Sunday brings us three Premier League matches, with events kicking off at midday with the Tyne-Wear derby clash and culminating with the titanic clash at White Hart Lane. Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will be around to soak your reactions as the day progresses.

The team news from the Sports Direct Arena brings us no surprises in the Newcastle lineup with Papiss Cisse shaking off a groin problem to partner Demba Ba up front. Martin O’Neill has given us food for thought, however, drafting in Nicklas Bendtner in attack, presumably shifting Stephane Sessegnon to a support role. Jack Colbak makes way, while Phil Bardsley recovers form a calf problem to take his place in the back four.

Enjoy the game, and the Fulham vs Wolves and Tottenham vs Man United clashes later today and pop into to the Dugout Discussion for some real-time Fantasy Football bantering.

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

    Jones makes a good rb. Allows him to push up the pitch without leaving the back door open

    If your captain doesn't play but remains on the pitch, i.e, your 3 substitutes come in off the bench, does the vice captain get the double points still?

      If C does not play VC gets a double point. No issues with subs ...

      P.S - Ignore for Aug(C) and Silva(VC) 😀

    Schwarzer Bogdan
    Evans Skrtel Cahill Simpson Ricketts
    Dempsey Silva N'Zogbia Sigurdsson MDavies
    RVP Rooney Suarez

    N'Zogbia a 2-week punt - would Osman be a better one?
    Hoping for some Notlob value given their fixtures.

    I'm tempted by Jags & Drenthe to give them opportunity to pay back for their 1 pt DGW in January - but once bitten twice shy etc

          Only these cos I couldn't find anyone else who appeals (I don't like swansea, maybe mcauley (WBA))?
