Nine down, one to go as Swansea welcome Hull to the Liberty and hand us some Monday night football to sink our teeth into. Michael Laudrup’s side have offered Fantasy managers a strong source of points at both ends of the pitch in front of their own fans – three of the last four home games have produced a clean sheet and three goals or more for the Welsh outfit:

Jonjo Shelvey’s 14-point haul in the previous Gameweek saw the former Liverpool man earn himself over 161,000 new owners prior to the weekend deadline, though with Curtis Davies back on board after serving a one-match suspension, the Tigers will be hoping to turn in a resilient display.

The big news is that Michu is fit and available to lead the line for the hosts after recovering from ankle and knee problems. He replaces Alvaro Vazquez up top in one of three changes by Laudrup, as Gerhard Tremmel and Nathan Dyer come in for Michel Vorm and Alex Pozuelo. Robbie Brady drops out for the Tigers after a series of disappointing displays since returning from injury.

As always, our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open right through to the final whistle.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Any thoughts on this lads?

    A) Williams > Jagielka
    Sess > Fer
    Leaves £0.0 itb

    Or

    B) Johnson > Jagielka
    Leaves £0.1 itb and 2FT for next week

    Which of these moves do you think is best? Bearing in mind I have Coleman already, is getting Jagielka in and doubling up wise? And I'll have to do A tonight because Fer is rising

      No, there's barely any info like that anymore, whatever it is remember everyone has 2 teams if they want but I'm sure some only made one so it's probably in the high hundred thousands of teams, under 500k players.
