Saturday Dugout Discussion

Gameweek 34 kicks-off with a trip to Old Trafford between Premier League leaders Manchester United and Everton. Then we have six 3pm games to pour over, followed by an evening game where West Ham visit the Champions. The Surgery has shut for the week, but the Dugout Discussion chatroom takes it place. So come in, sit down, and enjoy the roller-coaster ride that is Fantasy Football.

The team news from our early game is in and it’s certainly eyebrow-raising stuff…

Man United XI: Van Der Saar, O’Shea, Ferdinand, Evans, Fabio, Valencia, Gibson, Anderson, Nani, Rooney, Hernandez

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Neville, Rodwell, Bilyaletdinov, Osman, Beckford

Sir Alex pulls out another totally unpredictable line-up, which sees rests handed to key defenders Patrice Evra and club captain Nemanja Vidic. Dimitar Berbatov again fails to even make the substitutes bench, with a groin injury the reason.

The visitors line-up is much more like what we all expected, with Jermain Beckford up top on his own in front of a midfield five. That midfield five does not include either Tim Cahill or Mikel Arteta, with the latter not fit enough to make the bench.

      I would have bought Benzema rather than Carroll. Faster and more mobile or even kept Torres but lets back Carroll as he wears the shirt...

      A few quality buys and they should be top 4 next year.

                If Liverpool sign anyone from Blackpool it should be Phillips (I said this in the transfer window too). Pacy, tricky, very direct. With the right coaching he could become a good player.

        Probably been answered somewhere but what happened to the Dempsey assist that the BBC had up for Johnson's goal? A blunder on their part?

        27 points, Suarez and Zamora getting me points for assists. Still got RVP, Lampard (C) and Luiz to play this weekend. Hopefully fat Frank and Luiz can bang in a few goals.

        If Chelsea manage a clean sheet and Lampard scores I will never say another bad word against them.
