A game for the (fantasy) football die-hards tonight, as Norwich City play host to Sunderland in the Gameweek six finale. Whilst Gary Neville has been fiddling with his gadgets for the best part of an hour, the Dugout Discussion has just opened for the late shift, and if you’ve just tuned in the team news from Carrow Road is as follows…

Norwich XI: Ruddy, Naughton, Russell Martin, Barnett, Tierney, Bennett, Bradley Johnson, Fox, Pilkington, Hoolahan, Morison.

Sunderland XI: Mignolet, O’Shea, Brown, Bramble, Richardson, Elmohamady, Larsson, Gardner, Vaughan, Bendtner, Sessegnon.

Both Paul Lambert and Steve Bruce have the rare luxury of naming an unchanged eleven. That means Wes Hoolahan continues in an advanced position, whilst Grant Holt sits on the pine for the Canaries. Big summer signings John O’Shea, Wes Brown and Niklas Bendtner all start for the Black Cats.

Take a pew in the Dugout Discussion, and let’s hope for an entertaining edition of Monday Night Football.

            You are on roughly the same as me and that team is pretty good. Just do one maybe another for a hit this week then sit back and enjoy the wildcard international break.

            I'm ditching rooney (if out) and brunt for Ade and Nani myself for a 4pt hit then wildcarding.

            Sit tight old bean.

    Hello all some assistance or guidance would be great...
    Vorm Krul
    S Ward Simpson De Laet R Taylor Bosingwa
    A Young Silva Taarbt Brunt Dyer
    RVP Rooney Adebayor

    1.2 mil in the bank

    2 Free’s atm

    I am thinking that with the spare money I can in the next few weeks. Go with changes like this:
    Ward > Woodgate First free Transfer

    De laet > Kompany – Can’t afford this unless I downgrade someone else.

    If I downgrade Rooney to Drogba I have 1.4 in the bank with Kompany and woodgate in the team otherwise with Suarez I have 2.1 for upgrading taarbt or brunt not many options around 7mil mark though.

    I reckon he will definitely start away at Bolton.
    He will have a point to prove to AVB, and could rake in the points.
