The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Another double Gameweek is upon us in a weekend marked by FA Cup semi-finals and remembrance of those lost in the Hillsborough tragedy.

Saturday serves six afternoon encounters as an introduction to tomorrow’s potential title decider at Anfield between Liverpool and City. Fantasy managers will be focused on the double Gameweek assets on show at the Stadium of Light, as a seemingly doomed Sunderland host an Everton side flowing with confidence off the back of six straight wins.

Elsewhere, Palace play the first of their two matches in the Gameweek with struggling Villa the visitors to Selhurst Park, while Spurs will continue their unlikely campaign for fourth spot with a trip to relegation threatened West Brom. Southampton can go a long way to banishing Cardiff to the Championship via their St Mary’s clash, while Fulham and Norwich battle out a six-pointer at the Cottage. Finally, Stoke and Newcastle cosy up to mid-table safety at the Britannia.

Look to our Twitter feed for news of today’s teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is available to those who fancy some real-time reactions.

Im not fussed about Lukaku to be fair. Nearly everyone captained him so it wont make much difference. He also has one more game. And none of my rivals have Aguero is he is already a differential

  This. Aguero going mental will mean a few captainers leapfrog but the reality is he's differential enough just to own at this point.

More wise words by Daniel 😉

20.0% play 4 3 3 from top 10K
Agüero 6.2% captain in top 10K

I see a lot a lot of potential this week. come on Kun do me a Dempsey when I killed those Zamora captains in the double. That launch me in the sky and finished top 30 😉 I have a feeling this is similar opportunity

    Lol. I guess that's a way of seeing things too. I should probably be optimistic, hopefully i'll find a better option than him for tomorrow, although i can't see it right now.

  it's annoying but it's less annoying as literally everyone in my ML has Lukaku (c) and no one has Baines or Aguero, so I'll take the points from them without the armband

  You run carrying the ball in your hands, but have to bounce the ball every few steps and can drop kick it into the goal or over for less points I think.

  6 points for a goal - in between the two inner posts
  
  1 point for a behind - in between the four outer posts
  
  To score, you have to kick it between those posts
  
  Long passes that are caught are free kicks
  
  You can run in any direction
  
  Played on a cricket ground, originally to keep cricket players fit during winter
  
  Most popular in the Victoria state
  
  You can pass in any direction
