The Dugout Discussion – Monday

Nine down, one to go as Swansea welcome Hull to the Liberty and hand us some Monday night football to sink our teeth into. Michael Laudrup’s side have offered Fantasy managers a strong source of points at both ends of the pitch in front of their own fans – three of the last four home games have produced a clean sheet and three goals or more for the Welsh outfit:

Jonjo Shelvey’s 14-point haul in the previous Gameweek saw the former Liverpool man earn himself over 161,000 new owners prior to the weekend deadline, though with Curtis Davies back on board after serving a one-match suspension, the Tigers will be hoping to turn in a resilient display.

The big news is that Michu is fit and available to lead the line for the hosts after recovering from ankle and knee problems. He replaces Alvaro Vazquez up top in one of three changes by Laudrup, as Gerhard Tremmel and Nathan Dyer come in for Michel Vorm and Alex Pozuelo. Robbie Brady drops out for the Tigers after a series of disappointing displays since returning from injury.

As always, our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open right through to the final whistle.

    Differentials are only worth it if they actually outscore the other highly owned players eg Ramsey.
    
    Differentiate with captains rather.

      This. I've always had a differential. Cazorla, and now Pablo Hernandez. Not working clearly.

        Sess here. I sold my other differential, Ozil...just when he started scoring... I held him when our ML rival's differential, Ramsey went crazy and rose by more then 1m.

        Of course. At least you don't have to waste trades on them.
        
        This week is a perfect example of a massive differential (c) coming good.

      I mean, pick up someone with lower % but with good prospect for points... Never mind Sess or Pablo H. Instead of Yaya, buy Nasri. Instead of Ramsey go with Ozil and so on. Punts like Sess or Cazorla are a waste of fts imo.

I used to think Suarez needs to stop getting this big hauls pretty soon otherwise captain choices are becoming too boring affair.

But good to see people going for different captain choice this time around. Few places up for grabs with different captains.

My question is who all are still sticking to Suarez?
