Just the solitary Premier League fixture today, as Reading host Tottenham Hotspur with both sides looking for their first win of the campaign. The Dugout Discussion is open, and is the place to interact with your fellow fantasy managers as the events at the Madejski Stadium unfold. The team news is in, and here’s how the sides line-up…

Reading XI: McCarthy, Gunter, Gorkss, Pearce, Hartel, McCleary, Karacan, Leigertwood, McAnuff, Guthrie, Pogrebnyak.

Spurs XI: Friedel, Walker, Gallas, Vertonghen, Naughton, Sandro, Dembele, Lennon, Sigurdsson, Bale, Defoe.

It’s the men between the sticks that grab the headline team news, as Alex McCarthy replaces Adam Federici (injured) for the Royals, but Brad Friedel keeps Spurs’ new-signing Hugo Lloris at bay on the substitutes bench.

Elsewhere, Clint Dempsey and Emmanuel Adebayor are also on the visitors’ bench, and Kyle Naughton replaces Benoit Assou-Ekotto at left-back.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

    I still can't believe they didn't get Glenn Hoddle to do any of the paralympics coverage.

    MY NEW WILDCARD TEAM- Without RVP

    Foster - Jaas

    Demel Ivanovic Baines Hughes Gibbs

    Santi Cazorla, Michu, Hazard, Nolan, Ben Arfa,

    Fletcher, Berbatov, Tevez,

    My thinking is that each gameweek I'll have a variaty of options to deliever points - and also I need some differencials as I started off this year terribly considering I want a top 5000 finish like last year

    Defoe is either clinical or horrible. No happy medium. Points deducted for such a negative PPI surely.
