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.

    Might not make any transfers but for the long-term which one do you reckon?

    A) Jovetic>Costa
    B) de Jong>Fabregas

    Think Jovetic is getting dropped?

          Chelsea's fixtures are pretty nasty and they're struggling to keep clean sheets.

          Ivanovic's attacking returns make up for that but they're unlikely to continue and for me 7.1 is too much considering those fixtures. Will probably move for him at some point but that price is too steep for me.

          As for Coleman - Everton's defence has looked pretty terrible so far so he's too pricy for me.

    Soooo. What are people doing with United assets?

    Got Rooney and Mata. Want to do Mata -> Sanchez (as an Arsenal fan - think he's going to be indispensable quite soon; CF for Arsenal but classed as a midfielder, don't be surprised if he gets a huge tally vs. Leicester) quite soon, but need to get 0.5m somewhere to finance that. So tempting to cut Rooney out as well. Doesn't look worth it for 10.5..
