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.

    What do u guys think about Sanchez and Sakho (if no injury) for Sterling and Welbeck with 2 FT?

    1. chrisjdgrady
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I think very highly of it. Both on fire. Big fan of Sakho right now

    Berahino (7p) in from the bench for Costa and still have Costa (C) at home to qpr! Worked out fine! 64p with Hazard, Green/Krul and Cahill to go!

  7. Arsenal Deli
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Just popped a fiver on Drogba to score 1st, a fiver on him to score last, and a fiver for anytime....
    Hopefully it is written in the stars

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      5mins: Didier Drogba substituted with a suspected groin problem

      1. AlCapwnUK
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Cech to play up front

      2. Arsenal Deli
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        That would top off a horrible gameweek.

    2. Jay_
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Hopefully for you it's 1-0 ft ,Drogba goal

        1. Arsenal Deli
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          That would be nice considering my overdraft made that bet

    8. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      As an Arsenal fan - lol Spurs. As a Chadli owner - lol me, what a fool.

      Krul YC LOOOL

    10. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      So from those who watched the Spurs game...Ride out the Siggy injury or switch to Chadli and lose value and any easy chance of getting him back?

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

        No idea. Spurs are either hot or cold. Chadli could easily get a haul next week 😕

      2. Podge
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Dont get Chadli

        1. 1314
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          poor ?

        2. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I have both Soggy and Chadli but need to ditch one soon to get Costa back when fit...

      3. HVT

        Gotta be Mane if anyone now

        Chadlii been poor. Can see one of Lamela of chadli being dropped next week. Hope it's not chadli!

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Mmm..that bad?...I've never like him really...

    11. Zombie

      Duff...must....score

    12. Captain Shirokov
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Risky from Mourinho to start Fabregas in the double pivot instead of pushing him further forward and going with two CDMs.

      1. Long Juan Silva
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Nahhhhhh, it's only United 😎

    13. Felix_Da_House_Cat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Bright side is that Costa will drop at least 0.2m making it easier to get him back

      How did Chadli do? Frustrated owner.

      Could be out for Downing.

      Eriksen, Lamela and chadlii all been rubbish today. Lamela easily the worst.

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        That's Lamela in the BPL for you hasn't played a decent game yet.

      Woy Hodgson is such an idiot because he has one of the best LB's in the world at his disposal and he doesn't let him do his natural game which is to attack.

      1. chrisjdgrady
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        One of the best attacking LBs *

      I feel sorry for Burnley, they just have no money to compete with the rest. Dyche is a great manager as well
