Sunday’s Dugout Discussion

Spurs and Everton get our Sunday started down at the Lane with a 1pm kick-off, followed by Liverpool vs Blackburn and Sunderland vs Fulham at three. Around all that, we also have the largely academic Carling Cup Final to absorb.

Early team news from the Lane finds Redknapp starting with Pavlyuchenko and Defoe up front. Modric and Kranjcar both start in midfield and Bassong comes in for the injured Ledley King. Bale keeps Assou-Ekotto warming the bench. As for Everton, Anichebe and Rodwell both get starts with Saha strangely “not in the squad”. and Donovan benched. Yobo and Jagielka help to make Everton’s bench recognisable again as Distin and Heintinga take up the centre-back roles.

The Dugout Discussion live chatroom is now open to capture your Sunday best.

    And Song’s net transfers in continue to climb, despite his ban. At +1200 for the day, so far!

  2. Yep , exactly what I’m doing

  3. Brevenge says:

    Anyone know why Saha was out today?

  4. SammyC says:

    Hughes 3bp!

    hennesey gomes
    vermaelen evra dunne baird terry
    n’zogbia o’hara cohen fabregas milner
    drogba zamora rooney

    just looked at the fixture list and realised that i only hav 6 players playing next game week out of 15!!

    what do i do!

    thinking of bringing in saha and bentner then have no idea what to do

  6. Vlad says:

    Fletcher has got an ASSIST!!!Wooohooo!

      • Keenie says:

        Boooooooooo

        Given the change has happened more than 24 hours after the game and TV pictures weren’t wholly conclusive about there being a touch, I’ve emailed them to complain. Desperation is a wonderful thing.

  7. kamdaraji says:

    no bonus points for gerrard!

  8. anti-lampard says:

    None for Gera?

  9. burton870 says:

    hughes 3
    hangeland 2
    davies 1

  10. denial says:

    What are people’s views on Valenica? Worth getting back in?

  11. jamboken77 says:

    Who got the BPs then?

  12. Mr.C says:

    That was officially my worst week ever! 28 points, woo!

  13. 75 points well happy with that but now 5 players not playing and zayatte. Have 2 free transfers so can field a team without hits which is what i’m hoping todo.

    Want rid of gera and one of ivanovic and modric. Who should I get rid of and who for?

  14. kamdaraji says:

    are the liverpool bonuses in yet?

  15. athtrasna says:

    Baines has no fixture during the week right?

  16. Mighty says:

    F*** SAKE! Lost head to head over the bonus points. Alexander to Hughes just cost me 13 points difference. Brutal week.

  17. SuperDunny says:

    Torres 3BP! That is pretty funny

    • jamboken77 says:

      Why did he play shite apart from the goal?

      • SuperDunny says:

        Decent first half, barely touched the ball in the second half.

        I was a tough game to judge really for bps

        • jamboken77 says:

          Nice to see Liverpool have turned it around then haha! Might not get him in next week then…….

  18. Big Dunc says:

    all BPs to fulham? dammit

  19. jamboken77 says:

    73 points at close only 3 not playing next week, back of the net!!

  20. JWF says:

    Wow that Fletcher assist just cost me my H2H by 1 point. Bummer.

    • I had a massive match vs Denial. Did all my transfers last week so I didn’t have to take hit this week. Just won the heads up to hopefully put me up for a top 3 finish.
      Wish Id taken Robinson to Jussi hit though.
      You have it sewn up already JWF so no worries there.

      • JWF says:

        Congrats on your win. I don’t think for a second that the league’s sewn up though, only two wins in it now. I’ve had a very poor run recently. Still, keeps things interesting at least!

  21. Today went well, decent week in the end. Why doesn’t gerrard get boni anymore?

  22. thehodge says:

    my teams in a right mess next week so it looks like i’ll have to take a points hit so i was thinkin:
    drogba – rooney
    shawcross – baines
    modric – pienaar
    saha (if injured) – bendter
    12 point hit
    good idea?
    judging by the tweet is saha out?

  23. alex234 says:

    milner drogba zamora –> torres bendtner pienaar ???

  24. honkey says:

    Jensens assist has been taken off… what a terrible terrible terrible week!

  25. jimmythegent says:

    A Hughes > Bikey

    what a great transfer that was

    • SuperDunny says:

      Exactly the same one here mate. Shocker eh, i was gonna do it next week but felt i could take the hit against my H2H rival so i did it this week. Oh well…

      • jimmythegent says:

        Ah well hope it pays in the long run. Frees up the cash for the run in.

        Got 51 in the end with no hits

  26. Tommy K says:

    dear God, Saha injured shawcross sent off can my players stop dropping like flies just FOR ONCE!!!!!

  27. honkey says:

    I nearly brought in Ricketts and Gerrard, but then changed my mind and brought in Alexander and Kuyt… nuff sed!

  28. Mighty says:

    Fletcher has been given the assist. What an absolute farce the FPl has turned into.

    • rambo123mop says:

      it was an assist though

      • Mighty says:

        Not a chance, it’s been discussed plenty on here, and if anyone touched the ball from the goal kick it was the Portsmouth defender.

        • rambo123mop says:

          th ecommentators said fletcher assist and it said fletcher assist in the match report aswel

          • Keenie says:

            And journalists know how much about the game? They write their reports off live pictures so have less chance than the rest of us for getting it right.
            If all Jensen owners / rival-owns-fletcher-types email FPL, might get it changed back. They made the change outside their 24 hour window, too.

            I think it could’ve gone eitehr way, so changing it just seems stupid.

          • Mighty says:

            Mate I seen it with my own eyes. I will watch again on MOTD2 tonight. The majority here say it was rightly a Jensen assist, and I agree.

  29. rambo123mop says:

    had i captained nearly anyone but kuyt it wouldve bben a good week for me

  30. ToonTom says:

    Was Aurellio injured today anyone?Im an Insua owner….!
