There are no less than seven Saturday matches to come, with the three o’clock kick-offs boasting a rich cast of Fantasy talent, presented with potentially profitable home fixtures. It’s fair to say, expectations are high.

The Emirates will come under focus as Arsenal entertain a Norwich outfit that have just one goal to their name on their travels, while at Old Trafford, Southampton put their record of four consecutive clean sheets to the test against a United side struggling to more through the attacking gears.

Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea promise returns from the back and in midfield when they encounter newly promoted Cardiff at the Bridge, while Romelu Lukaku, sporting the armband for an army of Fantasy managers, faces up to Hull City at Goodison. With Michu’s menace up against bottom club Sunderland, the day looks awash with points even before West Ham host City at Upton Park for the evening kick-off.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open and will be available right through until the final whistle at the Boleyn Ground.

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

    "Everybody was saying he had to win the next 5 relatively easy games, he lost chanceless to West brom, he narrowly escapped versus the last team in the table only winning 1-2 and today his stupid substitutions, that nobody could ever understand, cost us another 2 points, versus saints at home. The title is as good as gone and it is already going to be one hell of job to end in the top 4. It is simply unacceptable with a team like Manchester United. Moyes is dragging us down. We can't even go on and fire him, there is nobody really available to replace him... We are in deep shit."---ManU fan concedes defeat 8 games into the season 😆

      Looking to Transfer out Ward-Prowse as my 5th midfielder this week, probably tonight to avoid the 0.1 drop coming. Current midfield is Ozil, Michu, Ramsey & Barkley.

      So options I'm considering are -

      A) Januzaj
      B) Morrison
      C) Amalitifanonooono
      D) Brady
      E) Townsend
      F) Mutch
      G) Whittingham
      H) Bacuna
      I) Anyone else - Lallana? Kasami?....

      £2.9m in bank but dont want/need to spend much on my 5th mid.

      Currently I'm looking at Bacuna, would be a differential and fixtures work well with Barkley, also only 4.6m. Can anyone tell me if he is still playing right back or has he been moved into midfield in the last couple of games??

      Januzaj maybe be an option for a bit of Man U coverage and would get a couple of price rises I expect, not convinced of his game time though right now.

      Advice?

        Martinez was the manager who set Swansea style of football, not Rodger?
