Sunday Dugout Discussion

United. Chelsea. City. Arsenal. Spurs. Liverpool. Everton.

Last season’s top seven have all already played and soaked up most of the action for Fantasy Managers. However we’ve still got games and we’ve still got Fantasy points on the line this afternoon. We start off by opening the Dugout Discussion for Norwich vs. West Brom…

The visiting side are able to partner up Shane Long and Peter Odemwingie for the first time while captain Chris Brunt and James Morrison drop to the bench with Graham Dorrans and Jerome Thomas coming in. The home side meanwhile continue with the regular bouts of rotation as the likes of Andrew Surman and Elliott Bennett return and Wes Hoolahan has to make do with a place on the bench. Teams in full are…

Norwich XI: Rudd, Naughton, Barnett, De Laet, Tierney, Bennett, Crofts, Bradley Johnson, Surman, Holt, Chris Martin

West Brom XI: Foster; Reid, Tamas, Olsson, Shorey; Dorrans, Scharner, Mulumbu, Thomas; Long, Odemwingie.

Sunday Premier League football will then close out with Fulham playing host to Blackburn as both sides look to fight their way out of the early relegation spots.

The Dugout Discussion will be here for both of these fixtures.

      Why not wait until the next international break? That way you can make money on price rising.

    For me, the game really has lost something with no bonus points on Saturday and Sunday evenings.

    There's no point whining about it and I understand why, I just think it's a shame.

    Not many people mentioning Sturridge. Surely he's good value after scoring yesterday? Or is he too much of a rotation risk?

    Need a replacement for Saha up to 7.1. Any other suggestions?

    Klasnic - bad fixtures
    Zamora - Fulham looked poor today
    Long - already have Brunt, not sure I want to double up
    Fletcher - ditto, have Jarvis
    Holt - not looking good
    Agbonlahor?

    I know it seems awful knee Jerk but having Aguero over Dzeko seems so much more profitable longterm. (from a purely starts point of view)

    Cant see the golden boy benched that often compared to the other two.

      I'm not a fan of several of your players - Sessegnon has performed poorly, and does not seem to be living up to his preseason promise as an in the hole attacking mid. Sinclair has been disappointing as well, the whole team sucks so I don't see him being worth it. And Hoolahan has been coming off the bench, so again, I would avoid. Finally, De Laet is playing for a weak side, and although he has goal potential, thers not a lot of clean sheet potential.

      So I'd in stead keep Sendros and switch out De Laet for Jones. As for mids, I'd look for Walters and a Wolves mid.

    bad 4 point hit this weekend. Zogs-Walcott (c), Sess-Brunt and Torres-Dzeko.. Although the 3 I ditched didn't do anything the three i brought in got 3 points between them if u dont include captaining walcott. But will probably be better of for the long run having ditched the others. So what should I do this week.. Worried about Dzeko now.
