The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

3,335 Comments
Share

As Luis Suarez continues to make football look easy, rendering Fantasy football a simple game in the process, we tot up another ridiculous points haul whilst turning attention to the day’s three o’clock kick-offs.

Six matches follow shortly, including Man United’s attempt to avoid the unthinkable – three consecutive home league defeats. They face shot-shy West Ham at Old Trafford, while the not so shot-shy City take a trip to take on Fulham at the Cottage, without the goal power of Sergio Aguero.

Stoke and Sunderland host Villa and Norwich respectively, while Palace look to continue their recent revival with a Selhurst Park clash with Newcastle. Managerless West Brom round things off as they take on Hull City at the Hawthorns.

Look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news from these encounters, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains ajar for those partial to some real-time reaction.

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

      I think the Average may be high this week, especially if Ramsey or Hazard get into the points...
      but overall should be green

        Nasri just very rarely seems to get in on the act in these drubbings.

        Howard means I can't afford a Nasri -> Wally/Silva trade the following week though. Is Lloris a decent option? Lloris, Howard, Szczesny and De Gea all have good fixtures up to the end of the WC window...

          A lot depends on what you want to achieve, as Yaya's price rocketed he is a bit tricky but most reliable.

          If you have only Ramsey, then Walcott would be a perfect addition but noone from city with the number of goals is hard to survive, and Yaya seems to get something every match and is less injury prone then lets say Silva

      I don't like Negredo for his price & he was quiet today. Remy has Stoke at home this week & could easily score even though he blanked again. Sterling has 2 away games v Man C & Chelsea coming up so he's not an option imo. If you have to just sell Remy. Don't take a hit.

        For me it was the Evra incident and his reaction/responses to it. It's not just a vague dislike. I am happy to leave loyalties aside for picking players for FPL. I would feel terrible getting points from him though, so I am content with just aiming for my personal targets this season now.
