Six three o’clock kick-offs get the Gameweek underway, with the likes of Santi Cazorla, Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines carrying the bulk of interest, with many of the Fantasy big guns to play this evening and Sunday lunchtime.

Our Dugout Discussion Chatroom is now open to capture all the emotion from today’s games, including United’s trip to Villa Park for the evening kick-off.

Today’s team news brings a few surprises, not least the news that Peter Odemwingie has been “rested” to the West Brom bench despite his two goals against Southampton on Monday night. Stoke boss Tony Pulis is able to recall Glenn Whelan to his midfield and also opts to give Matt Etherington a rare start, with Michael Kightly, somewhat surprisingly dropping to the bench. Nigel Adkins makes a string of changes for the Saints with Jack Cork and Luke Shaw earning their first league starts – Jason Puncheon also makes a return, although this time, Rickie Lambert keeps his starting role. Ashkan Dejagah earns a Premier League bow for Fulham at the Emirates, while Steve Sidwell and Kieran Richardson also make a return for the Cottagers. Theo Walcott makes a start for the home side – can he spark a Gunners win?

Join our Dugout Discussion Chatroom and join your Fantasy football peers throughout today’s action.

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

    Even though this won't be my worse GW in points term, it is the worst GW because i made a silly mistake of benching Berba over Sterling. Yes Sterling plays tomorrow, but i doubt he'll get double figures.

    So the team looks like

    Jaask, fed
    Hughes, Baines, Wilson, Demel, Clark
    Michu, Caz, Noble, Yaya, Pienaar
    RVP, Tevez, Berba

    2 FT and 1.5m in the bank

    looking at doing

    First:
    Noble --> Kaca
    Yaya --> Valencia
    then:
    Michu --> Lallana
    Caz --> ???
