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.

      A goal is a goal. Just think, he might get another couple of these before the end of the season, then no-one could dispute that he's back 😉

    So let me get this right! Owning Augero(34%) and Suarez(42%) is common sense but owning Yaya(38%) makes you as casual??

    My rival just went:
    Lampard (c)
    Suarez (vc)

    That should be a major screw up; but only if Lampard plays at least a few minutes. Otherwise, he gets Suarez and continues to not get punished for his repeated mistakes out of pure dumb luck.

    Early days, but:
    Shelvey/Ozil/Ivanovic to Silva/Walcott/Turner for -4?

    Major downside (other than the hit) is that it leaves me with 0ITB, so would have to do it today. Defence would be pretty cheap (coleman/gabbi/olsson/flanagan/turner). Worth the risk?
