Sunday Dugout Discussion

United. Chelsea. City. Arsenal. Spurs. Liverpool. Everton.

Last season’s top seven have all already played and soaked up most of the action for Fantasy Managers. However we’ve still got games and we’ve still got Fantasy points on the line this afternoon. We start off by opening the Dugout Discussion for Norwich vs. West Brom…

The visiting side are able to partner up Shane Long and Peter Odemwingie for the first time while captain Chris Brunt and James Morrison drop to the bench with Graham Dorrans and Jerome Thomas coming in. The home side meanwhile continue with the regular bouts of rotation as the likes of Andrew Surman and Elliott Bennett return and Wes Hoolahan has to make do with a place on the bench. Teams in full are…

Norwich XI: Rudd, Naughton, Barnett, De Laet, Tierney, Bennett, Crofts, Bradley Johnson, Surman, Holt, Chris Martin

West Brom XI: Foster; Reid, Tamas, Olsson, Shorey; Dorrans, Scharner, Mulumbu, Thomas; Long, Odemwingie.

Sunday Premier League football will then close out with Fulham playing host to Blackburn as both sides look to fight their way out of the early relegation spots.

The Dugout Discussion will be here for both of these fixtures.

    Dear Mr Darren Bent,
    Not to put to much pressure on you but :
    1 Your price is likely to drop next week
    2 I am considering making you captain
    3 The reason I am making you captain (maybe) is because there are very little alternatives

    Have a good game otherwise your out the fantasy window

    Thank you

    Trying to choose between Berra and Brown.

    Berra has decent fixtures and Wolves look tight at home, but is he nailed on?

    Brown is nailed on, and fixtures are not too bad but Sunderland are playing awful and I don't know if their defence is watertight.

    Any thoughts, thanks.

          Not brilliant, our goals were lucky though, we dominated really and should hve got a couple more. Brown's a good defender, and O'Shea is too. Better pick than Berra imo.

          Chelsea is a much bigger priority than Benfica.

    No Sneijder for Inter tonight, on the bench. 😯

    Nagatomo playing on the left of midfield in their 3-4-3. One to look out for in the CL fantasy game as he's very cheap, obviously as a defender.

      On the bench? Urgh what an awful waste all round.

      He's obviously being rested then, no?

        Rested for a home game against Trabzonspor? I think not. Inter are away at Palermo tonight, hardly a game to be 'resting' players in.

          The Inter coach doesn't like him.

            He doesn't naturally fit into Gasperini's 3-4-3.

      Not seen him play for Inter. Might have a look. I'm going Messi and Ronaldo so need a few cheapos.
