Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Newcastle’s narrow win over a faltering Liverpool takes us into a batch of six afternoon kick-offs, with a host of Fantasy talent on show.

They’ll be keen interest on the matches at the Emirates and Stamford Bridge as Alexis Sanchez and Diego Costa sport the armband for an army of Fantasy managers. Both start this afternoon, with major hauls anticipated against the obliging Burnley and QPR defences, respectively.

Elsewhere, there’s some rather surprising teamsheets on show.

Roberto Martinez elects to preserve Romelu Lukaku to the Goodison bench for Swansea’s visit with Ross Barkley recalled and Samuel Eto’o retaining his start after his Turf Moor brace. Leicester boss, Nigel Pearson, makes four changes with Fantasy favourites Leonardo Ulloa and Liam Moore dropped to the timber. Sadio Mane is fit but starts on the Southampton bench at Hull, while Diafra Sakho’s shoulder injury keeps him out of West Ham’s trip to Stoke.

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

    69p before bonus points, still left to play: ADM, Chadli and Aguero. I'm feeling happy about Siggy -> Sanchez transfer that I made for -4p last week. 🙂

    On ESPN Fantasy I got Chambers, Baines, Hazard (c), Moses and Sanchez.

    On FPL not so lucky. Sanchez + Valencia but No Chambers, No Hazard, No Moses.

    This game is cruel but still happy.
