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.

    @ Gaz Downright:

    Preparing for a Rooney injury at the same time as Yaya is being rested for the first time in modern history?

    Don't really think that is a fair point to make, still really unlucky. If anything, it's Suarez' form.

    You can do a lot of small, good decisions, but when something like that goes tits up, it matters so little.

    I think GB is right

    Doing well in FPL is mostly about skill (making the right transfer at the right time, getting the right captain) but you will get odd weeks like this one where luck plays a much greater part

    Some people may get lucky and get a Wally captaincy or a Suarez captaincy out of Rooney, others may get Silva or Negredo, some may have no captain

    Just one of those weeks, it won't define the season (I hope)

      It does, though, when it swings as much as it does. Look at how much a hit is valued in terms of points on this site. Compare that to a 15-20 points swing off a random captaincy situation.

    Re: Forca's VC discussion

    It's true to an extent.

    Anyone thinking Zabaleta/Yaya was gauaranteed 90 mins and left the armband on either one of them (Someone here captained Zabs) really does not deserve the VC points.

    Pretty obvious that they were rotation risks, especially Zabaleta
