Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 1 – Saturday

With the purr from the Gylfi Sigurdsson bandwagon in our ears, Fantasy managers will now be looking to a batch of three o’clock kick-offs for similar targets. A quintet of afternoon matches await, before Arsenal host Crystal Palace at the Emirates this evening.

Interest in the top bracket looks somewhat limited, although the likes of Stoke and QPR have become unlikely sources of budget and mid-price assets, with the performances of Bojan, Jordan Mutch and Charlie Austin of particular interest. All start this afternoon and, interestingly, Austin is partnered by Loic Remy in the QPR attack, while Thomas Ince appears to be up front for visitors Hull.

Elsewhere, Romelu Lukaku is handed a starting berth at Leicester by Roberto Martinez, despite fitness concerns. Kevin Mirallas is kept on the Everton bench with budget buy Steven Naismith earning a start. Meanwhile, down at the Boleyn Ground, Spurs start with both Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela as expected – although the likes of Eric Dier, Danny Rose and Aaron Lennon are all on the team sheet with Ben Davies, Lewis Holtby and Roberto Soldado amongst the subs.

You can look to out Twitter feed for all the lineup from today’s matches.

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

    Not sure how to feel about owning Jones. He was a rock in defense today and had decent chances from Mata's corners and crosses.

      Am sticking with him. Liked his overall play. Might not grab as many CSs but could be a solid performer. Transfer priority now is to Siggy from Mata or to not

    McGeady will be the band-wagon of the week. Gutted I didn't get him (risk regarding him being a regular starter...now we know!).

    I guess I am nott the only who is thinking about Henderson to Siggy. Hendo against Man City,Siggy against Burnley.

    But his 7 from 8 goals Siggy scored away.
