Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Sunday brings the Gameweek to a close with a trio of matches featuring an array of Fantasy talent. Things get rolling with a pair of lunchtime kick-offs, as Villa host United and Swansea make the trip to Carrow Road to face Chris Hughton’s Norwich. That’s followed by the headline act, as Andre Villas-Boas looks to continue the Spurs revival against a Liverpool unit weakened by a string of injuries.

While the press will be focused on David Moyes, Fantasy managers will be more interested in Wayne Rooney’s performance. With a potential absence for Sergio Aguero looming, the United striker could make himself “essential” over the Christmas period if he can produce in the midlands. With Michu expected to earn a run-out at Norwich, we’ll have the opportunity to assess whether he can join both David Silva and Theo Walcott on our midfield Christmas list, while at 4pm, all eyes will be on Luis Suarez as he looks to overcome the absence of skipper Steven Gerrard and strike partner Daniel Sturridge against the Spurs back four.

Look to our Twitter feed for the latest teamsheet bulletins, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain available throughout today’s three fixtures.

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

    May have just done the following

    for a -12

    Aguero -> Rooney
    Ozil -> Wally
    Morrison -> Silva.

    Leaves me with the following

    Migs (Lewis)

    Coleman / Mert / Terry / ( Rosenior / Ward )

    Silva / Fer / Hazard / Walcott / ( JWP )

    Lukaku / Rooney / Suarez.

    So all in all -12 but I'm happy with that team.
    Hit me folks.

    Thoughts on this for a -8. Brady (ugh), Ozil + Kun > Silva, Walcott + Negredo. 0.1 wriggle room when Brady drops tonight but don't want to risk Kun dropping as well

    Not overly happy taking a hit to replace Ozil but needs must and I would take a double digit hit to get rid of Brady!!!

    Leaves me with...

    Panty (4.0)
    Mert Distin Vlaar Ward B.Turner
    Wally Silva Hazard Ramsey Ravel
    Suarez Rooney Negredo

    I'm thinking about the below transfer if Aguero is out for an extended period of time.

    Aguero, Brady and Ramsey to Berbatov, Walcott and Hazard. (-8)

    I have 2.3 in the bank and the below team.

    Howard, Harper
    A. Williams, Coleman, Shaw, B. Turner, Gabbidon
    Ozil, Silva, Whittingham, Ramsey, Brady
    Aguero, Lukaku, Suarez

    I feel the other realistic options are Aguero and Brady to Negredo and Walcott or Aguero and Brady to Rooney and Cabaye.

      Did i saw right that Rooney played little more than usually below today? I mean, he dropped more and make the play on midfield. I am afraid he is going bad direction on fantasywise. Am i wrong?

    Here is my gameplan:

    GW 17:
    Lallana, Aguero → Negredo, Walcott [-4]

    GW 18:
    Fonte → Chester

    GW 19:
    Lovren → Turner

    GW 20 or 21:
    Negredo → Aguero

    This juggling will actually enable me to acquire Walcott and drop some dead weight. If Aguero never got injured; I could not risk pulling off a move like this and would have to remove someone like Toure or Rooney for Walcott.

    This is a blessing in disguise for me.

    That leaves me with the following in the new year:

    Howard, Myhill
    Jagielka, Distin, Turner, Chester, Baker
    Toure, Ramsey, Walcott, Bacuna, Meyler
    Suarez, Aguero, Rooney

    My only unresolved concern would be as to how I can upgrade Bacuna (4.7m) and Meyler (4.3m); as they are dragging me down; but not an immediate concern.

    Do I take a hit?

    Do I wait until GW 20 or 21 and make a move?

    Do I alter the plan?

    Cheers!
