Saturday Dugout Discussion

Gameweek nine kicks off with Everton journeying down to London to face off against Spurs in our early kick off, and there’s a few changes afoot.

Harry Redknapp has drafted Rafael Van Der Vaart back into his team after sitting out the thrilling 4-3 defeat at Inter Milan a couple of days ago through suspension, Bale has a little petrol left to continue at left midfield while Kaboul and Palacios also drop into the starting eleven.

David Moyes sees Mikel Arteta assumedly fail his late fitness test to join Leon Osman in being replaced by Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and, returning from injury himself, Steven Pienaar. The teams in full are…

Spurs XI: Gomes; Hutton, Kaboul, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Palacios, Modric, Bale; Van Der Vaart; Crouch.

Everton XI: Howard; Neville, Distin, Jagielka, Baines; Coleman, Heitinga, Pienaar, Bilyaletdinov; Cahill; Yakubu

We’ll then take in the 3pm kick-offs with the armband heavy Chelsea hosting Wolves drawing the most fantasy attention around other fixtures like West Brom versus Fulham and Sunderland versus Aston Villa, to name a couple. Rounding out our Saturday will be West Ham versus Newcastle in the late kick-off, Andy Carroll probably had to rent a car to make it down today.

The Chatroom will be open as usual throughout the day for those of you looking for interactive conversation fix.

    Bad news if you do have him. Albrighton now comes off my bench.

    P.S. Genius move from Man United commercially. Now all those fans who burnt their Rooney shirts will have to buy new ones...

    I think this 433 formation will suit Bale even more than 442.

    Hoping to see some goals/assists seeing as i kept the faith for so long, I'm taking him out for Fabregas next week so the time is right!

    a spurs win for me. bale vdv crouch and modric will rip it up big i think. they will probably negate any attacking value of coleman, cant see him getting forward much today and without arteta they will find it difficult imo.

      bit like last week with the "tevez being rested" stuff - despite what harry siad it was always unlikely given there is a week between this and their next game.

    The guy 2nd in my mini-league (im first) took a 12 point hit this week for some reason to bring in Tevez. He must have screwed up because Tevez is now on his bench as first sub!

    Come on appearances from his whole midfield, mainly Albrighton and Johnson!
