As Luis Suarez continues to make football look easy, rendering Fantasy football a simple game in the process, we tot up another ridiculous points haul whilst turning attention to the day’s three o’clock kick-offs.

Six matches follow shortly, including Man United’s attempt to avoid the unthinkable – three consecutive home league defeats. They face shot-shy West Ham at Old Trafford, while the not so shot-shy City take a trip to take on Fulham at the Cottage, without the goal power of Sergio Aguero.

Stoke and Sunderland host Villa and Norwich respectively, while Palace look to continue their recent revival with a Selhurst Park clash with Newcastle. Managerless West Brom round things off as they take on Hull City at the Hawthorns.

Look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news from these encounters, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains ajar for those partial to some real-time reaction.

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

      0-2 harsh on Fulham who have been very good. A little commitment in the box to get on the end of some of the crosses and it'd be a different story.

    Rapt I went with my gut & got Welbeck for Aguero. Now that he's playing in the lone striker role he's a great option until RVP is back. The only reason he's been inconsistent in the past is because they play him on the wing but he is a natural striker.

            1. By the looks of this game he IS useless without Aguero
            2. Plzen isn't exactly a powerhouse, Bayern goal was just a mere consolation

              Regardless of opposition, he CAN score without Aguero. That was the point I was trying to get across.

              Not necessarily in this game though I agree. He's not Suarez so I don' expect him to score every week. And the Dzeko factor. Jesus in Dzeko would be golden for Negredo.

    Aguero or Rooney or Suarez or Hazard or Ramsey or Walcott or Silva
