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.

    My 8pt hit worked OK in the end, the only 'bad' transfer being Cazorla -> Michu, where I made a loss of 8pts (including hit) STaylor got the same amount of points as Nelsen would have coming off the bench (Another -4)...but RVP saved total failure and made up the gap 🙂
    In the end: Original = 12pts After 8pt hit = 20pts ... lucky escape - my first ever 8pt'er, and never again... 😉
    57 pts pre bonus - how has everyone else fared?

    Pulled the trigger very early and done Rvp and Guthrie in for kagawa and jelavic for 4 pt hit, don't want Rvp getting out of my price range and is likely to rise during international break
