Dugout Discussion – West Brom vs Middlesbrough

Sunday’s events get underway at the Hawthorns as West Brom seek to end a barren run of results on home turf against a confident Middlesbrough side.

Tony Pulis’ men have earned just a single point from their last five matches in front of their own fans, having lost out 2-1 to Everton in Gameweek 2.

In contrast, the visitors arrive in the midlands having earned their first three points on their return to the top flight courtesy of a 2-1 win at Sunderland in the Wear-Tees derby.

Boro are forced to shuffle their back four in the absence of left-back George Friend through injury, but Daniel Ayala is fit to start and makes his first appearance of the season.

As for West Brom, they shift Jonny Evans to central defence with Jonas Olsson dropping to the bench. Brendan Galloway makes his first Baggies start in the league at left-back, while young Sam Field makes his debut in midfield in what looks to be a five-man setup. Saido Berahino and Craig Gardner make way.

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

        All depends on if Citeh score an early goal. I backed Aguero with the armband for GW1 and 2, but for some reason didn't fancy him this weekend. Maybe the mids will get the goals.

      That's how I felt with Hazard yesterday, he could have easily added a goal or two and he was popular captain in my money league. Aguero captain today for me, so it's their turn to watch from behind the couch today.

      Cazorla isn't exactly a bargain at 7.5m is he? How long is Ramsey out? Walcott probably the first to make way but he's actually been playing quite well.

      HELP:

      I'm going to use my wildcare this week and have found the team I want to use that fits into 100m

      If I use it now, can I still make free changes up until the next gameweek as there are international fixtures and players might get injured or play badly.

      Or will the first wildcard team I make have to remain?

            If you use the wildcard, you can make limitless number of changes to your team until the start of the next GW.

            If you sell for example Kun, that's 1 transfer.
            If you buy Kun back, that's 1 tranfer.

            Everything counts 🙂
