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.

    Anyone saying "looks like nani to x was a good move" is a complete chump. People only took him out because they thought he wouldn't start, so please don't insult our intelligence by pretending you weren't petrified when you saw his name in the XI today.

        If you took him out due to fixtures then why take him out before Everton at OT?

        Makes no sense whatsoever.

            Yes, but my point is that most people would view Everton at OT as a good fixture for nani if he had started (we beat them 3-0 there last season).

            You clearly agree but just want to stir..... 😉

      You're spot on the money Tommy. That's what strategy game players call a 'result based analysis'. Having Nani today was the correct play.

            Man U scored no goals against City or Newcastle. It's the edgy time of year to scrape 1-0 wins. Plus lots of fit attackers now. Plus club focus on CL.

              Came close to scoring AGAIN today. I believe I'm correct, or to put it another way, my analyses have been fine all season long. Won't be changing that. Appreciate debate of the point though.
