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.

    Danny Blind will be good signing in this formation for united.. still think if you Look at some of the transfers that have been this season : Yann M Vila on loan at Inter- he is meant to be a good all round midfielder, Gary Medel went there for £10 Mill, even Isla who is a proven wing back if LvG wants to stick to his 3-5-2, Stefan De Vrij went to lazio and Bruno Martins Indi to Porto, both those guys are promising young defenders who can play in a 3 man defence... all those players would have Improved Uniteds squad. Di Maria is a super player but is not really what United need most right now.

      Makes you wonder what the Utd scouting network is upto.. it is unrealistic targeting the likes of Vidal, they will want Champions league football.

      De Vrij and Bruno M I LvG could have attracted as he has with Blind, Bruno cost about 8 Mill.. De Vrij was 'undisclosed' but not likely to have been more than 12 to 15 surely... Medel is a better pure def mid than any current Utd player.. in short all of those Ive listed combined would be less than one ADiM and would make the Utd squad a much better balanced one

          Well if someone else scored the 2nd attempt it would've been a Schneiderlin assist, so of course it's not a Tadic assist.

          The same with saves.

    Any chance of a Tadic assist for the Schneiderlin goal? Text commentary makes it sound like it could be;

    "Big Sam will do his nut about the defending though as a Dusan Tadic free-kick is allowed to clear everyone in the goalmouth and reach the Frenchman at the back post. His first effort is well blocked
    but he curls the second effort brilliantly into the top corner."
