Sunday Dugout Discussion

If yesterday served up an almighty feast of Premier League football and fantasy points, then today we’ll have to be content with the left-over scraps. Just one game on offer this Sunday, as Blackburn Rovers host West Bromwich Albion.

With neither team a ‘double gameweeker’, it’s hard to imagine many fantasy managers have much interest in this game. But maybe you are one of the three people that voted for Peter Odemwingie in this weeks Captain’s Poll and have a lot riding on this game. The Dugout Discussion is therefore open for business as per usual, but don’t expect much company.

Nevertheless, the team news from Ewood Park is in, and here are the line-ups…

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Givet, Olsson, Dunn, Jermaine Jones, Pedersen, Hoilett, Kalinic, Santa Cruz

West Brom XI: Myhill, Jara, Tamas, Olsson, Cech, Brunt, Mulumbu, Thomas, Scharner, Morrison, Odemwingie

Roque Santa Cruz is handed his first league in his second spell for Rovers. Also getting a start for the home side is the new German-American footballer Jermaine Jones. No Dorrans for West Brom.

Akers Richard or Akers, as he is known, has been regularly haunting this site since July 2008. He is young and foolish, take what he says with a pinch of salt. Follow them on Twitter

    Unless West Brom score a load of goals then VDV and Tevez will be my lowest scoring players this week on 2. That probably hasn't happened much this season.

    What a comfortable clean sheet this is for Blackburn. Disappointing as my main rivals both have Blackburn defenders.

    A vague attacking threat from West Brom would be nice in the second half but I won't hold my breath.

              I'll go for Robbo, Dunn and Thomas for bps.

    Onlyplayer that is worth having from the shower that is WBA is Jerome Thomas, imo. 😕

        Look at him over the season, though. Might be worth a gamble GW 27 - I think your manager is a bit of a problem, I'm afraid - sorry! ğŸ™

          He is, why he keeps playing Cech instead of Shorey is f*ckin ridiculous.

      He's like Walcott without Theo's 1 in 9 successful cross rate. He really has no end product at all.

            I'd say 8 Premier League goals by January for just £2.5m is a great deal.

                My bad, thought we was talking about Odemwingie.
