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.

    I'm thinking of dropping Aguero and bringing in Silva at this point.

    The only thing I have not decided:

    Lallana -> Negredo [-4]
    Lallana, Meyler -> Walcott & Chamakh [-8]

    Current Roster:

    Howard, Myhill
    Distin, Jagielka, Fonte, Lovren, Baker
    Y. Toure, Ramsey, Lallana*, Bacuna, Meyler*
    Suarez, Aguero*, Rooney

    Please help and let me know if I should pull the trigger or wait out more Aguero news. I'm set to lose $0.8m on Aguero. 🙁

    forgive me if the subject has been approached several times already but I gotta ask,

    I bought Aguero at 11.0

    How long of an absence would merit dropping him for Lukaku? I would lose .8 on the sale.

    Cheers

      If he's out for 3 weeks or more you'll be likely to buy him back at a similar price you sold him for. Only if it's a couple of weeks will it be a tricky decision.

      3 weeks would be 4 games, then he might be phased back in.

      if its more than 2 i'm trading him

      3 weeks if you ask me. But do you really want to carry a player like that for that long, when you know you haven't got a third striker to play and there are ones doing it week in, week out, while he is injured?

      Dont concern yourself too much about losing cash, concern yourself in getting points.

      Thats what the game is all about.

        If you lose cash then you'll have that disadvantage for the rest of the season. What we're basically doing is valuing the points from two weeks over the potential points that can be gained in the remaining 20 weeks.

        If he's out for a long time then fair enough, but if it's two games then it's nowhere near worth it in my opinion.

      Ramsey out is a recipe for destruction.

      Brave very very brave.

      Very high ownership and its not like he has stopped scoring points.

      Try and get Walcott in another way.

    It's funny how your perception of your fantasy decisions changes over the day.

    This morning I did a very stupid thing. I slept late, missed the alarm and missed the deadline. Luckily my team was set up in the right order, but I had 2FT and therefore wasted one. Stupid. I had transfers planned too, hoping to do them if I heard confirmation Ravel was out.

    They were Migs & Amalfitano > Howard & Barkley.

    I'd also not done the transfers yet as they would mean I could not afford Walcott or Silva.

    I was rightly feeling like a complete plonker.

    The rest is history, Everton conceded and Barkley blanked. Walcott scored a brace and Silva scored. Aguero got injured.

    And now I find myself about to spend my 2FTs on Aguero & Amalfitano > Walcott & Lukaku.

      Ramsey's ownership dictates to keep. Whilst Ozil is delivering, you have to think that his ability to pick out the forwards, will see Walcott score goals. Goals count for more than assists and whilst Ozil will chip in occasionally to, Walcott will outscore him for goals. So for me, the logical thing to do is to keep Ramsey, unless you are very very brave to get rid. Then do the sideways move from Ozil to Walcott. Allowing you to gain a differential for the time being, catch the price rises + invest that change elsewhere.
