Saturday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 5

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.

With the exception of Dyer, I am satisfied with everything else today.......

Two questions
a) I didn't see the Mirallas goal, but will Piennar get this assist
b) Suggest Dyer replacements - Looking for someone below 6.7 (Piennar is already there in my team)

My punt in playing Clyne over Williams worked a charm.. 🙂 But also shoulda went against the advice of most here and went Williams > Ridgewell for a hit, in which case I woulda played Ridgewell over Demel.. No advantage point wise there but I woulda ended up with a player I wanted in the long run...

I was disappointed for a moment about losing my mignolet CS. Then remembered that I should be happy that sunderland won't be going home with 3 points!!
