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.

      Agree with getting rid of Hazard but not for Oscar, still not totally established in the 1st 11 for me.

      Depends on the formation that Mancini uses. If its 3-5-2, then it is likely he won't start.

    Foster - Federici

    If Everton had finished their chances Baines would have had about 3-4 assists

      Still, he was lucky to get a clean sheet. I'm happy with the 9+baps

    So I know people hate assist discussion but is the Puncheon assist/Clark own goal going to stand? The match report reads, "... Jason Puncheon rattled home after collecting a pass from Lambert"

      Depends if Puncheon's shot was on target or not.
