Sunday Dugout Discussion

There’s only one televised Premier League fixture today, but with blockbuster games kicking off earlier at Carrow Road and Molineux, we’ve opened the Dugout Discussion chatroom so you can pour over all of today’s action.

We’re at Carrow road first, where Norwich City shortly begin their home campaign. They come up against a Stoke City side perhaps a little worse for wear after their midweek Europa League venture. Half an hour later, Fulham (another team having to cope with extra European commitments) travel up to face Mick McCarthy’s Wolves.

After that, it’ll be time to tune in to watch Gary and Jamie set-up a potential cracker between Bolton and Man City, with both sides looking to top the table.

So join us in the Dugout Discussion, which will stay open throughout the day to soak up your views on the action.

    Anyone who could give me their oppinion on Sessegnon and Moses so far? Have they played well? I watched the liverpool game and Sess did look good, however no extra points from them so far. Keep for longer or look at Jarvis/Hoolahan?

    Thx

      Sessegnon is looking sharp and playing OOP as a second striker. He's lively and getting plenty of shots on goal. Is sure to score a few goals in coming games, so is a good-value option. I'd keep Sessegnon, though Moses might be injured so might not play next week. Also, he wasn't looking quite so sharp. So Moses to Jarvis seems the best option.

        Yes, keep Sess, but I am wondering about too much rotation with Hoola and Surman and Fox and two others. That has to settle or they aren't for anyone's team here. Moses will start regularly, if healthy and that should have been a minor knock.

      I'd keep sess he will score soon, but looking for a replacement like jarvis is kind of chasing points gone by

      his record is 1 in 27 games. He has looked dreadful and does not look like scoring at all.

      Sure it's norwich but as I keep saying they are a promoted side and they have a point to prove.

      Chelsea are so lethargic and slow at this minute that Norwich will hassle them off the ball and cause them problems.

    How much is Torres likely to fall in value? Reading the comments it seems like a drop is certain but is it likely to be more than 0.1? Am keeping him for Norwich. It was always the more appealing of the 2 fixtures I brought him in for. Captained Lamps this week and am very tempted to captain Torres next week just for the incredible amount of smug satisfaction I'll get if it pays off.

      Players can only drop 0.1m per day but can drop by this amount for any number of consecutive days depending on how many people transfer them out each day.
