Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Tuesday

Fantasy managers have just one match to entertain us this evening as United play their final home game of what has been a tumultuous first campaign of the post-Ferguson era. Ryan Giggs’ brief tenure as interim-manager of the Red Devils has already served up an impressive hammering of Norwich before Sunderland quickly burst the bubble of optimism last weekend:

Giggs makes as many as eight alterations from the side that lost to the Black Cats, with the Welshman joinging the likes of Nemanja Vidic, Juan Mata and Robin Van Persie on the bench. Once again, the hosts are without Wayne Rooney, who has failed to recover from the illness and/or groin problem that saw him miss the Black Cats clash.

Steve Bruce makes five changes for visitors Hull – with their top-flight survival now secured, the Tigers manager’s teamsheet clearly has one eye on the upcoming FA Cup Final clash against Arsenal.

Our Twitter feed carries all the news from tonight’s team sheets, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open to collect your real-time reactions to this evening’s events.

    When does this Vidic/Giggs testimonial end? Could do with it stopping now to bank my Davies 1 point ! At least I had Mata for his 13 point haul the week prior so average of 7.5 over the 2 GW's.

    Everyone having a go at Giggs for playing himself in a game that doesn't mean a huge amount. He knows he's not going to be the manager next season and in fact this could be his last game at OT as a Man utd player. I think I would play myself too.

    Lads I would appreciate any advice.

    I have been leading my league for pretty much all the season but at the weekend I fell into 2nd place by 6 points.

    Tomorrow the first place lad has the following players:

    Mannone-Zab-Yaya-Dzeko.

    I have:

    Zab-Yaya- Amafaltino- Aguero 🙁

    My best case scenario is going into the weekend matches 20 points behind.

    I am looking to replace Rooney and Aguero for the weekend.

    Any advice on who to replace them with?

    I'm thinking of bringing in Daniel S and Giroud. Will it be enough?

    Thank you in advance.
