Dugout Discussion April 29

Sunday Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion opens this afternoon, hoping for a similar goal glut witnessed in yesterday’s edition. We’ve two games to pour over, with all four clubs with something to play for. Later we’ll be at White Hart Lane where Tottenham continue to chase Champions League qualification against relegation fighting Blackburn. Before that there’s a West London derby at Stamford Bridge, between Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers…

Chelsea XI: Cech, Ferreira, Bosingwa, Terry, Cole, Mata, Essien, Lampard, Sturridge, Torres, Kalou.

QPR: Kenny, Onuoha, Ferdinand, Hill, Taiwo, Mackie, Barton, Derry, Buzsaky, Cisse, Zamora.

As expected, Roberto Di Matteo has tinkered with his line-up ahead of of a huge night in Munich, but somewhat surprisingly there are still starts for the likes of Juan Mata and Frank Lampard.

The visitors name an attacking line-up, with Djibril Cisse partnering Bobby Zamora up front.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open – with moderators will be on hand to resolve any issues – and can be accessed right here.

        I don't think Stoke will win; in fact, I can't see them scoring.

        I think Newcastle will win. From the Wigan game, Cisse could EASILY have gotten a hattrick, with two on the post. Ben Arfa could have gotten one easily too, he ripped apart the defence a few times.

        Then again, maybe I'm biased, I have both of them and captained Cisse too.

          I know what you mean, but if you're taking a hit anyway to bring a striker in, just pick the one you think will do best. If that's Rooney, home to a team that just conceded 4 at home to Wolves, then get him.

    49 points with Zabaleta, Evans and Tevez to play.

    Bale, Pienaar, Cisse, Jelavic and Dempsey all have 1 more game midweek. Fingers crossed for a ton.

      probably yes. I took Rooney out 2 weeks ago

      Can get him out for no hit, but will likely a 4 pointer to dump McClean or Siggy to Moses.

      I took RVP out (for Jelavic) as part of a -8, and will get him back in for GW37, probably as part of a -4. It's paid off so far...

        RVP: 6 + 3 bonus

        Jelavic 10 + 3 bonus (-4) (-4 for VP back in)

        No, it hasn't paid off so far. But it should.

    @jkisthe1 in a way the Kolarov punt worked out. If I had a decent SGW defender I might not have taken a hit for Walker 😀

      the same with me as far as Jagielka goes, plus the first week I had him he got me Santon's 7 points from the bench. It kinda did work, just not in the way we planned.

      I did look at Walker, the reason I ruled him out was it only left me 0.2 spare to cover off Rooney. By getting Jags I have 1 million, which means it's easy

        Yeah, I looked at the Everton defence and Huth. Didn't fancy the Spurs defence to begin with but VDV was sitting in my team and the BLA, bol under his name looked so good I ended up getting Walker at about 11am yesterday.

    Can't complain too much with my 12 point hit - bought in Pienaar, Jelly, VDV & Terry. Would be bloody delighted if I hadn't taken the armband off VDV at the last minute and given it to Cisse
