After a damp and limp Saturday serving, Fantasy managers are desperately looking to today’s agenda to provide thrills, goals and returns. The four matches certainly have potential, beginning with Liverpool’s trip to Wales to face Swansea at the Liberty. Luis Suarez will carry the hopes of many going into this match, with a stream of talent continuing throughout the day with the likes of Juan Mata, Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale, Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero and Demba Ba all in action.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to catch all your reactions in real-time.

The team news is in and is as follows:

Chico returns to the heart of the hosts’ back-four, with Garry Monk dropping out. Michael Laudrup’s second alteration sees Wayne Routledge replace Nathan Dyer on the flank and with Ki Sung-Yeung fit enough only for the bench, Michu keeps his role in “the holeâ€, with Itay Shechter leading the line again.

Swansea Starting XI: Tremmel, Rangel, Williams (c), Chico, Davies, Britton, de Guzman, Routledge, Hernandez, Michu, Shechter

Brendan Rodgers makes two changes from the side that saw off Wigan last weekend. The Liverpool boss hands Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson starts, with Andre Wisdom and Suso missing out. Henderson’s installation is likely to see Steven Gerrard moved into the more advanced central midfield role once again, while Rodgers has confirmed that Downing will come in at left-back, with Jose Enrique keeping the role on the left of the front three. Wisdom had previously started the last seven for the Reds but picked up a knock in midweek on Europa League duties.

Liverpool Starting XI: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Downing, Allen, Henderson, Gerrard, Sterling, Suarez, Enrique

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

    This is my worst gameweek yet, Cameron with 5 points my highest player, but still I am rising in all my leagues and world wide to 17,287. No City players though which could change that

        Aguero owes me as had him on the bench for a few months!

        Tevez could still impact from the bench.

    enrique and silva in for Morrison and Baines for me this week bar an injury to silva

    Bit of a risk I know, was impressed by Baines yesterday but not sure he’s worthy of the 7.6 price tag and Enrique looked excellent today and I expect him to stay oop

    Planning on getting Gibbs in with the free funds so would have a backline of Gibbs rafael and Enrique. I expect points.

    Should be exciting game weeks coming up and really looking forward

      He's actually probably in the top 10 midfielders from now to the wildcard, at a cheap price.

    Has anyone here actually had a GOOD gameweek? RVP fail Valencia fail Suarez fail Tevez Fail Arsenal Fail (Walcott, Giroud, Caz) Baines Fail Berbs Fail Michu Fail. And I dont see many people with Jordi Gomez in their teams. Everyone has probably captain failed.

    Unless you have no one left to come I wouldn't worry its been a bad week for everyone surely...?
