Sunday Dugout Discussion

With presumably the vast majority of your fantasy squad in action yesterday (or to play tomorrow), today the somewhat unfashionable teams are in action looking to impress.

First up is Blackburn Rovers Vs. Aston Villa at Ewood Park…

The home side make one significant change from their expected line-up, as super-sub Jason Roberts finally gets the nod ahead of Nikola Kalinic.

For Villa, Stephen Ireland makes a return to the side, at the expense of the impressive Mark Albrighton. Blast-from-the-past Robert Pires makes the bench.

Here are the line-ups in full…

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Nelsen, Givet, Dunn, Jones, Pedersen, Hoilett, Roberts, El-Hadji Diouf

Aston Villa XI: Friedel, Luke Young, Dunne, Clark, Warnock, Downing, Ireland, Hogg, Bannan, Ashley Young, Agbonlahor

Then it’s off to Craven Cottage, as Fulham host under-pressure Roberto Mancini’s Manchester City, in the 4pm kick-off.

Finally, if like me you no players involved today, there’s the wait to see how many places in the overall rankings you’ll slide as a result.

As always, all this action can be followed with a visit to our Dugout Discussion, which will remain open throughout the day.

          Unfortunately I can hardly lay claim to starting this whole Kolarov bandwagon.... Dbronaldo has been bigging him up ever since the season began.

          Bloody delighted that I have him though. Slightly annoying that the masses will all have him within a couple of weeks... If he'd scored that one on one I'd be in dreamland right now...

          Cahill from a Coleman cross last week, and now this.. I have no luck.

    It was IMMENSE when yaya Toure scored. Spanish commentary is so brilliant. Not only did he keep saying his name for yonks he at one point began singing his name and some other words I couldn't quite make out.

      Tough one, Drogba looked good yesterday, Foster was just having one of those days! As much as its going to pain me not to have Elmander or Davies next week im going to stick with Tevez, Drogba and Carroll.

    I pity Dickson Etuhu. He's basically on his own against Barry, De Jong and Touré... Danny Murphy's mobility is even worse than Huddlestone's.
