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.

    Bad day! 20 pts and still have 2 players to play (tevez,hart) and lamps is benched today !
    Darn SAF for putting rooney(is my C btw) on bench, darn vidic for OG, darn bale for being shit ! darn water for reshechuling sunderland vs reading !

    other than that, Thanks Michu and Pienaar !

      I'm in a similar situation, just look at my team. A stark contrast to GW1! This is the real start of Fantasy football -- brought down to Earth with a bump after the honeymoon! My GW3 isn't looking good either! Just got to do my best.

    45 points with 5 to play pre bonus and I brought RVP in this week - can't be too unhappy so far.

    Mata, Pogrebynak and Hoillett are my only real concerns at the moment, working on a route to recruit Hazard from GW4 and a good budget striker to compliment Tevez and RVP next week.

      Sure they haven't scored yet, but it'll pay off.

    Sorry if this has been covered but I just saw that the Sunderland game was postponed and the FPL website says that players from those teams score 0 this week, NO mention of automatic substitutions!! How can this be right when the decision to postpone was taken after the 11.30 deadline and the match didn't start? Can someone confirm / clarify please?
