Sunday Dugout Discussion

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.

      Seems that way at the moment, it's a bit annoying since I was going to get Jelavic in anyway.

      Just have to hope many in my mini-league stay away from him.

      I am very tempted to get both Rooney out Sessegnon/Walcott out.
      Fellani/Gibson are also considerations.
      Everton look like they are just enjoying football full stop.

    Should I double up on Jelly and Pienaar or get Jelly and Dempsey?

    I'm planning Rooney, Walcott, Larsson, Jevans -> Terry Dempsey/Pienaar Jelavic VDV

    Help? And any more suggestions for good DGW players?

      JT seems like the better option to me, he's a decent goal threat and you would expect 1 cleansheet at least from the two games. VdV looks the most dangerous in the Spurs team he's still playing in a underperforming team.

    Why when goal difference could be there only way to win the league would Mancini put De Jong on for Silva? Yes Wolves put a bit of pressure on City but surely there defence is good enough to with stand it. Bad bad management IMO.

        Yeah hes looking more like he did at the start of the season. This type of begativity from Mancini is what gas made them in this bad position in the first place.

      City +59, Utd +54. City have to beat Utd which is a +2 swing, so at least +7 on Utd. They need the three points more, so it's the correct decision.
