Saturday rolls on with a set of five afternoon kick-offs, rounded off unceremoniously by a tea-time clash as Hull City host Stoke. Interesting.

Before that, all eyes will be on Goodison and Stamford Bridge where two prime captain candidates – namely Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard, will carry the hopes of thousands of Fantasy managers as they face up to the Fulham and Crystal Palace defences respectively.

The afternoon’s events are completed by West Brom’s trip to Cardiff, while Newcastle host Southampton and an injury-ravaged West Ham entertain Sunderland.

As always, you can look to our twitter feed for details of the major movements on the teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom will take you through today’s matches, right up until the final whistle at the KC Stadium.

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

      My selling value for Aguero is 0.7 off his buying value. Even if he is only out for two weeks it could be worth it to transfer him out. You would only need him to drop 0.4 and his replacement eg. Rooney to rise by 0.4, which could easily happen, and you would be only 0.1 out of pocket when/if you want to transfer Aguero back in when he returns, plus you have points from him replacement.

      Obviously going to wait for news first though.

        Just thinking out loud here.

        If a player gets an extra BP for the "goal winning" goal, then a GK should get one for a win saving save?

        P.s. Surely Marshall got more than 2 saves. 5 live said he got 2 from Og attempts!

            Mourinho always tightens it up against the big guns

            And with Vermaelen, we can concede anytime, especially on counters
