Sunday Dugout Discussion

Filed under: Dugout Discussion - Posted by: Mark

Settle down, we’ve no less than three Premier League encounters to take us into Antiques Roadshow, with Fantasy points hopefully continuing to flow following yesterday’s drama. We’ve opened our Dugout Discussion chatroom to capture the real-time chatter, just in time for our first kick-off at Anfield, as Liverpool face the Gunners. Full line-ups here are…

Liverpool XI: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Allen, Sahin, Gerrard, Sterling, Borini, Suarez.
Substitutes: Jones, Carragher, Shelvey, Downing, Henderson, Kelly, Coates.

Arsenal XI: Mannone, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Cazorla, Arteta, Diaby, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Giroud, Podolski.
Substitutes: Koscielny, Martinez, Santos, Ramsey, Coquelin, Gervinho, Walcott.

Later today, we’re treated to Newcastle vs Villa and Southampton vs United at St Mary’s. With Carlos Tevez delivering on his captaincy promised yesterday, all eyes will now be on Robin Van Persie as he takes on the Saints as United’s chief goal threat in the absence of the injured Wayne Rooney.

Enjoy today’s games, we’ll see you on the other side with the Stock Check…

I haven't really seen any Norwich games - are they a threat going forward? I really want to start Jaask away against Norwich GW4.

  Norwich will have a goal in them... confidence growing & looking stronger with their new signings ... Holt not as sharp tho. Snoddgrass is on everything tho

I get the sinking feeling I've missed something important regarding Zabs, since there's lots of posts on here 2day talking about dropping him......?? Or is it just people shipping out City defenders in general??

  Came off clutching his hamstrings, Maicon is available for next game and City haven't kept a CS. There you go.

    I'm downgrading Kagawa to get RVP. Maloney looks good value.

      I didn't expect much from him but he seems to be delivering. Doesn't get 90 mins though which is concerning.

Speaking of Spurs
Hi guys, I'm usually really good with my WC and save until well into the season. Currently hovering around the outside of top 100k, 60+ bonus from this week...

....however no RVP. No united cover at all in fact apart from DDG. My team at the moment just isn't rotating, 90% of the players are home then away which could end up costing me. My defence is also atrocious.

DDG Fed
McCartney Kolarov Ivanovic Clyne Hangeland
Yaya Cazorla Hazard (from Bale) Michu Noble
Torres Graham Tevez

FT Bale > Haz done yesterday before price hike. So so tempted to just fire the WC please talk me out of it. Or maybe I'm right and if so how to get RVP in without altering a MF I'm super happy with (-Noble)? 0.3 in bank.

  Fixtures don't look too good for either but I think Kagawa may do better.

Small bump but would love comments.

So tempted to WC. Should i guys?

DDG/Federici
Demel/Hangeland/Cashley/Lescott/Fabio
N.Dyer/Michu/Bale/M.Noble/Mcclean
Tevez/Torres/Petric

Goalkeepers look a problem. Lescott, Fabio, Petric are worries. I do have one FT to go. Unsure what to do.

  Why do you think that. he's 9% off a rise.
  - 9 months, 19 days ago
  - #
ktk_interista
is it worth it to do petric-> berba? it would be unfair of jol to drop petric after his brilliant preseason but berba is there to be a starter....i'm leaning to keeping petric for now he has good games coming up. Any thoughts?
- 9 months, 19 days ago

  same issue as me. no point having good games if he doesn't play

so i've activated my wildcard and gone from this:

De gea Begovic
Zabaleta Gibbs Hangeland Cuellar Fabio
Yaya Michu Nolan Kagawa Fellaini
Podolski Tevez Torres

to this:

De Gea Jaaskelainen
Jenkinson Gallas Davies (the swansea LB 4.0) Hangeland Cuellar
Yaya Michu Nolan Hazard Sterling
RVP Podolski Tevez
- 9 months, 19 days ago
- #
1. G-G-Granville
  
  You could do almost all that with an 8 point hit.

    naaa theres 7 transfers out and I'm not done tinkering yet lol

is it worth it to bring up RVP if i already have torres + tevez + podolski upfront?

bear in mind i will have to play my wildcard to bring in rvp….
