Dugout Discussion

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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I think Shelvey's 4 pts last night got me a few ranks up.. But I can't check since the page is fcked. And javascript:$('#navigation').hide() doesn't work for me.

                If Silva is back he may be the better option, or even Ozil via a 4 pointer.

    G16 Captain Choices … What I've been thinking so far.

    Aguero vs ARS (H)
    - 4x double-digit and just 2 blanks from 7 home games
    - 3x brace against United (H), West Ham (A), Spurs (H)
    - 8 assists so far and had just 4 blanks over 15 weeks
    - City scored just 2 goals v Arsenal from last 3 meetings in PL
    - Arsenal kept CS 2/7 away games and conceded 5 goals -- best of league
    - First game (12:45) of Gw16

    Suarez vs TOT (A)
    - 6x double-digit points from 10 games (4H-2A)
    - 4x brace or more against SUN (A), WBA (H), FUL (H), NOR (H)
    - 7 assists so far and had just 2 blanks over 10 weeks
    - Failed to score against NEW (A), ARS (A), HUL (A) … strong at their home
    - Spurs kept CS 3/7 games at home and conceded 7 goals so far

    Lukaku vs FUL (H)
    - 2x double-digit from 5 home games, never away
    - 2x brace against Newcastle (H) and Liverpool (H)
    - Assist is not his strenght. Anyway, just 3 blank over 11 weeks
    - Fulham kept CS 1/7 away games and conceded all games since 31-08-2013

    Rooney vs AVL (A)
    - 4x double-digit games, especially last 3 away games
    - 1x brace this season .. Spurs (A)
    - 7 assists. 3 blanks this season and only once away
    - Villa kept CS 2/7 home games … the last two vs CAR (H) and SUN (H)

    Hazard vs CPL (H)
    - 4x double-digit games (2H-2A)
    - 2x brace this season .. CAR (H) , SUN (A)
    - 6 assists. 9 blanks this season .. 5 times away.
    - Palace kept CS 1/7 away games. HUL (H)
    - Palace conceded more than one goal in 5/7 games. Not last 2 games.

    … Getting doubt with Hazard & Lukaku.
    … Rooney looks best.
    … Suarez looks best for non-Rooney, but Liverpool hit by injuries.
    … Not so sure about Aguero because of Arsenal form.

      Both seem to be pretty logical moves.

      Oviedo is the short term option(which I narrowly prefer) obviously so may need to be transfered out at some point, though he should get you to the January wildcard.
      Out of interest, who would you upgrade to in defense if you got Oviedo? Big hitters there are not exactly doing it atm.

        Mata has started 3 in a row, I doubt he'll start. Same goes for Haz. Willian is definitely starting. Maybe De Bruyne gets a run-out. Lampard will start and play 90 I reckon, he's been on the bench a couple of times. No idea what striker will start. I think Ramires will get a rest as well, played every minute of PL this season.

            That's what I was thinking too. Maybe I'll go for Willian. Have to replace Oscar with someone. Although, I might go for Ribéry, as he is eager to destroy City to show more why he should win the Ballon d'Or, and City might actually give this match up before it starts and rotate heavily. I also have to replace Zlatan, which gives me funds to get an expensive midfielder or even two.

      What do you do if Lukaku becomes essential? Triple defense could be good for Everton but their fixtures are so good you would expect plenty of goals in the coming weeks.
      Another thing, pretty much all of Jagielkas bonus points have come from very low scoring games. Easier fixtures(potentially) lessen his appeal imo

          Been thinking of Delofeu option myself. It's clear the boy is packed with skill and tremendously efficient too, and he has great fixtures. If he just can get minutes, he seems like the potential best scoring Everton player out of well scoring team.

          however, note that Newcastle actually often fares better against the big clubs and Rémy has strong record of scoring against the big clubs too, so it might be ill-adviced to part with him just because he is facing Arsenal and City. Meanwhile, I fear Newcastle won't crack either Palace's or Saints' defence.

    Injuries/suspensions permitting:
    GW17 = Save FT
    GW18 = Clyne & Terry > Koscielny & Debuchy
    GW19 = Davis > Speroni

    Would leave me with:
    Szczesny - Speroni
    Coleman - Chester - Debuchy - Koscielny - Luna
    Barkley - Cabaye - Hazard - Ramsey - Ravel
    Aguero - Rooney - Suarez

    Thoughts? Too much Arsenal?

        Under the impression it's somewhat important to have 2 playing GKs... Have I been misinformed? If I leave Davis I could do Clyne & Luna > Ward & Debuchy instead and keep Terry.

          That sounds better. Two playing keepers make sense if they are say 4.5m each and you are rotating them on a home/away or fixture difficulty basis.

          Speroni makes no sense. I would consider Ward/Gabbi from CPAL though.

      For me C). Ozil is likely to provide more returns than Silva and Walcott is still too unkown. He's had lengthy returns from injury before and for all we know this could be another. Is it possible to afford Distin instead?
