Sunday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 6
Filed under: Dugout Discussion - Posted by: Akers
After Saturday’s feast of action, we’ve just a paltry single encounter to pour over today. However, it’s a feisty Black Country derby between Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion. The Dugout Discussion is open, and the team news from Villa Park is in, and is as follows…
Aston Villa XI: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Bennett, El Ahmadi, Delph, Albrighton, Holman, Agbonlahor, Benteke.
West Brom XI: Foster, Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Popov, Mulumbu, Yacob, Gera, Morrison, Brunt, Long.
Darren Bent is the surprise omission from Paul Lambert’s side, with the England striker relegated to the bench. Albion’s Macedonian defender Goran Popov gets his first league start, and Chris Brunt and Shane Long are back in the side after missing the midweek Capital One Cup tie.
The Dugout Discussion chatroom is the place to follow all the drama, and it can be accessed right here.

Do we think Wisdom will get a run in the Liverpool side?
At 4.5 thats a bargain
September 30 at 6:05 pm
Cosgri says:
for whom?
September 30 at 6:07 pm
All Up On The Interwebs says:
its possible, he has been good while enrique has been konchesky-like. i would expect him to keep his place for sure.
September 30 at 6:06 pm
All Up On The Interwebs says:
also considering Rodgers’ has been rewarding young players who have played well, same for sterling and suso. so if wisdom continues to play well, he will keep his place imo.
September 30 at 6:07 pm
Berbilly Gilmore - Nuevo Gerente del Betis says:
Potentially, but too early to say. He was good yesterday.
September 30 at 6:08 pm
heartsattack says:
Every chance. Does anybody actually know what the fall out with Enrique was about?
September 30 at 6:09 pm
All Up On The Interwebs says:
don’t think there is a fall out, enrique has been playing really awfully thats all. Very, very badly. the youngsters are a lot better than him so far too.
September 30 at 6:10 pm
MartinUnreal says:
He didn’t pick Gerrard in his fantasy team
September 30 at 6:08 pm

Rodgers doesn’t believe Enrique and Downing have the right attitude at the moment.
September 30 at 6:17 pm
benzieyeah says:
possibly, but remember he is a CB by trade, so maybe not too? who knows
September 30 at 6:09 pm

Should Glenn Johnson get the assist for Liverpool… It looks like the ball came off the defender and not Sahin???
September 30 at 6:15 pm

i hope thats true?

Santi/Ba for sure.

Zinedine Kilbane says:
Mignolet (jaaskelainen)
Chico, Johnson, Demel (Fabio, McCartney)
Cazorla, Bale, Ben Arfa, McClean (Britton)
RVP, Suarez, Lambert
Would really appreciate a few opinions. would i be wise sacrificing RVP so i can bring in aguerro and gervinho for britton?? or should i hold on2 rvp for newcastle and stoke, and focus more on changing my defense for now?
September 30 at 6:10 pm
Giggs Boson - Gw6: The Battle for Jenna-Louise Coleman says:
With a GOT grav, of course i will
I would save your FT so you have 2 to play with next week. I see nothing urgent to change, good team 
September 30 at 6:14 pm
Berbilly Gilmore - Nuevo Gerente del Betis says:
+1 Great show
September 30 at 6:28 pm
Zinedine Kilbane says:
greatest show going, just started into the books now to! cheers, think your right, no point making the transfer for the sake of it
September 30 at 6:41 pm
kroky says:
first three books are awesome. goes off the boil after that
September 30 at 6:11 pm
Milanista says:
You have a front 7 you can play every week. No need to have a 5th decent option in midfield. Focus on the defence, its weak.
September 30 at 6:28 pm
Zinedine Kilbane says:
would be great to have the rotation option but, especially with mcclean away to man city this week. The rvp transfer may be needed to fund the defence upgrade
September 30 at 6:20 pm
benzieyeah says:
save a transfer but long term maybe think about that triple(!!!) whu defence?
September 30 at 6:27 pm
Zinedine Kilbane says:
a triple whu defence, how the hell did i find myself in this position!!! happy keeping the double of jaask and demel as i feel its unlikely both will be used in same week, cheap rotators. deff need mccartney out asap. think your right with saving the transfer, cheers
September 30 at 6:28 pm

