Sunday Dugout Discussion

We open the Dugout Discussion for the final four fixtures of the gameweek, and the month, before we take our first International Break breather.

Newcastle versus Fulham kicks us off with the home side calling in Peter Lovenkrands for the now departed Joey Barton and Leon Best filling a Shola Ameobi sized void. The visitors meanwhile welcome Chris Baird and Matthew Briggs at the back with a host of changes made to their midfield and attack…

Newcastle XI: Krul, Simpson, Steven Taylor, Coloccini, Ryan Taylor, Lovenkrands, Cabaye, Tiote, Gutierrez, Obertan, Best

Fulham XI: Schwarzer, Briggs, Hughes, Hangeland, Baird, Dempsey, Murphy, Sidwell, Duff, Dembele, Kasami.

Half an hour later Spurs are left to pick themselves up from their defeat to Man United to welcome Man City for their first home game of the season.

Despite talk of an impending departure for Peter Crouch he lines up for ‘Arry with Luka Modric also in the mixer. Roberto Mancini rewards Micah Richards with a new contract and a place on the bench as he, Aleksander Kolarov and James Milner drop out for Pablo Zabaleta, Gael Clichy and new signing Samir Nasri…

Spurs XI: Friedel; Corluka, Dawson, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Kranjcar, Modric, Bale; Van der Vaart, Crouch.

Man City XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Barry, Yaya, Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko

The Dugout Discussion will be around for all four games as West Brom vs Stoke and, the big one, Man United vs Arsenal round out the day, week and month.

      Yeah go ahead and do both, because the outcome of one match clearly is indicative as to how the whole season will play out, isn't it? Suddenly Silva and Aguero are "useless", aren't they?

      ...or so you'd believe if you've been reading the past few pages.

        Wouldn't say useless at all but it's handy to do these swaps if you're on a WC and can take advantage of the price rises.

      He could have scored today too on any other day. Nasri though definitely looks the better fantasy prospect. More direct.

            Fact of the matter is all the talk regarding Mids was about Silva and Mata before today, and nothing about Nasri.

    For me it's Nasri over Silva. More of a goal threat and just as capable of providing assists. I think Silva is a better player, but Nasri for FPL.
