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.

          Why would you? He's fool's gold, very rarely gets attacking points and Liverpools are looking very shaky defensively and haven't kept a cleanie since GW3. I don't understand the affection for him on here.

          I think Terry is great value, I know he's .6 more and you may not have it but if you wait a week (they have City next week) you could free up cash and get him in for a very nice run of fixtures (about 8 weeks worth).

          Otherwise, why not invest in a Swans defender, cheaper and better fixtures.

        Only for the moment Optimus.

        Sort squad out first, then decide on bench.

    Forget about that old strategies, don't look at the fixtures, don't be afraid to take hits, chase points and get the players in form...

    That is the new MANTRA in FPL

    Brought Lukaku in for a hit this week. Would it be madness to swap him for Remy next week? Would only be a temporary move, but as a Sunderland fan I'd be backing any half decent striker about to come up against John O'Slow and co. at the moment.

      Jose when playing FPL had some bitter experience like this...! That might be the reason, he never had trust on Lukkakku...... now we learned our lesson SELL him fast 🙂
