Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

After a subdued Saturday programme, Sunday explodes on us with veritable feast of football featuring five of last season’s top seven sides. While Chelsea’s visit to the Etihad at tea-time is undoubtedly the headline act, we’ve plenty to keep us engaged until the 4pm kick-off.

The day begins with a pair of fixtures, with Leicester looking to continue their impressive start to their campaign against Louis van Gaal’s United redux, whilst at the Lane, Spurs will be seeking to dish out further punishment to a West Brom side that’s faltered out of the blocks so far.

That’s rounded off by the main event in Manchester, with Everton’s Goodison clash with Crystal Palace running alongside it. Fantasy managers look set for a eventful afternoon,then, with the day’s events potential turning Gameweek fortunes on their head.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news and key injury updates as the night draws in and Gameweek 5 draws to a close.

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

  7. Pooodle

    Worth a wildcard? Changes in caps.

    Begovic, Krul
    Baines, Clyne, Taylor, Rio, Chester
    Rambo, Hazard, Mata, Siggy, Marney
    Rooney, Costa, Naismith

    FORSTER, 4.0m
    CHAMBERS, Clyne, Taylor, DUFF, MOORE
    Rambo, FAB, DI MARIA, Siggy, STERLING
    Rooney, Costa, 4.4m

      1. Pooodle
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        What would you recommend? Maybe just Mata -> Sterling? Annoyingly can't see an easy way of getting Di Maria in for him...

        1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Hazard and Mata to Two of Fábregas, Sterling and ADM

    Bank = 0.2
    FT = 2

    A) Dummett > Moore (save 1FT)

    B) Dummett & Ramsey > Baines & Chadli

    C) Krul > ?

    D) Sell an FT to the highest bidder

    1. Pooodle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Dummet -> Duff?

      1. Mojo Rojo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Hmmm perhaps... he's 36 though. Not sure he'll keep his place as the season progresses

  9. The Ginga Ninja

    Sanchez and Rooney -> Falcao and Aguero

    1. 4vets
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Alexis Sanchez is a mid...

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        What about De Gea > Aguero?

        1. 4vets
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I'd do Krul > Kun !

    2. big oak
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      and next week you will want falcao>>> rooney?
      one of falcao and rooney should be there
      falcao seems to be injury prone but explosive
      rooney is more consistent and more guaranteed starts
      id go for di maria :p

    1. Rats Ass
      • 14 Years

      Don't know what the bookies think but I'd say pretty good.

  25. Nomar

    9 years, 7 months ago

    As I expected, Leicester getting in Utd's faces and giving it a go, denying them space. as a result, Utd looking ordinary.

    If they're watching this every QPR player should be thoroughly and utterly ashamed of their 'performance' at Old Trafford last weekend.
