Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Monday

It’s nights like this that separate Fantasy managers from the typical football fan. Sunderland’s home game with West Ham may not offer immediate appeal to most folk, but for us, the chance of a Vito Mannone clean sheet makes our Monday viewing worth the while:

The Black Cats have kept out their opponents in two of the last three at the Stadium of Light, and with a pair of double Gameweeks still to follow, their main Fantasy assets are central to our thoughts this evening. Adam Johnson owners will be frustrated, though, with the wide man left on the bench once again by Gus Poyet.

Sam Allardyce’s side will be looking to build on last week’s home win over Hull – a victory tonight would take them 12 points clear of the Wearsiders and give the Hammers breathing space ahead of a tricky schedule which sees them square up to Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and City in the remaining six Gameweeks.

Our Twitter feed has the latest news from the Stadium of Light, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is once again open for any folk wishing to vent in real-time.

      Suarez, I expect. Although if I was going non-Suarez, Hazard. Chelsea do score a lot better at home.

      Expect Mannone to be busier for save points but Speroni better chance of CS.

    The agony and the ecstacy:

    Nolan YC, combined with Adrian's 6th save, knocks me out of 1st place in my H2H ML. I curse myself for ever having brought him in when I "knew better".

    Adrian YC in extra time restores my position. I congratulate myself for managerial prowess.
