Sunday Dugout Discussion

Filed under: Dugout Discussion - Posted by: Akers

Yet again both Manchester clubs in are involved in Sunday Premier League action. With most fantasy managers cheering on their captain today, the Dugout Discussion opens to follow all the action from the three games on show.

We start at Old Trafford as United look to open up an eight point gap with a victory against Everton. The team news from the match-up is in, and the sides line-up as follows…

Man United XI: De Gea, Rafael Da Silva, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Scholes, Carrick, Nani, Rooney, Welbeck.

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Neville, Osman, Heitinga, Gibson, Pienaar, Fellaini, Jelavic.

Nani returns to United’s starting eleven for the first time in eight games, with Ashley Young taking his place on the substitutes bench. Facing his former employer, Darron Gibson starts for Everton.

Then it’s over to bottom of the league Wolves, where City are in town needing three points regardless of the earlier result. Kicking off at the same time, Liverpool and West Brom are also in action, with Roy Hodgson back at Anfield for the first time since departing as Liverpool manager.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

      he wasted a few chances, welbeck and nani could nick them and im sure jelly will get something! tough call

    Have 9.4m to spend on a midfielder as Walcott has bust his damn hamstring. Who is the best replacement? I miss out on the good ones by .1m!!!

      Mata piennaar barfa bale vdv

      1. Chris_Oblivion
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        Pienaar at the moment is my #1 choice. Have Bale, can't afford VDV or Mata, and already have 3 Newcastle players ;)

    2. stumanchuu
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      I went with pienar

    3. Duffman91
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Bale if you don't have him, otherwise Ben Arfa.

    Vorm / WOL (H)

    Caulker / WOL (H)
    Walker / BLA (H), BOL (A)
    Assou-Ekotto / BLA (H), BOL (A)


    Valencia / MCI (A)

    Cabaye / WIG (A), CHE (A)
    Ben Arfa / WIG (A), CHE (A)


    Cisse / WIG (A), CHE (A)
    Rooney / MCI (A)

    Bench:
    Tevez MUN (H) / Evans J MCI (A) / Lichaj WBA (A)

    Ive already used my 1 FT , any transfers worth a 4pt hit?
    And should i play Valencia/Tevez/Evans J

    1. uʍop ǝpısdn
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      get jelavic for tevez, and bench valencia to play him

      1. ManUFan
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        i was thinking for that, but worth a 4 t hit?

        1. uʍop ǝpısdn
          • Reputation Level: Scout

          id say so

    2. ManUFan
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      1 million in bank

    3. Tom-Dwan
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      play tevez over val for christ sake

  6. Duffman91
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Is anyone selling/benching RVP this week?

    1. ManUFan
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      i sold him for Tevez, and 4 pt hit, 5-1=4 ha ha

    2. JK - All you need is... Shi…
      • Reputation Level: Scout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      thinking about benching.

      1. Duffman91
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        Me too but it doesn't feel right. Stoke isn't that bad of a fixture.

    3. Doosra - Garganega. Glug.
      • Reputation Level: Scout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      May be benching. May keep both Rooney and Van Persie now ...

      1. Duffman91
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        Yeah I want to keep both as I'll want them back for GW37.

    4. Elniñorules - Join t…
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Sold. But on WC.

    5. asyrafdanial
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      maybe selling..give ways to Jelly~

    6. Hate that rotation
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      I need jelly but don't know who to get rid of rvp/Rooney. I'm feeling so sentimental about rvp. I just can't see him going.

      1. Duffman91
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        Same here i've had him for all of his goals this season and last season bar 2. It just feels wrong selling him.

      2. JELLYFISH
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        I know exactly what you mean, I bought him for 11.9 and the thought of me selling him makes me go all funny inside

    7. JackAttack.
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      I sold for Tevez this GW, but will get him back in 37.

  7. Rui
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Are 3 Spurs players too many for the DGW? I already have Bale and Ade and I'm considering getting BAE - should I bring in someone else instead?

    1. Old School
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      As a disgruntled spurs fan I would say 1 is too many at the moment. I have two and that's too much now as we have blown it

  8. Kerrazy
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Reppoost.

    A)Caulker>Hibbert (-4)

    B)Valencia>Pienaar (-4)

    C)Caulker>Hibbert and Valencia Pienaar (-8)

    already have Jelavic.

    1. asyrafdanial
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      B lah

    2. ManUFan
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Have the same problem but look at the last games
      Man utd have swansea and sunderland and swansea have utd, so i would do A

      1. ManUFan
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        it depends if you have to play 1 or if you can bench the other

    3. uʍop ǝpısdn
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      b

  9. asyrafdanial
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Between Cabaye & Ben Arfa , who should get in first ?

    1. Doosra - Garganega. Glug.
      • Reputation Level: Scout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I have no idea - but I do have Ben Arfa. Toying with the idea of doubling ...

    2. asyrafdanial
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      nope doubling atm, ben arfa is OOP right ?

  10. JK - All you need is... Shi…
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    repost

    ok, so my Rooney to Tevez punt was a huge fail. But luckily rival only took 8 points out of me, so still have a 40 point cushion.

    Would love Rooney back for the Derby, but short of a 12 point hit, not gonna happen, so I will wait until 37 and shift Cisse.

    So, my DGW team should look like

    Mingolet

    Caulker, Cahill, Santon

    Bale, Dempsey, Pienaar, Siggy

    RvP, Jelavic, Cisse (c)

    De Gea, McClean, Verm, Evans

    (-8)

    What do we think?

    1. Doosra - Garganega. Glug.
      • Reputation Level: Scout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Well, I think it is tremendous - apart from Bale. Don't see an alternative, though.

      1. JK - All you need is... Shi…
        • Reputation Level: Scout
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Having clung to Bale, I have to keep him for DGW.

        1. Doosra - Garganega. Glug.
          • Reputation Level: Scout
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          That's what I mean. I am reneging on Pienaar, I think.

          1. JK - All you need is... Shi…
            • Reputation Level: Scout
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            on what grounds

            He has great form.

    2. JELLYFISH
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Time for a large gin is what I think ;-)

  11. JackAttack.
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    17 - Arsenal have had a joint-league high 17 different goalscorers this season (with Everton)
    Anyone else find that surprising, on both accounts?

      1. JackAttack.
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        Hmm!
        Just seems that Arsenal are the 'one man team' and Everton don't score any goals.

        1. Doosra - Garganega. Glug.
          • Reputation Level: Scout
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          That is the myth on here. That is why I have persisted with Song - and will get Vermaelen in 37.

          • Reputation Level: Scout

    Grapevine stuff but:
    I've heard a few rumours tonight that I don't like regarding an Adebayor/Redknapp bust-up. Redknapp singled him out, Ade lost his temper.

    Man management superb as always 'Arry.

    1. Lrf
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Do not like that as an Ade owner.

  17. Lrf

    Everyone with Ade keeping faith with him, even if we doesn't get any hints about him beeing ready?

    1. Rui
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      He's done nothing but disappoint since I bought him in but it would be pointless to get rid before a crucial DGW. Hopefully the rumour posted above isn't true!

  18. Tom-Dwan

    my gw36 team atm:
    Mignolet

    I feel I have to have a Chelsea player in for DGW, but really unsure who, with the second CL clash with Barca and the FA cup final so close to the DGW. Anyone attack minded in the Chelsea side that is close to soild to start in the prem?
