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.

      Fletcher or Morison.

      And when Mark Hughes decides on who he wants as his no.1 striker, consider that guy, since QPRs fixtures are good, and if they start performing well soon, QPR is worth looking into.

      Morrisson, Helguson or Bendtner
      Morrisson for form, Helguson for differential and Bendtner for 2 home fixtures...

      I'd probably gamble on Bendtner - Sunderland are playing well these days

        Yes, Sunderland are playing well, Bendtner is not.

        There are smart gambles, and utterly stupid gambles. Going for Bendter is not a smart move.

          We'll see. Friendly bet says he gets 12+ points in nxt 2 games

          You dont have to be playing well to score from 6 yards and he will get chances

      I would say that Chelseas fixtures are better than United at the moment, so Sturridge>Wellbeck IMO. The Gerrard/Dempsey question I'm struggling with myself. Considering Dempsey at the moment.

          Fixtures > Form ruined a lot for me early on, so I see your argument. However, I can't see that Welbeck is nailed on, and Ferguson will keep rotating the 2nd striker spot for the rest of the season. Even though Sturridge hasn't played a lot lately, I think he'll be more nailed on in the weeks to come.

    If you were to pick one defender and one midfielder that you believe will score the most points next gameweek, who would it be? I'm thinking of doing Nani and Jones out for another midfielder and defender, and then WC in two weeks.

    Dempsey/Gerrard/Larsson/Lampard and Fulham/Stoke/Liverpool/Chelseadefender/Baines are the options I've been considering. What are peoples views? The chosen midfielder will be in my starting line-up both of the upcoming two weeks. The defender will most likely only feature in the first.

    I have two free transfers, team is linked, will WC before GW 24.

        Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the last touch before the goal is scored.

        If after this touch, an opposing player touches the ball outside the penalty area altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is given, except if this intervention directly results in an own goal

      Reckon Sess will just based on the fact he's rising tonight and has a good enough fixture for more transfers through the week. Other than that, no standouts today, so guess we'll have to wait and see what happens in the remaining games.

    Steven Fletcher.

    I could have SWORN he was 7.4 mill. a few weeks ago. I was surprised at him being that expensive. Am I imagining things here, folks ??!

    Anyway, am about to do W/C here. Fletcher or Agbonglehor ???

    Thanks 🙂
