Seven three o’clock kick-offs with Chelsea, United, Liverpool and Spurs all enjoying home comforts – the scene is set for a bonanza of Fantasy points. While such a scenario has a habit of smacking us round the chops, we’re remaining optimistic and have opened our Dugout Discussion chatroom ready to soak up your views as the points pour in.

It’s safe to say that the Old Trafford clash between United and Bolton will carry the biggest expectation amongst the Fantasy fraternity. Wayne Rooney and Nani will go into the game with armbands stacking up, while Tottenham’s attacking talent will again carry our hopes as they face up to Wolves at the Lane.

Good luck for the Gameweek, we’ll see you on the other side with the Knee Jerk.

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

            Just because most places say its a rooney assist doesnt mean it is a FPL assist, they work on different rules. A fantasy assist is the last touch, regardless, if Welbeck is judged to have touched it its his assist.

    Man Utd goal: This one WAS in the script. David Wheater blocks Nani's cross but Wayne Rooney is first to the loose ball and fires the ball across goal, where Danny Welbeck helps it on for Paul Scholes to sweep home. Nothing Adam Bogdan can do about that one.

          Agreed with these two.

          And taken from Yahoo

          GOAL! Manchester United 1-0 Bolton! It's Paul Scholes! What a wonderful moment for player and club. Nani's cross is blocked by the sliding Wheater but the ball falls nicely for Rooney, who plays the ball square across the face of goal and finds Scholes lurking at the back post. He turns in for a 1-0 lead

        If Welbeck touched it at all he should get it, them's the rules. FPL are not entirely reliable though with review of goals. Wasn't there that time - I think it was against Fulham - Bale got a goal when his shot was heading out for a throwin and the defender deflected it in?
