Last weekend’s headliners get the Gameweek started as Swansea face West Ham at the Liberty in the day’s early kick-off. Following that, we’ve no less than seven other Premier League matches in a bumper Saturday programme. Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to soak up your real-time reactions as today’s matches roll on.

The team news from Swansea finds Michael Laudrup not surprisingly keeping faith with the same XI which scored five at Loftus Road. Chico recovers from a knock to start in defence, then. As for West Ham, they give £10 million man Matt Jarvis his debut, while James Tomkins also returns to the starting lineup and could well occupy a midfield role. Ricardo Vaz Te and Matt Taylor have made way.

Enjoy the game and all today’s action.

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

    Thinking of Mata to Kagawa tonight if Mata drops, what's are the chances?

      I think quite probable if Mata doesn't score. I'm thinking the same (or Mata->Nasri), but would also like to go Torres->RVP without point hits.

    Lamps > Michu pretty obvious right? Already have Dyer, but happy to double up with the Swansea fixtures looking so great for a while.

    RVP and Kagawa bailed me out. 26 points with 4 to play. Judging by the anger in here that is not to bad.

        Sorry it's in red on the top of the rules and COMPLETELY NONSENSE. A horrible rule.

        Sunderland v Reading has been postponed. Any players you have from these teams will score 0 in Gameweek 2. Players will play twice in a future Gameweek, when the game is rescheduled. You will only score points for this match if you have the players in your team for the Gameweek that the match is rescheduled for.

        Awful rule. makes the game totally random and luck for this game week..
