Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Man City

We have to face it – after the momentous points bonanza of Gameweek 8, this weekend may well be a bit of a comedown.

Six Saturday fixtures will have the task of setting us up for another round of three-figure hauls and, ironically, it all begins with last weekend’s leading man on show as Man City crash Upton Park to take on West Ham.

Sergio Aguero and City will surely face an uncomfortable ride in East London, with the resurgent Hammers giddy at the prospect of facing the champions whilst sitting in fourth place in the table. Fantasy managers will, nonetheless, be anticipating and expecting the Aguero show to rumble on through the home defence: the Argentine sports the armband for many and we’ll look for at least one goal from him amongst the huff and puff of today’s early kick-off.

Following that, we’ve just a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs, before Swansea host Leicester in a gentle-looking evening clash to see us out.

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

  11. Revival

    Deserved West Ham win, not their fault City missed all their chances

  12. Randy_Marsh
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Think those removing ADM more than Costa will feel the pain TBH

  13. RabMac
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Going to be a very painful GW for me if Costa not playing.

  14. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…

    4 is not the worst score I've had for a Captain.

    Unlucky to all you aguero captainers. Not every week lads.

  17. Chambo

    Pellegrini lost the game for City, poor tactics.
    Aguero (c) fail, good thing Silva brought me some points.

    I did try and tell ye... u just cudn't write the script this week

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Didn't see Kun start. Any chance for retrospective action? If that is the case I am tempted by the crazy card

    Learn to listen to myself. Should have captained Pelle. I had a feeling this would happen. West Ham solid at home and no mugs at all. Man City struggle to break teams down with no Plan B.

    I consult this site too often and let it influence me when I know I know more than most about football. I will learn.

  29. Godot - Fashanu Zealand

    Phew.. Almost transferred Costa out for Aguero with the intention of putting the armband on him. On another day he would have tucked away those chances.
