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.

    Icing on the cake today was Vardy 🙂 .. was waiting for him to get fit and start firing. was injured start of the season so had to drop him from my plans. straight back in he comes.. 4.9 is a bargain. Will do a write up on him later if anyone interested

    a) Cahill Ramsey Costa Rooney
    b) Naylor Ramsey Aguero Rooney (-4)
    c) Cahill DiMaria Aguero Welbeck (-12)
    d) Naylor DiMaria Aguero Costa (WC)

    *WC also fixes Begovic Ferdinand Albrighton -> Forster Chambers Boyd

    Have to make one of these, Lovren-> Bertrand/Fonte (doubling on Saints defence) or Coloccini->Duff/Shackell

    Other defence: Clyne, Naylor, Shawcross

      Sorry no option for Fonte or Shackell so here's the revised question:

      Have to make one of these, Lovren-> Bertrand(doubling on Saints defence) or Coloccini->Duff

      Other defenders: Clyne, Naylor, Shawcross

    Hazard - Marney - Ramsey - Sigurdsson - Sterling

    Costa - Adebayor - Rooney

    Adebayor --> Ulloa
    Marney --> Di Maria

    I just can't seem to get the right players for clean sheets this season. Usually only 0 or 1 point in first 11 while bench players with the cs+bps...

    Can anyone here top the record breaking 8 points from 7 players today?

  13. waltzingmatildas

    9 years, 7 months ago

    So, who is the utd player to have?

    ADM - looks pure class, always involved.
    Rooney - captain so should always play, still looked involved today, and got an assist
    Falcao - looks class but limited minutes...needs more time
    Herrera - punt but cheap and seems to be involved

    Baines (C) paid off. Finally something to cheer about.

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 13 Years

      nice one 🙂

  17. eish

    best 4.5-5 defender? (not duff)

  18. HNI
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Was Bertrand 5.1mn last week too or has fpl gone bananas over his 4.6 mn value?!

  19. HVT
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    So is Ramsey to Adm the cool transfer?

    1. mdm
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      no

  20. Rolls-Royce

    This GW was Epic!!

      it kind of was

  21. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Begovic - McCarthy
    Moreno - Shawcross - Clyne - Ivanovic - Chester
    Fabregas - Sterling - Siggy - Di Maria - Boyd
    Costa - Balotelli - Naismith

    0m ITB, 2 FT.

    Suggestions would be good. Pretty lost here!

    1. eish
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      balotelli,chester to pelle/welbeck and duff then you got better return and alot of money to play with in the future

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Problem is that I leave Naismith in the squad - who may not even be a starter anymore and looks like he may even drop value.

    2. dr. Phil
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      much more cash in defense then most of us have. Should start there if you want to upgrade naismith. Stoke double up silly if you ask me.

      Shawx to - Duff
      Naismith - Welbeck

      You'll have exactly 0,0 itb after it so probably have to do it soonish.

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I'd do that in a heartbeat. Problem is I bought Naismith for 5.2 - would only have 3.8m free if I do that.

        Option A: Ivanovic / Naimsmith - Welbeck / Moore (or Duff). Leaves 1.4m ITB.
        Option B: Take a -4 hit, upgrade Naismith and downgrade Moreno/Shawcross to Moore and maybe Chambers?

        Don't know what else I could do? Leaves me .8 ITB to upgrade Balotelli later as well.

    Costa or Fabregas rising tonight?

  23. Reed_Rothchild
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Don't knee jerk and get Baines if you have a Chelsea defender. Chelsea has a good home game next week while Everton have two touch games coming up.

      itb?

  26. Prime
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Krul / Elliot
    Taylor / Clyne / Chester / Ferdinand / Moore
    Albrighton / Sterling / Ramsey / Sigurdsson / Hazard
    Agüero / Rooney / Welbeck

    2 FT, £1.4m in the bank.

    Rooney to Costa tonight but not sure where the 2nd transfer is going.

    Ramsey to Di Maria is a bit scary ahead of Arsenal's clash with Spurs.

  27. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Have 2 FTs

    Do

    A) Rooney/Ramsey to Welbeck/Di Maria
    B) Rooney/Krul to Welbeck/Forster
    C) Krul to Mannone and save a FT

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      A is fine and agree to wait with B
