Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

The day’s programme continues with six three o’clock kick-offs, before the tea-time north London derby concludes the action on offer. For once, there’s a big cast of heavy-hitters on show on Saturday afternoon, with United, City and Chelsea all in action.

Diego Costa and his fragile hamstring starts for the league leaders against Villa at the Bridge, sporting the armband for thousands of Fantasy managers. Meanwhile, down at Old Trafford, Louis van Gaal’s attacking riches get to run at the West Ham rearguard in the hope they can score one more than their opponents. We’ll continue our scouting of Angel Di Maria and Radamel Falcao, then, whilst assessing the Hammers’ ability to expose an injury-ravaged United defence. City’s trip to Hull is perhaps a lesser attraction, although Sergio Aguero’s form has to be monitored carefully as Manuel Pellegrini’s charges begin to warm up ahead of some improved fixtures.

Elsewhere, Ronald Koeman’s Southampton revolution looks to maintain momentum with a St Mary’s meeting against struggling QPR; Fantasy managers will be focused on the returns form Graziano Pelle and Dusan Tadic in that one. Meanwhile, Leonardo Ulloa will look to boost his stunning 5-goal start to the campaign as Leicester make the trip to Palace and Garry Monk’s stylish Swansea side clash with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

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

      They obviously want a bit more pace to exploit the space Arsenal must now leave going forward. Good sub.

      Any opinions on Mané over Tadic (for ramsey)? 0.6 cheaper, assisted today, game report reads well. Will he start games going forward?

            I was then proceeded to change it around 100 times right up until 3.30am this morning. Actually happy with how it turned out, even though had a pretty average week.

      Will Rooney get a three game ban? Sorry if it's already been asked a thousand times.

      Ramsey and Rooney to Quinn and Kun

    • Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I have right enough money to do Hazard,Ramsey and Mahrez to Fabregas,Di Maria and Boyd for -4. Should I do it? Bad fixtures on the radar for United. Is Silva better option then?

    • jaco
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Dzeko and any mid

      Or

      Aguero and 8.3 mid?

      I have enough money to afford any combination.

      Current mid is : ram, sig, fab, sterl
      Current strikers: Costa, Naismith and roo.

      Who should I swap out for roo and ram?

    • A Defender's Nightmare

      Downing still a good pick? Heard he was poor today.
