After yesterday’s disappointing start, many Fantasy managers will be looking for some of Sunday’s heavy hitters to come to the rescue.

A couple of 1.30pm kick-offs get us underway. Community Shield winners Arsenal welcome West Ham to the Emirates before Steven McClaren takes charge of Newcastle for the first time in the top-flight as in-form Southampton roll up to St James’ Park.

Stoke play host to big-spending Liverpool in the late kick-off, with Brendan Rodgers’ side looking to immediately avenge their 6-1 mauling at the Britannia in the final league fixture of 2014/15.

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

    Currently on wally and Rambo. I intend to downgrade 1 to get kun in gw3. I think both will start next gw but I don't like the damage a bad arsenal game does to my team.

    Would you?

    A) save transfer and make both transfers gw3

    B) downgrade now and get kun gw3 (who would you get rid off)
