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.

    Great play by Everton. The have been really fun to watch so far this season. Fair play to them!

    Was all set on Graham -> Fletcher as my transfer this week, but looking on Everton and Baine + looking at Chelseas fixtures, Ivan -> Baines is really tempting. What do you guys reckon is the best transfer? Maybe worth a hit doing both? Cheers

      im holding to michu
      he is a 2nd striker in a team that is very good at home (except against everton who destroyed them for the 2nd year in a row)
      maybe bench him for the big games away thats all
