We start Gameweek 5 at the Liberty Stadium, as Michael Laudrup’s Swansea host Everton. The Dugout Discussion is open, so come in and follow all the day’s action amongst fellow fantasy football managers. The team news is in and there’s one or two surprises…

Swansea XI: Vorm, Rangel, Tate, Williams, Davies, Ki, de Guzman, Michu, Hernandez, Routledge, Graham.

Everton XI: Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Jagielka, Baines, Osman, Pienaar, Coleman, Fellaini, Mirallas, Anichebe.

Following their defeat at Aston Villa last time out, Nathan Dyer and Leon Britton drop to the bench with Ki Sung Yueng and Pablo Hernandez coming in.

Having scored on Monday night against Newcastle, Victor Anichebe earns a starting berth, replacing the injured Nikica Jelavic.

There’s another five Premier League fixtures to enjoy after Swansea and Everton do battle – so plenty of fantasy points on offer all round. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is the place to see them roll in, which can be accessed right here.

    Best defender for 4.3m? Already got:

    Jussi
    Baines, Rafael, Ridgewell, Demel

    Barnett/Nelsen? Or 3.9 non-playing def?

    cheers!

            Pienaar crosses the ball in, Mirallas' shot is saved by Vorm and tipped onto the bar then Mirallas heads into the open goal.

            No Swansea player touched the ball outside the box so it *should* be a Pienaar assist

            Yeah, in the spirit of the game, it was his assist. By the letter of the FPL law, its ambiguous because Mirallas shot, vorm tipped it, hit the crossbar, and he scored his own rebound

              It's was moronic, back-chatting for the first yellow and then a stupid studs-high challenge for the 2nd. I blame Laudrup for not starting him in the first place, he came on and looked frustrated. I'd love to know Laudrup's reason for dropping their best player of the season so far... oh wait, it was to fit in their record signing. Who cares who's playing well eh?!

              None for Piennar even if he does get the assist. Plenty of shots off target

                Only 1 or 2. The other were deflections that went out for corners.

              Pienaar. Anichebe 500 shots off target.

              baines might nick the 3.

              Anichebe had more shots off target than United's trophies!
