With two clean sheets, five goals and a red card in the bag, Saturday’s events unfold with a quintet of matches and a host of Fantasy assets on show.

For once, there will be plenty of attention on the Britannia Stadium where United roll up with Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata in their starting lineup to take on the Potters. Elsewhere, Everton’s home encounter with Villa could well produce profit for owners of Leighton Baines and Kevin Mirallas, while Tottenham’s trip to the KC Stadium will come under focus from those holding Emmanuel Adebayor and Christian Eriksen.

All the key teamsheet news has been captured in our Twitter feed, while the Dugout Discussion room remains open to catch the chatter as the goals and points roll in.

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

                How do you know his other GK was Marshall? I benched Mannone today as I had Adrian and while it would have been nice to get Mannone's points, I believe I made the correct decision at the time.

      I would say Southampton at home to anyone is never a "bad" fixture. The Mannone is fully understandable - how much you regret it depends on who you had in goal - if it's Adrian then I don't think you should beat yourself up.

      I benched Lallana last week, believing Arsenals defence to be strong enough. Thing is the stats show him to be far more effective at home so i fully expect him to do not much in next few weeks sadly.

      Mannone this week is just one of those things in FPL
