With the world’s eyes on the Leicester City “masterclass” in Wales this afternoon our Fantasy Managers have just one fixture to take in this Sunday evening as the gameweek catches up on one half of the remaining fixtures.

The Dugout Discussion opens up for QPR to play host to Alex McCleish and his Villans. Both sides make just one change, the home side bring in Fitz Hall and the visitors bring in Steven Ireland for the injured Danny Gabbidon and Darren Bent respectively. Line-ups in full are…

QPR XI: Kenny; Young, Ferdinand, Hall, Traore; Derry, Faurlin; Taarabt; Barton, Wright-Phillips; Bothroyd

Villa XI: Given; Hutton, Collins, Dunne, Warnock; Petrov, Delph, Ireland, N’Zogbia, Bannan; Agbonlahor

With Fantasy Managers keeping close eyes on the last remnants of their outfits -somehow I’ll be rooting for up to seven figures across games myself- we’ll be with you through all of the action to holler and whoop as appropriate in the Dugout Discussion.

    2)Simpson for Shawcross.
    3)Young for Nani (Is this just swapping like for like?)
    4)Roonpig > Aguero or Suarez(Or should I keep hold of the hairy mug?)

    Villa are really pants. They're going to need to keep a lot of clean sheets to stay up this year because they won't score many.

        Can't see that happening any time soon, would have to be a big statement to sack him before Christmas after the controversy of bringing him in. I'd say you've got him til at least Jan/Feb.

        Still can't quite see why you got him in, he'd just taken down a team you were only slightly better than last season, and the board must have known you were going to lose your most potent creators. Houllier probably doesn't look so bad now.

      The entire front 6 of villa are pushing SWP close, but hes been QPRs worst player for sure. Tarrabt has been lively.

    It baffles me how Taarabt still hasn't a goal to his name this season

      Silva is looking "essential"; I'd hate to be without him. Drop one of Young or Nani (though good luck choosing the right one!)

    Mcleish should play Nzog, Agbon and Albrighton uptop. They lack cutting edge. Why does he leave a lively player like Albrighton on the bench?
