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.

    So walcott's price will drop tonight, altough I'm not sure if I ever need that 0.1, I want to do the tranny tonight.

    Gotta be one of
    a) bale (safest one)
    b) vdv (most potential / most injury fears)
    c) mata (something between other two)

    Bring me your choice!

    I jumped on the Tevez train, and did rooney-tevez (c) to secure 1st place in my minileague.
    My rival held on to rooney and captained Cisse. That last minute assist from tevez might have saved me.. Thoughts on tevez and the dgw coming up?

      Mancini tends to keep things tight, so I'd bin him 😛 Seriously tho, really depends on forward options available, who you have already, and what appeals. Cisse & Jelavic are in form, and are possibly the only 2 worth swapping imo.

    Hi lads!

    My ML’s are already won, by me.
    I’m sitting around 13,000 place in the overall, and now want to have some fun with FPL. And therefore I just want differentials, and hope for them to bring the goods.

    So please, could you mention me some DGW differentials? 😀

    I shouldn’t be much dissapointed.
    True that Tevez didn’t lived upto my expectations but he did better than RVP.
    I feel for those who did Roo to Kun/Carlos.

    Walcott > Pienaar

    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?

        rather Pienaar than Fellaini I think. Sold Rooney for Tevez, looking at getting him back in for Cisse for Swansea at home.
