Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 4 – Monday

Gameweek 4 comes to its conclusion this evening as Hull play host to West Ham at the KC. It’s one of those occasions where a goalless draw may best serve Fantasy managers – neither team has a midfielder or attacker with over 3% ownership in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, a clear sign of our lack of faith in their respective attacks.

The team news is in and sees Steve Bruce make two changes from the side that lost to Villa last time around. New boys Mo Diame and Abel Hernandez both come into the starting XI at the expense of Tom Ince and Paul McShane, while fellow deadline-day signings Hatem Ben Arfa and Gaston Ramirez are afforded a place on the bench. James Chester is also amongst the subs as the Tigers boss opts for a four-man backline.

Sam Allardyce makes a trio of alterations to his first-team. Guy Demel comes in for Joey O’Brien at right-back, while summer signings Diafra Sakho and Enner Valencia get the nod as Carlton Cole and Ricardo vaz Te drop to the bench. Carl Jenkinson recovers from injury to be named amongst the subs along with new boys Alex Song and Morgan Amalfitano.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      I think your best bet is to hold on for one more week, especially with Rooney playing behind the strikers.

    Do we have any idea about possible price risers tonight, lads?

    Is it ever worth getting rid of a defender for -4?

    Tempted by Hangeland (not playing) -> Bardsley (vs qpr), which will leave me enough money next week for Aguero or Sanchez.

    Thinking of wc, any thought yay or nay?

    Krul Foster
    Yoshida Terry Bartley Davies Caulker
    Hazard Eriksen Sterling Ramsey Siggy
    Jovetic Costa Naismith

    Any thoughts?

      I would. That defence is all over the place and the attack not looking the strongest either.

    Stoke facing QPR then Newcastle - time for a Bojan revival?

    Ddg (Elliot)

    Baines - Cahill - Robertson - Wisdom - Bartley

    Hazard - Ramsey - Sterling - Aarons - Marney

    Naisy - Costa - Balotelli

    1 FT - 1.7 in bank

    Few questions:

    Thinking hazard/Balotelli/ Cahill out...

    1. Balotelli and hazard > Aguero and Fab (-4)

    2. Balotelli > Falcao

    3 hazard > any mid
