Sunday delivers a famous five fixtures, with lashings of potential points on offer. It all kicks off at Anfield as Luis Suarez leads the charge for Liverpool, sporting the armband for the majority of Fantasy managers in the Gameweek. That clash hands over to the Spurs vs Everton encounter at the Lane, a match deprived of the brilliance of Gareth Bale but still bristling with potential.

Paulo Di Canio makes his Premier League debut as manager of Sunderland at Stamford Bridge, with Fantasy managers widely backing the likes of Eden Hazard and Juan Mata to ruin his day. With Newcastle also hosting Fulham at three o’clock, the crucial relegation battle at Loftus Road brings the day to a close as QPR host in-form Wigan in what is the true definition of a six-pointer.

Our Dugout Discussion starts here and will accompany you throughout the day, with the chatroom now open for those looking to scratch the real-time.

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

        Suarez and Maloney (9 DGWers)

        or Mirallas and Lamps (10 DGWers)

        Getting Bale back will prove more difficult with Suarez but it is workable.

    Very intrigued by Mo Diame playing so high up the pitch today - just off Carlton Cole. His last 6 stats are intriguing too.

    Big Mo: Pen area touches 21, 12 attempts at goal, 7 in box, 5 chances created...

    Priced @ 4.7 frees up RVP money for me.

      Does he even have an attacking stat this year? I would avoid. Is Joe Cole fit?

        He scored vs. Chelsea and Arsenal - United to come - maybe he's a big game player!
        Those stats look like he's 'due' to me. (But equally they say that his shooting accuracy sucks 🙂 )

      Maybe a bit. I wouldn't mind a cheap midfielder to go with Maloney. The problem is they don't rotate very well apart from next week. Wigan and West Ham's best two fixtures look to be in 36 and 38

    Really the thing I like about dgw players is that you can take a -8 hit and it's like a -4 due to the player playing twice. So bring on the 8 point hit!

        Ah hard luck JK, Suarez (C) f**ked me over too but lucky that I had O Brien (forgot to do my team this week & going to get lucky with Clyne coming off the bench for Bale.) Still, Roo could do the business.

          I really want to sell, as I can't abide wanting him to do well, but he plays Reading next week and that scares me. He could easily score more in that 1 game than Mirallas in 2.

    Guys, horriby lacking DGWers. What are your opinions?

    Migs
    Baines** Samba JEvans** Davies Wilson
    Cazorla** Mata Hazard Lampard Sessegnon
    Berbatov** Suarez Benteke

    The easy targets seem to be Sess and Mata. But I think I'd need a United attacker too..

      With Suarez and Benteke regularly coming up with the goods there is no easy way for you to get a Utd striker. Mata/Hazard to Fellaini as one move. Maybe Sess to someone cheap that has a DGW36 (Maloney/Gomez) to raise funds for Benteke to Rooney/RVP?

      It depends on the rest of your squad, really - and your funds. The best option would be to sell him and get him back in GW36, but only if you can afford it.
