Dugout Discussion

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.

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

      on the totalfpl site Moyes was quoted as saying "Danny came off with a sore knee." I suppose we'll find out later in the week how bad it is. But from those comments it doesn't sound like a big issue. I brought him this week so if he's out then my plan to sell Remy will be shelved.

          He didn't get near 60 mins. Moyes post game kinda let slip he was going to be subbed off during the game anyway, but I expect that would be in the 70's. He said something like "We had to sub him earlier than we'd planned".

    Didn't take the hit to get Sterling in for Kim, but my cautiousness with Rooney starting or not meant I (c)ed Suarez and kept pace with everyone else.
