Saturday rolls on with a set of five afternoon kick-offs, rounded off unceremoniously by a tea-time clash as Hull City host Stoke. Interesting.

Before that, all eyes will be on Goodison and Stamford Bridge where two prime captain candidates – namely Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard, will carry the hopes of thousands of Fantasy managers as they face up to the Fulham and Crystal Palace defences respectively.

The afternoon’s events are completed by West Brom’s trip to Cardiff, while Newcastle host Southampton and an injury-ravaged West Ham entertain Sunderland.

As always, you can look to our twitter feed for details of the major movements on the teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom will take you through today’s matches, right up until the final whistle at the KC Stadium.

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

    Would be pretty short sighted to get rid of Aguero if he's only out for a couple of weeks. Those who brought him in early in the season could be throwing away 0.8 million or so if they want to get him back in.

      nah if its 2 weeks he'd drop at least 0.3-0.4, meaning its not a major loss

        i mean in terms of buying him back he'd be similar to selling value, plus can make profit on your striker you bring in

        If you brought him in first week you'd sell at 11.7 now. He's at 12.5 so would have to drop 0.8 to not lose money on him. Pretty risky until we know how bad his injury is.

          you mean. if i sell him at 11.7 now and get him next week(assuming the price doesn't vary). i will have shell out 0.8 extra from my bank to get him back?

            Yes, so until we know how serious his injury is it's a bit reckless transferring him out.

      You would lose more than that $0.8m by not allocating those 11 million dollars for 3 weeks

        Depends how you look at it - two weeks with an expensive sub, or the rest of the season not being able to afford the best players available because you blew a load of money for the sake of getting Lukaku in for two weeks.

      I reckon you'd gain a fair amount on Rooney, especially if he does something tomorrow. And therefore, the Aguero to Rooney swap will be massive, and I'd reckon after just two weeks, you could buy Ageuro back for no more than 0.2m more than you sold him for.

    Meanwhile he'll just keep on scoring. 8 goals, 3 assists and 15 bonus points this season.

    I flipped a coin and went with Chester and benched Burner.

    I've played this game long enough to know, that when it comes to these decisions, Chester will not get a clean sheet as well.

    Transfers I'd like to do:
    Ivanovic to Burner
    Ozil to Walcott
    Shelvey to Silva
    Aguero to Rooney (if necessary)

    Have 2FT, which ones to do? I could do the top three with 0ITB today, will probably do Ivano-Burner today (before the rise) then wait for the rest..
