We start Gameweek 5 at the Liberty Stadium, as Michael Laudrup’s Swansea host Everton. The Dugout Discussion is open, so come in and follow all the day’s action amongst fellow fantasy football managers. The team news is in and there’s one or two surprises…

Swansea XI: Vorm, Rangel, Tate, Williams, Davies, Ki, de Guzman, Michu, Hernandez, Routledge, Graham.

Everton XI: Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Jagielka, Baines, Osman, Pienaar, Coleman, Fellaini, Mirallas, Anichebe.

Following their defeat at Aston Villa last time out, Nathan Dyer and Leon Britton drop to the bench with Ki Sung Yueng and Pablo Hernandez coming in.

Having scored on Monday night against Newcastle, Victor Anichebe earns a starting berth, replacing the injured Nikica Jelavic.

There’s another five Premier League fixtures to enjoy after Swansea and Everton do battle – so plenty of fantasy points on offer all round. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is the place to see them roll in, which can be accessed right here.

      Pienaar, Fellani may have more goals to his name right now but if I'm honest I think Pienaar will out score him over the course of the season. Fellani tends to go missing at times!

      I'd say fellaini, but most here will say pineear
      fellaini score more goals, pineear (maybe) more assist.
      fellaini is also a much bigger threat in set pieces

      Probably Fellani, but I have Pienaar and Baines.

      Depends on your budget really.

      Pienaar still long term, look at the stas. Fellani won't continue at this pace, Pienaar will increase his.
