The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

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.

For weeks have been patient with GJ and Migs, waiting out their set of nice fixtures. Now, I'm thinking of transferring both out. Anyone else doing this? I'm lost.

  Keep Mignolet as he'll get save points. Get rid of GJ as it's too risky to double up on Liverpools defence atm. People are expecting Liverpool to get dealt to v Man C. I believe Liverpool will win.

  CLick the fixture under your scores and then click detailed stats, you can see them all during the game, the BPS column is where people get the info

      50 with Haz, Ramsey , Lukaku , Barkley and Dawson to go... Torn between choosing Yaya,Silva or Wally for boxing day! A really tough choice but I'm leaning towards Silva bcz of owning Ramsey and no city attacking cover! What do you think?

        I am a big fan of owning Silva and Walcott. Both are great picks but this week, I'd go Walcott over them because West ham are really poor atm

        Fair point, but having no city cover frightens me! Yaya is over-priced but very consistent.Most importantly, being nailed on at this time of the year is worth its weight in gold. What changes did/will you make?

What do you think the best way to get SILVA?
A. Lampard & Ozil ==> Silva & Walcott
B. Lampard & Myhill ==> Silva & Mannone
C. Lampard & Rooney ==> Silva & Negredo
D. Lampard & Redmond ==> Silva & Ward-Prowse
E. Lampard & Ramsey ==> Silva & Cabaye

  B I guess. Sunderland are decent at the back.
  
  A and E are not too bad but don't think you should lose Ramsey as any points he scores ups the average by that much and he isn't showing signs of slowing down just yet.
  
  No to C and D.

Best Panty replacement?

A) Howard
B) Szczesny
C) Lloris
D) De Gea

All have decent fixtures up to the end of the Jan WC (GW24). Howard perhaps edges it, although it would mean I'd be 0.1m short of Nasri -> Walcott/Silva the week after.
