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.

    Think I'm gonna WC, I always do at this time. Though not too sure if its hugely needed.

    Begovic 4.0
    Caulker Blackett Terry Wisdon Dummett
    Fabregas Siggy Eriksen Ramsey Albrighton
    rooney Costa Dzeko

    If I was to WC, it'd be Dzeko, Caulker, Blackett, Begovic out for sure, and maybe Eriksen if he does nothing tomorrow and maybe Rooney too.

    I get cursing your luck (as I am this week) and enjoying any success that may come your way.

    I however don't understand people who enjoy the failure of others and those who make transfer plans before 3.15 on a Saturday for a GW kicking off in a fortnight.

    Strange.
