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.

    So glad I WC'd.

    GiVorm

    Bosingwa - Brown - Woodgate - Simpson - N. Taylor

    Lampard - Nasri - Jarvis - Anderson - Dyer

    RVP - Suarez - Dzeko

    Can upgrade defence if I later downgrade Lamps when Chelsea's team is sorted. Anderson could go for Brunt or Barton, but offers a bit of United coverage so long as RVP is in ahead of Rooney.

      The price shown on your transfers page is a player's selling price. This selling price may be less than the player's current purchase price as a sell-on fee of 50% (rounded up to the nearest £0.1m) will be applied on any profits made on that player.

      For example, if you buy a player for £8.3m and when you transfer him his price is £9.0m, his selling price will be £8.6m.

        In fairness, Traore and Coquelin are the only real joke players in there. The rest do have the ability to have a good game, it's just very unlikely they'll all pull it out at the same time.

        Ramsey & Djourou are bang out, Walcott is normally suffocated by Evra, Arshavin will probably do his usual bullshit, Jenkinson is very inexperienced, RvP is isolated, and Rosicky has no legs.
