The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 3 – Saturday

Saturday afternoon continues with a quintet of fixtures to entertain us before Everton square up to Chelsea later on. For many, the main focal point will be at the Etihad as we look to see whether Sergio Aguero will be let off the leash against Stoke, with Stevan Jovetic’s owners anticipating another home brace from the Montenegro striker.

Newcastle have been heavily backed in this week’s Scout Picks and we’ll be hoping to see new boy Siem de Jong justify our show of faith ahead of a very kind run of fixtures. Fantasy managers will also get to run the rule over Palace’s potential in the St James’ Park encounter as Neil Warnock takes the helm for a second time.

Elsewhere, Fantasy favourites such as Steven Caulker will be hoping to make an impact at home to Sunderland, while Gylfi Sigurdsson’s growing band of owners are expecting returns for the third Gameweek in succession as Swansea prepare for the visit of West Brom. West Ham welcome Southampton to Upton Park as Big Sam pins his hopes on Mauro Zarate to inspire his side to another win.

You can look to out Twitter feed for all the lineup from today’s matches.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Just to see how badly I'm doing in my WC GW compared to others: 28 points, Vlaar, Chadli, Sterling, Ramsey to play. Utterly disappointing watching Costa net 2, having taken him off for Aguero last minute. 🙁

      Liverpool's fixtures are tremendous from now until almost Christmas.

      Sterling is a must if you don't already have him.

      Everton's fixtures from GW 4-12 are pretty good too, as are Southampton and Newcastle. So other than the big teams, those are the teams you may wish to invest in.

    If I take -4 right now and then use my WC ahead of the next GW will the -4 disappear?

        Yeah it does. I didn't want a man united player to score because I own duff and I get 9 points. It doesn't mean anything !

        I think I'm too obsessive to do anything like this and not try to solve the never ending puzzle of points and value, and the inevitable waste of time tinkering and thinking about something completely luck based and unpredictable. I do end up watching more football, can be good sometimes, can ruin MOTD.
