Derby Day Dugout Discussion
We close out the gameweek this Sunday with two matches that will start a fire in the hearts of the supporters, if nothing else. We kick off as Birmingham play host to their close rivals Wolverhampton Wanders in this weeks Black Country derby.
Birmingham show their measure of consistency by naming the same side that has started their last 11 Premier League games stretching back over three months. Wolves also name an unchanged side from that which fought out a 2 all draw against Hull last week, leaving the likes of Ebanks-Blake to squirm on the bench and Milijas nowhere to be seen.
And with all of the talk this week pertaining to measures off the field in the build up to this game – a distraction Arsenal may be happy of thanks to their demolition by Manchester United last week – we finish the gameweek as Chelsea play host to fellow Londoners Arsenal in a top of the table clash.
As we wade our way through both games today why not come into the Chat Room as the Dugout Discussion is now open and welcoming all arrivals.

Andy has scored fantasy own goals since before the game began.
Should I swap Collinson for Lee? even though Collinson has a double game-week coming up I’ve not been impressed (noticed he only played 61 minutes on saturday) originally bought him in for the West Ham double that was due a few weeks back before it got changed.
Collinson to Lee good move?
I’m getting rid for Nzog
im getting etherington for collison
32% Still have Milner is no one thinking of getting rid?
I got rid for Tuncay. =/
Fixtures do get a lot better after GW29
I´m keeping him!
I will put him on the bench this GW then give him a last chance to prove himself against Burnley.
I got rid for Etherington GW25……Villa may miss 2 GWs & his price will drop, combine with his lack of creativity in CM – i think he is defo worth getting rid now.
They have a great fixtures 29,30,30 and 21!
31
Let’s not talk about Milner in DGW.
such painful memories
got a wooping 2 points last time from him
yes but he’s not doing great in CM role…….he can be re-bought after his price drops if thought he deserves a recall. GW29 may be cancelled as its FA Cup – if they beat Palces the will miss 2 GWS!!
i got rid 2 games ago with a view to coming back in after gw30..hopefully he may have dropped in price too!
:rolleyes:
I’m still in agony trying to finalise my 11….done my free transfer, but shud i keep anelka? take a 4pt hit for Drogba or a 4 point hit for Adebayo (who wud partner Tevez for 1 week b4 Drogba comes in for gw27).
So many questions but I’m also torn as to who to satart cohen (DGW) or Duff (v Burnley)??
would get rid of anelka for drogs if u can
Which 1 to play out of Dunne Baird and Ivan?
baird easy one
Baird if he starts. I am playing Huges this week.
Baird, Fulham at home, Villa will not keep a clean sheet against Man U I don’t think (although Dunne is the bonus points king most of the time if it is going to be tight) and Chelsea will concede to Everton I feel, I am going with Baird myself anyway
have gera and gary cahill who are injured. planning on taking them out for similar priced players. maybe for 2 dgw players but don’t know . any suggestions?
shawcross/nzog would be ideal if u have the leftover $
Bolton fans on Lee

what do people think about lampard i know drogba is back, but could he perform, if he done nothing today he would of gone but…
Saving him until the Wolves while Fabs and Arshavin and Gerrard have been quiet I have no urge to sell him.
I thot FFL was excellent 2say – i never been his biggest fan – (obviously appreciate his charm with goals) but today his all round game from box to box was top class!!
lads i gotta decide now
Adebayor or drogba for zamora???? wat yee tink??
I’d go Drogs, but I must admit that I’ve been nothing but burnt on DGW transfers so far.
Tough decisions this week:
1. Who to captain, N’Zog or Tevez?
2. And who to play, Evra, Baird, Cashley, G. Cahill (1 to bench)?
got to be Tevez c surely?
which to sub is tricky…………
anyone think its worth a punt on Mcarthy for the DGW? I can’t afford nzog.
if you could only have one for the double, bearing in mind fixtures afterwards, etherington or nzog?
Lamps -> Gerrard (long term move)
Piqu -> Drogba
Ivanovic -> Shorey/Boyetta (will Boyetta get minutes?)
Modric -> McCarthy
Costs me 8 points.
Thats Boyata, sorry.
