misses and their team not winning.

    How long can I hold out on transfering them?

      I'd keep sess for longer than moses, since sess has the easier fixtures but you got to remember that midfeilders won't score every week so just hold on a little longer. Had the same problem last year with bent had him for 3 games, nothing, then i dropped him and boom 2 against arsnal. Had him again since GW1, nothing but I stuck with him and captained him, best decsion in a poor week.
      That was a long post long story short, have faith for a bit longer
