Sunday presents two further Premier League encounters with a variety of Fantasy heavy-hitters on show.

Events begin at Anfield, with Liverpool starting life without Luis Suarez with an encounter against a Southampton side ravaged by a summer exodus. It’s a fascinating scenario that’s set to feature an-all start case of assets, including Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling – players burdened by big Fantasy ownership and expectation. The Saints, meanwhile, arrive on Merseyside looking to gel quickly after a flurry of new arrivals under the guidance of new boss, Ronald Koeman.

The day concludes at St James’ Park, as Newcastle host champions City. Manuel Pellegrini will likely field a much-changed side to the XI that suffered a Community Shield reverse against Arsenal. Even so, Fantasy investment in the City ranks has been tempered, with Yaya Toure remaining the top target, finding his way into 20% of Fantasy Premier League squads. Like Southampton, Newcastle present us with an array of new signings to assess, making Sunday a vital opportunity to scout talent.

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

    All these crazy bench scores but none of them come close to Doosra's epic 43 pointer.

        Think it was a Dempsey brace, Ridgewell goal, clean sheet and baps haul and I guess another couple of clean sheets.

        I was reasonably smug last night at all those who benched Siggy & Chester. Today I have Clyne on the bench. Smug grin well and truly wiped.

      Last year I finished a GW with more on my bench than my playing 11. I have yet to see that beaten.

    I know it is not good to take point hits for a defender but is Chambers to Chester for -4 wise.

    Despite having benched Clyne, I'm just really glad that I own him at this stage. With great fixtures on the horizon, expect more attacking points!

    I did call it earlier (sort of): http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/08/17/scout-notes-gameweek-1-saturday-3/?hc_page=11#hc_comment_7950032
