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.

      I don't and I'm a Rovers fan who has had at least one since the start of the season. Poor fixtures, unpredictable offensive and defensive returns.

      It also means I can watch the game tonight and just cheer the boys on since I don't have any Baggies players either!

    Just seen that some of the next lot of champions league & Europa games fall right in the middle of the upcoming double game week. Anyone else thinking some of the big name players (ie: VDV, V Persie, Tevez) could be rested from the Premier League games on the Saturday before making their inclusion in peoples fantasy teams for the dgw less attractive?

      They'll definitely be some rotation, yes. Some of it will affect our teams, but what can you do? You can't not have someone like RVP just because he might miss one of the DGW matches.

      Nice team.

      Not much you can do to improve that team. Bramble perhaps could be downgraded to a 3.9/4.0 defender since you'll almost always be benching at least two defenders.

      Those extra funds could be used on Ferguson.

        I think it's wiser to have Rooney to be honest.

        It means that he can downgrade either Rooney or Torres for Tevez depending on form and stuff. You can't do it the other way around.

          Yeah that was what I was thinking, sell Torres for Tevez. Just worried in case Djourou does not last long in team then will have to draft in another shi* defender, although could look at a cheap Villa player (Walker?)

        Hmmm, not sure about WC this week. Only advantage could be getting in players you know will start as line ups will be out on a Tuesday before kick off. But sure to be lots of rotation after the FACup games, so could leave you with an odd team. I'd do it 26 or 27 if I were you.
