As the dust settles on Papiss Cisse’s stunning contribution last night, Fantasy managers must prepare for seven more Premier League games as the Gameweek progresses in earnest. Our Dugout Discussion Chatroom is now fully fuelled and running its engines in time for day’s opener at the Stadium of Light.

Spurs make the journey to the North East, having witnessed Newcastle’s clinical disposal of Swansea in last night’s victory at the Liberty. The ball is very much in Harry Redknapp’s court as he attempts to keep Alan Pardew’s men at arms length, whilst fending off Arsene Wenger’s Gunners who take on City tomorrow. The teams line-up as follows…

Sunderland XI: Mignolet, Bardsley, Colback, Kilgallon, Turner, Larsson, McClean, Cattermole, Gardner, Sessegnon, Bendtner.

Tottenham XI: Friedel; Walker, Kaboul, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto; Parker, Sandro; Van Der Vaart, Modric, Bale; Adebayor

We’ll then roll through five three o’clock kick-offs, Chelsea vs Wigan and Bolton vs Fulham to name but a couple, before Stoke and Wolves come clattering together in today’s evening fixture and rounding out our Saturday affairs.

Join the your Fantasy Football peers for a chat via this link.

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

      Congrats to everyone who kept Dempsey, let alone played him in an away game...

      I guess all those 2 pointers from his previous 6 away games will bring his away average up to 4...

        Don't be bitter. I'm in the same boat, transferred out Demps because of Fulham's away form. I can't be too upset about it, made the decision and have to stand by it. The data was on our side, but his form appears to trump everything right now.

        Long time coming, Fulham know their away form is poor, Pog injured so Demps would have a more attacking role and it's against Bolton. I thought it was madness not to play him.

      Can i say something? People who took out Dempsey for Walcott this week (meaning they still get his points for this GW) don't get disheartened because Walcott plays Wolves + Wigan next whereas Dempsey plays Chelsea and then a blank so it could turn out to be a league changing move.

      Just saying hope it makes you feel better. 🙂

              So what? If someone looks dangerous but does nothing for so long it;s perfectly reasonable that they would bench him to carry on that form.

              Today was the exception, not the rule. Point is it's easy to come and say that when he has scored two goals, where were you saying this the last 5 times he played away?
