Saturday’s three o’clock encounters take care of the Gameweek scoring from this point on, before Chelsea end the day’s events with their meeting with in-form Stoke at Stamford Bridge.

To be fair, Fantasy talent looks thin on the ground. Manchester United’s visit to Newcastle would have normally provided the platform for points for some but, with Wayne Rooney’s toe injury putting him out of the picture, we’re left to look elsewhere. Cardiff’s vital clash with Palace offers the potential of this week’s big budget bandwagon, Jordan Mutch, while Robert Snodgrass’ remaining owners will be seeking further returns from their man when the Canaries take on the indifferent Baggies at Carrow Road.

Goals and returns look scarce, then, before Chelsea see us out and, while Eden Hazard and the Blues rearguard are still well represented in our squads, Stoke look distinctly banana skin-like as opponents. It could be an interesting day.

Our Twitter feed will provide all the latest team sheet tweaks, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom will accompany you right through to the final whistle at Chelsea.

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

    Considering I thought Chelsea would thrash Stoke, it was a bit dumb of me not to place bets on them thrashing them...

    Chelsea played the best football last year with the three maestros, and now it's this dreary crap. Bring back Rafa.

    Another fecking disaster game week so far.
    1) Made a terrible decision to bring in Caulker rather than Azpi (entire self-madde stupidity)
    2) Allowed myself to get swayed into playing Coleman rather than Ward (crowd-induced foolishness)
    3) Hazard comes on with 30 minutes to go - meaning Ward stays on my bench (thanks Jose)

    Assuming Hazard does nothing else I'm sat on 21 points from 7 with just Merseyside to save my game week, but in Coleman, Lukaku, Suarez and Sturridge I have no differentials.

    Had been leading all my mini-leagues but I'm surrendering points in last few weeks due to stupid calls - it's going to be squeaky bum time for the last 5.

        It's a question I've been asking myself all afternoon. I'm top of 3 leagues (but not so high up in the Scout Contribs league!!)

        To be fair there was a financial strategy that included bringing in Aguero next week, but now I'm thinking that Dzeko is the smarter route anyway so i don't need the money. Balls.
