Monday’s Dugout Discussion

18 October 2010 1627 comments

Akers

The eighth gameweek of the season is brought to a close tonight at Ewood Park, as Blackburn Rovers host Sunderland.

The visitors are bolstered by the availability of their star striker Darren Bent, and out-of-position fantasy favourite Ahmed Elmohamady also starts to the relief of many. Elsewhere, there is only one change from the side that held Manchester United before the international break, as Danny Welbeck comes in for Boudewijn Zenden after not being eligible against his parent club.

The home side make two changes from their previous league outing at the Britannia Stadium, with Martin Olsson and Nikola Kalinic replacing Ryan Nelson and Mame Biram Diouf.

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Givet, Olsson, Nzonzi, Jones, Emerton, Pedersen, El-Hadji Diouf, Kalinic
Sunderland XI: Mignolet, Onuoha, Turner, Bramble, Bardsley, Malbranque, Cattermole, Elmohamady, Henderson, Welbeck, Bent

The Dugout Discussion is open and available right here.

Evening Folks.

My lead in my mini league is down to 30 ish now and im unsure what to do with my team. I have 1.5 in the bank and 2 free transfers this week.

Foster, Krul

Hughes, Alex, L Young, Foley, Perch

A YOung, Malouda, Nani, Bale, B Ferguson

tevez, Drogba, Carroll

I was thinking about swapping Bale for VDV and then perhaps upgrading a defender!

I would appreciate any advice!!
