Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Saturday’s modest points returns pile expectations on to Sunday’s trio of encounters, as an assortment of prime Fantasy assets take to the turf.

It all begins with a pair of lunchtime kick-offs, as Spurs entertain Newcastle at the Lane and Burnley host Everton up at Turf Moor. Fantasy managers will be looking to the likes of Leighton Baines, Nacer Chadli and Christian Eriksen to provide some early cheer, before attentions turn to the main event at Old Trafford at 4pm.

United and Chelsea meet head-on in one of the season’s key clashes. It arrives in time to find Jose Mourinho’s Blues flying high on top of the table, while Louis van Gaal’s United struggle to break out of a state of flux.

The script points to a comfortable away win, with Fantasy managers eagerly awaiting the visitors’ team sheet and the potential “revelation” that Diego Costa defies the claims of his manager to spearhead the Chelsea attack. We’re in for a fascinating afternoon.

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

    As a neautral I would say Utd had the best of the refereeing decisions, didn't affect the game much though.

      Yes it did. Denied a penalty and got a player wrongfully sent off.

        Ivanovic was asking for a red pretty much the whole game. Bringing his inner Balkan spirit out

      Don't make transfers now. Wait till Friday.

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Don't know if I could afford that with Sanchez and Fab surely rising, prolly Berahino and DEFFO Costa falling.

        Would be .5-7 off I'd imagine

    How did Chadli look today?

      I was at game so may be blinkered by disappointment, but he was very quiet. We look better away from home at present. Eriksen no better really.

      And Dier had a shocker in the 2nd half....

    Help settle a bet. How would you have ranked the following for the XI/bench, before the start of this gameweek, without the hindsight of this weekend's action

    A) Baines
    B) Chambers
    C) Terry
    D) Ulloa

    S.Taylor nailed on now? or is williamson still injured? the fans seem to prefer him over Williamson

    1. Captain Shirokov

    Great comments last few pages

    Supposed fantasy experts thinking

    A)Ivan keeps his clean sheet
    ) Ivan misses QPR game

    No wonder fantasy football so easy, the competition not the brightest

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 10 Years

        3 match is only for straight reds no?

    2. Del Griffith
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      the ban is in the cup game mid week so Ivan misses no PL games

      Yes. I mainly use it to check shots and touches in the box though. I guess there are other ways to find that info but happy to support the site

      I find having the season ticker available all the time to check fixtures helps with transfer decisions.

      Stats are all there.

        and would yo guys say it has improved your game

  17. A Defender's Nightmare

    He could've easily had a goal+CS and ended up with double digit haul today. That was so cruel in the end. 🙁

    Did he deserve that card? Felt ADM went down very easily.

  18. Scoredelario

    I don't like refs getting a hard time. Dowd played well today IMO.

    The only decision that truly shocked me this week was speroni getting assaulted and the goal standing! The replay showed it was intentional too.

    28 -4 with Hutton to. Balls balls balls n more balls.

      About the same after my -8.

  20. Bolivian Seaman

    Do you think Fellaini will stay in the team?

  21. chilli_green
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Guys, would you wildcard with this lot? Just got a lot of little injuries and players I've wanted to shift, and now with Ivanovic suspension it feels it could be a good time before prices change.

    Current:
    Mannone/Krul
    Clyne/Ivanovic/O'Shea/Dier/Wasilewski
    Sterling/Wanyama/Fabregas/Sigurdsson/Ki
    Costa/Pelle/Aguero

    Possible WC:
    Mannone/Krul
    Clyne/Jagielka/Dumett/Bertrand/Wisdom
    Sterling/Sanchez/Fabregas/Walcoot/Colback
    Naismith/Pelle/Aguero

    0.1m left over at current prices, and I can get Costa back in two transfers as and when he's fit (Naismith -> Costa, downgrade a premium mid).
