There’s two tasty fixtures on the bill today, as the Dugout Discussion opens for the second installment of Gameweek two. We start at the Britannia Stadium as Stoke City host Arsenal, and the team news is in…

Stoke XI: Begovic, Wilkinson, Huth, Shawcross, Wilson, Pennant, Cameron, Whelan, Kightly, Walters, Crouch.

Arsenal XI: Mannone, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Diaby, Arteta, Podolski, Cazorla, Gervinho, Giroud.

Having been cleared to play, new signing Geoff Cameron makes his Potters debut in midfield. The visitors are without Wojciech Szczesnydue to a rib injury, so Vito Mannone is between the sticks. There’s a first league start for Olivier Giroud, with Theo Walcott the player making way.

Following that game we move to Anfield, where bottom of the league Liverpool welcome the visit of the Premier League champions Manchester City.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is the place to follow all the action as it unfolds, and it can be accessed right here.

    so Ive got an idea for a team (starting GW3) that im going to make

    its called "Auto-Complete FC"

    Now heres how it works-

    1. Make an original team by using Auto-Complete
    2. 4th and 5th defender chosen + 5th midfielder chosen get to be on the bench this week
    3. Play all the others and choose a random captain(flip a coin, roll a die, etc.)
    4. Lowest scoring player each week gets transfered out, Auto-complete to see who gets transferred in
    5. Highest scoring player gets to be Captain next week.
    6. Bar the transferred out player, the lowest 3 scoring players of that week sit on the bench next week
    7. See how it goes

    so those are the rules. think its a good idea? gonna start it up now

    Hey guys,

    having a very average week with my Rooney (c), have already made two transfers, kagawa –> Mitchu and Rooney –> Rvp which seems pretty logical.

    Now I’m thinking I need to get rid of Holt. you guys reckon hilt –> petrie is worth another 4 point hit? or should I just wait until next week when I can do holt –> petric and lampard –> hazard. let me know what you think!

      I'm staying well away from the RVP bandwagon, particularly with United's fixtures after GW4.. unless I decide to WC after GW3 for the money, but I've already got 3m in the bank and no idea what to change. Makes a change from taking 4/8pt hits every other week like last season.
