The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 3 – Saturday

Saturday afternoon continues with a quintet of fixtures to entertain us before Everton square up to Chelsea later on. For many, the main focal point will be at the Etihad as we look to see whether Sergio Aguero will be let off the leash against Stoke, with Stevan Jovetic’s owners anticipating another home brace from the Montenegro striker.

Newcastle have been heavily backed in this week’s Scout Picks and we’ll be hoping to see new boy Siem de Jong justify our show of faith ahead of a very kind run of fixtures. Fantasy managers will also get to run the rule over Palace’s potential in the St James’ Park encounter as Neil Warnock takes the helm for a second time.

Elsewhere, Fantasy favourites such as Steven Caulker will be hoping to make an impact at home to Sunderland, while Gylfi Sigurdsson’s growing band of owners are expecting returns for the third Gameweek in succession as Swansea prepare for the visit of West Brom. West Ham welcome Southampton to Upton Park as Big Sam pins his hopes on Mauro Zarate to inspire his side to another win.

You can look to out Twitter feed for all the lineup from today’s matches.

      sterling, ramsey, di maria, siggy, FABREGAS
      costa, DZEKO

      Since I don't have spurs cover, I am thinking of getting ADEBAYOR for dzeko. As a result, I will be left with no city cover. So Fabregas to Silva.
      Is it worth selling Fab to get Silva??

      Having Rooney and Mata in my team seems crazy given United are so poor. Captaining Rooney today on top of that was Def based on past form and rep rather than looking at the form and fixtures in the cold light of day.

      Tempted to put siggy captain today but didn't have the stomach for it.serious respect to those that captained him if there any put there

      Losing Mata I agree with - I took him out last week and still don't regret it. Dropping Roon ahead of QPR is asking for trouble though, especially with few big strikers in form.
