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.

They are not going to change their minds. There is no doubt about what happened, it was clear cut and they made their decision. Live with it.

Forget about Piennar assist and start worrying whether Hazard will start
September 22 at 1:50 pm

Wow, Dyer on already….

Captain Shirokov says:
Not surprised tbh.

Do you guys really think they care about four 15 year olds sending them email complaining about an assist? They make the rules. Be patient and wait.

If you owned Pienaar, I have no doubt that all hell would break loose. You’re the one who needs to calm down, it’s pretty clear that Lateriser is being sarcastic

Rangel could have had two goals and an assist

Trannied out Rangel this morning – SOOOO glad he fluffed his lines

Bemba Da says:
people saying “oh it’s only worth 3 points” are obviously ones without pienaar
assist can also mean bonus points plus how you know we not captain him?
September 22 at 1:51 pm
som3awy says:
First time I agree with you!
September 22 at 1:52 pm
Somalion - The Deadline day has robbed us of the greatest player to ever grace the EPL. Nicklas Bendtner, you will be missed. says:
Even 6-9 points does not justify posting every 10 seconds about the exact same thing.
September 22 at 1:52 pm
thetinkerman says:
I think you’ll find there’s a correlation between people saying it isn’t an assist and people who don’t have Pie
September 22 at 1:53 pm
Captain Shirokov says:
Get over it.
September 22 at 1:53 pm
Adam West = Best Batman Ever says:
Stop reposting you have made your point.
September 22 at 1:53 pm
King Eric - I don't know ... And neither do you. says:
The likelihood of the assist being given is not in direct relation to how many times you post about it.
It’ll be given … now go have a deep breath and a wee nap.

Fellaini is a beast!!
September 22 at 1:51 pm
TheSportsGuy - you say cabay I say hello says:
Everyone who cares about the assist please email FPL – or even better – You can send the mail to vorm and he will send it to the fpl – that way they get your mail and you get the assist.
September 22 at 1:51 pm
thetinkerman says:
If only we were all so passionate about things that actually mattered! Imagine what we could do with all the man-hours put into FPL and FPL related activities…
September 22 at 1:51 pm
thetinkerman says:
I especially like the way that people think that if they keep saying their opinion, it will somehow effect the outcome of the award of the assist.

Graham done much? I’m not sure why I even ask

Could’ve had one assist to Michu. Nothing much apart from that.

No only touched the ball 8 times first half

Malcolm Tucker for England Manager says:
Is there an issue with an assist…?

I must’ve missed it.

JKisthe1 - Los Colchoneros 2 - The Revenge says:
I think so, but I might need some assistance to find out
September 22 at 1:52 pm

Haven’t heard much bikkering about it
September 22 at 1:53 pm
Nitin Nagaraja says:
Dyer on?!
September 22 at 1:54 pm
Limbo says:
6 saves from Vorm so far…
September 22 at 1:54 pm
Smurf says:
I have Pienaar and personally I don’t think it is an assist. The reason being as his first shot (which the assist would have counted for) was hit off the post and then it was his second shot that he scored.
September 22 at 1:51 pm
FORCA INTER says:
also-cross actually touches a Swansea player outside the box on its way across. A slight deflection
September 22 at 1:52 pm
thetinkerman says:
Please see rules.
September 22 at 1:53 pm
Revival says:
What if Mirallis first shot was over the line?
September 22 at 1:57 pm
DH1982 says:
thats not the reason why it wont count. its because Vorm saved it. but its ok if you STILL don’t understand…
September 22 at 2:00 pm
thetinkerman says:
*facepalm*
September 22 at 2:01 pm
Smurf says:
Vorm saving it would bot negate the assist.
September 22 at 1:54 pm
Royal5 says:
LOL @ Rangel

Piennar doesn’t get pts for assist?
faq me!

•Why was/wasn’t an assist given to…?
All assists are reviewed before the points are updated at the end of each day. If an assist still hasn’t been given after this time, please refer to the assist definition in the rules for further clarification.

Miss from Michu one on one with howard
September 22 at 1:55 pm

Pienaar is very very unlucky this year so far

Shouldn’t Tate get an assist for being Everton’s most influential player?

Think he deserves it. Didn’t realise Everton were employing double agents.

Nearly from Michu, great save.

JKisthe1 - Los Colchoneros 2 - The Revenge says:
if Baines has to lose his CS, a Michu goal would at least be small compensation

I’d be happy as a non Baines owner too

The line-ups will hopefully distract everyone.
