The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

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

    Mings - Not fully fit - Keep, likely to play once fit, record signing etc
    Walcott - Sell for a Mid 6.5 or less, but WHO?! I need Aguero for GW3.

        Definitely?

        My team has done poor, but happy to keep and mark it as an off week, but might change my mind and make a transfer based on price changes..
