With just minutes to go before Gameweek 4 is upon us via the early kick-off at Carrow Road, we’ve opened up Dugout Discussion to allow you to share Saturday’s action in real-time with your Fantasy Football peers.

West Ham’s trip to Norwich is followed by a further seven Premier League fixtures with most eyes focused on the teamsheet and events at Old Trafford, as Robin Van Persie carries the hopes and armband for thousands of Fantasy managers against the Latics. Liverpool take on Sunderland in the late-kick off to round matters off.

We’ll follow all today’s action up with a couple of Stock Reports shortly after the whistles start blowing. See you on the other side.

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

        If you mean I've run out of programming....then yes.

        My cybernetic AI has a self learning algorithm so that I can learn from new experiences and assimilate them in to my gaming style. I have thus surpassed the limits of my programming as designed.

        Hope that helps.

        Vidal is much better option than Chellini for Juve. He is a midfielder and takes penalties, UCL have screwed up with his classification. Monty is a poor fantasy option - Nocerino and Boateng are much better though a little more expenses. Kaka is far from nailed on , same for Giovinco and Bertrand. Not sure if Menez plays with all of PSG's signings.

          Worse things happen Doosra, but I weren't half cheesed off for a bit there.

          Rotations could be the downfall of many a FF team this year, with huge squads and European and domestic cup games.
          Need to pick as nailed on as you can afford I reckon.

            Well even Matt T is a better bet then Jarvis at the moment.

            Thanks G I did not do a trade this week. Looks like a 3 trade(-4) is on the cards.

            McCauley or Ridgwell/Lambert/Nolan to come in for Simpson/Petric/Jarvis

        I heard Mata might not play meaning a free place on the left and with Marin still out I reckon he could get it. Even if he doesn't I'll take Davies on the bench (providing there's no cameo)
