Monday Dugout Discussion

Put up your feet, pour yourself another glass of mulled wine and grab that tin of Quality Street. After all it is christmas, and after all we’ve got another match to take in as we round out gameweek nineteen just as soon as it starts.

The Dugout Discussion closes it’s door for no-one and a festive game between Arsenal and Chelsea are no exception. Just nineteen weeks down and Arsene Wenger finally gets to start his two key players – Cesc Fabregas & Robin Van Persie – together for the first time this season, while the likes of Walcott finally get a start after weeks waiting patiently on the bench. Managerial heavyweight Carlo Ancelotti meanwhile gets to start Frank Lampard for the first time since August also. Team sheets in full are…

Arsenal: Fabianski; Sagna, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy; Song, Fabregas, Wilshere; Walcott, van Persie, Nasri

Chelsea: Cech; Ferreira, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole; Essien, Mikel, Lampard; Kalou, Drogba, Malouda

Come join the festive banter as we all gorge on treats ahoy together and close out the gameweek in the Dugout Discussion.

    Hey guys, who should I transfer in for GW20? My team is as follows:

    Foster, Al Habsi
    Vidic, Baines, Onuoha, Kyrgiakos, Foley
    Nani, Nasri, Van der Vaart, Brunt, Dempsey
    Tevez, Elmander, Carroll

    I was thinking of getting in Berbatov to replace Elmander (I have money in the bank), but am not sure if I should get a midfielder instead - Brunt is suspended and I just don't trust Dempsey... Thoughts?

    What a great week, shame I only have 9 players in my team or it could have been even better - could have easily changed my 'keeper at least if I came online earlier.

      Brunt --> Barton
      Get rid of either Cashley or Vidic for a cheaper option (Vidic --> Rafael?) and MGP --> Fabregas??

      Maybe Cashley to Kolarov so you can downgrade Joe Hart?
