With the transfer window finally behind us, it’s back to matters on the pitch as Gameweek three gets underway. Due to Chelsea’s Super Cup participation, we’ve got just the nine fixtures to squeeze fantasy points out of, starting at Upton Park as West Ham host city rivals Fulham. The Dugout Discussion opens to see Andy Carroll make his West Ham debut…

West Ham XI: Jaaskelainen, Demel, Reid, Collins, O’Brien, Noble, Diame, Nolan, Vaz Te, Taylor, Carroll.

Fulham XI: Schwarzer, Riether, Hangeland, Hughes, Riise, Diarra, Sidwell, Richardson, Duff, Rodallega, Petric.

Deemed surplussed to requirements at Anfield, Andy Carroll makes an immediate start for the Hammers, at the expense of Carlton Cole.

Fulham have their own new big-name striker in Dimitar Berbatov, but have chosen to name the former Manchester United man on amongst the substitutes. There is a start however for Kieran Richardson, and Steve Sidwell comes in to fill the void left by Moussa Dembele.

There’s then five more Premier League games to enjoy, climaxing at the Etihad Stadium where there’s a repeat of the last season’s most memorable game, Manchester City versus Queen’s Park Rangers. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is the place follow all the action, and can be accessed right here.
