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.

    Oh well my galaxy tab is gonna be broken right over my knee on monday when i buy a new one right there in the shop and then drop thw parts in their tech-refycling, hopefully this new wont be an monday-example....

    why, because of so many things but what really made my decisioin was last night, close to pricechange.
    The b*s*a*d machine locked up, not once as usuall but everytime i hit transfer on fpl and started working.
    I was going for Mata and Soldado out, never got them sold..... was going to get Sanchez and Pod from Arsenal.
    Today i was 0.1 short as Sold(ado) dropped again and never got sold.....

    Gonna WC after the game today i think?

                    Now I see you really did mean Nathan Dyer, what'd wrong with that ?
                    Home to WBA is a premium fixture, only City were at home of the big teams but they were up against traditionally resilient Stoke
                    Sure it's a punt on a differential and it's worked out - but it's far away from a daft move from someone who doesn't know what they're doing
                    Chin up and stop moaning about being out-played!

                I think he did exactly the right thing and got a lot of abuse for saying it last year......

                Asked this in the midst of the Costa meltdown so it got lost, but...

                It's wise to hold off transfers until like, days before the next gameweek, especially after the international break, right? Doing transfers before the internationals just seems like too much playing with fire to me.
