Sunday’s Dugout Discussion

After a reasonably low-scoring Saturday (for me at least), we have three remaining Sunday afternoon fixtures to increase our tallies. And with the four most selected captains in action today, according to our poll, we have every chance.

The first of two televised games sees Roberto’s Mancini’s Manchester City play host to Newcastle United. The headline team news for the 1:30pm game is that Newcastle leave striker, and fantasy favourite, Andy Carroll on the bench for the first time this season. For Man City, Jerome Boateng starts his first league game and Adam Johnson is once again on the bench, despite scoring mid-week…

Man City: Hart, Boateng, Toure, Kompany, Lescott, De Jong, Barry, Silva, Toure Yaya, Milner, Tevez

Newcastle: Krul, Perch, Williamson, Coloccini, Jose Enrique, Ben Arfa, Nolan, Tiote, Barton, Gutierrez, Ameobi

Then, on the other channel, Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea at 4pm, where both clubs are looking to bounce back from defeats last week. Elsewhere, and not on the box, 18th-placed Liverpool take on 16th-placed Blackpool at 3pm.

As always, the Dugout Discussion will be with you throughout the day. Enjoy.

    It's so so sickening to see Alex's 14 points. Worst transfer I've made in a long, long time, and it's cost me 11 points and the lead in the minileague.

    Oh whale.

      Same here, I replaced him with Alcaraz who got 6 points so I was happy with that until Alex scored that screamer.

      Can't have any regrets though, that's the way it goes sometimes. I at least have funds and 2 free transfers to get shot of Bale and Chamakh!

            Such a letdown of a Sunday, but oh well. Turns out I did captain Torres in Metro too (and have never owned Drogba), so that's going to hurt.

              Long way to go Andy, we all have bad days at the office. Dust yourself down and look forward to the next GW debacle. I think I may just have extended my lead in Ironman by a few more points, looking forward to the update.

                Oh aye, I'm good for it... it could have been so much worse - silver linings. We all have bad days and weeks, I did okay.

                I think your Ironman lead will definitely be stretching, or at least nicely maintained. You are the man to beat right now, for us all, of that there is no doubt.

                  I only joked with Anorak on here the other day that I was gunning for a clean sweep of Metro,IKTS & FPL and it looks as though that has come off miraculously. You look like one of my main competitors though as you slowly sneak up the rankings so I'm watching your scores very carefully.
                  At least you had VDV this week so all was not lost. Now Torres out in Metro,decisions decisions. Obinha with his stats looks worth a punt, no one really stands out at the mo.
