Saturday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 5
Filed under: Dugout Discussion - Posted by: Akers
We start Gameweek 5 at the Liberty Stadium, as Michael Laudrup’s Swansea host Everton. The Dugout Discussion is open, so come in and follow all the day’s action amongst fellow fantasy football managers. The team news is in and there’s one or two surprises…
Swansea XI: Vorm, Rangel, Tate, Williams, Davies, Ki, de Guzman, Michu, Hernandez, Routledge, Graham.
Everton XI: Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Jagielka, Baines, Osman, Pienaar, Coleman, Fellaini, Mirallas, Anichebe.
Following their defeat at Aston Villa last time out, Nathan Dyer and Leon Britton drop to the bench with Ki Sung Yueng and Pablo Hernandez coming in.
Having scored on Monday night against Newcastle, Victor Anichebe earns a starting berth, replacing the injured Nikica Jelavic.
There’s another five Premier League fixtures to enjoy after Swansea and Everton do battle – so plenty of fantasy points on offer all round. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is the place to see them roll in, which can be accessed right here.

Somalion - The Deadline day has robbed us of the greatest player to ever grace the EPL. Nicklas Bendtner, you will be missed. says:
I wouldn’t worry, I’m only on 14 but this GW has been strange one. I mean your team looks very good. Just one of those weeks.

goonerbyron says:
Repost…
Quick question, would you guys say Federici -> Begovic is a good transfer choice for me for the next GW or would you say I have more pressing transfers??
Team…
Foster – Federici
Cole – Baines – Demel – Cuellar – Hughes
Bale – Nolan – Pienaar – Michu – Guthrie
RVP – Tevez – Podolski
Cheers for any replies!!
September 22 at 5:25 pm

September 22 at 5:33 pm

I taught Ashley Young how to earn penalties says:

September 22 at 5:25 pm
Berba Fett says:

September 22 at 5:25 pm
TA18 says:

September 22 at 5:28 pm
Manani says:
considering my a.cole got 12 on his own, yes
just one of those GWs really, with 6 to play, anythin could happen
September 22 at 5:26 pm
Shaps says:
The cheap forwards are doing the business these days (fletch Berb Lambert Defoe)
September 22 at 5:26 pm
Manani says:
zab>baines next GW?

michu
Torres

September 22 at 5:30 pm

Marouannie! Get your guns!!! Fantasy UCL code 1208736-421041 says:
Given as an OG to Clark
September 22 at 5:28 pm
EpicFAIL - AVFC <3 says:
Own goal.
September 22 at 5:28 pm
Nitin Nagaraja says:
I hate Villa defenders!
Had Lowton when Clark scored.
Had Clark when Lowton scored and then he goes and scores an OG.
September 22 at 5:29 pm
In Like Flynn says:
OG should get the assist I think.
September 22 at 5:27 pm
Reacher says:
sorry if this has been done to death i have just finished work, anybody out there who knows the rules please tell me if Peinaar will get the assist for Everton’s 2nd goal??

In Tommy We Trust says:

Brunt, Long, Ridgewell, Gervinho

Nitin, I’d just like to say sorry for recommending you play Clark…I thought he might get a goal, just not that kind of goal
September 22 at 5:31 pm
Nitin Nagaraja says:
Having him and Dyer is irritating!

Wow wish i had read this post and listened!
milanista can you tell me for definite if the Everton 2nd goal is no assist or Peinaar’s please?
September 22 at 5:30 pm
Quish_ says:
A) Dyer > Morrison
B) Dyer > Sterling
I have Michu and only Foster from West Brom. Any ideas guys? Thinking of B since it saves me some $
September 22 at 5:30 pm
tapper says:
considering to get rid of petric, which one of these will be better: lambert or berbatova or fletcher??
September 22 at 5:43 pm
v12w12 says:
Berba
September 22 at 5:45 pm
Guinney says:
I’d say Berbatov. Fletcher a close second but I think Berbatov is a better long term option
September 22 at 5:31 pm
Pratik says:
I forgot to adjust the code for the refresh score link on the uefa council site…It’s all working now.
Avg score on the serie a is 25.2
September 22 at 5:32 pm
King Cabbage says:
I think it might be a little too early to give up on Michu.
Swansea do have Reading and Wigan at home after Stoke. You just know if you take him out now, he’ll rip it up in those 2 games.
September 22 at 5:38 pm
I taught Ashley Young how to earn penalties says:
So Baines, Fellaini or Pienaar if you had to choose one? Whats the general consensus?
September 22 at 5:41 pm
v12w12 says:
Fellaini for me.
September 22 at 5:44 pm
Guinney says:
I’d say have two of them in your team. Baines and one of Fellaini and Pienaar
September 22 at 5:42 pm
BOOM SHAKALAKA says:
Ivanovic, Graham -> Baines, Berbatov worth 4 point hit?
September 22 at 5:46 pm
Guinney says:
Yes
September 22 at 11:43 pm
andrewlimkh says:
yes
September 22 at 5:44 pm
v12w12 says:
1st draft of WC.
Any thoughts fellas?
Jaas/ Foster
Baines/ McAuley/ Gibbs (Lowton/ Reid)
Yaya/ Fellaini/ HBA/ Gervinho
RVP/ Tevez/ Berbs
Will wait until all games played this week………..cheers.
September 22 at 11:43 pm
andrewlimkh says:
solid
September 22 at 5:53 pm
Guinney says:
I really want to get in Baines. I have nothing in the bank and 1FT transfer so might try and get him over the space of two weeks. Any thoughts how. Also my bench is woeful. I actually thought Noble would be a good signing.
Howard
Cole – Hangeland – Gibbs
Pienaar – Bale – Yaya – Michu
RVP – Berbatov – Tevez
subs: Fed (inj), Noble, Barnett, McCarthy (isn’t playing these days)
I could downgrade Howard, then upgrade Cole.
Downgrade a midfielder (yaya) and upgrade a defender
September 22 at 6:21 pm
Home Run Baker says:
Tevez and Dyer —-> Berbatov and Pienaar?
September 23 at 4:35 pm
MJ6987 (Atalanta) says:
You don’t think it’s a bit premature to dump Tevez?
September 22 at 11:26 pm
ValterPereira says:
Does anyone know why Pienaar didn’t get an assist for Mirallas goal? Also, why Southampton 3rd goal was considered an own goal and Everton 3rd goal was not? I really don’t understand…
September 23 at 10:20 am
dracoira says:
Should I take a 4 point hit for Hangeland to Baines?
