Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Sunday has a lot to live up to and, from a Fantasy perspective, it looks to be little more than a scouting mission.

None of today’s four participants have a double fixture in the Gameweek, meaning that, in Fantasy Premier League terms, they’ll be few assets on show that will influence our Gameweek tallies.

Even so, Tottenham’s White Hart Lane encounter with Southampton should tell us plenty about the remaining prospects of their players over the run-in. Similarly, Aston Villa go into their home meeting with Stoke looking for a third consecutive win, with Christian Benteke certainly up for consideration as an end of season differential.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for news of today’s lineups, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is warmed up and ready to go for those looking to scratch that real-time reaction itch.

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

    Tsherwood: wandering what nonsense he shall say after the game bout Eriksen. After he benched him for so many games. and again, this idiot has Paulinho in bench

    in the starting XI for Brazil, its Neymar, TSilva, Paulinho and then whoever else. thats how paulinho is looked upon in importance.

        one can only laugh if one is to go by such perception. Why did he look rubbish? well for starters, because the way TSherwood deployed his players on the pitch.

        If that was the case, then he should continue leaving Eriksen on the bench too, since eriksen also had a dry spell for a good 4 gws. my pt is, these 2 players eriksen and paulinho, even if they play bad a couple, u CANNOT bench.ever. cause theyre so good that its not if but when they will explode again.

        but thats something a bit too difficult for TS to comprehend. but very easy to see of TS asks both Ajax and Corinthians (of brasil) for their respective dvds w/ their players on the pitch.
