Saturday’s three o’clock encounters take care of the Gameweek scoring from this point on, before Chelsea end the day’s events with their meeting with in-form Stoke at Stamford Bridge.

To be fair, Fantasy talent looks thin on the ground. Manchester United’s visit to Newcastle would have normally provided the platform for points for some but, with Wayne Rooney’s toe injury putting him out of the picture, we’re left to look elsewhere. Cardiff’s vital clash with Palace offers the potential of this week’s big budget bandwagon, Jordan Mutch, while Robert Snodgrass’ remaining owners will be seeking further returns from their man when the Canaries take on the indifferent Baggies at Carrow Road.

Goals and returns look scarce, then, before Chelsea see us out and, while Eden Hazard and the Blues rearguard are still well represented in our squads, Stoke look distinctly banana skin-like as opponents. It could be an interesting day.

Our Twitter feed will provide all the latest team sheet tweaks, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom will accompany you right through to the final whistle at Chelsea.

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

    As a non-Hazard owner I watched this game from between my fingers. This was the one game I thought I would be punished for selling him. It seemed pretty certain they would win a penalty, and they did, but I was saved by Lampard starting.

    So that's 3 GWs survived with Silva over Hazard now, and 8 GWs since he scored a goal in open play (his hattrick against cavalier Newcastle, which in my view caused him to be identified as the main Chelsea player to stop). I'm taking it one game at a time.

        Yep - it's really satisfying to see a risky avoiding of a player pay off. Particularly when you've developed a strong hunch from watching the player that they won't do that well, and he's part of the template.

        The Suarez/Sturridge captaincy was nailbiting stuff. In the end I simply watched each game and captained the one that played the best last time out.

    When I bought Dzeko last night he was 6.9, 0.1 short of getting Aguero.

    After last night's rise and tonight's rise he'll have gained the 0.1 selling profit and I'll have just enough to do Dzeko > Aguero.
