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.

    that was not selfish. the ball was going in yes but slowly and across the goal line. you simply have to make sure in that moment VDV can't be sure how close the defender is to him.

        As long as he doesn't go up by over 0.5, I should be able to get him in for Joey Barton for those weeks if my plan pays off (basically Alex to Coleman / Elmo). Fingers crossed.

                I just think maybe Malouda and DRogba is too Chelsea (I know I know Chelsea are great) but theres always the possibility of Malouda being rested. Even more so when lampard is back

                  You could be right there, i was thinking about doing Malouda to VDV a couple a of weeks back and bring A.Cole in but VDV has gone up too much in price to do it now.
