The remainder of Saturday has big boots to fill. Following on from a tumultuous Merseyside goal-fest, a quintet of three o’clock kick-offs will make a bid to keep the goal count and points tallies ticking.

Fantasy managers will be focused mainly on the Emirates where the Gunners are the latest to face up to a resolute Southampton rearguard. With many holding three, four or even five assets going into this clash – the outcome looks pivotal to our Gameweek totals.

Elsewhere, Fulham look to revive their fortunes at home to Michael Laudrup’s Swansea, Hull look to protect their formidable home record against struggling Palace and Gus Poyet’s Black Cats bid to continue their rebuilding process with a tricky visit to the Britannia.

With red-hot Newcastle hosting a buoyant Norwich at St James’ Park and Chelsea making the trip to West Ham for the 5.30pm kick-off, there’s every chance that the momentum from the dramatic early kick-off at Goodison can be maintained.

Andy’s efforts on our Twitter feed brings you all the team news from today’s matches, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open and will remain so right through until the final whistle at the Boleyn Ground.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    It's only 3 points but its 3 points I personally really needed. Ball blatantly hit Barkley!! Skrtel ain't the greatest defender in the world but I'm pretty sure he would have at least tried to clear the ball rather than have it just bounce off him.

    It's been frustrating.. it's been beyond tough sometimes.. it's been humiliatin postin his name on here so many weeks in my RMTs.. but to finally see Mirallas in the top 10 midfielders and just 10 or so points off the premium ones is brilliant!! 🙂 .. not gonna consider him a failed punt anymore.. infact i may keep him till January 🙂

          Yeah, definitely expected more from Ozil. Not sure if you caught the game but he looked listless, lazy, unmotivated and just not a team player.

          Ramsey on the other hand wasn't having a great game but busted his gut chasing every ball he lost. Knees feeling jerky about Ozil

            Yeah, caught the first half, Ozil was wide right for a majority of the team and was reluctant to do much for the team excluding occupying the space. Walcott might bring the best out of him.

              yup, he just stuck to the line and didn't offer any alternatives. Hopefully Walcott will. Will mull over bringing Walcott in early as a differential over the week.

      Kosc will get one bonus point, and I can take consolation in he fact that before the assist, Mert was actually behind Kosc in BPS. Small consolation.

But now i am busy with uni and have less time to think about transfers, captain choices etc, i am suddenly on to do better than 6/11 of the previous gwks and i still have players to come.
