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.

    Trying to decide about Nani, but also if he's going it's wild card time.

    Was planning on waiting 2 weeks, but think now may be the time to pull the trigger.

      This is the other factor making me think about WC'ing this week.

      Wigan at home "should" be a potential goalfest. I have owned Ade over 8/9 games this season highest score was a 5 I believe.

      At least this time he came in for Rooney so no great loss there!

    Would I be stupid if I put Valencia or Bale on the bench for next week? Tough fixtures for both, may not do much

    I don't know what my worst decision has been this season

    a) Persisting in captaining Torres at the beginnin of the season
    b) Persisting in captaining Nani for the last few weeks
    c) Having and indeed STILL having Royston Drenthe in my team
    d) rotating Vorm and Krul at just the wrong times all season long
    e) Never having Demba Ba even close to my team at any time during the season
    f) Swapping out Ward for Evans the week Ward scored and Evans was injured
    or
    g) Missing out on around 50 points with my stubborness not to captain RVP
