After a frenetic Deadline Day Tuesday that saw an abundance of big-name moves, such as Nikica Jelavic to Everton (massive), the Dugout Discussion returns to complete Gameweek 23. We’ve got five more Premier League fixtures to pour over tonight, but with most of the big-hitters on show yesterday, fantasy points may be a little thin on the ground.

We start at Villa Park with a slightly earlier kick-off, where Alex McCleish’s side play host Mark Hughes’ Queens Park Rangers. The other four games get under way on the hour, including the televised game at the Stadium of Light between Sunderland and Norwich City (definitely worth watching ahead of Valencia Vs. Barcelona).

There’s also Blackburn Rovers versus Newcastle United, Arsenal travel to the Reebok Stadium to face Bolton Wanderers, and a Bobby Zamora-less Fulham welcome the visit of Roy Hodgson’s West Bromich Albion.

Follow all the action in our Dugout Discussion chatroom, which will remain open until all the dust has settled from what has already been an eventful Gameweek 23.

    Silva the only member of the Famous Five not to deliver this GW.

    Looking like another captain fail, sums up my season. My first goal scoring captain was in GW10 this season. Can't afford another barren captain run.

    Dempsey, Sess, Bale and Valencia deliver. I feel a bit guilty for playing the famous five, but I did have 3 of them already. Season's getting into gear finally! 74pts.

    Unless RVP does something I reckon the overall average for the game week will remain fairly low.

            Yep. Plenty of popular players with high scores. Can be easily seen on the transfers page if ordered by ownership...

          And considering a huge number of teams aren't even looked at any more they won't have any of the bandwagons and probably RVP (C)

        Has a high ownership and probably most captained player this week as plenty of dead teams have left him (C) so I can't see the scores jumping that high.

          There's certainly a high deviation this week, great scores / crap scores.

            That's what I'm seeing but a RVP goal could turn a lot of crap scores around while a lot of the high scorers have Bale (C) this week.

        Jesus, It will be a decent overall average score but if your rivals are even slightly good expect it to be pretty high when it concerns you. In fact the FFS community will have an average of 60 cause for the generic team, it's been great.

          The Scout Picks did well this week. Not genius picks as they were basically the mood of the community before the picks went up, but good picks nevertheless. And they did call Demps and Sess earlier in the season I think.

    Come on van Persie you tool! Should have stuck with my instincts rather than being a sheep.

    My choices were Sessegnon and Bale and I finally went with RVP(c). Come on!!!!!!

    To rub salt in the wounds the guy behind me has R Taylor (assist) Simpson to come off the bench, Krul (pen save) and possible triple clean sheet! Lucky guy