Snake Juice says:
There are rumors of a Carroll-Ba swap in January.
Insanity from Newcastle if ever true.
Ba would look good in Liverpool though.
September 30 at 6:17 pm
Milanista says:
Carroll+35m for Ba
September 30 at 6:22 pm
Snake Juice says:
This.
September 30 at 6:22 pm
benzieyeah says:
better not be true. we need carroll more than newcastle do!
September 30 at 6:29 pm
Snake Juice says:
You wouldn’t want Ba in your team? Oh my.
September 30 at 6:15 pm
shinyfong says:
Anyone know why yesterday Routledge got sub in but he never get any points?
September 30 at 6:13 pm
Kostja says:
cause he tapped out
September 30 at 6:14 pm
shinyfong says:
what you mean by tapped out
September 30 at 6:19 pm
Kostja says:
He actually did not play yesterday according to FPL
September 30 at 6:18 pm
shinyfong says:
why? soccernet shows he sub in? lol
September 30 at 6:18 pm
Kajagoogoo says:
he played for 28 mins
September 30 at 6:21 pm
shinyfong says:
a player that got sub in even he play for 1 min also will get 1 point lol
September 30 at 6:22 pm
Kostja says:
possibly FPL have ffed up, he should get his 1 point tomorrow than or someday this week.
September 30 at 6:21 pm
shinyfong says:
haha thanks
September 30 at 6:17 pm
TwoKnightsTheKnight (formerly Mak_Gold) says:
Foster – (Federici),
Baines – Demel – McAuley – (Clyne – Cuellar),
Hazard – Yaya – Michu – Pienaar – Guthrie,
RVP – Tevez – (Berba). (£0.1m bank)
As you can see, with Guthrie dropped I only have 10 players for next week. So what should I do?:
A) Berba -> Lambert to field XI
B) Tevez -> Ba, Berba -> Lambert for -4
C) Tevez -> Ba, Yaya -> Bale -4 and hope Berba will be fit
D) Wildcard.

Ciaran clark what an assist!
September 30 at 6:17 pm
Giggs Boson - Gw6: The Battle for Jenna-Louise Coleman says:
If he was in a team that could defend better i’d get him!!
September 30 at 6:26 pm
Soccaholic says:
I needed a defender that would rotate well with West Ham and not be a stoke defender(till gw9 when i bring in ShawX) so Clark it was :p
September 30 at 6:17 pm
All Up On The Interwebs says:
coulda been a goal!

Thank God it wasn’t, would have cost me my h2h.

That’s one way to look at it

Not the way I look at it…
He almost scored another og, hit the post ?!?!!!!!

NO ASSOCIATION Bergkamp is Legend says:
will mcauley’s price rise this week despite his anticipated injury? 7000++ people transferred him in already..
September 30 at 6:23 pm
All Up On The Interwebs says:
depends if they flag him. if they do, he won’t rise because a lot of people will transfer him out.
September 30 at 6:23 pm
Jimmers says:
Unlikely – only at 83% and wouldn’t expect him to close that gap if injured.
September 30 at 6:24 pm
Milanista says:
If he gets flagged people will start transferring him out so he won’t rise. If not he’ll continue getting transfers in.

Hey any advice on my team would be much appreciated.
I’m getting destroyed In my league and need advice from someone I’m not competing against.
Foster(cerny)
Baines, Rangel, jenkinson, (gorkss)
Yaya toure, michu, Morrison, hazard, (Guthrie)
Tevez, ba, rooney
September 30 at 6:32 pm
VanRooney says:
Tevez -> Suarez
September 30 at 6:38 pm
heartsattack says:
I don’t think Rooney is a great option,
September 30 at 6:25 pm
fredwestham says:
Evening all, not a good week for myself…just after some opinions…
Gk and defence I have no issues with.
Front 8:
Hazard Cazorla Yaya Pienaar Guthrie
Berba RVP Lambert.
1.1m in the bank and 1FT…
Considering the following:
Guthrie -> Sterling – and play 5mid and 2 strikers next week, keeping Berba until his return.
Berba -> Ba
Hazard/Guthrie -> Bale/Morrison or Sterling – it’d be a 4point hit but Bale seems to be on form and it’d give me a decent 5 across midfield.
Cheers
September 30 at 8:20 pm

Anyone else keeping Berbatov?
