Saturday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 5

We start Gameweek 5 at the Liberty Stadium, as Michael Laudrup’s Swansea host Everton. The Dugout Discussion is open, so come in and follow all the day’s action amongst fellow fantasy football managers. The team news is in and there’s one or two surprises…

Swansea XI: Vorm, Rangel, Tate, Williams, Davies, Ki, de Guzman, Michu, Hernandez, Routledge, Graham.
Everton XI: Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Jagielka, Baines, Osman, Pienaar, Coleman, Fellaini, Mirallas, Anichebe.

Following their defeat at Aston Villa last time out, Nathan Dyer and Leon Britton drop to the bench with Ki Sung Yueng and Pablo Hernandez coming in.

Having scored on Monday night against Newcastle, Victor Anichebe earns a starting berth, replacing the injured Nikica Jelavic.

There’s another five Premier League fixtures to enjoy after Swansea and Everton do battle – so plenty of fantasy points on offer all round. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is the place to see them roll in, which can be accessed right here.

  Agree with getting rid of Hazard but not for Oscar, still not totally established in the 1st 11 for me.

Quick question, would you guys say Federici -> Begovic is a good transfer choice for me for the next GW or would you say I have more pressing transfers??

Team...

Foster - Federici
Cole - Baines - Demel - Cuellar - Hughes
Bale - Nolan - Pienaar - Michu - Guthrie
RVP - Tevez - Podolski

Cheers for any replies!!

REPOST:

A) Friedel -> Foster, Ivanovic -> Baines for -4

B) Michu -> Fellaini, Ivanovic -> Baines for -4? (This leaves me with 0 in the bank so will have to be done tonight. Also means tripling up on Everton.)

Thoughts? Team linked.

If you're on a WC does it matter that you get the .3m rise, is .2m sufficient because you get that .1m to sell them on to players you actually want?

    So why are people so eager to get .3 rises if they are going to sell them on anyway? Or is this just because they'd prefer if it was .3 and then they might consider keeping to get another rise after the deadline?

    Is the .3m technically irrelevant within that week if you're going to sell them on? It only serves to increase your team value if you keep them right? Or at least give you an opportunity for a .4m rise soon if you keep them?
