Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday rolls on with a set of five afternoon kick-offs, rounded off unceremoniously by a tea-time clash as Hull City host Stoke. Interesting.

Before that, all eyes will be on Goodison and Stamford Bridge where two prime captain candidates – namely Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard, will carry the hopes of thousands of Fantasy managers as they face up to the Fulham and Crystal Palace defences respectively.

The afternoon’s events are completed by West Brom’s trip to Cardiff, while Newcastle host Southampton and an injury-ravaged West Ham entertain Sunderland.

As always, you can look to our twitter feed for details of the major movements on the teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom will take you through today’s matches, right up until the final whistle at the KC Stadium.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        Since you are not a chester owner (I have bad memories of selling him just before he returned)... go on then.

      How long is Kun's injury lay-off? Three or more games and it's a straight swap for me.

      There are too many games leading up to Jan 1st.

      Consider that you will be afforded 4 trades in the span of 2 weeks. I think I might hold the WC.

    My midfield right now is Ravel, Bannan, Yaya, Oscar and Ramsey.

    I only bought in Oscar this week but I would really like Walcott or Silva.

    I have 4.0m in the bank so I could downgrade Aguero to Rooney and upgrade Ravel but that means not getting Aguero back till the Jan Wildcard probably.

    Are these thoughts too knee-jerky?
