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.

          Would have been an incredible goal too. Ghosted past one of Villa midfielders with some excellent footwork and then bent one from 30 yards out. Smacked the post though. Gutting.

    Transfer market is not as active as last week.

    Cahill is leading the most transferred out DF.
    A.Young and Jarvis are the top two transferred out MF. And.. Rooney, the most out FW so far.

    For transfer in, people seems to continue obsessed with S.Taylor with P.Jones and Bosingwa far behind.
    Nani.. and Ramires are top two transferred in MF. And.. Aguero and Adebayor still hot assets.

    With identical team, captain choice is the key differential.. 🙂

        I'm just keeping Brunt for the foreseeable future. He's fit and playing again so I expect him to be back to assisting/bapping/converting the odd penalty in no time.

      Hard to say. Adebayor has risen 18% in 13 hours so far today. If Adebayor continues to rise at the same rate this evening, and if price rises take place at 4am again tonight (and that's a big 'if'), then he'll have risen by 33.2% by that time.

      This would take him to 105.3%.

      Nope. Both excellent value and therefore keep.

      No Chelsea players aside from Bos seem worthwhile. Best isn't the worst shout at his price, but HBA's return and Best's injury record would make me wary.

    Providing Gabbi is nailed on when fit, I think he is a bargain. Kenny, new back 3 surrounding him, plus Barton, Derry and Faurlin all there for protection on a tight Loftus Road pitch. Crucially, they are excellent at maintaining possession. Similar to the Swans, whom they rotate nicely with. If the fixtures weren't atrocious, I'd consider Kenny too.

    Finally content with my defence and think it is value for money. Hope Bos can finally get some CS. Schwarz has dropped a bit and I don't have any Sun or Stoke defensive coverage, but it looks reliable for the forseeable future.
