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.

      Michu, Lampard, Ramsey, Brady,
      Rooney, Suárez, Giroud.

      Daniels, Moses, Chester, Collins.

      2 FT, £0.7m in the bank.

      I really want Özil, but I'll have to sell Koscielny for that, 'cause as you can see I already have the maximum 3 Arsenal players. 🙁 So what should I do? I'm thinking Vidic -> Chico, Koscielny -> Rosenior and Lamps -> Özil for a 4 pt. hit. Sound good? Or are there any other, better moves? Cheers.

      Not being Biased, and I'm not sure what most English people will think but Fraser Forster at least deserves a start for England.

            On penalties (I think?) and set pieces. Consistently finishes as the highest scoring player. He's had a few bad weeks recently but look before that and he got 9, 8, 8 and then 16 points. He will come good again.

              Also, you will hear plenty of horror stories from people who took out Baines after a couple weeks of low scoring gameweeks only to have him explode the next few weeks.
