Sunday Dugout Discussion
Filed under: Dugout Discussion - Posted by: G-G-Granville
Welcome to a brand new year at Fantasy Football Scout. Hope you all have a happy one.
Now you’ve disposed of your empty cans and pizzas boxes into a black bag, you can settle into your lazyboy and spend the afternoon shouting at your TV screen. We have two games: West Brom entertain Everton and Sunderland welcome Man City to the Stadium of Light.
The teams are in for the opening game, with the main talking point, the omission of Royston Drenthe. It seems there’s not even a place for him on the bench, with Jack Rodwell returning to the Everton lineup.
WBA: Foster; Jones, McAuley, Dawson, Shorey; Thomas, Scharner, Morrison, Brunt; Long, Odemwingie.
Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Distin, Jagielka, Baines, Heitinga, Neville, Rodwell, Osman, Cahill, Saha.
The Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open.

Arshavin It says:
Any thoughts on Rodwell? 5.1 is a nice price. He scored a few goals before getting injured… But that’s just it he seems injury prone. Drenthe seems the same. I’m just not that keen on Osman for some reason.

Ibracadabra says:
Too defensive for my liking and Everton don’t score enough goals to play him consistently throughout the season. As a 5th midfielder on the bench, there are better options. For the DGW only, not terrible, but I’d think Osman is a better option. Maybe pops up with his 1 goal per every 2-3 months during the DGW but chances are slim…

Johnson,Gardener & Sessegnon have been very good during these 45 minutes.
Dzeko, Toure & Bendtner(As always) Have been frustating.

Repost from earlier:
Vorm (Hennessey)
BAE Jones Naylor (Simpson Evans)
Bale Silva Nani Mata (Moses)
RVP Sturridge Ba
1 FT + 0.6 in the bank
Option 1: Bring in Ade for Ba, but I can’t afford it unless I downgrade my midfield and take a 4pt hit. And who do I bring in for Mata/Nani?
Option 2: Mata > VDV even for the short term as CFC have good (ordinarily) fixtures.

Is Helguson Fit For This Gw ??? Why Didn’t He Play Against Arsenal ???
January 1 at 4:04 pm
vwfiesta says:
I am looking to play Brown in gw 22 and 23. Regarding the seriousness of his injury, any ideas on the likelyhood of whether he would be back?
January 1 at 4:07 pm
jamboken77 - Jamie Carragerrrrggghh says:
This GW is tricky, we’re unlikely to get anymore team news before the deadline…….
January 1 at 4:07 pm
Joey Barton and Friends says:
Nani and Sturridge out for Ade and Osman/Donavan would be a four point hit. Does this make sense to anyone else? Already have BAE and Bale. Not keen on VDV
January 1 at 4:08 pm
Chris_White says:
Yes, get Osman imo.
January 1 at 4:10 pm
Manamongst says:
VDV will outscore Osman, Rodwell, Donavan and Hibbert combined…
January 1 at 4:10 pm
GERVINHO's FOREHEAD = ♥ says:
Agbonlahor or Helguson ? Or anyone else under the 8mill bracket ?
January 1 at 4:11 pm
King Cabbage says:
Right.. just done Drenthe to Osman.
Looks like I’ll be playing Enrique.
January 1 at 4:11 pm
IceMan DB says:
Are BAE and VDV both fit?

Silva comin on
January 1 at 4:14 pm
streetkids.com.au says:
Good. Rival has him c. Need him to do FA as he had a 5 pointer coming off the bench for him if he didn’t play. Both on dead equal points.
January 1 at 4:12 pm
jamboken77 - Jamie Carragerrrrggghh says:
Nasri off Silva on. Should’ve stayed at the Arse
January 1 at 4:14 pm
huzzle101 says:
he started well, just not gettin games which he wouldve gotten at the arse but he wouldnt win anything would he …
January 1 at 4:14 pm
S9PKE says:

Right, please take Kompany off now, and then let Sessss let rip with a hat-trick
Thanks.

The only way Kompany will come off is a red card!

Wessex Warrior says:
Have both Westwood and Brown. How frustrating is this going to be if Sunderland hang on for the clean sheet??
January 1 at 4:26 pm
Joey Barton and Friends says:
they will never hang on. never

will vdv and aba play dgw?
January 1 at 4:36 pm
huzzle101 says:
ade yea vdv maybe or might play 60 min each game
January 1 at 6:09 pm
Lanley Staurel says:
Bringing in VDV is a huge risk compared to say Bale or Ade. Im steering well clear.
Looking at fixtures and the option of a WC this is the easiest DGW to decide on having 5 or 6 players Ive seen in a while. Ive got 5 – Baines, Osman, BAE, Bale and Ade and no hits to get them. We shall see……cue huge anti-climax….

Essan says:
what a week(end) eh?
January 1 at 5:03 pm
Essan says:
Well I’m out of the Cup, still top of my mini leagues, so it’s all about moving up the main table now. Question is, who to transfer in for tomorrow?
Already got Bale & Ade for the DGW and not confident Everton will do much. Wondering about bringing Ireland in?
January 1 at 7:20 pm
nixsy says:
After the worst week ever I’m tempted to take a 4 pointer and get Baines in for Wilkinson.
That will give me 5 for dgw – Ade, Bale, Walker, Baines and Drenthe and then I’ll sort it later with the wc
Vorm
Baines – Walker – Jones (Enrique, Mcauley)
Silva – Nani – Bale(c) Drenthe (Allen)
Ba – Studge – Ade(vc)
