Boxing Day Dugout Discussion

With the game between Fulham and West Ham at 12pm, today’s Matchday Surgery has turned into an early Dugout Discussion. It’s essentially the same thing however, just follow this link to our chatroom for pre-deadline discussion.

I’ve no team news to bring you yet for the game at Craven Cottage, but unfortunately I do have a couple of postponements to notify you of…

  • Blackpool Vs. Liverpool – OFF

It was always going to be the most likely Premier League game to fall foul of the weather, and that has proved true. A frozen Bloomfield Road pitch is once again responsible for the postponement.

  • Everton Vs. Birmingham City – OFF

Having passed the “key test” live on Sky Sports News yesterday morning (yeah, I was watching Sky Sports News on Christmas morning), this cancellation comes as somewhat of a surprise. The reason for this game being off is “due to the adverse weather conditions in Liverpool overnight the stadium is not in a fit condition to stage a Premier League football match”, as given on the Everton website.

If any more games are called off before the Fantasy Premier League deadline, I’ll update this article and announce it in the chatroom.

    Im doing something i dont want to do, getting rid of Baines!!

    Baines - Shawcross so i can get Gerrard in next week, and Stoke have 2 home fixtures after this week. I also think they'll beat Blackburn this week.

      I'm afraid all you bench players will be playing. See tweets for games that have been called off make you transfer choice based on that news

    Is it worth a hit to remove Samba and bring in someone else? Otherwise if Samba does not start i will have to play with 10 players.

      As a general rule, I wouldn't take a hit for a defender.

    Alright lads, need a bit of advice here.

    Got two frees, currently thinking Torres > Tevez & Cahill > VDV.

    Howwever, that would leave me relying on Samba to play to field 3 at the back. Is it unwise to take the gamble and should I ship Samba for someone or should I sit tight and hope the big man plays? Cheers.
