Sunday Dugout Discussion
Filed under: Dugout Discussion - Posted by: Akers
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.

tosey says:
sturridge kicked the ball at the qpr defender who it hit in the box and went outside to sturridge, does this mean no assist?
April 29 at 1:35 pm
Grimmaldi - Send in the Clowns says:
That would be my assumption,

Lad V says:
If after this touch, an opposing player touches the ball outside the penalty area altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is given
Should be no assist, but who knows what the FPL towers decide, they have been very inconsistent this year

maltasi says:
I remember captaining Sturridge in the return fixture..and he got subbed early after Boswinga (who I also had) got sent off! Not my finest FF match of the season!
April 29 at 1:35 pm
★FC Borecelona★ says:
I captained him as well…
April 29 at 1:38 pm
Milanista says:
My worst game of the season. I had Bos red card, Mata 1st half injury and Sturridge(c) subbed because of Bos
April 29 at 1:34 pm
HappyAnkit says:
QPR’s Away Kit is the worst!
April 29 at 1:34 pm
Chris_White says:
No assist according to FPL
April 29 at 1:35 pm
Evs says:
I agree.

If Cech faced free kicks every day for a year I don’t think he would let one in from that distance!
April 29 at 1:34 pm

FPL have given, no assist
April 29 at 1:35 pm

I think that ball hit the defender inside the area and that the assist will be given to Mata.
April 29 at 1:36 pm
Fabreghastly says:
Hope so
April 29 at 1:36 pm
Chris_White says:
Afraid so…

Kostja says:
It would be if the defender would have touched it after Matas touch not after sturriges.
April 29 at 1:40 pm
Lad V says:
was it inside the area? i thought it was outside, if it was inside the box then ‘the assist’ should be given to Mata, based on the formulation in the rules
April 29 at 1:41 pm

I’m afraid you are right unfortunately garg

+1 What are they trying to pull off, the king of the mountains jersey or something?
April 29 at 1:36 pm
Hopper says:
You must be desperate if you’re looking for a Mata assist there, no chance!
April 29 at 1:36 pm
pukey says:
my closest rival in ML has mata, sturridge & torres(c)…
Torres has scored what, 1 goal all season? just my luck for him now to go mad
April 29 at 1:36 pm
nedfoo says:
About that Sturridge aye?
April 29 at 1:36 pm
crystalpalaceRus says:
How can that be an assist, he went for a shot, it hit qpr player, bounced back to sturridge so he hit it again, nothing to do with mata
April 29 at 1:36 pm

April 29 at 1:41 pm
Cheggers - I love Tuncay says:
Good question, probably this -
Vorm,
Evans, Kompany, R Taylor
Dempsey, Bale, Siggurdsson, Silva
Rooney, RVP, Aguero
