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.

      Come on Costa.. 19 with 6 left to play but my captain is gone. If Ramsey doesn't go too crazy then it shouldn't be too bad this week. Think a good few have him as captain but most would have had the aguero, rooneys and jovetic.

    Was planning on wildcarding from

    Terry Bertrand Chambers (Chester Duff)
    Ramsey Fab Sterling Sig (Wanyama)
    Rooney Dzeko Jovetic

    to

    Krul (Elliot)
    Bertrand Taylor Coloccini (Chester Duff)
    Ramsey Hazard Sterling Sig (Wanyama)
    Kun Rooney Ade

    This would have been a -24.

    However now thinking I could just do Jovetic Dzeko Terry to Kun Ade Naylor for -8 instead

    Thoughts?

            They must have changed the rules, last year Clyne would have gotten that assist, and Gylfi would have gotten one for the Routledge goal as well, this year it seems like the are actually only giving assists for actual assists, where no opponents gets a touch in between. That is if they don't correct in though

            ps. i got both gylfi and clyne

          Just seen the Pelle goal

          Clearly a cross from from clyne. No assist
