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.

    Just logged on to see all the talk of the Pienaar assist. Yes, Pienaar owner here speaking and I'm not looking for any trouble 😉

    Just saying, the last person to touch the ball before Mirallas scored was definitely Pienaar. I read some absurd stuff that people posted saying "Mirallas assisted himself" and etc etc. So he hit the bar, but the final ball was given by Pienaar. It's impossible to "assist yourself".

    Go easy on me lads.

      If he hits the bar, surely that is a shot off target? Then the second shot becomes a new play, and no-one assisted it.

        Hypotheticaly, Let's say that in open play Pienaar passed it to Mirallas and he fired it in (off target), shot was parried by the GK and then Mirallas scored on the rebound, would the assist be awarded then?
