Tuesday Dugout Discussion

The last midweek Dugout Discussion of the season sees a repeat of the enthralling FA Cup Final between Manchester City and Stoke City. There’s no silverware at stake tonight, but for Man City there is the genuine incentive of leap-frogging Arsenal into third, with automatic Champions League qualification the reward for sitting there come Sunday evening.

Although not a televised game, the Dugout Discussion is open for business and serves to house your reactions as the news comes in. The first news in are those all-important line-ups…

Man City XI: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Zabaleta, Milner, De Jong, Silva, Yaya Toure, Adam Johnson, Tevez.

Stoke XI: Sorensen, Wilkinson, Collins, Shawcross, Wilson, Pugh, Diao, Whelan, Whitehead, Walters, Carew.

Roberto Mancini names David Silva and Carlos Tevez amongst his first eleven, with the former playing despite being tagged a major injury doubt. Aleksander Kolarov misses out again, to the annoyance of those still unfortunate to own him.

Stoke also make a host of changes, with popular fantasy players Asmir Begovic, Robert Huth and Matthew Etherington all sidelined for one reason or another. Elsewhere, John Carew earns a rare start at the expence of Kenwyn Jones.

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

          Annoying as f*ck though how rivals get loads of luck though, like Cahill auto captain, Chamakh auto captain when he scored 13 points and Huth off the bench, yet I get zero.

    Had a mammoth score this week to put me in the lead in my mini league by approx 30pts. Deliberating over next weeks choices with all the rotation going on.

    Foster (Robinson)
    Luiz* Hangeland Djourou* (Walker) (Coleman*)
    Lamps Nani* VdV Zog (Jarvis*)
    RVP Rooney* Hernandez*

    * indicates they are not likely to play 90mins

    Ive narrowed it down to a few options.
    A) Rooney –> Berbasloth
    B) Rooney –> Berbasloth, Hernandez –> Suarez
    C) Rooney –> Berbasloth, Nani –> Kuyt
    D) Rooney --> Berb, RVP --> Tevez

    What do u think? B,C,D all involve a 4 point hit. Cant help thinking that losing RVP is not worth it to gain Tevez.

    Any better options?

    Regarding the Fantasy Goalkeeper of the year votes. I voted for Foster, and i noticed that some 600 others had already done so before me. For me Foster has been outstanding this season, defo best budget keeper, but Hart and Cech have higher pt totals so I expected them to come 1, 2 and 3 in the poll, but the 500 vote difference between Foster and Hart was quite surprising, and only 5 votes for Cech, 2nd highest scoring keeper in the game, strange dat. Omission of Howard and Jaaskelainen from the poll totally was quite surprising too
