Sunday Dugout Discussion

The last day of the gameweek before another International Break dawns. We’ve got four games to get our last fantasy fix on as we open the Dugout Discussion. We start with Bolton playing host to Chelsea.

Bolton have made a whole host of changes from the side that which lost at Arsenal, including Adam Bogdan coming in as goalkeeper. Didier Drogba comes in for the suspended Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge is fit enough to face the side he helped so much in the spring of 2011. Team line-ups in full are…

Bolton XI: Bogdan; Steinsson, Boyata, Cahill, Robinson; Gardner, Pratley, Reo-Coker, Petrov; Ngog, K Davies

Chelsea XI: Cech; Bosingwa, Terry, Luiz, Cole; Ramires, Lampard, Meireles; Mata, Drogba, Sturridge

Before this tie finishes we’ll have two of the newly promoted sides facing off against two Europa League combatants as Swansea play host to Stoke and Fulham welcome QPR at three o’clock. All of this will be the pre-cursor to the main event as the big North London Derby kicks off with Spurs playing host to Arsenal. Odds of 33/1 on Emmanuel Adebayor replicating “that” celebration. He wouldn’t, would he?

We’ll be here through all of it, come what may.

    why didn't I bring Sturridge into my fpl team?????

    I put him in my team in another game. I should have brought him in in this one as well.

    He'll go into my my team now though.

      To be honest against a goalkeeper with no depth perception and a leaky defence I'd expect Boselli to score as much.

    Bolton are playing horribly. Left back position getting eaten alive. This won't continue. Coyle will make a half time change to solidify that corner. Still could be 6 or so.

      I agree that the left back is being eaten alive, but bare in mind so is the keeper, the right back, centre back, other centre back, centre mid, other centre mid, right mid, left mid, striker etc. Give Bolton credit, they are *only* losing 4-0 to the next Champions of England/Europe.

      As long as he's not sat in a dustbin, a £6.5m right-forward in a top three side is definitely worth it.

          Vlad made a very good point that my team, in theory, for next gameweek is absolutely fine. But I'm still teetering.
