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.

    I agree more and more that captaincy is just awarded too much. The variance becomes immense in this game, which is so luck-driven already. This week my main rival has like 5-6 players not playing (something that he could have avoided), but still gets Suarez (VC) while I have no captain, which can suddenly mean infinite points.

    1 extra point per assist, goal, clean sheet would be better.

      Makes you think twice about Suárez and armbands next week though doesn't it?

      This game is all about preparing as best as you can for the probable and improbable.

    Any captain fails yet. Come on own up!

    Silva?
    Negredo?

    Assuming your VC choice is OK I wouldn't count Rooney or Yaya as a fail.....just yet.

      Silva was a good VC choice. It's like saying Suarez at home against Fulham is a bad captain choice if he blanks in his current amazing form. It can happen. Still a good choice.
