Wednesday’s Dugout Discussion
Posted by Mark •
Better late than never, tonight’s Dugout Discussion has opened up its doors to you locals. Get yourself a seat at the bar and contribute your own thoughts on tonight’s action as Burnley take on Stoke at Turf Moor and United look for a quarter-final place against AC Milan in the Champions League.
As this is typed Wayne Rooney, back in the United lineup tonight after his Molineux rest, has already handed Alex Ferguson’s men the lead putting them 4-2 ahead on aggregate. As for the game at Turf Moor, predictably that remains 0-0.
still undecided on young vs milner
i only ask because the last decision i had like this i got horribly horribly wrong…. the option was cohen vs lee… worst decision of the season
leaning towards young myself
im doing gerrard and Tuncay out for both milner and young
Might do Young myself…Everyone will be getting Milner..
while i’m tempted by the hit i’m not a fan
Going with Young based on Villa’s DGW fixtures both being away. Villa’s style of play is counter attacking anyway so I’d expect the pace of Agbonlahor and Young to be at the heart of anything positive Villa produce.
Having said that, one of them will probably get tripped in the box and Milner will slot home the penalty
65 points
Thank you Bent and Tuncay
And United through emphatically
This is what i’m thinking for my team this coming GW
Sorensen (Hart)
Evra, Scharner, Collins (Samba) (Wilkinson)
Modric, N’Zogbia, Fabregas, Valencia (Larsson)
Rooney, Drogba, Zamora
Think i’ve got it right. Can anyone see any flaws?
Not shaw who to captain?
Not a bad week. 65 points.
PODCAST!!
United hump 4-0 and all the talk is about fooking Beckham!! What has football turned into?
The moment he stepped on the pitch it ceased to be a football match, and that was always going to be the case.
To be fair though, as soon as Rooney scored in the second half everyone may as well have gone home.
Who would you get in, Torres or Drogba?
I went with Drogs, Liverpool are too unreliable
Silly question with the Chelsea DGW coming up!
If you have neither already then it has to be Drogba. Remember that Chelsea have a Champions League game next week though before their DGW.
Yeah well i’ll be leaving it until the last minute for sure.
How did Etherington play, sounded like he got a few crosses in?
I have noticed on the Budweiser Fantasy Football site that a lot of the time they give the 3BP’s to players who might not have gotten a good rating from the other fantasy leagues. The Sun, Mirror, Star etc….it can be a bit out in left field sometimes. It seems that the Budweiser judges have their favourites, O Hara, Eagles, Mascherano etc….
i went -8 this wk and fielded 11 players… my rivals only had 7 playin in the end, made no transfer saved his free for next wk. thought i extend my lead nicely despite -8, he actaully net finished 4 points more than me cause of bent…
That’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Rodallega and Bent comprehensivley outscoring Rooney (against Wolves) and Torres (against Wigan) is ridiculous, but that’s the beauty of football and FF.
who everyone having as captain this week? I’m half tempted to do n’zogbia again, it worked out really well in his last double gameweek
Young, Gerrard or Drogba. Real toughie picking a captain for the next 2 GWs.
Between Lamps, NZog, AYoung, Bendy (really!!) and Tevez for me leaning towards Lamps or Young
Without the benefit of foresight (or hindsight for that matter), I’m wanting to get Villa and Everton players in next week when their fixtures are more favourable, but I reckon I could be looking at paying .4m more if I wait. Anyone brave enough to stick with with the likes of Man U, Arsenal and Tottenham players this week then choose DGW players based on results this weekend?
56 for the week , not bad!! How did everyone else get on?
A miserley 38
44 (I think) after an 8 point hit (boo)
Check out this guys first two weeks in the game….not bad at all!!

Very brave lineup!!
how long do we have to wait for the scores on the doors ?
OK, so I’m finally thinking of using my wild card. Who would be your must havs for the rest of the season? Cheers lads.
Collins, Baines, Milner, Fabregas, Diaby/Arshavin, Pienaar/Arteta, Rooney, Bendtner/Tevez… everyone will have them atleast.
Ok good, so I was on the right track. You’ve given me something to think about with Baines and Tevez though. Thanks. Back to the drawing board….
With Brown injured – Rafael or Neville to start at Right Back?
