The Gameweek continues with a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs, culminating in a relegation scrap in South Wales as Cardiff host basement dwellers Sunderland.

All eyes will be on the Manchester clubs, however, as City and United face fixtures that, on paper, look profitable for Fantasy mangers. Wayne Rooney’s relentless form has another opportunity to come to the fore at Carrow Road, while City’s Etihad juggernaut has its engines running and is aimed squarely at the bus likely to be parked by Tony Pulis’ Palace.

We’re expecting big points all round and a potential rollercoaster of an afternoon before the evening clash brings us back down to a simmer.

As always, look to our Twitter feed for the latest teamsheet news while our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open to cater for your real-time chatter needs.

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

      Sterling more attacking. I'm looking to shift Ramsey too as Silva won't play. Problem with Sterling is he maybe gone as soon as Gerard comes in right?

    The only thing that can "save" this from being an absolutely horrid gameweek is a Suarez blank tomorrow. Rivals all have him vice-captained or captained.

      We (regulars) all play this game with more or less the same amount of knowledge as everyone else.

      It's our own instincts and gut decisions that decide whether we finish top 1k or top 100k.

      At the end of the day, it takes a relative amount of skill to get top 100k, but from there on in, it's 90% luck.

    So far we have learnt.....

    1. You need a viable bench.
    2. Treat the choice of your vice captain seriously.
    3. New managers and old faces return eg Anelka (and Ade for Spurs)

    Anything else guys?
