Six games today to occupy our fantasy minds as the gameweek warms up as it builds. Sunday will see three big derby games and Monday has a top of the table clash between United and Arsenal but we’re not left with scraps, there’s plenty here for us to feast all the same…

Gerard Houllier continues to put faith in his youth as Eric Lichaj comes in for the injured Luke Young, Carlos Cuellar, Ashley Young and Emile Heskey all return to the starting line-up with Nigel Reo-Coker also fit enough for a place on the bench. West Brom call Marc-Antoine Fortune into their ranks for the injured Peter Odemwingie…

Villa XI: Friedel; Lichaj, Cuellar, Collins, Warnock; Albrighton, Hogg, Bannan, Downing; Ashley Young; Heskey

West Brom XI: Carson; Jara, Scharner, Tamas, Cech; Brunt, Dorrans, Tchoyi, Morrison, Thomas; Fortune

Everton name an unchanged side from the side that drew one-all at Stamford Bridge last week while Wigan recall Hugo Rodallega following his three game suspension…

Everton XI: Howard; Neville, Jagielka, Distin, Baines; Coleman, Fellaini, Rodwell, Pienaar; Cahill; Saha

Wigan XI: Al Habsi; Gohouri, Steven Caldwell, Alcaraz, Figueroa; Thomas, Diame; N’Zogbia, Watson, Cleverley; Rodallega

Avram grant recalls Frederic Piquionne, Julien Faubert, Junior Stanislas and Pablo Barrera to his team while Manchester City make some enforced changes with Jo and Jerome Boateng coming in for the suspended Aleksander Kolarov and Carlos Tevez…

West Ham XI: Green; Faubert, Tomkins, Upson, Ben-Haim; Barrera, Spector, Parker; Stanislas, Piquionne, Obinna

Man City XI: Hart; Boateng, Toure, Kompany, Zabaleta; De Jong, Barry, Yay Toure; Silva, Jo, Balotelli

Tony Pulis recalls Jermain Pennant and Andy Wilkinson to his team while Ian Holloway names an unchanged side from that which drew two-all at Bolton two weeks ago…

Stoke XI: Begovic; Wilkinson, Shawcross, Huth, Collins; Pennant, Whitehead, Delap, Etherington; Jones, Fuller

Blackpool XI: Kingson; Eardley, Cathcart, Evatt, Crainey; Grandin, Adam, Vaughan; Taylor-Fletcher, Campbell, Varney

Mark Hughes recalls Carlos Salcido after a few weeks out through injury while Steve Bruce affords just places on the bench for Craig Gordon and Asamoah Gyan…

Fulham XI: Schwarzer; Pantsil, Hughes, Hangeland, Salcido; Davies, Murphy, Etuhu, Dempsey, Gera; Kamara

Sunderland XI: Mignolet; Onuoha, Mensah, Ferdinand, Bardsley; Meyler, Cattermole, Henderson, Richardson; Welbeck, Bent

After all five of our 3pm kick-offs finish we’ll then jettison in the direction of Newcastle as Alan Pardew gets stuck in at the deep end against Roy Hodgson and his Liverpool team, Fernando Torres undoubtedly wanting to rock the Bebeto and Pardew wanting to build on the 15 supporters he so far has.

The Dugout Discussion is open as is the norm throughout the day to take in all the action as and when it occurs.

          Well I did advise people to play both Carroll and Konchesky/Kyrgiakos. Nice to see that I called that one correctly.

          Let's hope the same thing happens in the Bolton/Blackburn game although I fear that Elmander and Lee between them will struggle to match Carroll's goal influence

            How can you say you called that correctly when Liverpool didnt get a cleanie. The correct call surely was play Carroll and bench Liverpool defenders.

              Well the correct call was also to transfer in Barton and Toure but I'm afraid I don't have perfect foresight.

              My argument was that between the two, you would get a decent score.

            Looking back now if i hadnt done dreadfully in gwk1 & 2 would have been in the top 5k now at the very least. Bloody hell didnt think taking wild punts would be so costly so early on.

      No, this season so far, money isn't an issue, doing stuff for price rises before they play is madness

      theres more midweek games too

    When does Tim Cahill have to go back under for the Aussies guys? He might even have to sort out their cricket team whilst he's there 🙂

    Handy Andy Carroll pops up again, love that fellow,

    I love people who sold Carroll for Elmanders point chasings, then sold Elmander for berba's point chasings who misses the next game, if that happened to you, i have to laugh 😀

    Rather content i didnt double up on liverpool defenders, nor get torres in, so far, 2 transfers this week coming is a nice bonus...

    content enough (so far) this week with a score of 30 points with, Drogs/Nani(c)/Bale/Nasri/Robinson to go

    The good: Charlie Adam bonus' he's been doing great

    Coleman Bonus, nice he gets recognised for his efforts

    and Carroll's bonus too

      Im in the same boat as you, was going to get Konchesky in for Bosingwa and would have played him and benched Carrol. Thank God, Two freebies this week will be nice.

      Hopefully Davies scores a couple and I will be well happy!!!

        But really, if NU score big then Nolan is almost guaranteed to have a bigger share of the points than Barton.
