Settle down, we’ve no less than three Premier League encounters to take us into Antiques Roadshow, with Fantasy points hopefully continuing to flow following yesterday’s drama. We’ve opened our Dugout Discussion chatroom to capture the real-time chatter, just in time for our first kick-off at Anfield, as Liverpool face the Gunners. Full line-ups here are…

Liverpool XI: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Allen, Sahin, Gerrard, Sterling, Borini, Suarez.
Substitutes: Jones, Carragher, Shelvey, Downing, Henderson, Kelly, Coates.

Arsenal XI: Mannone, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Cazorla, Arteta, Diaby, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Giroud, Podolski.
Substitutes: Koscielny, Martinez, Santos, Ramsey, Coquelin, Gervinho, Walcott.

Later today, we’re treated to Newcastle vs Villa and Southampton vs United at St Mary’s. With Carlos Tevez delivering on his captaincy promised yesterday, all eyes will now be on Robin Van Persie as he takes on the Saints as United’s chief goal threat in the absence of the injured Wayne Rooney.

Enjoy today’s games, we’ll see you on the other side with the Stock Check…

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

    Wildcard or 12 point hit to get RVP in as i already took a 4 point hit to get rid of Chico and Bale? Have 2.9 in the bank but not enough for Torres->RVP, so thinking Kag->Yaya and then Torres->RVP.

      Suffering 100k drop for Bale as a differential seems like a promising deal.

    I think far too many of you are knee-jerking and toying with 8 point hits/early use of wildcards to get RVP in. Similarly for the likes of Cazorla. One good game week, a fantasy player does not make.

    Wasn’t a RVP goalfest inevitable at some point or another?

    Is not a little ‘patience grasshopper’ needed at times like this?

      Cazorla is a season keeper, always has been.

      Everything Arsenal does offensively goes through him. Takes all the set-pieces too.

      But I wouldn't take an 8-point hit just to get both in, because I already have both. 🙂

    36 points this week. I am not going to chase points now its too late, I'm sticking with Kagawa, Bale, Vertonghen and Torres because they will come good eventually. RVP is still too expensive, his hat-rick today just about justified his price for this one week, can't see him scoring 3 every week though.

      I've Hazard, Michu already and I'm taking Bale out so I've about 10.0 to play around with.
      I've van persie/tevez and I'm covered with chelsea/man u/ man c defense.

          Well you can lose Bale if you prefer. I only brought Bale in this week and I'm debating if I should keep him or not.

          DDG will start next game because Fergie said so + we just conceded another 2 goals. Wigan home should be a clean sheet really for us so see no reason why you should get rid now.

      Zabs looks a prob and IMO you need to get in either Torres or rvp for Petric /ba , Pog could be the key - I've tevez/rvp and Pog.

    Geoff Shreeves just reminding Adkins they are the only team in the league without a point. He was never letting him get away without some disappointment. 🙂

    Feel sorry for Brendan Rodgers. That club is a mess that will take at least 3 years to get back into the top 4. They let him down in the transfer market and now he's left with a threadbare squad unable to compete with the best.

      I think Liverpool fans need to get used to being in the second tier of the premiership at best for many years to come. Could be worse, just ask Leeds, sheff wed and notts forest fans. Times change.

    It seems to me that those who started with Rooney were actually quite fortunate as they were the ones who did a straight(ish) swap to RVP

      Yeah, last week when I (c) him, when he got 1pt, got injured, I thought to myself "Well isn't this just ideal". I was probably also lucky the week before when Aguero got me 1pt, got injured, so I brought in Rooney instead. Logic.fuzzy.very.
