Saturdayโ€™s events kick-off with a relegation humdinger. Southampton will consider themselves close to safety as Mauricio Pochettino continues to inspire some vibrant performances but opponents Reading are fighting for survival, with three points a necessity. Throw in the fact that the Royalsโ€™ new boss, Nigel Adkins, is facing his former club and we have ourselves a tasty scenario as our amouse bouche for the Gameweek.

Three more matches follow at three oโ€™clock, with Norwich hosting Swansea, Stoke facing off against Villa and West Brom taking on Arsenal at the Hawthorns. Fantasy managers will perhaps be looking to that final clash in the main, with Santi Cazorla continuing to hoover up new owners this week ahead of his two fixtures in Gameweek 33.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open for business, plying its trade by soaking up your real-time reactions as every pass, tackle and shot is played out.

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

          Point totals alone are not important. How many points did you earn that you wouldn't have scored otherwise and how much over the average did you score because of it.

          Wildcards are probably worth about 15-20 points. I've thrown away that many points away in a gameweek making the wrong decision.

            Wildcards, or any changes for that matter aren't worth just the points in that given week, the gain over the next numbers of weeks (say maybe six). Its obviously not easy to gauge exactly but they can be hugely valuable. Obviously most FPLers already have players from among the same core group so the wildcard is rarely 15 new players but it could be. I mean if someone started you with a deliberately bad squad it would obviously take you 15 weeks to transfer each of them out without taking a hit. Timing is everything so we tend to use them around DGWs to get maximum immediate advantage over other teams but the cumulative weekly effect can't be ignored.
