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.

    Brunt, Moses, NZog, Tim Cahill (O'Hara)
    Suarez (C), Torres, Rooney (C)

    I'm thinking I'll keep this for next GW, but contemplating Torres>Bent. Give him one more shot, I suppose.

    not sure if this has been commented on yet but the most frustrating of the changes to the premier league fantasy site is surely that it doesn't tell you what the average points score is anymore

      hindsight is a great thing. i captained bent and whilst i have torres and rooney, the former wouldve just edged it, based on the fact that if he did do well, you would've been in trouble as the majority of teams captained him

        Its madness. People done with Chelsea but loving City attackers - compare it to this time last year eh?

        I picked these players because i thought they were good options for the upcoming few games. One underwhelming gameweek changes nothing. Prudence pays - you can guarantee there will be people here bemoaning the fact that they took out players who have scored well.

            The scout picks did have an influence, but I was also going by last week, as well as picking players who have a decent run of games. I'm rethinking Baines though.

    Sorry to be slow on the uptake, but what exactly is the relation between the ICT stats which can be found in the Members area, and the EA stats which govern the bonus points.

    To what extent can our ICT stats be used to predict who is likely to get the bonus?

    As good as it is to see a player of Aguerro's quality, its a shame that it's reduced Adam Johnson's chances further. I like Johnson - a good player and would make good fantasy value at a club that played him every week.
