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.

    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.

      Take a look at the hall of fame or the contributors league. There are players that consistently perform well. The users of this website have far more information than anyone else. Without being a member we know what the players around us are doing (transfers, RMTs etc.), price rises, fixtures, rotation. Then the members have access to huge amounts of information that you cannot possibly gain just by watching the games. Luck is obviously involved but you make your own luck by making good decisions based on the data available. If you play the percentages you will get way higher than 100K in my opinion.
