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.

    Ben Arfa and Saylor need to make up a 9 point deficit so I can win my H2H. Surely doable but going with this week's score they will probably get 4.

              depends what i think about the potentia of the players I want to have going up in price. If Sterling does well today then I may bring him in for pienaar for the next two weeks, then bring pienaar back. Probably worth aso bringing in both McAuley and Ridgewell of WBA, and maybe the GK too.

              ....actually, do we even get to ride the price rise, or do we sell at the same price we bought during the wc period?

                That's the other thing I wasn't 100% sure about, but I seem to recall from last year that we get to buy and sell and reap the rewards. The fact nobody plays is irrelevant since you confirm & commit to your purchases each time.
