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.

    Yesterday 2pm - Ramsey (c), Costa in squad, no hit
    Yesterday 5pm - Costa > Jovetic (c), -4

    So, a -4, Costa gets 10 points more than Jovetic, and Ramsey yet to play

    -14 already, if Ramsey scores more than 2 than add that as well

    Disgusting

      Liverpool's fixtures are tremendous from now until almost Christmas.

      Sterling is a must if you don't already have him.

      Everton's fixtures from GW 4-12 are pretty good too, as are Southampton and Newcastle. So other than the big teams, those are the teams you may wish to invest in.
